Sadly FOX won't be able to match this pregame video tonight. An all timer from 12 years ago.

Please God,

Let Balo go for a hat trick tonight. I want to see the Europoors cry some more all the while Balo joins the Golden Boot discussion.

Amen.

the other thing that sucks about all of this Balogun red nonsense is it it is detracting from the build up to the game.


That's the media for you.
They always have to stir-up crap and beat certain things to death.

Could be. Would be interesting though if he has no effect on this game really either way. Then what will they ***** about.

Bosnia isn't playing tonight nor does Bosnia have anything to be mad about. They lost that match even when they had a bs call in their favor. I'm not worried about it. In fact, right now it might be the best option given the outcry from all the other nations

Agreed. Do not understand the complaint, most likely they would claim about anyone selected

guys, I get it....I bleed red white and blue too. The world is dumb though. What do we all think about Tx Tech now? Does their amazing playoff appearance and season last year mean anything outside of Lubbock right now? No, it's all sorsby and tech is shady af for even entertaining playing him. They're hated almost as much as tu and bama nationally right now.

I don't make the dumb PR rules, I just try to live in a world where our president doesn't admit that he made a behind the scenes call to get a 1 game ban overturned.

I'm sure this site (including me) could all get in an uproar over his politics, but anytime Wright Thompson can narrate a pregame, it's gonna be nails.

You, me, and everyone else, do actually make the dumb pr rules by our reactions


They only taint here wouldve have been a Belgium victory while facing a not full strength usa team. That would've been the true travesty.

I don't make any of it. I appreciate that you maybe haven't looked online today, but it's a bloodbath and annoying af

I assume regardless of outcome, everybody here wants Poch back, correct? Feels like he is what we've been needing tactically in combination of our emerging/growing talent base.

I'd like him back. Don't know if we will be able to keep him

You know...watching this, one thought leapt to the front...

Imagine Jermaine Jones with the way the refs have swallowed their whistles in these matches...

Yeah I thought I saw something about that. Can't imagine it will be cheap, but is USSF funded privately as well as corporately?

Founder of Citadel is footing some of his current salary along with another hedge fund founder and some corporations. If we beat Belgium, I don' think there will be a shortage of folks/corporations that will pony up money to keep Poch, if Poch wants to commit to another cycle.

Sorry I know I'm derailing this thread a bit. I didn't realize there was some chasm of difference between top flight league/teams manager salaries and international manager salaries.

Will probably need to increase his base significantly to keep him. Although it appears he is open to stay due to relationship with players and future competitions on American soil.

If we win it all, God willing, I will be too busy polishing the star over the the crest to worry about what anyone else says.

I will have to say that Poch and the Federation did a really good job of getting the types of teams lined up for pre-WC friendlies to prepare the team. The bonus is that we're actually playing some of them in the WC.

I wonder if there is a reality where we stay with the lineup/tactics without balogun, was pretty short notice to try to implement him back in to the plans.
