Chapter 188 Spoilers
I’m late and I know it, so I’ll just get straight to the point.
Tumblr media
So, chapter 188 opens with the face off between Kunigami and Agi and I feel like I gotta say, besides the 2 goals he’s managed to score so far, Kunigami hasn’t really shown a lot of progress during matches, in my pov; does anyone else also feel the same?
On another note, I’m happy to see Agi acknowledging Isagi though.
Tumblr media
Then, Isagi is reminded of the match up between Noa and Lavinho, but this time, he is much better prepared and far more capable of reading the flow of the match, so that he can correctly discern his next move. He sees what Agi intends to do and he plans to steal the ball from him, as he tries to move past Kunigami.
Tumblr media
Too bad he’s not the only one who’s had that idea.
Kaiser thought of the very same thing and because of that, the English team still has possession of the ball, as neither one of them could gain control of it during their scuffle.
Also, SOMEONE BETTER TELL KAISER TO KEEP HIS HANDS TO HIMSLEF, I’M DEAD SERIOUS HERE!!!
Tumblr media
Then, we can see that the ball that Isagi/ Kaiser were supposed to get, is now in Reo’s possession, who is determined to prove the worth of his and Nagi’s combo.
And Nagi remarks that he can clearly see the image of Reo’s goal. This reminds me of their teamwork from the past, when Reo was the one with a vision that he entrusted to Nagi.
I wonder if things will be different now.
Tumblr media
As we can see here though, that isn’t what the doctor, or the coach, prescribed.
Bastard Munchen may be slightly surprised by what Reo is doing on the field, but Agi clearly disagrees, as he sees that Nagi is moving according to Reo’s ideals, instead of developing his own creativity, like Chris had instructed them to do.
I have to say, at this point in time, I agree with Agi; it’s not like Reo and Nagi are always going to play together and unless they can become the best versions of themselves without relying on the other, I don’t think they’ll get far.
Still, this is Blue Lock and what matters are results, so let’s see whether there is indeed more than meets the eye to this combo, this time.
Let’s see if they will be able to score.
Because so far, all I see is a Reo who’s ecstatic to have been told by Nagi that he needs him.
All I can say is that that should have been an “I want you”, not an “I need you.”, in my humble pov.
Tumblr media
Really can’t get how Nagi seems so happy here to put his all into support for Nagi, his new chameleon style and his flow, just so he can become an extension of him.
It may work or it may not; unlike their previous combo, this one seems more centered on providing use and opportunities for Nagi, kind of like what Isagi and Rin had, in the match against the former U-20, maybe.
Tumblr media
Now, it’s only a matter of whether they’ll both be able to live with their choice, no matter the outcome.

Checking in on aftermath of FC Dallas-Colorado Rapids' Acosta-Badji trade
USA Today Images
October 25, 20184:05PM EDT
In July, FC Dallas sent Homegrown midfielder Kellyn Acosta to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for striker Dominique Badji. There were other parts in the deal, including an international roster spot, swapping first round picks, a second round pick to Colorado and a 50/50 split on any international transfer fee through 2020.
Most assumed Acosta was going to leave Dallas one of these years, but the destination was much closer than anticipated. One of the US national team’s hottest prospects, most figured Acosta would be the subject of a multimillion-dollar transfer to Europe. But that hasn’t happened. To Colorado it’d be to reignite his MLS career. 
When the trade went down, MLSsoccer.com columnist Bobby Warshaw wrote that the trade could fall into the rare win-win-win-win category. Dallas could get an important piece for the immediate playoff future; Colorado gets potentially the face of a franchise; Badji gets a team that creates more chances; Acosta gets a fresh start.
“Badji moves to a team that fits his talents, Acosta gets a chance to show his full range of skills, Colorado get one of the most talented players in the league, Dallas get a player – maybe two, in the end – that meets their needs,” Warshaw wrote in the immediate aftermath of the deal. “None of it is a lock-down guarantee, but it’s a trade in which everyone could be better off.”
Just a few months later, as the two sides prepare to meet for the first time since the deal on Decision Day presented by AT&T, what can we make of the trade now?
Since the trade, both players started fine but haven’t been setting the league on fire. Acosta has started 11 games, adding two goals and two assists, though all of his goal involvements came within his first three appearances with his new club. Badji has scored two goals in nine games (eight starts), but hasn’t hit the back of the net since Aug. 29. 
For the Rapids, the trade was made more with the future in mind. What Acosta does this season for a team that was far below the playoff line when he joined wasn’t the point and can’t be judged too harshly on wins and losses. He has re-entered the picture for the US national team, though. 
Meanwhile, Badji fits FCD’s counter-attacking style as a striker better than others have. He hasn’t seamlessly acclimated to the team, but helping the team earn a first-round bye this weekend would be a good start ahead of the playoff run. He will return to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for the first time in anything other than claret-and-blue this weekend but isn’t too interested in romanticizing the return.
“Honestly, I just want to win,” Badji said in training this week. “Before the game it’s going to be nice to see some of my old teammates, my old fans. But once the whistle blows, there are no friends on the field. I’m just looking forward to getting that win and getting that bye.”
Acosta, meanwhile, is looking forward to facing his old team. 
“Obviously playing against my old team is going to be a special moment for me, it’s going to be kind of weird and a little awkward in a sense,” Acosta said in training, in the video above. “I’m definitely looking forward to it.”
But it’s not all friendly feelings: Acosta wants to be a spoiler and bump FCD into the Knockout Round.
“We want to spoil their chances to get that first-round bye,” Acosta said.” It’s going to be a huge game for both teams.”

Mercury Cougar History from 1967-1970
by David Ashton
The Mercury Cougar 1967-1970 is arguably one of the unsung heroes from the muscle car days and even with a brief hiatus from 1997 to 1999 and it’s last years as a generic car, the original generation is still a standout vehicle and a worthy purchase in the muscle car world.
First generation from 1967 to 1970 Released on September 30, 1966 , the first Cougar had a definitive lock with a new sheet metal outside and distinctive electric shaver grille, license plate surrounds, concealed rear taillights taken from the Thunderbird. The styling was meant to imply a more European theme according to American tastes at the time.
1967 Mercury Cougar Although the Mercury Cougar had still quite a sizeable engine up to 1979 in its fourth generation, it was the first generation which seem to get it right. Seen as bigger version of the Ford Mustang with a 3 inch longer wheelbase, the Mercury Cougar was a more luxurious vehicle. The two models available were the base and the XR-7 with the GT option.
Engines were available from a 289cu.(4.7L) up to a mighty 427cu.(7L) V8. The XR-7 package included a simulated wood dash, wood-rimmed steering wheel, black competition instruments, overhead console, leather-covered T-type handle transmission shifter, with leather vinyl seating.
The vacuum canister powered covered headlights were only available for this generation
The other package available was the GT which added an additional $323 to the price. This included a 390 cu./335HP FE series V8 engine with firmer, upgraded suspension with solid rear brushings and stiffer springs incorporating a hook and eye joint, upgraded power front disc brakes, low restriction exhaust system, 8.95 × 14 Wide Oval tires, 0.84 inch anti roll bar.
The FE series V8 engine had a mild cam with street type valve timing, hydraulic lifters, Holley C70F carb. and a 10.5:1 compression ratio. This was coupled to either a three or four speed manual transmission or a three speed Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission with manual shift for downshifting to second gear below the 70 mph range of office gear below 20 mph range. The GT itself came with a manual transmission and 3.00:1 or optional 3.25:1 ‘Power Transfer’ rear end.
As a more luxurious version of the Mustang, the Cougar won Motor Trends car of the year in 1967.
Factory exterior colors included: Onyx Madras Blue Diamond Blue Glacier Blue Caribbean Blue Wellington Blue Nordic Blue Sea Foam Green Augusta Green Lime Frost Grecian Gold Fawn Saxony Black Cherry Cardinal Red Polar White
Factory interior colors included: Aqua Black Light Ivy Gold Parchment Saddle Light Blue Dark Red Nugget Gold Dark Blue Dark Ivy Gold
Production numbers for this year were 116,620 standard hard tops, 27,221 XR-7 hard tops and 7,412 bench seat versions.
1968 Mercury Cougar 1968 saw the Mercury include federally made side marker lights and shoulder belts. Three extra engines are added to the lineup, which included a 302 cu. , 428 cu. and a 427 cu. V8, all with four barrel carbs. A 289cu. engine was the standard on base models. The ’68 model also includes an electric sunroof and tilt away steering wheel.
The 428 Cobra Jet was good for 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and could do the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 103mph.
XR7-G The other performance package came in the form of the XR7-G made for Dan Gurney, with only 619, produced, 188 Hertz editions and only 14 with the 428 CJ engine and 85 XR7-G’s wih a 302 cu., 146 with a 302cu./235hp and only 14 with a 428-cu./335hp Cobra Jet V8 4.13 x 3.98-inch bore and stroke, 4 barrel carb. and a dual exhaust system. Options included a fiber glass hood scoop, sunroof, racing mirrors, hood pins, FR70-14 tires, four exhaust tips and ‘G’ Cougar emblems and badging on the instrument panel, grille, deck lid and the roof pillar. Check this link for a full rundown of the XR7-G options. This option cost $666.95.
GT-E package This package was available on the base car and the XR-7 with a total of 394 being produced in this year. The 428cu. replaced the fourth to 7 with an official 335hp, but more like 390 bhp.
Production numbers for this year were Convertibles 5,796, XR-7 2D Hardtop 23,918 and XR-7 Convertibles 4,024 and the total for all variations 113,720.
1969 Mercury Cougar A convertible was available for the base model or the XR-7 this year being now very collectable. the Grill now had horizontal bars rather than vertical with concave taillights. body styling included a very cool sweep from the nose to the rear wheel well.
Performance packages for this year included the Eliminator Equipment Package for $129.60 centered around a Windsor 351cu./290 bhp V8 engine, optional 302cu. 290HP V8 and a 428 Cobra Jet with a choice of Ram Air and performance rear end 3.50:1.
Extras for the package included a high back bucket seats, F70x14 inch Goodyear Polyglas tires with blank centre caps, unique dash and tach. with trip odometer and Rallye clock, 4.30:1 Detroit locker, front spoiler and rear wing, hood scoop which was functional, with the Ram Air option, blacked out grille, remote-control left-side mirror. The 428 Cobra Jet option had stiffer suspension, better antiroll bar and on manual transmission versions the left rear shock us move to behind the axle to counter hard acceleration. A 428 Cobra Jet could do 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and the quarter-mile and 14.1 seconds at 103 mph. Only 2,250 Eliminators were produced this year, 4,024 XR-7 Convertbiles, 5,796 Standard Convertible, 1,615 Bench-seat hardtops, 23,918 XR-7 Hardtops and Standard Hardtops.
Engines for this year included the standard 351ci./250 hp , 351ci – 4V/290 hp, 390ci./320 hp V8, CJ 428ci./335hp (optional Ram Air) and Boss 302/290 hp. These are available in 3 speed manual, 4 speed manual and Auto (Merc-O-Matic) transmissions.
Two very rare Cougars were built for ‘Fast Eddie’ Schartman and ‘Dyno’ Don Nicholson with a Boss 429 V8, both being possible of the rarest Cougars around.
A Cougar Sports Special was available this year with unique features such as pin striping, distinctive turbine style wheel covers, side scoops and rocker panel moldings. the same interior and performance options are available apart from the Boss 302 engine. As no exterior badging gave the Sports Special away, it’s down to the experts to spot one of these beauties.
Factory exterior colors included: Black Maroon Dark Ivy Green Pastel Gray Light Aqua Dark Aqua Light Green Medium Lime Dark Orchid White Medium Blue Medium Gold Red Yellow Dark Blue Burnt Orange Light Ivy Yellow Competition Orange Medium Green Bright Blue Light Blue Yellow (Spring Cougar Color)
Factory interior colors included: Aqua Black Ivy Gold Parchment Saddle Dark Red Dark Blue Dark Ivy Gold White Blue Red
1970 Mercury Cougar The 1970 model carried on from the 1969 version, but with a more protruding center hood extension and a grill which is more like 6768 versions. blocking steering columns appeared as with taillight bezels, high-backed bucket seats, front bumper and front fender extensions.
The Eliminator performance package was still available this year with much more bold graphics and a black hood scoop. You also got independent ball joints and coil springs, longitudinal leaf springs, gear ratio of 3.25:1, single lower control arm and upper A-type arm for better handling. for this year, the eliminator was also available in six colors which included speciality colors and Pastel Blue, Competition blue, Competition gold, Competition yellow, Competition green and Competition orange. 2,267 Eliminators were made in this year with no convertibles made.
The 351cu./300 hp four-barrel carb. ‘Cleveland’ V8 was available this year, along with the two barrel Windsor engine for the base model. The Standard 351ci., 351ci – 4V, Boss 302 and a 428 CJ.
The interior was treated to new upholstery which included a houndstooth check pattern, Black Comfort Weave, white Comfort Weave and Blue Comfort Weave along with the standard interiors.
Production this year saw 49,479 standard hard tops, 18,565 XR-7 Hardtops, 2,322 Standard Convertibles, 1,977 XR-7 Convertibles.
By 1971, the Mercury Cougar was completely restyled and re-designed for its second-generation, doing away with its muscle car roots and going for a complete luxury car styling. The car continued on through eight generations up until 2002. However, it was the first generation that produced the most legendary Cougars and models can still be found in very good condition for a reasonable price compared to their other muscle car counterparts. This won’t last for long, so if you are in the market for a fantastic muscle car you may want to consider a Mercury Cougar.
For example, here is a 1968 Mercury Cougar Dan Gurney Special going for $25,000, with only 32,000 miles on the clock in excellent condition as of 2.6.17.

For example, here is a 1968 Mercury Cougar Dan Gurney Special going for $25,000, with only 32,000 miles on the clock in excellent condition as of 2.6.17.
