That website I discovered that has “discounted tickets” for World Cup matches is now giving some away for free. But it’s a lotto type drawing. I have entered for Spain v Saudi Arabia. Wish me luck.

 

A legit site?

 

Yeah, it’s for first responders and veterans. I qualified as a first responder and was able to register for the site.

 

Very nice! IIRC, you're an RN?

 

I was an RN in the emergency room for about 12 years. Now I’m a nurse practitioner in mental health field.

 

I hope Chris Richards is being honest when he says he's ready to play. Reading between the lines, it seems he's going to play when not 100% because it's a World Cup. That could be a bad decision long term.

 

I know that Chris Richards is not Samuel Umtiti and the USMNT are not L'Equipe, but in the end, it's hard not to think that winning the World Cup while injured > a club career, especially at your home country.

 

Oh, I definitely see why he'd do it, but it would be sad if it cost him his career.

 

Sorry to be “that guy” and post about my betting again but…

DK had some options for “winner + top goal scorer” so I threw a few bucks on two long shots that I think could happen.

France + Olise (totally just because of his last game lol)

Spain + Torres (I think he is going to be fed so many great chances)

 

Reports out of Germany linking Spurs to Guirassy. First striker I’ve seen us tied to so far this window. Price doesn’t seem too bad and I like his style of play.

 

Word is that Carrick wants to model the midfield after Enrique’s PSG, which is a team that is extremely similar to the United side Carrick himself played in. Wants to get Kobbie closer to goal and have a more fluid three in there.

Also, Ornstein says Scott in particular wants to join United. Really like the focus on guys who really want to be here and not just a mercenary looking to boost his personal profile.

 

I think I’d rather just go shopping outside of PL. There are some good CMs in the other big leagues and they’ll be half the price. Scott would be fun since he’s a Spurs fan and all that. But it’s just such a headache sorting out these inner-PL deals.

Like, we’ve been trying to sign Savinho for a year now lmao He wants the move, City never play him, we make strong offers…no movement. It’s so annoying. Just go shopping elsewhere.

 

Got a WC thread created for those interested

FIFA World Cup 2026: United States, Canada, Mexico • forum.chorus.fm

 

Real Madrid swooping in on Bernardo Silva it seems.

 

I mean if the tartan army couldn’t take down the English why would it be a threat to the all-mighty US military!
/s

 

Obviously this is pretty tongue in cheek, but the stats were also kinda intriguing as a fan of the game:

13 stats that prove the USMNT will win the 2026 World Cup

 

So we posting here or the WC thread? Currently both are going lol. Might make sense to keep this club news related?

 

WC thread

 

Senesi called up to the Argentina squad

 

two threads will take me the entire tourney to get used to

 

Not sure how I’ve only just seen this but fucking hell this is tinpot
