    Does Pollard Belong On "CyRushmore"? Hell No*

    I skimmed it so I got the general gist. As it is, I think the Mt. Rushmore argument should be saved for players and coaches that had direct impact on what happened on the court or field, like Orr, Hoiberg, Fizer, (potentially) Otz, Bruce, Major, (potentially) Campbell, Davis, Wallace, and...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    You know, as much as I abhor the amount of questionable (at best) calls Argentina has gotten against Cape Verde and Egypt the last couple of rounds, especially in regards to the misuse of VAR, the amount of people online whining about the yellow-turned-red against the Swiss player are outright...

    Switzerland had to get hyperaggressive and left themselves open to the Argentine counter. Game.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    When JP took over in the mid 2000s I never expected he'd be an ISU lifer, especially with his ties to Wisconsin, and then his health scares. His tenure hasn't been perfect and he's faced a lot of criticism, but it's safe to say ISU would not be where it's at had it not been for his efforts, and...

    Well, Morocco is going to have to get even more aggressive now - either they tie it up quick or it's going to snowball from here. But the way the first half went, this was inevitable.

    Morocco can thank their goaltender for still being in this game - he's the only reason why they are. I don't mind the stutter-steps - to me that's no different than a deke in a hockey penalty shot. What I don't like is the practical start/stop/start. I thought you weren't allowed to come to a...

    You do realize the rest of the world is catching up to us in basketball and baseball, and while we own the gold in hockey from these Olympics, we're essentially level with Canada and many other nations aren't far behind? How many of the last #1 draft picks and draft picks overall have come from...

    Nobody wants to say it, but Jurgen Klinsmann was right (for all of his faults) - our development system is holding us back from being true contenders on the world stage. And nobody - from all of the YMCA programs at the bottom all the way up to USSF at the top (I am pretty sure I spelled the...

    I didn't give this a listen, these are just a few random thoughts of my own. I seem to remember hearing USMNT was one of the youngest teams at the World Cup. Obviously a double-edged sword: either it means they're young and have every potential to get much, much better as they get more...

    Argentina brought the heat and Egypt left the kitchen. Complete and utter meltdown.

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Yeah, I think substitutions are infinite, or, at the very least, players that have been subbed out can come back in later in the game. That alone makes it a completely different game, especially in terms of game strategy and skill level at various levels of stamina consumption (someone could be...

    but if the NCAA really wants to get into the feeder system game like it is with other American pro sports it really needs to get its head out of its ass and adopt FIFA rules and regulations. while it continues to insist on "American college soccer", which is extremely different from what's...

    I mean, the most obvious reason MLS doesn't want to switch to a fall-spring schedule is it'll never compete with football in the fall or basketball (or hockey, simply due to its decades head start) in the winter and spring. Spring-fall all it really has to compete with is baseball, and that IS...
