Is Landon Donavon chunderrimg into a bucket?
It was completely serious, which makes it infinitely better.That has to have been them mucking about. It can't be anything other than a joke.

Crap, you're right. Sorry. The first one isn't but it is more of a taking the piss piece.That's behind a paywall but amazing if it was serious!
The year was 2002. American soccer, normally a global power, was going through one of its brief down periods, this one having begun in August of 1930. Across the nation, on at least three online message boards, all of which were administered by college students named Brad, hopes were soaring that a strong performance at the upcoming World Cup, to be co-hosted by Japan and South Korea, would restore the USMNT to its rightful position of glory abroad and massive celebrity at home. A little luck on the pitch, a little smart branding, the complete implosion of baseball in a years-long PED scandal, and who knows? Anything could happen.
How dare you. Take that back.When it comes to unintentional cringe, the Americans really are unbeatable
Feck it, any excuse to post this:

He liked a pro-Trump post during the US election, and everyone was running jokes about how Lampard misunderstood Pulisic when he said 'boss I'm right-wing'In fairness, perhaps he just can't read?
Oh I know, I'd just rather he be illiterate than a MAGA dolt to be honest.He liked a pro-Trump post during the US election, and everyone was running jokes about how Lampard misunderstood Pulisic when he said 'boss I'm right-wing'
When does Coman's deal expire? He's fantastic when healthy.Yuck. He has been linked to us recently , as a potential successor for Coman, in case he doesn't renew. Do. Not. Want.
Is that an eagle and an American flag?I mean, it's not THAT surprising...
2023. Rumors are that he is looking to double his current salary, which is supposed to be around 9m/yr. That would make upcoming negotiations... difficult, and could lead to a sale in 2022.When does Coman's deal expire? He's fantastic when healthy.
Thanks man, maybe back to P$G then.2023. Rumors are that he is looking to double his current salary, which is supposed to be around 9m/yr. That would make upcoming negotiations... difficult, and could lead to a sale in 2022.
Most migrant workers still love their countriesIs that an eagle and an American flag?
He must really love the USA. I mean, not enough to actually live there but still.
Looks like a bit of the constitution too?Is that an eagle and an American flag?

I'm always very wary about anyone who "loves their country" over a certain level (having multiple nationalistic tattoos would put you over that level).Most migrant workers still love their countries
With his injury record you could say his body feels the same way about him.I liked him before, now I hope he fails.
Makes sense now. It's only logical his body rejects those tattoos.With his injury record you could say his body feels the same way about him.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt at the time, because it was a silly 50 Cent post moaning about Biden tax rates and maybe he just likes 50 Cent.Oh I know, I'd just rather he be illiterate than a MAGA dolt to be honest.
Pre Covid he went back to Pennsylvania as much as he could. I think the truth is closer that he chooses to live away from the US to play at a higher level league than MLS. He has always been very over the top patriotic and playing on the USMNT is something he holds very high. He got Chelsea's permission to be with the team for one day while they were in Europe recently. I hope he has not hit his limit, but his body does not seem to be able to take the physical toll that any professional athlete must endure.I'm always very wary about anyone who "loves their country" over a certain level (having multiple nationalistic tattoos would put you over that level).
I'm English, it's ok I guess, I'm neither proud nor ashamed. That's the extent of my patriotism.
A millionaire like Pulisic can live wherever he wants. He chooses not to live in the USA and him getting "Rock Flag and Eagle" tattood on his forehead would not change that fact.
Robben was especially able to overcome his injuries because he managed to be world class straight after his return. He needed to match rythm whatsoever. Evem is he was out for 6 months, first game back and he was flying again.He needs to do something. I'm sure it's being looked into by experts.
Kinda getting Robben vibes. He was often injured early in his career but managed to overcome it.
Looks like coming off as a precaution was the right call? Have to say I've been impressed with Tuchel's squad management; he's been very conscious of what the physio team are telling him about injury risk clearly.Tweet

Pulisic looks like he's getting back to his best though - got fouled 11 times today and drew 3 yellows. Hopefully he can stay fit because the version of him post-restart last year was an absolutely cracking player - he also looks more comfortable in the inside forward / 10 role in our current 3-4-2-1 than Werner has done overall I'd say.

It's the first time I've seen this battling, almost warrior-like performance from him. Porto are an extremely physical team and they played like it. I was more impressed with him tonight than when he scored two at the weekend.Hope he continues to be as robust as today. Took a lot of shit.
