I’ve not followed him since he left Barca. Has he not done well at Aston Villa?

Wow, hats off to the director for such a swift and appropriate response.

I stayed up to watch the game, at least until the first US goal so I could go to sleep feeling better about the USA’s chances and I’m upset at myself for watching that entire dumpster fire of a performance from the USA. Portugal, despite being unable to produce many dangerous chances in front of goal, was so much better in possession, and came within inches of knocking out the reigning back to back champions. It felt like the US couldn’t string more than two passes together. It was abysmal.

Well that’s a great way to help lure better talent to your favorite club: threaten them with career ending wounds for being one of the worst teams in the league.

Ya for real. Cards on the table, I don’t subscribe to The Athletic, but it’s a solid sports outlet. Whenever I see a story posted from there, I get a little sad that I won’t get to read it, but I recognize it’s probably a good article.
