Great shift from our guy, too!

The fact that Mark can't understand this is really disappointing from someone who a previous (younger, much less educated) version of myself would have wanted to run for president.

It wouldn't have mattered anyway:

Alex, Jackson, and Albert are all very reliable penalty takers, so I don't think he's letting the players decide the order, but I would be curious for someone to ask him that!

I don't think it was necessarily a bad coaching call. Brian sees them take penalties in training and makes decisions based on that. JMo missed a pen as recently as two weeks ago. I'm sure his decisions can be justified. I just don't think CR7 should be in the first five.

Isn't he like 3 for 7 in his career (including national team)?

I would definitely get behind a first to five points model!

I think in the same vein, we need to have a convo about Cristian being a first five penalty taker. Far and away my favorite player to ever suit up for this club. His history from the spot has not been too kind.

First to 5 meaning first to 5 points?

A part of me thinks he should get Saturday off, though I wonder if he's gonna be riding the high of tonight into NYC.

I don't think he feels better than Bob
