Makes sense. Martin County's best player, Braxton Keathley, a three-star with offers from Bowling Green and Ohio University, has enrolled at Prolific Prep in Florida so I'm guessing the Cardinals won't be nearly as strong as expected earlier.

A buddy and I were going back and forth via text about the same thing throughout the second half yesterday. England never had the ball, then the keeper would make a great save, and immediately kick it 70 yards down the field, only to have to stop Argentina again. It was like punting on first down.

Along with the Falklands in 1982, factor in Maradona’s Hand of God and full pitch run to goal in 1986. So much history and dislike between the two. Speaking of the 1986 game, there appears to be a great documentary either out or coming soon. Here’s the trailer.

The dead period ended five days ago and nowhere on the front page of the KHSAA website is there a link to a scoreboard. In the News & Notes, there's no update on a potential scoreboard. In the Athletic Department Reminders there is no mention of updating schedules and scores. If you've said repeatedly since January that there would be a replacement coming, it is complete incompetence to not have a "coming soon" link and an update in the news section. I've worried all along that they would just wing it and here we are one month before games start and nothing is showing for the casual fan.

Starting to get a little concerned...

Tier 6 looking like what might come up if you pulled the level on a slot machine!

BREAK DOWN!

I do get annoyed at the catastrophic injuries! My son and I were talking during a match the other day about the amount of running during a game. Sport science surveys says most high level soccer players run 6-8 miles per match, which is a lot. I decide that if I ran 6 miles and you came up and kicked my shin, I'd probably lay down and wallow for a minute myself!

Been reading this off and on for the last couple of months in the buildup to the World Cup. @theguru, when I mentioned in another thread about the corrupt nature of FIFA, this book descibes it well, while also pointing out that they are really good at running tournaments, which is probably more important than anything else to the fans.

Paraguay, Australia, Turkey, and Bosnia aren’t top twenty teams. Belgium is top ten. US probably closer to 20 than 10 and it shows right now.

The absolute sleaziest organization in the world. If you read up on it, it’s almost cartoon level corruption!

I guess their argument is we’ve spent four days preparing for one team since there’s no precedent for this type of decision and now it will be a totally different unit. It shouldn’t have been a red to begin with, and I have no idea why there’s no formal method of appeal for a red card, but waiting four days and then making an announcement the night before is awfully shady on FIFA’s part.

People suspected of crimes such as this are usually under investigation for some time. These investigations usually have far reaching tentacles. Making an announcement or report could affect the investigation (and perhaps information from accused that are talking). I’m not saying they knew anything but it’s also naive to think Kriisa was arrested just out of the blue yesterday.

Several times at the end of the 2024-25 season, when discussing players transferring and returning, KSR was quite adament that Kriisa wouldn't be back at UK. I wonder if they knew something, even then?

Intense from the get-go. Great match. I'm with you VOR, Pickford has to be Man of the Match for his play in goal for England.

If you’ve had a disclaimer atop the current scoreboard since January saying it was shutting down June 30 and you’ve said at BOC meetings and on social media that there will be a replacement, then you probably should have a replacement or at least a statement saying when the next scoreboard will be available.

I watched the movie and didn't love it.

Sorsby may be up a creek for right now. No league in the world allows gambling on their team. The cynic in me thinks Texas Tech only caused such a stink because they'd paid him a fortune in NIL and they probably don't think they can be successful without him. I'd like to see Sorsby go back to Texas Tech University and be a student for a year and get the help he supposedly needs so badly without the distraction of football. Be interesting to see where the support from Texas Tech is if it's all give and no get on their end.

I recently watched this video on PBS the other day. Does a good job of explaining why tornado alley is moving but also how it will be much more dangerous.
