Can we stop pretending gays are oppressed in the USA?

Pretty much the same thing now days

Won't happen.

Pretending to be oppress is a moneymaker.

This is more of a **** you towards Fifa and Qatar than anything else. The crest is only on warmup kits. Qatar obviously has a terrible record of human rights and FIFA allowing them to basically tell the players to shut up and play is going to get some major pushback and I’m all for it. This crest and the one love arm band that the European countries are using all have yet to be sanctioned by FIFA so they won’t be used in actual games without any punishment unless FIFA sanctions it. It’s putting pressure on FIFA to pick a side between the dirty money they made letting Qatar host or their hypocritical stance on Diversity and Inclusion.

Take it up with Islam

How in the **** is Carr4MVP allowed to even still post in the main forum? The guy brings nothing to sports talk discussions. He cries in lounge threads more than Carr cries on postgame podiums.

Literally nobody cares.

You seem to make posts in different places laboring under the idea that anyone seeks your perspective.

Closer the tournament gets the more I think it’s going to be a very big one for Tim Weah. I think this is his moment and he is ready for it.

FIFA even tried to get Mexican supporters to stop this.

My favorite chant in world soccer.

Not sure why everyone is flying off the handle at you. Our soccer players spend as much time on being activists as they do playing soccer. They are an easy bunch to root against.

World cup kick off times are pretty decent for me. The games are mostly at either 3pm or 7pm so if a good match is on I'll just finish work early at 2.30. Think you lot might be getting a bit screwed though.

Yeah these times are not great. As a teacher the summer was pretty much perfect. This is not so much, especially coaching hs hockey.

Because I don't break the rules.

:D

I very much feel this as well. One week!

Would love that. He’s been playing really well for Lille and he’s really our only true winger. He brings so much when he’s in the lineup at RW. I’m very nervous to see the lineup Berhalter goes with. I’d say Pulisic at LW Adams at CDM Zimmerman at CB Robinson at LB and Turner at GK are really the only players I’m confident will be starting against Wales. The rest is up in the air and that’s kind of crazy at this point to have more than half your lineup not completely figured out. Maybe it’s not and I’m overthinking it. I guess it’s a problem a lot of national teams also have with a lot of talent to figure out the best 11.

My starting 11 would be:
Pulisic (LW) Sargent (ST) Weah (RW)
Aaronson (CM) Adams (CDM) McKennie (CM)
Robinson (LB) Ream (CB) Zimmerman (CB) Scally (RB)
Turner (GK)

Main subs I would use since we get 5 this year would be Reyna, Musah, Long, Ferreira, and the 5th would depend on how the game is flowing.

Honestly, you could easily swap Dest and Scally (I may just have a bundesliga bias towards him, but I think he’s a better defender than Dest and Dest can bring an extra spark as a sub that Scally wouldn’t if you need a goal) I think Reyna and Aaronson are pretty interchangeable too as starters so it will be interesting to see what we go with.
