Your “Ceausescu/Hoxha-WHO YA GOT?!” Soccer Open Thread

I know nothing about these teams-let’s just get that out there. But I do love me the soccer/football. It’s so damn hot up in The Canada right now but I’ve already got some hiking, kayaking and yard work done and now I’m done. Does beer make the pain of a good workout go away? God, I hope so. Now….LET’S GO!

I have continued to read/watch GoT reviewers defending Sansa for her nonexistent reason for letting everyone in Jon Snow’s army die other than she hopes to have power. It was the only army on the show not to have already been ruined so it was 4-6 times more than Ramseys on its own army. They sat up in protected country and were involved in no battles. I hate Sansa more if she knows this because LIttlefinger can’t be trusted and she should know better by now

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Obviously referring to the Vale army there.. I skipped a couple words that could be filled in in more than one place

rockingdog

that opening scene where she flys around on the dragons and destroys one of the ships is awesome!

Or Sansa had left after the initial parley to meet up with Baelish and expected John Snow to wait to engage Ramsey and not charge, which was the explicit plan when Sansa was last in camp.

Snow getting pissed off and charging the entire Bolton army alone was what got his army butchered.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t understand how this is better. Yes Jon Snow made a stupid mistake in battle. Rickon was not worth saving. I don’t understand how that helps explain away 6 weeks of planning where she never mentioned that army, then waited until everyone was dead to help out. She got to be in the war room to help plan the battle and she couldn’t be bothered to mention this army while complaining about how her help was ignored

Horatio Cornblower

It’s a fair point and they might touch on that next week. There’s a scene where Jon is telling Sansa they have to trust each other. Maybe she explains it then.

I’m watching it again right now. Sansa says she doesn’t know anything about battles and that they should wait until they have a bigger army but doesn’t say anything about the Vale. Maybe she didn’t hear from Baelish until the last minute.

But she does beg Jon not to do what Ramsey wants him to do, and then Jon goes and does exactly what Ramsey wanted him to do.

Anyway, happy shitting.

Not going to end the night talking politrix, so, I think I want to make a chart and make note of which beers makes my farts smell worse. I’m currently enjoying a Red Racer White Ale, but, holy shit have they made my farts smell nasssssssssty. This is unusual. So, I’d like to see which beers I enjoy that don’t make my farts smell like the one I just did 45 seconds ago.

I was feeling sick all day from what I am gonna blame on food poisoning of some sort from last night (not sure what it really was, [it was under cooked pork] I felt stabbed in my stomach all day and was puking, but unable to eat, so I drank more liquid and puked or worse all leading up to me feeling like I was gonna have a seizure) I wasn’t even watching anything until like after 9 o’clock and then it was basketball for an hour or so before I got to GoT. So I am up at 230 now as a consequence.

@Zymm and her Clinton article from earlier. I have no trust that she will fight for what she thinks is right on social issues because it is always based on poll numbers to get her elected, even more so after she got surprised by Obama last time. Her right wing piss on the poor tax strategy they allege doesn’t exist is in her platform. Also she is guilty as fuck of a felony with her server thing. I know people want to ignore it and claim propaganda but she is guilty of a serious offense and will probably be indicted. I also do just hate her personality like I do countless other politicians and because she is a woman “that is the reason I hate her”, the person I wanted the Dems to run is much more of a dick and I still wish it was her running (Warren). That being said I am still gonna vote Clinton because Trump will either ruin our economy or start a second Civil War, possibly both or something worse.

Wakezilla

It wasn’t a very good article and completely ignored many things, like her Secretary of State record. Or the fact she’s funded by a bunch of oppressive regimes that she claims she doesn’t like. Nothing says woke feminist like being an imperialist, war monger and financial and political enabler to oppressive regimes. People like the author of that article think it’s progressive Hillary supported rebel groups that used child soldiers. Just like they defended and praised the fucking Contra death squads because of #YesQueen.

I feel bad for Curry for the media turning on him. If anything, it was Draymond Green’s fault for getting suspended and Klay Thompson for letting some kid try on his shoes and magically stealing his talent. Holy christ Thompson was garbage in the finals.

Croooow

I can’t help wondering how much the pursuit for 73 wins drained them? I can imagine having to come back against the Thunder didn’t help either. They seemed to be running on fumes by the later part of the series.
I will not be hopping on the Curry hate wagon. Still a great player.

Wakezilla

My guess is going for 73 wins didn’t help, but, I feel convinced that Green getting suspended, combined with Bogut going down and Igudala playing hurt just killed them. They metaphorically let the knife off the Cavs’ throats and lost momentum.

Also, Lebron James went into full blown beast mode. Those last three games was the stuff of legend with how beastly he was. A triple double in game 7? Unreal.

Croooow

Agreed, completely.
That block from LeBron with less than two minutes to go. Epic. You’ll be seeing that highlight decades from now.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I liked the part of the game with 10 seconds left when Lebron broke his wrist. I am a terrible person though

Always the greatest gif, in my opinion. Lads, you will see this gif many times in the upcoming NFL season.

So what city do we make fun of now for having shitty teams?

LOS ANGELES

Counterpoint: The Kings and Ducks have won titles in the last ten years.
Counter-counterpoint: Fuck the Kings. The Ducks, uh… fuck ’em for not being the Mighty Ducks anymore?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We can move the hate and scorn around.

Senor Weaselo

Part of me says Toronto because the Jays had one year of being good and now they’re meh again, the Raptors are the Raptors, and the Maple Leafs bahahahaha. But on the other hand, they’re Canadian so that doesn’t seem fair. Part of me says DC because the Nats and Caps choke, the Wizards should have started kicking all sorts of ass by now, and the Redacteds are the Redacteds, but they’re not bad enough unless it involves the playoffs. Part of me says Minneapolis because the Vikings’ lack of Super Bowl, the Twins and T-Wolves are bad, and the Wild are good enough to make the playoffs but not quite good enough to make serious noise, but they’re kinda like American Canada, right?

Croooow

From what I heard, it is now Minneapolis with the longest pro sports title drought (1991 Twins).

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Hopefully it is time…. time for Cleveland to stop the ‘woe, is me’ crap.

Well this thread died, at 11:08 CST. I guess you are all rioting.

Senor Weaselo

Is that going to happen to all of us at some point? Just an RKO out of nowhere? (That is an RKO, right?)

Fucking Cleveland!?!

Just coming back on the grid. How are they handling the apocalypse in Cleveland? Joyous embracing or joyous rioting?

WCS

Yes.

WCS

Cleveland has won a professional sports title. The Fourth Seal of Hell hath been broken.

Better blow up Wrigley before we reach the End of Days.

Hillary is going to do some seriously fucked up shit and there will be people like the author who will justify it by saying “hey, nobody is perfect.”

It completely ignores her Foreign Policy that is Trump’s wet dream. It ignores in her complicity of supporting rebels that use child soldiers. This wasn’t thought provoking at all.

Wakezilla

Perhaps most importantly, the article completely ignores the fact that she portrays herself as the plucky underdog who is all about #equality both gender, racial and financial. Obviously, that’s bullshit.

Brocky

For the first time ever I dvrd the nba and I’m glad I did.

Holy shit Cleveland. That is somerng to see.

The factory of sadness is closed (at least temporarily)

I’d say “Live from Cleveland”, but that date-stamp is wrong.

One of my favorite; the video is also worth a watch.

Luckily, all those Honduran kids are going to finally get replacement t-shirts.

Thank you for this.

35 year old male passed out incoherent at the end of my block, apparently. I wonder if the people yelling at traffic will help him out? Probably no.

I was thinking blankets contaminated with smallpox, but your thing is funnier and less likely to result in criminal prosecution.

So Cleveland fans have stolen a fire truck.

Props to you Cavs fans. That’s a new one.

Impressive? I think?

I spent the evening purging my home of old papers in preparation of downsizing to a smaller abode. I still give no shits about the NBA and remain comfortable in my decision.

/shakes fist angrily at cloud

//also fuck the Small Bears, their curse is still valid

Doktor Zymm

Well, all the people at the Cubs game right now are going to have to make it through the post-Pride riots in order to get home, so that’s pretty shitty for them.

King Hippo

Small Bears meet large Bears ,, no ofence

Does this mean the Cuyahoga will be celebratedly set ablaze ala West Virginia and couches?

Doktor Zymm

Music is done, crowd shouting has begun. I actually kind of envy Cleveland. They’re having much more pleasant riots than here.
