You should see if there is a friendly near you. They never sell out. It's embarrassing. The attendance at the friendlies in September was abysmal.

I’m in the heart of PA. They’re usually in OH. That’s a bit of a drive but would be worth it. 2026 is my goal though. Save up a grand and go to Philly. July 4th. Round of 16.

Hopefully we make the round of 16. But if your Hershey homeboy CP10 keeps playing like he has been this year for Milan, we have a chance.

Here’s hoping he does.

I just picked up the 2 home and away jerseys for 2023 for $40 a piece. Pretty nice get. Were supposed to be $170.

Now I have some soccer gear.

Speaking of which, PIAA has a 2 man system that we master during the regular season play for reffih then immediately jumps to 3 man for playoffs where you switch off center every 26ish minutes. Man is it chaotic. I have to get in shape very fast to be good at centering.these 17-18 year olds can get on a run fast.

Poch’s debut was interesting.

We didn’t see much different, taking Pulisic out in the 66th minute was sort of telling. Load management going into 2026? Or helping club?

Beating Panama is expected, but they’ve got a squad worthwhile.

USMNT started off hot tonight. Pepi within 5 minutes. Then Matt Turner answered his own fuck up with a huge PK save. They’ve earned the result. Hopefully it stands.

did you watch the game? I missed it. From the stats looked like lots of possession but not many shots

Field was absolutely atrocious. Jamaica was fierce on the counter attack racking up many scoring chances. Their crowd was pretty rowdy. There was a shoulder ball in the box that was pretty controversial from Ream. Could have been a hand if a different ref saw it.

All in all, pretty good opening for the Nations League. Tough to beat opposing teams on the road even if they’re lesser teams. I’ve seen better fields on the worst high school fields I’ve reffed.

@SaggyBallZ Mexico losing 2-0 to Honduras in the first leg. People on reddit are saying expect fuckery to get Mexico through. Interesting result if it holds in Mexico though. USA would have their first tourney under Poch to be a complete success. Mexico would then be looking at ‘26 in a world of hurt.

Mexico is so bad right now.

Im not even sure they are a top 5 team in CONCACAF
