Snow has been coming down good the last few hours. Seems like at least 8” should be a good bet at this rate. Expand Not in Snowshoe this weekend but glad you guys are seeing the snow. 21° on my weather station but can't tell you what has fallen.

I'm sure they will be hyping the Duke-UNC rematch and can coach K get redemption from the last home loss. UNC and Kansas seemed to have the easiest path to the finals, we'll see what happens next week. I'm no fan of the teams from NC but have to admit these are the four teams that have played the best ball of the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Fantastic ass-kicking of Panama by the US last night. The only way we don't go to the World Cup is if we lose to Costa Rica by six goals or more on Wednesday...and even if we do (which we won't), we would still play a playoff against New Zealand for one final spot. Even though the 2022 World Cup is probably one cycle too early for this crop of players, when this team is fully healthy it's going to be really fun to watch. The great thing is that these guys will be in their primes come the 2026 World Cup here in the US (and Mexico and Canada)! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great day, guys Expand Getting to this a bit late, as I was up in Ohio (Cleveland area) visiting my brother and sister-in-law this past weekend for my birthday. Thank you all so much! Had a great time there. Of course, there MAY have been food and plenty of booze involved (duh, of course there was)! Including BLTs and Veuve Cliquot champagne one day for brunch! And they got snow! It snowed on and off Saturday, sometimes pretty hard. Mostly stuck to grassy areas, but maybe close to 2" total then, though it kind of melted and came back depending on when it was snowing. It then got quite cold, around 20 Saturday night and it was in the 20s all day Sunday. We got another ~4" overnight Saturday and some occasional decent snow showers during Sunday. Definitely felt wintry! It was like in the mid teens or so when I left this morning...brrrr! Here's a couple of photos from their area. First is Saturday afternoon, second one is Sunday morning: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean...there's no way this Costa Rica team scores six goals on us, let alone six unanswered goals, but that nagging concern will still be there. I'm with you though. Go down there and get three points to close it out. That would be phenomenal. You know what's crazy? The absolutely ridiculous CONCACAF yellow card accumulation rule will be applied to the playoff game with New Zealand. There are nine Costa Rica players n a yellow, so if any of them pick up another tonight then they'll be suspended for that playoff game. That's just nuts. I feel for them, but I'd be surprised if most of them start since the chances of making up that GD against us are so incredibly slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't play poorly, either. Costa Rica took advantage of that one set piece, then Zack Steffen sh*t the bed again on a claiming a free kick. I can't stress enough how frustrating it is when you have a keeper who doesn't command the box well and/or will confidently collect crosses. I think this team is built to play against teams that don't sit in a lower block - basically a team that allows a bit more space. We should see this much more in the World Cup than in qualifying, so I think we'll put on a good show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
