We don't do "thoughts and prayers" here on the greatest soccer podcast in the history of the world but we most definitely our hearts go out to those pointlessly injured and killed in the Indonesian tragedy this past weekend.  Almost unbelievable scenes out of Java, and a senseless and pointless loss of life.

And, with that in mind, keeping it all in perspective, we must soldier on to report the goings on in the rest of the football world, as difficult as it might be to do given the circumstances.  Thankfully we have our good ol' reliable Mannequin United to lift our sagging spirits.

So fucking tilted right now.  We delay the exercise in masochism for as long as we can but eventually have to pop off about the US men's national team.  Some gems in the UEFA Nations League and some hilarious international friendlies before we finally talk about Triple G and his squad.  (More like Triple X because it's so explicit[ly terrible] to watch, amirite??)

----------

TIMESTAMPS

UEFA Nations League | 1:52 - 45:47

Including:

- Plenty of Ronaldo hate (and we didn't even talk about his wittle bwoody nose WAAAAAAAHHH)

- We may or may not mention that England were relegated from Group A (and the Scots claim the spot for best footballing nation in the UK)

Friendlies | 45:47 - 1:20:39

- Brazil and Argentina are good and will probably kick everyone's asses in November

- Just call us USMNTJFCFC from now on (US Men's National Team Jesus Fucking Christ Football Club)

- At least Mexico still blows chunks

Wrap up | 1:20:39 - 1:32:28

- OGOTD and stoppage time winners

- Au revoir!

Title says it all.  Yet another uninspired, lackluster performance from the USMNT.  Still love them to death but at what point is this becoming an abusive relationship...

No timestamps needed today lol basically we talk UEFA Nations League for a bit and then cry about this pitiful game for about 20 minutes and then try to have a laugh toward the end.
