well, you guys gave it a good go...no doubt there. I was a little disappointed in the energy level from the US today...I was expecting soo much more with so much on the line. They fought hard though and Kingston was tough to beat.

It doesn't matter anymore, but the penalty call was an incorrect call, you could clearly see the Ghana player did make contact with the ball prior to the take down. It did open up the game though and made it fun to watch!

Let's go Oranje now!

by playing Ghana?

what would have happened if you played Brazil or Argentina?

We're still going up against Ghana's best 20 athletes. Imagine how good we could be if our best athletes all played soccer. We'd be like the Greatest Show on Turf, ringing up 30-point wins over the Seahawks of the world.

We are facing every other country's Michael Jordan, Steve Smith, Albert Pujols and Sidney Crosby at once.

This is a good point and I was thinking about this today while watching the game... what's Ghana's population? Can't be anywhere close to ours... if our elite athletes were playing soccer instead of football, baseball, and basketball (the money sports here) we would kill at the world cup..

Edit: this really was an original thought of mine... didn't see Meat's other post until after I posted... :D

I think the hype/pressure caused the guys to come out flat. The lineup was NOT a good one. I was calling for a sub in the first half and Bradley listened.

I'm iffy on the penalty on Ghana. Normally hitting the ball is cool, but it's where he was at and his angle. Think of it like the ole football move we hear about. Was his move a soccer move meaning was it a true competitive play on the ball or he got a piece of the ball while sweeping the leg? Yes, that was intentional.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
