The Timberwolves are clearly a better team than the Lakers, debunking the idea that the Lakers were the Nuggets' toughest matchup.

Sadly, we have to put to bed the narrative that the Lakers gave the nuggets the best matchup. I think we can officially say... Turns out the timberwolves is a little bit better than the Lakers as a basketball team. I never thought the Lakers were the second best team in the NBA. Only behind the Denver Nuggets.

The Timberwolves pushed the Nuggets to 7 games and won the series, whereas the Lakers lost in 5. Minnesota proved to be a much tougher out.

The Michael Jordan comparisons for Anthony Edwards are not forced or crazy

He's an absolute killer. And people are throwing around the [Michael Jordan] comparison and like, it's not, it doesn't feel forced. It's not crazy.

While comparing a 22-year-old to Jordan is high praise, it remains a subjective matter of playstyle and trajectory.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
