The Bonk

Yo, find a cheeky Fox Sports stream and you’ll be convulsing.

Had them at their best, no?

I feel like Klinsmann was the last manager to get the USMNT somewhat decent. Been downhill ever since. The only positive has been Scouse @Mike’s faux heel turn towards other nations. I AM HERE FOR IT!

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5619544/2024/07/05/canada-venezuela-copa-america-penalty-shootout/ Even our win is about how terrible the US Team was.

thought we were losing on penalties after having the better chances all match. We have no chance against Argentina, but to get this far is amazing.

There hasn't been a 45min as electric as that was in COPA or the Euro, that was end to end and fucking intense. David should have scored, Larin maybe too. Marsch has these lads up for it, he's perfect for this team.

He's not been as horrific as most CONMEBOL ref's, aye. We need to adjust and play as physical as Venezuela has if he's letting them go at it. Which we started to do late in the half.

This fucking ref man, he's an absolute terrorist. The spice in this game is fucking awesome.

This game is insane, we should be up 3-0.

That's a horrific miss from David.

HOW!!!!!!

FUCKKKKK!!!! We almost had 2!

Yes, fresh off the Neesy press . I don’t pay attention to Portugal’s coaching selections, forgive me, sir!

that’s amazing. Make the correct decision and get sacked.

If he keeps his mouth shut, he’d probably do quite well with Burnley.

Wirtz bodied him.

@gazza ladra feel like Eddie was protecting Hall and letting him work his way into the squad and starting line up. Look how good the lad was when he had Howe’s full support, trust and confidence. Mitchell seems to have a similar philosophy, so I trust them both completely until there’s reason not to.

It was Ashworth’s body language (yes, I know it’s a reach) and general demeanour that didn’t feel quite a fit to me. He literally couldn’t wait to leave as soon as Ratcliffe came calling. Eddie didn’t deflect or go out of his way to defend Ashworth. The working relationship felt very “you do you and I will do me”, whereas Mitchell and Eddie both had short careers, but are workaholics obsessed with the game and progressing their knowledge, ability, etc. I honestly think we got our guy and Man United got theirs at the end of the day. Ashworth suits them cunts and Ratcliffe, while I personally feel Mitchell is a better fit for us. Time will obviously tell, but I can’t wait to see what our northern scruff does for us.

While I was obviously quite pleased that we hired Ashworth to sort out the mess our previous ownership left us in, he didn't strike me as someone who was culturally suited to the club. I know it's cliche to trot out the differences between Southern and Northern England, but he gave off the impression in some video footage of awkwardness and that he was off on his own. It was also apparent that Eddie didn't think much of The Constant Gardner and I'm sure had his input to the hire of Mitchell. Mitchell's career from hard grafting pro to working his way up the ranks domestically feels more Newcastle to me. Even the clip of him, the guy screams northerner with that scruffy beard. Anyways, excited to have him on board and to see what impact he can provide over the summer and into the start of the season.

Nothing was panicked and our media knew nothing other than what they've obviously exaggerated or fabricated entirely. You are spot on. If this was still Ashley, I'd be inclined to believe more of what our media have to say. They get spoon fed whatever the club want to strategically leak to the press and good, that's the way it should be.

True. They are great on the counter, play some exciting stuff. Love these types of games, so insane, end to end like that is beautiful.

best game of the tournament.

Anything above 15 is more than fair in my books.
