Had no idea the Jacksonville Jaguars coach once coached the USMNT ;)

Caught it before you responded, don't worry.

At least I understood the Yedlin substitution :-P

As I've said before, I believe the US will win a World Cup before the much prophecised (and seemingly delayed) African breakthrough, but that doesn't mean that they're going to win of course. T

I'm sure that's what America would like to think, and I'm equally sure there's some currency in it, but by the same logic think yourself lucky that India has never taken to baseball (3 times America's

After the 2010 WC, I predicted that it would be Germany and Brazil in the finals of the 2014 WC. I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. FWIW, here are the groups. We definitely have the m

I'm still upset at him for his own goal to lose the world cup final in my FIFA 14 Career ;)

Can't tell which team is more irritated with this result.

Awful. What a gross ending.

A draw isn't awful. They played well.

As much as that stinks, the saving grace here is Germany can still tie us and win the group, so hopefully they play conservatively.

This is very true. It is just how it happened. I think it was devastating.

Bright side ... Save for Cameron's whiff, we looked pretty darn good today, I thought. Keep improving. Question: Since US and Germany both know a tie is enough, how conservative do they play?

It's just heartbreaking. It look like Us are going to secure a spot and eliminate Portugal. Then the Hail Mary goes down. Just sick to my stomach. Still, a great chance to advance. Ghana-Portugal draw? US Advances.

Good news is, win or tie seals the US team's advance, and they could still advance with a loss and some help.

Either way, I still think Portugal's ****ed. Even if they beat Ghana by 2(Doubtful) and Germany beats the US by 2(Probable), The US would still advance with a -1 GD to Portugal's -2 GD. So hoping Portugal and Ghana draw or Portugal wins by 1 or two. If Ghana wins, then we may be in trouble

That pass I forgot who missed when they were playing D in the last minutes that allowed Portugal possession. That killed us.

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
