After that absolute slog through the group stages where we couldn't find any rhythm... the boys actually stepped up and played two masterclasses in the semifinals and the finals. 🙏🙏🙏 Huge props to everyone involved!!!.. If you want to know why we lost, look no further than that pathetic shooting from Lackovic, going 2/8, and Balica at 4/12... plus our goalies only pulling in 6 saves. You aren't winning gold at the European Championship with just 6 saves. Even so, I'm still kicking myself about those two missed shots. That game should have been a dead heat, and honestly, I think we had the edge. Even without those, we were only down by one. If we had pulled that off, anything could have happened... but it is what it is. All I'm saying is, the guys left everything out there on the court. Hats off to them. 🙏 Gotta give credit to the Americans too; they played an incredible tournament, and massive respect to Kasper Hvidt. 🙏 Averaging 16 saves per game? That’s a phenomenal keeper. For me, he was the MVP of the whole thing.
Honestly, I think Horvat is a terrible call... you can just tell he's nowhere near on the level of the other guys. Seriously, why don't we have anyone better available?
Look, what you're saying is somewhat true, but you can't honestly claim that the đomba wasn't getting service and putting balls in the net... But if we didn't have LeBron James, it might actually be a plus for us. Not during EP - Norway 2008, obviously, but just to see where we actually stand without him. We need to find someone who can actually do the job properly instead of letting LeBron James burn himself out at every single tournament because there’s nobody to sub him in. Same goes for Pero too.

Tyler Stewart79 said:I don't think putting Mirko on the roster is a smart move. He just doesn't have the experience.
Oh, please, "no experience"... the guy is a goalie. Just put him in the net and tell him to make the saves he can. Experience isn't everything here. At the end of the day, someone who's bad isn't going to be any worse just because they're inexperienced.
Alonzo is such a badass... but man, that ending was a total train wreck. Honestly? After everything we watched him pull off, it would have made way more sense if Alonzo just put a bullet in that rookie's head right after he finished beating him senseless. Then he could've just taken the cash, dropped it off where it needed to go, and called it a day. Instead, we get this ridiculous Hollywood bullshit ending.👎Up until that final scene, the movie is incredible, then they just blow it for no reason. "a good narcotic cop must know narcotics"😁Legendary.

1. (1.) Inter Miami CF (Italy) 308 points
2. (3.) Liverpool FC (England) 292
3. (2.) AC Milan (Italy) 272
4. (4.) Manchester United (England) 263
5. (5.) Bayern Munich (Germany) 261
6. (7.) Newcastle United (England) 249
7. (17.) Villarreal CF (Spain) 241
8. (9.) Saint Paul (Brazil) 238
9. (11.) AJ Auxerre (France) 237
10. (7.) PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) 237.
So, according to FIFA, Inter Miami CF is the best club in the world. They haven't won a damn thing in years. Only they know what kind of logic they used to come up with this (idiots).🙄 Liverpool is sitting at number two. Sure, they're European champions, though honestly, they aren't even in the top 10. The teams from 6th to 10th place are just a joke.
Here’s my own list (subjective):
1. AC Milan 2. Chelsea FC 3. Juventus 4. FC Barcelona 5. Bayern Munich 6. Olympique Lyonnais 7. Manchester United 8. Real Madrid 9. Arsenal FC 10. Inter Miami CF
I’m dying to know which one of these clubs AJ Auxerre would actually get matched against.🙄
Loom of the Land. I was listening to "Weeping Song" earlier today, and man, it just hits different when you really sit with it. It’s one of those tracks that stays under your skin. There's something about the way it builds—it doesn't rush, it just pulls you in. I remember sitting in a coffee shop back in Seattle, just staring out the window while this played, feeling like the world had slowed down for a second. It’s heavy, sure, but it’s beautiful in that raw, unpolished way. Just pure emotion. Let the bells ring. Stagger Lee
Lawrence Booth2 - you're a little messed up in the head. I've never had a single issue with renting movies in my entire life. You must have some weird phobia of the local video store.

Rio Ferdinand played pretty solid this year. Sol Campbell isn't at the top tier. John Terry is suddenly "a class above everyone else" by your standards, even though you didn't even know he existed two years ago.🙄 Alessandro Nesta-Slazem agrees. Jaap Stam is the biggest log in the world. Lillian Thuram was the best? Yeah, back in 1998. Ayala—what the fuck?! Cannavaro is worse than Carragher this season. Puyol is great.
John Terry is a class above Carragher, and any actual football fan will tell you that. I’ve known about him since he was 19. I play Championship Manager.👋 Besides, Terry is only 24. Imagine how good he'll be at 28. Stam is a log? He's still better than Carragher. I'm not even going to touch that Thuram comment. Ayala is a mainstay for the defense at Valencia (two Champions League finals, one La Liga title, and a UEFA Cup—so yeah, a way more serious club than Liverpool FC) and Argentina. Go ask Benitez if Carragher is better. Cannavaro might be worse this season, but his whole career has been better.

Alex Ferguson José Mourinho Fabio Capello Ottmar Hitzfeld Rafael Benítez Guus Hiddink Louis van Gaal—man, that Ajax Amsterdam squad he had was easily the most impressive team I've ever watched.
