They either converted a bus over here, or they shipped a bus over here, either long before the World Cup. Dutch fans are interesting.
Maybe. I don't think Franklin's the best in game coach; he excels at roster building. Maybe he's better than Brent Pry with that roster, idk.
Franklin has won everywhere he's been because he's recruited and raised funds better than anyone else in program history. I expect him to do the same at VT.
Maybe Franklin never has a roster as bad as VT 2024. But its tough to say how much of the 2024 talent was due to recruiting blunders versus the budget, especially in the NIL era
I think Ream was named captain as the locker room leader of the team - which I don't hate at all. I think he got the ceremonial start against Paraguay but I doubt he starts against Turkiye
Chris Richards ain't scared!
Already cringing thinking about Tim Ream trying to slow them down.
Out of 7 goals, he didn't have a goal or assist...and cost me a parlay.
Still can't believe it! What a run. They were a great team, and they added the pieces they needed to finally get over the hump and win it all. Let's go Canes!!!
The other takeaway is that Türkiye will likely be front footed against us since they need the win and won't be settling for the draw. Our defense will need to be sharp and there will be opportunities to strike on the counter attack
Yeah I was watching with a German buddy from my soccer team and he does not like Sane. I know nothing about him but watching yesterday he definitely squandered several opportunities. He didn't look great
LET'S GO CANES! STANLEY CUP CHAMPS!!!
Told myself early in this 8 year run to just enjoy the ride, since I didn't appreciate VTs 10 win streak without reaching the mountain top.
So incredible that the Canes went and won the whole thing!
It was fun showing the fans from Argentina and Honduras some Texas-style hospitality here in B/CS last Saturday.
I was down IH-45 on Lake Conroe, when the Dutch invaded one of the best locations

Didn't think we needed a new thread, so...
Congrats to Cackalacky

UNC makes it 5-2 in bottom of the 7th
2-2 in 7th.
Troy eliminated Ole Miss.
What you take away is that's 3 points Turkey didn't get, which given their talent can only help us. The goal differential is also huge. Massively increases odds of winning the group.
I'm in Houston, and yesterday was out watching early games at an ice house. Couple obvious Germans come in and get a bucket of Bud Lights. My stepdad and his friends insisted that we could not let that stand. Bought them a bucket of actual beer and then chatted and gave recommendations for how to get to/from game and where to get beers after.
Then today at the game, just chatting with people, they are having the times of their life. In HOUSTON.
The problem on defense was the whole back line being over aggressive in possession and playing way high, and Curacao having some guys that are fast as fuck. There were several points that Neuer was at midfield during open play and I was sure they were gonna gift one.
Also, would've scored 2-3 more if Leroy fucking Sane wasn't still in the lineup for some reason. He's not the guy he was 4 years ago, not that he was a world beater then. Really wish Nagelsmann would stop being so loyal to the geezers, and had brought Said El Mala instead.
All that said, I surprised my parents, first by visiting, second by taking them to the game. Stupid money, but 10/10, once a generation experience. I think Curaçao brought their entire population, and they were hype the whole time. Down 7-1? Who gives a shit, we're just happy to be here. And they were LOUD.
UNC is up 2-1 on WVU in 3rd
I can't decide what to take from the Australia v Türkiye match. Oddsmakers still give the US a higher percentage chance to lose or tie vs both teams in the next 2 games than to win.
Paraguay was the 2nd hardest team to score against during qualifying in CONMEBOL. They only allowed 10 goals through 18 matches played. They had as many qualifying points as Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay at 28.
I think Franklin wins more than 7ish games with the 24 roster. I base this on the fact that Pry won 6 with the 24 roster and dropped 5 one score games.
I have to think Franklin wins us at least 2 of those 5.
(Also, going back and looking at the 2024 season results is insane. Our "worst" loss was a 10 point loss to Clemson in which we led at halftime. If you just saw the results and didn't watch the games, you'd say it's crazy how close we came to being 11-1 or even 12-0 if you think about it. But if you watched the games, you'd know the truth, which is that the results could have been so much worse.)
Don't you put that evil on me
checks out
Lol, this could be true. I hope it's not. US looked legitimately strong against Paraguay. I guess we'll see how the rest of the group stage goes.
some quick googling told me they ship it all over the world for fan events. Which is insane.
