Pavel Bucha makes the 29 man shortlist for Czech Republic's World Cup 2026 squad

Pavel Bucha makes the 29 man shortlist for Czech Republic's World Cup 2026 squad

World cup rosters are 23-26 players, so 3 guys will still need to be cut from this list. One step closer for Pavel

Casemiro to Inter Miami

How is this possible? How in the ever loving fuck are they going to pay him? Miami’s gross payout this year will be almost $54M. Ours is $23M. This is absolute bullshit. How are we supposed to compete?

What is the strongest 11 for the Orlando match

For fun I wanna do this again, we got 3 days till the Orlando game and with a huge break for the FIFA World Cup after what is your strongest 11 for the orange and blue that you hope we see start for the Orlando match.

I’m going Right to left

For me

Gk - Roman
Cb - Charila, Miazga, Miles
Mid - Ender, Dado, Bucha, Kenji
Am - Evander
St - Denkey, Barlow

There are definitely some hot takes in the list but it’s who I think would do best for now
There are a lot of players who could realistically be changed around but I’d like to see Dado and Bucha play alongside each other in the 6 and 8 role respectively and let Ender cook on the right wing while keeping Gidi prepped to be able to go in at both CDM and CB

Forgotten CB? On loan Brian Schaefer has played all 900 possible minutes for the best USL team with the stingiest defense

With Schaefer anchoring the backline, first place Tampa Bay has conceded only 6 goals across 8 league and 2 cup matches. Previously, Brian made over 50 appearances for FCC2, earning a first team contract on January 22, 2026.

How do we fix this?

So hi everyone after a….less than perfect 3 games (2 points out of 9). Besides from the obvious fix of changing the system how do we actually fix this team??

We have been getting destroyed by aggressive pressing, our left mode defensive side seems to be completely absent, the older guys just aren’t seeming to cut it anymore. Our striker core is solid with 4 solid picks (Denkey, Mbota Dem, Barlow, and Jabari), Evander has been picking up great form and forming that chemistry with Kevin Denkey, Dado has been showing how valuable his skill set is at a 6 role, Ender and Bucha have been great on the wing but even after our main Center backs have gotten healthy again and the step up of Charila, we still seem to be super leaky and make to many Mistakes. I feel like atp the only brightside we have is Roman is still a wall in goal

What does everyone else think? Am I crazy

What did my boy Echenique do to Noonan?

I don't understand why he's not using him. I was itching for him to come in after they tied the game in the 65th min

Orlando Game

Hey All!

I was just wondering where people recommend going to get Bailey tickets? I plan on taking my 6 year old to the game Saturday and we want to sit in the Bailey and go to a kid friendly place before the game that is all about FCC. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

WAKE UP, CINCINNATI, THEN GO TAKE A NAP ITS A LATE ONE TONIGHT

today we take on the venerable Whales Vagina FC. Led by former Evander teammate Anders Dryer. Spending as much on a Chucky Lozano as all 3 of our DPs make, just to have him sit the bench

Kickoff is 9:30. Watch some Eurovision finals then tune in for a must-win

Kenji's Sprint and Score

Great pass from Evander, but even better first touch off his chest from Dado to get the sequence rolling.

Pointless reporter questions

I don't understand the point of these post-game press conferences with the coach if no one is going to ask the real questions. I get that they're probably told to limit to specific things but there's so many real questions that get unaddressed.

If Miles and Matt are on minute restrictions, why would you sub both off simultaneously at a point in the match where Miami is clearly pushing to get a goal? Why not rotate them a few minutes apart so the subs can get acclimated to game pace without changing the whole dynamic at once?

There's a recurring theme where opponents seem to be wide open for cutbacks from crosses. Is that a tactics concern or a lack composure?

What was the game plan for a player like messi, who we know is capable of wrecking games? It seemed at times that he was lost in coverage and given too much space.

While the team has been struggling for fitness in the back, have you considered moving to a 4 back system, or a deeper midfielder to add support to a vulnerable area?

How has no one asked these questions yet? With a payroll like ours, there should be some transparency about decision making when we're not performing well.
