What a waste of time watching that snoozer. This is why soccer will never really take off in the US. I’ve played soccer and coached youth soccer for a dozen years. This was as boring as it gets.

Pretty proud of USA after that game. Some expected offensive failures…but otherwise a good performance!😃

D212374A-9C2B-455F-8F6F-8DC294EFB14A.jpegWell that ends today with some great action.

USA - England 0 - 0 

Not many expected that one and it takes us to the last games of the group to decide who goes to next round.  Basically win and your in. (simplest math)

For US they need to win to get 5 points and in that case they are definitely in.  A Draw against Iran and they are out since that will give Iran 4 points and England would have 4 points to the US 3 points.

Whales would probably still be on the outside looking in unless they beat England by 4+ since the first tie breaker is goal differential and (ENG beat Iran by 4)

In any case this has set up a lot of drama in a few days time.

Below is current standings after today:

Heck, try watching the Browns vs Chargers game or any other football games these days.. Baseball has been shelved by me a long time ago lol.

This game was exciting for me, action on both sides of the field and lots of chances.

This game was like a baseball game where both teams got two hits and never got past first base. At least in baseball they are trying to score. The last 20 minutes of this game the US was trying to run out the clock.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

0-0 not really what you want as far as overall entertainment goes, but we'll obviously take that against England. I was pretty nervous throughout but calmed down when I thought we kinda took over possession at one point. Pretty impressive I thought.

Big time grudge match incoming with Iran on Tuesday at 2pm EST (11/29). I'm already feeling the nerves!

Some good games on deck today

Tunisia - Australia 0 - 1 

Wasn’t an exciting affair and the goal was an early one from a strange bounce but an amazing flick to find the side of the net.

 

KSA - Poland

Argentina - Mexico

France - Denmark

It’s still possible for something to occur that changes everything…to me that’s the intensity. The game is always moving. Baseball is 3hrs with a combined action time of about 30min.

KSA missing a penalty and a rebound in front of the net doesn't sit well with fans!

Ya that was bad.

Poland players are just bruisers and zkSA players weren’t as quick as the mexicans so they pretty much took a physical beat down.  The better team won today.

KSA - Poland 0 - 2

France - Denmark 0 - 0 at half.  Good game so far with lots of chances both sides, but I give the French the edge and think they will probably pull it off.

Nice goal by Pulisic to put US up 1-0. Hopefully he is not hurt too bad.

That disallowed offside US goal at the end of first half was CLOSE.

US 1 -0 Iran at the half.

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      Physics

      By GolfLug · Posted

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!
