I finished my meetings and expected the score to be 4-0 when I turned it on near halftime. Answered a few emails then I think I stood and paced the last 30 minutes.

I really thought the CV guy was going to bury the header when he out jumped everyone at the end.

:bow: I was going to post this but decided to read some of the responses to see if it had been done yet.

Best thread ever.

That was a damn defender who made the run down the right.
Was that the sub or 11 who flew down the right with it?
Hey Baby is not the tune I expected to hear during a break in this one.

What did they say about the booing earlier? I missed it.

It’s not end to end but I don’t think it has been boring either.
I didn’t know Owen Wilson coaches Ecuador.

Not to jump ahead of the current game but Ivory Coast vs. Ecuador should be a pretty good one too right?

This thread was started on the MSB, check out the whining on the first couple pages :lol:
A. Robinson (Fulham)
Aaronson (Leeds)
Adams (Bournemouth)

Are all in the Premier League along with Richards at Palace as you mentioned. Wright with Coventry won the Championship (English second tier) this year and are promoted for next season.

Yeah the first step is to let people be indifferent to it instead of actively pushing people away, giving them reasons to say “soccer is gay burr durrr”, and giving them reasons to push their kids away from it. We would obviously still have a long way to go in terms of the system, youth development, etc. but those things would naturally start to work out over time if more people actually gave a shite about it.

I really think more people would like it if they picked a random team in Europe to follow, learned about it that way, and had no frame of reference of it from within this country.

Between that performance and the commercial with Mike Eruzione at the bar in his US Hockey jacket saying “You don’t believe in miracles?”

Baws

I can’t wait until next week.

They stopped playing after the last goal. You're telling me that he scored that goal on the very last second of the game?
If it expires in the middle of an attack they let it finish, and that’s even if they haven’t decided to add more on for things that happened in stoppage time.

Got home late, did everything I could do to avoid seeing the score, turn on the tv, and the frickin score is right on the home screen. frick you roku. frick you with a rusty spork.
Watch it. It’s still going to surprise you.
