Was this an attempt at calling me a tall lanky ginger dude?

It was actually me seeing a word that wasn't in your original post. My mind inserted the word "ginger" in your sentence describing yourself as a tall lanky dude, and trying to provide some comfort.

I just re-read your post, and I see that you are not Ronald Weasley.

Tonight's match is going to be fugly. Panama has given up only 5 goals in 8 Hex matches and they will be content to sit back and play for the tie.
I agree. It is going to be a very ugly game. Panama has NO incentive to go for a goal all game. A tie and they are almost (maybe?) guaranteed a spot in at least the play-in game. I am nervous about the US going too strong in the first 20-30 and giving up a goal. Would be absolutely catastrophic as the US hasn't shown the ability to break down teams repeatedly this qualifications season.

Did Cameron tweak something in training? Anybody hear any chatter on this? I'm not thrilled with choosing Omar over him if it's a straight up coach's pick.

I'm also not crazy about Dempsey not starting. I hope Bruce has a quick trigger on getting Dempsey into this game. If it stays scoreless and he holds onto that sub until the 70th minute, it will be a huge mistake. Against a bunkered team, we need guys who can create magic out of nothing. Pulisic and Dempsey are our two best at that.

Jozy with another ridiculous layoff for Pulisic. Jozy takes way too much **** for not scoring goals. He's a pretty damn good forward even when he's not banging them in consistently.
