    Perfect breakdown of a failed system in which I have a gradaughter participating at great expense ($).

    Well aware of this, one of our grandaughters plays high school and travel soccer. Very expensive. Also two grandsons in travel hockey. Even more expensive. Unfortunately that this is so prevalent, and it deters many young people from playing with the prohibitive costs that include travel...

    I think in Gibson's case it was the opportunity to reclassify and enroll next month. That may not have been an option at PSU. Reclassifying allows him to begin receiving NIL a year earlier.

    Sure hope this young man gets in the rotation this season on the DL.

    No, not as consequential given this team was not going to play for a World Cup.

    Read above. He reclassified to 2026 and enrolls in August. He might have the opportunity to play this season at Rutgers. That wouldn't happen at PSU this season with Hansen, Peoples, Martin, and Wallace ahead of him.

    Well, staff will have to find another RB with his size and skillset. Recruiting is no longer stable. Nothing is sure until a player signs, even then, they might decide its time to move on.

    I'm disappointed in the passing ability and ability to win one-on-ones offensively and defensively. Kept getting beat for open crosses and then trouble marking up and positioning in the box. Must have much better goalie play.

    I expect he will. This team needs better futbol players but I have no idea if they are coming up through any systems. Pulisic's play was very disappointing in the whole series of games. Maybe he was just never healthy? Balogun, Tillman, and perhaps Richard's remain as future contributors...

    Very thorough summation. Exactly what I'd expect from you because of your indepth knowledge of the sport.

    I think Cape Vetde was an excellent team and they didn't play scared. The U.S. looked tentative from the start of this match. It was evident in their passing and continually being beaten to the ball in the middle of the pitch.

    But, Spain plays continuos ball control and carefully picks their spots. They have the skill to do that. Their defense can close fast and rarely is out of position.
