And that is the same argument my brother had, which I agree with, sadly. Other problem with soccer becoming bigger in US, and I believe someone else mentioned it, is tv revenue. It will almost never make as much in revenue in the US (world cup notwithstanding, though I would argue without the USA at least being semi competitive, i bet would still hold). Broadcasters do not enjoy a sport that will go 45+ minutes without a break to show commercials, which is where they make their money. And I fully agree need to get them playing as kids, but again, the ones who are athletes that could have a sniff of those college scholarships aren't playing soccer.

This is one of those world cups gives hope for the future of this USA team. they are the 3rd youngest, so if can stay together and healthy and hopefully pick up a center forward who is a finisher, preferably taller then 5'10". Netherlands strategy was obvious from the beginning, pack 10 guys at top of box to about 25 feet further out and don't chase the USA players around knowing that your 6'+ defenders mean they can't lift ball from wings into the box for potential header goals. watching looks like USA is dominating with the ball control, but by half, down 2-0, with the Dutch strategy working perfectly. Somehow, USA needs to convince in highschool some of these potential 6'4" pointguards who won't make the NBA to come play soccer. My brother and I say similar thing regarding rugby. Team usa coach needs to travel to 2nd level colleges and convince some of the linebackers/runningbacks/defensive backs that they won't make nfl, so come try rugby and play on international level.

Is that specific to Triceratops or any dinosaur. Just asking for a friend who might need a loophole.

Obviously doing his montage of working out and learning to fight before avenging his queen.

anyone else wish they had hired Coogan to follow Waititi around for the sole purpose of wacking him across the head and saying "Bad Waititi" when necessary?

Korg is Kronan, but he actually comes from Planet Hulk, and was cool in it. Part of Ragnarok, specifically the arena stuff, was lifted from Planet Hulk. Too bad, actually, as Planet Hulk was really good - Hulk as Conan basically.

USA has to find a way to score. For the last 20 minutes of the first half and first 20 of the second half they had England playing with dead legs, as the youth of USA (3rd youngest team in tournament) wore them out, but they could not put a ball in the net. I think both teams should feel lucky to have tied 0-0, though USA probably feels better about it. there is no scenario where comes down to goal differential between Wales and US. US has 2 points, Wales 1. each win, USA 5 points, Wales 4 (tieing them with England). Going into final round; England 4 pts GD +4 Iran 3 pts GD -2 US 2 pts GD 0 Wales 1 pt GD -2 Working the scenarios - US/IRAN: winner goes through, Loser out; Tie means Iran possibly in, USA out England/Wales: England win or tie, England in, Wales out; Wales win by less then 4(?), England in, Wales in if Iran ties, else out. Wales win by more then 4, England out, regardless of other game on GD. Wales will be without their top goalie.

My brother and I were both joking that Portugal and Brazil could also compete in the synchronized diving events. I missed the portugal game, but according to him, Renaldo should be given an oscar for the dive that got him the PK.

I also suspect, going meta, that they wanted to give the helmet to someone younger to play Fate in the future. I also got the impression that they were presenting a very tired and older Fate here.

It occurred to me that they kind of matched Hawkman's powers to what we saw of Hawkgirl's in the Dini Justice League series, where she was one of the lesser heavyweights.

When the punt was returned with 5 seconds left in the jets/patriots, all I could think was "What a very Jests way of losing". I mean, with 5 seconds left, why are you punting the ball anywhere near a return man?

I think I would have to add a 2nd matching sock or remove that one or my OCD would result in someones death, probably mine.

That number seems high for the Raiders and Denver. wonder how they will change this weekend when the 2 teams play.

Was funny, I was just telling someone how I missed smart Thor from the first 2 movies and avengers. Just got back, and enjoyed it immensely. Everyone was fantastic. Not having seen the D+ series, is Dreyfus basically Marvel's answer to Amanda Waller? Also, take your tissues, the movie does a great job of paying tribute to Boseman. I fall on the don't mind the change to Namor and thought the actor did a good job.

Funnily, and I know the background supposedly comes from the roman/greek Atlantis, I have always seen Namor as Asiatic. He has sharp features with apparently slanted eyes. I never really associated a race with him other then that.

I guess I would ask how fast you expect them to get another movie out? No Way Home came out in 2021. so basically only a year ago.

Saddest part to me about New Mutants, and I agree was terrible, was that I wouldn't have minded seeing something good with the 5 youngsters playing the characters correctly, ie, I thought the casting was done well. I thought was good for awhile, but I agree became, quickly, to depressing and when it turned out pretty much every main character that wasn't named Adama was one of the hidden cylon i was out.

a little after halftime my brother commented on all the close games. I said the Raiders seemed the only non close, but I expect them to make it close. Next thing my brother typed was that I was right and Raiders gave up 17 straight points. I feel for him, he is a Raider fan and just a few years ago they seemed so close.

I would add one other thing, kind of goes with your One: How many times have we watched a DC film (I am specifically thinking the Superman movies) that were not even close ideologically to the character fans know. For all the arguments, Marvel has presented the characters we expected on screen.

and did it playing with 10 men in last 10+ minutes of extra time when their goalie got hurt and they had to bring in his backup. the end of that game was just amazing. Philly scored in the 10+ minutes of extra time then the LAFC tied it back. Turns out their backup goalie used to be the backup in Philly and is a PK specialist. He saved 2 PKs and the other was put over the net.

MLW? don't know that one. I dont follow wwe at all. I do watch NJPW every week. and I don't really follow Impact.

My brother and I were just discussing the other night the 3 on 3 overtime and how much guys like Gretzky, Lemieu, Ovechkin, Howe etc. are thinking, man wish we had that in our day.

At least it isn't Welsh.

My biggest takeaway this weekend was that the Bengals should sit Burrow for his own safety. If they couldn't block against a not very good Browns team (i swear 50 was lining up at one of the running back spots the whole game). Until they get their O-line together, he is going to be killed and I would hate to see him turn into another David Carr. What makes it worse, he was sacked that many times and he is top of the QBs in how quickly he gets the ball out. I truly think he can be a franchise QB, but not as a paraplegic.

So, AEW continuing the selling old guys over young have now signed Jeff Jarrett to help brutalize Darby.
