Of course, Hank also admittedly knows little about the game and also thought the U.S. lost that game, so it is theoretically possible that his arguments are built on faulty premises.” Totally my bad.
Hank is always several pints in.

They barely beat us in single-camera mockumentary sitcoms about an office.

The Beatles were more popular than, say, the Plasmatics. The Beatles sucked though, and the Plasmatics were better, but still.

Hank was asking about Weston McKennie, with the rainbow hair, though.

Oh. Then they are right and you are, in fact, talking about Dest.

So the entire defense sucked today, or is sports more complicated than what you said last week?

Our defense was picked apart today. The defense didn’t necessarily suck. But the Netherlands basically had three good chances, and scored on all three. Why that happened, I will leave to the sporting experts such as yourself.

Thanks for having my back my brother!

But my point isn’t so broad, I just meant we got served today but that doesn’t mean the entire midfield and defense sucked, just like the fact we tied England didn’t mean our whole defense was golden.

Can you understand that?
