Milan vs Roma is more fodder for the anti-VAR crowd.

Both PKs. Like are you kidding me? How can VAR let those slide

I think VAR is a good idea. But I’m under the belief that the officials should only be able to watch the replays in real time. All of the super slow mo completely changes what really happened.

Like when they watch for a handball. Watching a guys arm move at 1/10th real speed. You need to look at this stuff in normal speed. It absolutely changes what the reality of the situation is

Also, the offside crap. It’s crazy. Alvaro Morata got an amazing chip ruled off because his fingertip was beyond the defender. It has to be your shoulders or something to be ruled offside. It’s just not in the right spirit of the game

Everton and Villa: WERE UNSTOPABLE!

Looks like it's going to be a costly victory, unfortunately.

Injuries happen... I guess we’ll see how serious they are. In any case Ralph has us playing exciting football again. Love it.

TIL Sergiño Dest plays for USMNT.

For real? Him choosing the US over Netherlands last year was a big deal.

Pretty sure this is the first call for de la Fuente. Nice to see all of the youth. Shame Berhalter still sucks.

Expanding on this USMNT roster which won't matter as long as Berhalter is still around... lots of skill, talent, and youth in skill positions, but the CBs. Lots of guys who haven't decided on their NT allegiance on this roster. Gioacchini can play for the US, Italy, and Jamaica. Johnny Cardoso is Brazilian (but is unlikely to ever be good enough to play for their national team). Ledezma can still opt for Mexico. Finally, Musah, who is pretty damn good, has spent his youth international career representing England and can also play for Italy and Ghana.
