    OT World Cup Roster

    in Billikens.com Main Board

    Posted

    Talent-wise, we are a lot closer to England than the other two imo. We're young and Berhalter isn't the man for the job, BUT our talent can prevail. A healthy Reyna is back. He looks like a world beater in Dortmund right now. Our Leeds lads have been very good. Call me a homer, but IF Gregg stays out of the way (that's a big if), I've talked myself into the possibility of winning the group. England is really thin where we are deep - our wings vs their back line, especially if Walker isn't fit. I think our midfield can play with theirs. I think Jude could give us fits, but if Southgate plays any of Mount/Henderson/Gallagher, they're in big trouble. If they elect to go with two, advantage US. Their best creator is Maddison and Southgate has never played him when he's had the chance. Phillips will give us fits as we go forward, but not sure if Southgate will play him. Now, Dest and Jedi will have to play really well, as Foden is truly world class and Saka has been playing well as of late (fwiw, Ream and Robinson both played well vs City and Arsenal this season). Grealish would give us fits in the final third but Southgate hasn't played him with regularity either. Tuchel (RIP) turned Sterling from one of the most dynamic players in the world under Pep to just another guy. We need to be weary of giving away free kicks. Trippier is one of the best in the world.

     

    As you can see, my mind is far enough away from Saudi Arabia to where I've talked myself into this. Don't try to disagree with me. I'm the one who is right. Just be ready for an all-time day drinking day on 11/25. And three points.

    Literally anyone else…?   Long is essentially a traffic cone since his injury.  Just on the roster alone, I’d start Ream or CCV alongside Zim.  Not on the roster, I’d take Brooks, EPB, Sands, McKenzie. Hell, I’d even take Justen Glad or Matt Miazga before Long.  
     

    Long got torched all year by MLS attackers, how do we think he’s gonna cope with Kane ?

    Yeah I’m not sure Long would be in top 10-15, much less top 2, and fwiw Zimmerman hasn’t been great post-Robinson either. The pairing was really good against some subpar teams (and Mexico), but for now the position is in some real trouble. 

     

    ESPN+ ?

    Question for those with ESPN+...

    Can you record on ESPN+?  

     Will keep the games available for a limited time?? 

    With streaming guessing you can rewind?

     

    Yep, as 05 said. There's no reason to record as all of the games for that season are available to watch on-demand

    I’d like to see him get a few reps under his belt. 
    I don’t want him going into the first meaningful game we play without him having played a real game in a year. 
     

     

    We’d be favored against Murray by more than a dozen even without Perkins. We (theoretically) can afford that to be his warmup

    Was on StubHub securing tickets to this.  Looks like GA? Has anyone been in this arena and can confirm?  No reason to buy good seats if it’s first come/first serve.  Any insights are appreciated

    I’d be really surprised if there weren’t still some available through Loyola 

     

    edit: looks like some are still available but I’d act fast. Many of us are in 204 & 205

    Sweet 16...Buy Or Sell?

    I just want them to make the Tourney.  A mid-major needs to win their Conference Tourney or have one heck of a winning record to get an at-large bid.  So talking about Sweet 16 is way premature.  As a mid-major, lose 5 or 6 games and getting in the Tourney will be tough.  So a few unlucky breaks leading to loses and even a great Billiken team doesn't get selected.  Sucks, but that is the life of a mid-major.  I'll talk Sweet 16 if they get a bid.

    If this team doesn’t get a bid, Ford will have some explaining to do
