If its Cockney, don't we then also have to rhyme with shoe? Call him Roo or Lou or Chew.

Donovan and Howard both played for Everton

You guys just don't get comedy.

Yeah, I'd say the US's problem is that they try to keep their talent in the MLS instead of letting them play in objectively better leagues in Europe.

Not for nothing, but how did this guy not end up with the nickname of Tennis? I feel like we dropped the ball on that one, guys.

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/310545/rasmus-dahlin Puts him at 6-3 185, which isn't teeny. He's got some room on his frame, though.

Sheary should be kinda fun with them.

But are they going to give THREE auto berths? US and Mexico SHOULD make it anyways, but obviously that's not a guarantee.

Looks like they came in fourth place in 1986: https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/belgium-at-the-2018-world-cup-schedule-scores-how-to-watch-eden-hazard-tv-and-live-stream-players-to-watch/

Belgium/France is a fun matchup.

That screamer by DeBruyne ?

A quick and not so great attempt

Ok, that number looks damn good.

Looks like its happening, folks

oof, why'd you have to remind me of that name

From my completely uneducated guess, straight from the gut, I'd put them at about Championship.

Yeah, these are all good signs, especially Weah. Getting time on PSG is a big deal.

Spurs make 58m bid for Pulisic: https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2018/07/05/report-spurs-place-58-million-bid-for-u-s-star-christian-pulisic/?sf193183769=1

Do what you like, wear what you like, be who you like. Life is too short to worry about what's cool.

Do we need a Gilligan's Island OT thread?

Winner of this match wins the Cup, at least that's my bet.

I hate TG on twitter, but he's the best writer in the area IMO, bar none.

England Englanding again.

My favorite thing about 15 is that it could really be his. If he ever really became a star he'd have a good look at the best NHLer in 15 ever, possibly in (American Big 4) sports. Look at this list, Starr is the clear winner at the moment: On this list of NHLers its Milt Schmidt, who I've never heard of: https://www.si.com/nhl/photos/2010/09/30greatest-nhl-players-by-jersey-number#15 #9 is obviously a bit tougher...
