I like this a lot. I think Mizzou will be good this year. Tons of talent on that team. It’s a good test and a nice game.

Some of this type stuff is what tells me DeVries is a vibes type coach. The way he talks and explains basketball. He’s completely Anti-Cignetti. He got blindsided by things that I and many others saw coming last season. Similarly punting roster spots 11-13 this year and hoping the freshman can step up. Some coaches you trust to know. DeVries is certainly not that for me. Hopefully that can change over the next 2 years.

Pretty rough effort in this one. Had no chance against Spain anyway.

Dominant effort by Espana. USA if lucky enough to win tonight will have their hands more than full.

I think in addition to this being right on, Painter has a good pitch to HS recruits. He can afford them. They eventually play. They usually have great success at some point. He rarely recruits over them in the transfer portal (or so it seems). I think Hill will be an interesting case because he’s that rare Purdue high level recruit, that is definitely Ranked in potential over production thus far. Everything I’ve heard on Savage has been great so far though. I think as stronger NiL programs lean on the Transfer portal, teams like Purdue can up their standards a bit and grab guys that others overlook.

Wild wild story. He was set to play for La Familia this summer in TBT.

He’s really good. Painter is recruiting better than ever. Bummer.

I thought it a bad call when it happened. Yellow, sure. The timing of the reverse is strange for sure. They should have done it the next day. Can you imagine the the behind the scenes stuff that was going on in the days between to lead to this decision? My Goodness

Lol. Yeah, should make it a barnburner

Yeah, Mexico is gonna be tough to beat with that home atmosphere. That game could be special.

France and Argentina with the easier paths for a rematch. USA with what I think might be the toughest path. Brazil vs Mexico (IF)will be incredible.

Incredible matchup and effort from Cape Verde. Sensational game. The Cape Verde player was absolutely fouled on the edge of the box in the waning minutes. I think he was outside the box and fell into the box. The broadcast never replayed the play. Social meds did and it was a blatant trip. Anyway, the better team won and it was an extremely entertaining match.

Ball did not alter trajectory at all.

You believe it grazed off the Croatian player? Zero change on ball rotation. Watched slow mo zooms from 2 different angles and the rotation didn’t change at all. just a crappy way to go out. either team is probably food for Spain and this matchup is great just hard not to feel shorted from the Croatian side.
