There’s now a county-wide precautionary boil order in Monroe County. I first heard about this order from IU. Still haven’t received any notice from the company that provides my water.

It’s frustrating to watch. But, 1) there’s no goal scorers in today’s squad (Salah, Ekitike, Isak) and big players from last season gone (Diaz, Nunez, Jota, TAA), who would step up. Also, 2) the hustle is not there and VVD fell asleep on defending Sesko on that second goal.
