Lack of understanding of the concept of a 'cutoff man' , covering first (or any base for that matter, catching the ball.......hell, injuring your shoulder on a...

    "They create rules to not let real football grow just to allow their national sports to have a spotlight" such as? In the USA they have been trying to grow the popularity of soccer/football for going on 50 years (see NY Cosmos signing Pele) and it is still not popular at all. Baseball gone...

    Robbie comes across as a real jovial guy, easy to like. Seems like he would be fun to work with.

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024: First rest day thread

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024: First rest day thread

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 9: Motril - Granada, 179.2k

    Hard to tell if the issue with Kuss is partially lingering effects of Covid (even in stage 3 in Burgos he didn't look as strong as I would expect - he seemed to be laboring a lot on that final climb) or that everyone on the team is crap. His team looks Conti caliber at best .
