How many ships were in the, now departed, Ironborn fleet?
A certain blond with a large army is looking for 1000 ships.

I think Arya is supposed to kill the Waif as she has shown way too much emotion in training Arya to the point of being cruel.

Given that all the upcoming Riverlands stuff is from book 4, it's not out of the question to have her appear in Ep 10. Especially since a major factor in cutting her out was saving the back from the dead sorcery until after Jon Snow.

If we get out of the group and lose to Brazil in the quarters, I think it's a good tournament. If we lose in the group stages, but the likes of Yedlin, Wood, Zardes, Pulisic and Brooks have good performances, I think it's a win as well. USMNT twitter is gonna be outraged if we don't advance, but it's all perspective. What we can't do is lay an egg on our own turf. I think if we do...we have to start thinking about Klinsman's future.

She now goes by Lady Stoneheart

I was under the impression she was a character cut from the show, but the direct mention of the Brotherhood an the other parties coming together do set a perfect mix to introduce her back

Sooooo the Brothers without Bonds, Jamie Lannister, Briene, and now the Tullys are all on a collision course? Anyone else getting the very strong feeling we might be seeing a certain someone coming back from dead so to speak very shortly?

1. They'll probably loosely follow the book plot (though a ton of important details have changed, so I mean VERY loosely), and have Jaime negotiate an end to the siege using Edmure. Though given how different show Jaime is from book Jaime, he may actually side with the Tullys over the Freys. The Tullys are not so much necessary for Jon, since they're too few and too far away. They'd be more useful allies for the future, but don't expect fish banners at Bastardbowl.

2. Sam's story is now totally unpredictable. His actions seem to suggest he just wants to play house with Gilly and that won't happen at the wall or at Maester school. Still think it's most likely he goes to Oldtown and just keeps Gilly close by, but there are an endless number of ways it could go. The Wall is just the least likely option.

3. Since show Benjen is show Coldhands, we can assume that he cannot cross the wall at this point, since book Coldhands cannot cross the wall. Bran returning to the other side of the Wall might change this, as we saw that the Night's King touching him essentially removes magic protections that keep Others and wights out of places where he is.

4. The Waif is out to kill Arya now, with Jaquen's apparent blessing. We'll likely get some closure to that storyline first, so I wouldn't expect Arya to board any boats till Ep 10, assuming she does that at all.

Entering this tournament with cautious optimism. I love Duece but was unimpressed with the fact he didn't play higher and stretch either teams back 4. How many times did he get knocked down and then spens the next couple of minutes complaining? Would rather see him play a role off the bench. Zardes is dangerous playing a more central role. Jermaine Jones seems like he never ages. He plays hard for 90 minutes. Bedoya impressed me the most. His delivery was exceptional against Bolivia and that will be needed against Colombia.

I think killing the Waif as a test would be a fantastic twist for Arya's arc. Because otherwise, it all seems fairly pointless right now. It's not as if she picked up any new skills necessarily in the House of Black and White. Perhaps that was the hint with the little smirk the Waif gave as she walked away, perhaps she has personal feelings about it that's a no no.
