How do you decide which to spell with an 'i' vs 'e'?

A damn good query for which I do not have a satisfactory answer

 

[hothouse_corn]

I had to first check if the OP was also the Sumo fan, but good news, that was @dsbigred1, not @joshuahuskers.

People that even know there are strategies to soccer weird me out.

So what happened

So what happened

Shit our pants for a half. Then won. But the stench of pants shitting remains

So what happened

American muscle is what happened

I have been getting so many requests for updates for the September basho that begins this weekend! I never knew sumo would be so popular on tPB! I'll put together a preview to prime everyone. Thanks for the reminder @hothouse_corn

Did you not appreciate the tactical geniusing last night? I thought, 3 CBs, 1 fullback, 3 defensive midfielders, 2 strikers, and a left winger was the absolute right squad selection

@Baron Winnebago being a fan of soccer pretty much says all that needs to be said about how much it sucks.

 

[Jim14510]

Can we get a welfare check on @...TrueColors... ? He'd most certainly be ITT if he didn't drink bleach after the Illinois game.

I really thought Jurgen was going to lead us to greatness.

Its the epitome of good ol boys club in leadership there

He obviously needs someone to carry him through tactically. Not that international tactics are overly complex

 

[YankeesJunkie]

Still 11 games left in qualifying. 7 points would have been a lot better, but considering some of the key players missed for this set I would not read too much into an "off" set of internationals. USMNT primed and needs to execute on the offensive side to get 7 points in next set of international friendlies.

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

Next round is ripe for 9 points

 

[Ext. 55]

At the risk of being ostracized, anyone here care about soccer? We really need 3 points tonight.

First half we looked lost…second half, better. It’s gonna be up and down a bit with the youth movement. 3 points on the board.

I think Gregg is over thinking it and trying to do too much with their tactics and formation. The US is at a point with talent where they should be able to show up, play their game, and run 6 of the 7 teams in the octagonal off the field. It's not really complicated. He switched to a formation that they were comfortable with, put guys in spots that they play more naturally or in formations they're more accustomed to, and pantsed Honduras.

Overthinking it and/or working to hard to get everyone time on the field.
