    Do the American coaches need to study the Uzbekistanis on how to pin the Japanese? Asking for a lot of haters

    Dake!!!!

    Calm down Kyle

    Not the point of the post. Just some particular posters claiming everyone is overrated etc etc

    Yeah. He got blanked on counters. So your plan is to what? Let's hear it. Wrestle harder? Be more aggressive? What shots should he set up?
  6. PortaJohn
    So you're confirming you didn't watch their previous match

    So you're saying Jordan Burroughs is overrated?
  8. PortaJohn
    Did you not watch their previous match?

    Have always wanted to go to Japan. Every time I've talked to someone who has it's always the same impression. Astonished by the organization, discipline, focus, every other synonym you can think of. I'd imagine the Japanese wrestling team follows the same philosophy as their famed metro system

    I believe Cox was the slippery mat

    There is and there is also a counter argument to it that was so eloquently explained by Coach Beard in season 1 of Ted Lasso

    Rule #1. Don't engage with this fella. His track record on accurate analysis is close to zero

    Thought you were hitting the gym?

    Who knows. The guy who beat him at World's (Osman) didn't medal.

    How fast can we get you to Paris and in Kyle's corner?

    I don't know if anyone said 6 and was being serious but this team had a lot of hype and I was one who believed in it. I did set my over/under medal count (G/S/B) at 3.5 medals.

    I think one issue is a lot of US wrestling fans come over only during the Olympics and only have the info from the headlines they read or from social media posts. Kyle Dake is a great example. If you follow somewhat you'd know he lost to Sidakov at worlds. Sidakov is out now Dake is a lock. What a lot of these fans didn't know is at that World's he lost to Sidakov he wrestled Takatani and won by the slimmest of margins and the match could've gone the other way.

    Great post. I think it's ok to show some frustration with this particular olympic team. It's ok to question our wrestlers strategy. Question if the coaches prepared them correctly. Constructive criticism is a positive not a negative. But, like you've pointed out the vitriol and hate towards our wrestlers has been absolute garbage.

    Did I just see a cow catcher! edit: wasn't a cow catcher

    65kg is "the" weight class. Will always be hard to medal at this weight. Yianni was our hope for this weight but he's been going through a career funk

    It's a good joke. You're just weren't in on it
  22. PortaJohn
    The joke went over your head
