Goal of the Tourney

Can we mostly agree to disagree with both the boys' goals? Alvarez goal was spectacular, but I'd wager most people prefer the Cabral goal for both the angle (closer, but much tighter than Alvarez) and the moment (Alvarez winner against what should be an inferior team is amazing, but Cape Verde equalizing in extra time with the world champs is a way better story).

As for the Just goal, while I think Andrew was insanely dismissive of what was a really good goal, JJ has some serious tunnel vision around this goal.

I think in terms of immortal moments combined with pure aesthetic, it has to be the Cabral goal.

That said, it's impossible to remember them all, so drop in your favorites so we can relive them!

Your Henderson-Cambiaso nominees

Who ya got?

I'm going for Xhaka. Like the Dude's rug, he really tied everything together for Sunderland. And when he wasn't available towards the end of the season, the drop-off was clear. They don't make Europe without him and maybe even are looking over their shoulder at relegation.

Ready to see the back of Poch

I knew he was only going to stay this cycle, but god it's such a horrible look to be talking to Milan on the doorstep of the World Cup in the same week it was revealed the players got rejection emails and confirmation via pre-recorded video messages.

Now it could all just be optics and not a reflection of how things are behind the scenes, but it just gives the impression that he can't really be bothered. And that's on the back of the dismissive attitudes toward the press, the mixed results, etc. He doesn't have enough cache to be getting away with this stuff, but it also feels like he doesn't care if he does or not.

I had major issues with Berhalter going way back, but he never gave me the feeling he wasn't at least trying his best (even if I didn't feel like that was good enough for us).

I'm looking for a sitter for my 6yo for a couple hours on Wednesday, but the sites like care.com charge nearly 40 bucks just to message with sitters, which is insane for a one-time scenario. Anyone have recs on a cheaper way to find local sitters?
