Saturday Open Thread

Midseason Doldrums Baseball, the Euro, and Copa America are the prime courses today.

The Swiss beat the Albanians already, something something hidden Nazi war gold.

The Welsh play Slovakia. Hgsdbnwwwlllyyynnnjklppppudmmmmssswwwwqqqqzzzzzzllllkjhttyyyyyppphxccccrrrrbbbbbnlllllqqqqqqqqrrrrrrrr. That’s Welsh for “a” as in the article of speech.

England plays the Ruskies. Oh look Putin replaced the team with Spetsnaz operatives.

US plays Paraguay in a game that will determine who advances to the next round.

Colombia plays Costa Rica. Cocaine! Coffee! FARC!

Enjoy the day.

I carded myself for mixing the first cocktail of the evening and IMMEDIATELY spilling it on the kitchen counter. smdh

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

And the Brits and Russians start fighting all over again in France…

JustStopDude

The TMNTS are going with an interesting strategy which seems consists of everyone crashing towards the goal and no one staying back or passing.

JustStopDude

Wait…Paraguay’s anthem is “Paraguayos, República o Muerte”?

Republic of Death?

Methinks I need to work on my Spanish…

Unsurprised

“or”

Did you ever have someone offer to do something nice for you and it just felt like a gut punch? Because that just happened to me and I don’t know what to do

JustStopDude

Yeah.

Got to watch out for Paraguay…tough team…hot fans…

So if Trump goes through to the convention, which he won’t, he’s going to have Tom Brady, Dana White, and THE BEN up on stage with him.

THE BEN is just a pathetic, inexcusable pile of human misery and I hate the fact that he’s a Pittsburgh Steeler.

Who is the athlete in your fandom sphere that causes (or caused) you the most conflict in rooting for their worthless ass?

ballsofsteelandfury

Holy shit, really? THE BEN is a fucking Trump supporter?

I can’t say I’m surprised.

/picked a good time to concentrate fandom energies on Geelong.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

It’s not at all surprising to hear he’s a Drumpf supporter. I’m just counting on CTE catching up to THE BEN at some point. All the concussions he’s sustained and the fact he decided to tackle a Chrysler with his face (we’re coming up to the 10 year anniversary of that) have to mean he’ll be drooling on himself by 47. Ugh, gross.

HARF HARF THE BEN LIKE ORANGE YELLMAN ORANGE YELLMAN MAKE USA GOODER AGAINS HARF HARF

I pretty much figured at since the age of 9 to just assume that athletes are human beings so chances are they are utter scumbags like everyone else.

Dude. Stop thinking Trump is going to quit. He’s going to fight this out, and it’s going to be beautiful in its insanity.

Sill Bimmons

We’ll see.

Running for president is easy.

Actual presidenting is hard.

Stumpy wants no part of that even happening by accident.

Dragon > Three Lions

ballsofsteelandfury

Right? That should be a hell of a game.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think that was a just result. Russia deserved better than to lose on a set play where the goalie wasn’t set.

JustStopDude

I was even okay with England winning…just because them defeating a team of old ass, Moscow league players by a single point just showed how fucking dysfunctional the England team is..

Oh but this is SOOOOOO much better!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This draw with Russia wasn’t quite as England as this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05ds1Q5vFEY), but it’s still pretty England.

JustStopDude

Is there a way to get England to play in the Copa America?

It would be like having TWO United States Teams…

King Hippo

And the fuckwads in the British media and disphit Roy Hodgson can’t scapegoat any Evertonians THIS time.

England truly is the Cleveland of world soccer.

Nah, I can think of someone else that is more the factory of Sadness.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Russia ties it up in extra time. Hot Russian hookers for those guys tonight!

King Hippo

And England have shat themselves. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

bourb0nblues

Fucking dammit.

JustStopDude

Got to love European Football fans..

Pre-match riots, flares and explosions during the fucking match…most like more riots afterward.

England is the USMNST of Europe.

Its like they have never practiced together, let alone played a real match.

I’m super depressed but have a bunch of shit to do.

You’ve just described 90% of us, 90% of the time.
Welcome to hell.

You know what grinds my gears? When you’re doing a post and when you click save after you posted a hyperlink, once the page refreshes, the link disappears and all you’re left is the damn words to describe said hyperlink.

This line is magnifique!

JustStopDude

So you think Putin is going to have the Russia starting 11 sent to Siberia if they fail out early again?

ThursdaySkyGoddess

That’s a really bad green screen effect behind Bob Ley & co.

The Open Thread seems like the place to drop this. Per Awful Announcing and NY Daily News, Mike Carey will not be back botching calls next year.

AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING

indieguy

Speaking of gawker which one of us is buying deadspin

ballsofsteelandfury

I’ll put in $10.69 of my $12 DFO share.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

We already gave AJ Daulerio some blintzes to paint our fence; based on that experience we’ve elected to avoid further involvement with the Gawker organization.

Beerguyrob

We have to find a delicate way of offering Drew a cooking segment that won’t interfere with Sunday Gravy. I don’t want my drunk uncles fighting.

laserguru

I could take Drew down.

I could take him!

Drew’s my boy.
