half of france's team is hurt. denmark isnt a bad side and could nick points off them. i dont know which one would be sweeter: watching mexico lose or watching the argies go home early in "messi's last world cup." who am i kidding, the answer is always "watching mexico lose."

he's very athletic, that's for sure. a lot of the passes he throws look good, but then you see just the complete terrible ones thrown to no one. i dont know enough about football to know of he's doing a good job finding receivers downfield or going through his progressions. will levis, for all his flaws, also plays in the sec with undermanned receovers amd has a 67% completion rating.

55% completion rate is very poor for a college qb prospect.

what a shot by hronek.

they better not draft a tight end. they have enough already at tight end and have glaring needs at other positions. lamar is getting franchised.

it will either be berggren or soderblom that goes down. i'd rather see suter be benched.

these soccer threads always devolve into people posting about how much "soccer sucks". its why i dont start them. if you dont like it, cool. its not for everyone.

no, its not like that at all. there's a lot of tension in a game where one score means everything. and there's always something happening - unlike american sports where the most common event during the game is a commercial.

pick up corum in round 3.

survived.

shaq moore is going to cost this team the game.

and england backs off again. i dont get it.

one mistake is all it takes to win. i dont see how that isnt exciting, but to each their own.

there's the press from england.

ecuador won 2-0...

neither southgate nor berhalter are known for their tactical "nous". we'll see if they can make a change or just keep the status quo.

US has been much better in this game. but, they were good in the first half of the wales game until wales made an adjustment at halftime to bring in a striker and play long ball and the us couldnt cope. will england make an adjustment? dont know. i dont know why they arent pressing our centerbacks when they have the ball. the us tries to play out of the back and cant, but even our terrible centerbacks can make a pass when they have no pressure. i expect england to press more in the second half. same for the us. england's weakness is harry maguire and john stones on the ball. theyve been doing a good job so far in preventing bellingham and rice from getting the ball and moving forward. let's see if they get more aggressive in the press. gio is the us's most skilled player and he hasnt played a minute yet. id like to see him come on later. maybe a second half sub for wright to add another body in midfield. i doubt one american player would make this english team so being tied with them at the break is a great job by the us. and they were the better team for much of the half.

i dont want a running back in the first round. definitely not with a top 5 pick.

meh. if most of those guys were getting more minutes against better competition, their stats would "suck" too.

green bay will be playing jordan love at qb and trying to lose for draft position.

his shot seems weird to me too. like a push shot, low on his chest.

it worked earlier in the game.

no. even if you like goff, you could use a younger qb to groom for the position. this is a qb league and goff is an average to below average one. they could use an upgrade at the position. now, becsuse theyre the lions, they could use an upgrade at A TON of other positions too...

the percentage play was to sneak the ball for a first down on 3rd and 1 rather than throw a fade down the sidelines to a covered receiver. i remember grbac to howard as fondly as the next guy, but goff to reynolds just doesnt have the same chances for success.

we all expected this to be a loss and they lost. if they lose to jacksonville next week that will be the epitome of "same ol lions."
