Might very well have been me recommending DDG on here years back.

Can't help with free email.
I've owned my own consultancy since 2003. So I pay for a POP email with my company url.
I have that too. I have garbowski.com with various email addresses, plus a college based address, etc. But all of it gets forwarded to gmail which is my clearinghouse and archive for all of it. Want to move away and do that elsewhere. There are options, and I'm willing to pay, but not sure which is best.
So you’re saying that our Concacaf rivals don’t shithouse us with field conditions? I guess we invented it then.
The federations easily spread around enough money for every country to have 2-3 decent fields.
Just to elaborate on the above: As someone who has followed the USMNT since the 1990 cycle and has endured 30 years of having this team and its supporters called every flavor of naive, sanctimonious, bullied, etc. by fans and commentators from other countries, I find the idea that we should, or even can, somehow float above it all rather amusing. Frankly, our 90s-era squads were much better at enduring this stuff, though they were far less talented than the current generation of players. And as someone who routinely played sports outside in literal sub-zero F temperatures a a kid, I find the pearl clutching about the temperature in MN also amusing.
Pretty impressive there are so many tough guys on the forum who play in sub zero temperatures.
US soccer’s own recommendations are to cancel outdoor activity at 0 WCT (Modification of activity allowing more chances to rewarm at 1-15 WCT)

Gio Reyna played less than 30 minutes before leaving the game with a new injury. Or the same hamstring maybe, but no official word that I can find. Poor kid has not had a good time of it since last summer.
Oh come on!
McKennie has been the team's most consistent player. No official word on the injury. Lots of speculation of a broken ankle.

Positive, or at least optimistic, news re Reyna:

USMNT's Reyna sets WCQ target for injury return
Giovanni Reyna said that he's "pretty positive" he'll return from injury in time to help the U.S. in the last round of World Cup qualifying.
I meant to post this after the opening MLS weekend.
I've been a proponent of giving Altidore time at Striker for the USA. He's still only 32, the 3rd leading scorer in the team's history, and Striker is the most unsettled position on the team right now. Altidore, when healthy,* is a beast to deal with. He has great holdup play and is very good in laying off for assists.**
I watched him in New England's first game, and it changed my position. He looked completely out of shape. He seemed much heavier, slower, and couldn't make the longer runs needed from an active striker. Maybe he will work himself into better shape, but he's got a long way to go before he can really contribute to the national team.
* - Admittedly, a very very big "if".
** - The best source I could find has him 4th all time for assists for the USMNT.

NGL, you had me in the first half. I was about to get my pitchfork out.
He did look completely out of shape this weekend. I wonder how the Arena Reunion Tour is going to work this year for the Revs. If they didn't have Gil, they'd be a mid-table team.
