I was watching some old footage of a certain roster transition last night, and it got me thinking about how much we over-index on "proven" veterans versus the raw potential of a player fighting for a spot in camp.

There's always that one position—usually a big one—where the coaching staff seems stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you go with the guy who has the experience and the steady hands, or do you take a gamble on the high-ceiling talent that's been grinding through training camp to prove they belong?

I’ve always been a sucker for the underdog story, the player who almost fell through the cracks but earns their way back into the rotation through sheer grit. But at this level, mistakes are so costly that I get why managers play it safe. It feels like we often miss out on the most exciting eras of a team because everyone is too afraid of a single bad outing from a newcomer.

What do you guys think? Should a team prioritize stability during a rebuilding phase, or is it better to throw the dice on a player with massive upside?

Lawrence Mitchell2, I was asking myself the exact same thing just the other day! It’s a smaller group against the Squer crowd, but man, they really bring the energy. I’m not sure... if there are about 10 of us planning to show up, and we're only 31 miles away from Chicago, I honestly don't get how people living in those buildings right by the arena, or even just in the surrounding neighborhoods, can't make it to the match. They don't even have to cheer or anything; just show up, grab a seat, watch the game, and call it a day.

It looks like donation expenses shot up while phone service costs dropped significantly, yet they’re still running at a loss😉

Membership dues revenue

Seriously, great write-up. It almost brought a tear to my eye once you actually sit down and realize just how much they ripped you off.

Honestly, the best part is that Dinamo Futsal isn't even suspended, they're just suspended!

I really need some help here.
My company has been essentially frozen in place for four years now. Every single month, I head down to the IRS office to file my sales tax forms, reporting zero revenue and zero tax. The business isn't active, but I make sure all the tax filings and statistical reports go in on time. Then, last month, I find out the hard way that I’m supposed to be filing these sales tax forms electronically through FIFA! So, my question is: do I have to submit those statistical reports electronically too, or can I just keep showing up with a thumb drive like I used to? Also, does anyone know how much a digital security token and a FIFA card actually cost? And more importantly—can I just borrow a colleague's token if he uses a Fidelity one, and just get my own FIFA card to go with it?
Can anyone walk me through the actual process or tell me what paperwork I need to hunt down to get this sorted? Thanks!
