    World Cup

    Not really a weird narrative. They are a relatively a newcomer to this status. The previous World Cup, they parked the bus and prayed for penalty kicks. That how they beat Spain. That’s not top 10 makeup. This time around they are for real. But you just don’t think of them because they...

    World Cup

    Morocco’s World Cup comes to an end when they play France. It’s fun to watch some of the underdogs do well. But in the end, I want ( and I think the world wants) a blockbuster Final Four with Spain v France and Argentina v Brazil/England.

    World Cup

    Cape Verde was clearly the team of the tournament. Put Argentina in to OT and scored two goals against the reigning champs. They played their hearts out today and almost took the game into PKs. I knew Cape Verde was fast and athletic when I saw them against Spain but they didn’t show...

    Knockout round

    I was at SoFi Stadium for the Spain V Austria match. Finally, we had a team that didn’t park the bus against Spain. Not surprisingly, Spain had its best game. Lamine Yamal is slowly rounding into shape. Dani Olmo starting makes a lot of difference in the fluidity of the offense. Cucurella...

    Knockout round

    I get it. I just don’t like the games. Parking the bus is boring. It’s the only strategy for Paraguay but this is the problem with expanding the field in the first place. Too many teams parking the bus.

    Knockout round

    I thought the foul on German was the correct call. You can’t wrap your arms around the goalie. But I am not liking the strategies of these teams parking the bus defensively in order to go to PKs. I want to see the top 10 teams in the World battle it out and play real soccer.

    World Cup

    Shocking day of soccer as both Germany and the Netherlands go down today. Whats more shocking is that the Dutch were dominated in possession by Morroco. I didn’t see that coming. Morroco deserved the win but just shocked how the Dutch played. Germany on the other hand was clearly the better...

    World Cup

    I saw Spain play for the third game against Uruguay. This is not the Spain team we expected. Clearly, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Rodri are not fully fit. Probably at 75%. Spain is lacking that speed on the wings that led to direct attacks and opened up the middle of the pitch. Moreover...

    World Cup

    Typical France game. It actually got outplayed the entire first half and lucky no goals were scored against them. Then, France’s lightening strikes and they win easily in the second half. All that talent and they do not dominate the match. But almost always pulls out a win. Messi’s hat...

    World Cup

    Spain’s coach was way too slow subbing in lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams. Poor job by Spain allowing a tie. Btw, Atlanta is doing an amazing job with the World Cup.

    World Cup

    It was what you wanted to see from the US. They took care of business and looked good. But the competition wasn’t great. The US is in a weak group and a Gould come out on top.

    World Cup

    I root for the US but I am not a fan of their style of play. When I watch the US play against good teams I just get frustrated. So I get what you mean. I’d rather watch the top tier teams play beautiful soccer. To me, when it is played the right way, it’s just a phenomenal game.

    World Cup

    The greatest World spectacle begins today. Should be a great tournament. I expect the US to advance to the knockout stage and maybe even win one game at that stage. Spain and France are the clear favorites for this year. But beware of Portugal and the Netherlands. Both can surprise and make...

    Seton Hall TBT

    Ah we long to watch real Seton Hall players like Whitehead and Carrington.

    Is Seton Hall better off with yearly free agency?

    If I can expand on Section112, from a fan of the program who has attended 90% of the home games since I was a freshman in 1985, this era sucks. I gave up my season tix last year because I knew what this program would become. A constant change over of players and we become a feeder program...
