Why no one cares about Poland vs. Portugal

This is an actual headline from globeandmail.com, Canada’s “national” newspaper, in case you wanted to know why our soccer team doesn’t feel like succeeding anytime soon. It’s actually not a bad article, and makes some valid points about why the teams involved could make this game punishingly unwatchable. But it’s wrapped up in that haughty, Greggggg Easterbrook pomposity that makes one want to drive to Temecula and have it out with the person involved. Have a read, if you dare.

Me? I’m just hoping the pretty boys find a way to score more goals.

Poland has only given up one goal so far in the tourney, and seem to play a counter-attacking style designed to lull opponents into taking long shots and then running past them with the rebound. Portugal lives & dies based on which Ronaldo shows up. If they’re smart, they send a fake reporter to bug him again, so he goes off like he did versus Hungary.

Prediction: 1-0 Portugal. Goal coming in the 30 minutes of added time.

God help us all if it goes to the shootout – it might never end.

ABOUT TIME somebody did something to spice things up!!

He shoulda kissed Ronaldo…

I’m not up on all the “overtime” rules stuff, but does the ability to dodge a wrench have any influence on the outcome?

/asking for Rip Torn

King Hippo

So…if both teams clearly just want to go to pens, why not skip the formalities?

Wakezilla

You never know when a defender is going to screw up and risk getting himself shot in his native country, resulting in a goal.

True…but this is really the Lesser Footy equivalent of a 30-minute intentional walk. At least Bob Costas isn’t here to tell us how awesome the paegentry is.

Talk about nerves. There haven’t been this many trembling Portuguese since the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.

Ronaldo’s constant missing of the ball fails remind me of that one episode where Bart kept failing at baseball despite the other team trying to let him win to get his self-esteem back, for whatever reason.

Wakezilla

Hmmm. Ronaldo is still struggling. Me things (the) Nani is going to have to pull up his Unsung hero socks to win it for Portugal.

King Hippo

I can’t take that fucker seriously because we called my maternal grandmother Nanny, and she was 91 when she kicked the bucket 6 years ago.

FUCK YOU, my kinfolk wuz mountain people.

Yes, Nanny was moderately racist, but even though she was a lifetime Republican and a teetotaling Baptist, her lat vote was FOAR Obama. “I sure ain’t votin’ for that other fella.”

If Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo are stuck together in a room, who tries to suck their own dick first?

SonOfSpam

They’d probably do a Polish 69 (where you beat off while sucking your thumb).

King Hippo

OH CHRIST, I not only laughed audibly…I fucking CACKLED. One of my 15-year olds came into the room and said “I thought you were dying”

SonOfSpam

I hope you mean you have twins, as opposed to a gaggle of 15 year olds stolen from a juvenile detention center like in all the stories I write.

King Hippo

this is true, though the latter makes for a much better back story…

...

Same here, but no cackling.

And no 15-year-olds, mine or otherwise.

King Hippo

still daylight, you got time to get some…

Wakezilla

Oh, it’s absolutely Brady

scotchnaut

“Tom, having sucked your own your dick, do you find that it has a strong citrus note at the onset, followed by a subtle vanilla aftertaste?”

-Peter King, at a later press conference

SonOfSpam

Don’t forget that Pope John Paul Ringo II was Polish. You could tell because he had consensual sex with grown women and denied reproductive rights to altar boys.

Will Ronaldo obnoxiously take off his shirt today?

Sharkbait

If by today you mean “post match with a French prostitute” then odds are pretty good

scotchnaut

“God, I hope so.”

-Millions of women and more than a few men

scotchnaut

If the Poles can’t beat ’em on the field, they’re just going to beat ’em up on the field.

Wakezilla

I like Poland’s new approach of body checking Portugal’s forwards. Still think it’s a bad idea to hit Ronaldo like that when he’s been largely ineffective so far. Why wake up and piss off a sleeping Giant and all that cliche stuff, ya know?

Beerguy Rob, how was the Calamari sandwich? Which you chose this place over Trolls? I was planning on taking Mrs. Wakezilla to Trolls this weekend, but, a Calamari sandwich sounds heavenly.

scotchnaut

If I was told that I was going to die in 5 minutes my last words would be, “Holy shit! I’ve never had a calamari sandwich”.

Wakezilla

True. But Trolls is really, really, really good.

So, which underachieving star do we think is scoring the game winner?

Lewandowski looks like he’s poised to finally scorekakke in this tournament. On the other hand, Ronaldo is getting frustrated with the obstruction he’s getting, which may cause him to go into that extra gear and take over the game.

nomonkeyfun

Mmmmmmm. Scorkakke.

I’m really impressed that Lewandowski can work at CNN and score a goal for Poland after getting fired by Trump. I mean, that’s a real winner. Fuck up enough to get kicked off a sinking ship, yet wind up on two worldwide programs.

Wakezilla

I don’t watch CNN because I don’t care for unironic satire, so, I have to ask, did those fucks really show a terrorist blowing himself up?

Sharkbait

Bourdain is the only thing I watch CNN for.

nomonkeyfun

I dont no. I don’t trust the lamestream media, like Rush Limbaugh or Hugh Hewitt. I only get my news from Breitbart and freerepublic. Those are the two gratest news sorces of all tiem. They Shud win all of the puletser prises every year.

Wakezilla

I dunno man, CNN is wrong and speculative way more than a legitimate news network should ever be.

So there are these two hills. On top of the first hill is a whore house. The guy running up the first hill, well he’s a Russian. The guy in the whore house? Himalayan. The guy running down the first hill, he’s Finnish. And the guy on the wrong hill? Polish!

I like how her expression is like “This better not end up on some loser blog.”

Also, her ass.

Wakezilla

Good thing she’s on DFO.

See, this is why the whole “England players don’t care” narrative doesn’t work. Competitiveness aside, of course they care. If Vardy does not score, he does not score with Becky.

An Italian, a Jew, and a Pole start their first day as cops.
The sergeant asks each of them “Who killed Jesus Christ?”
The Italian guy says, “The Jews.”
The Jewish guy says, “The Romans.”
The Polish guy says, “I need to think about it.”
The sergeants says, “Okay.”
The Polish cops goes home and his wife says, “How was the first day of work?”
“Pretty good,” he says, “I’m already working on a murder case.”

Which of these teams does England hate more? #Brexit

Wakezilla

With the hate crimes against the Poles rising since Brexit, it’s definitely the Poles.

SonOfSpam

A cab driver taking a Poland fan to the game had to pull over…

“Excuse me, sir, I fear my turn signal may be broken…could you step out of the car and let me know whether it’s working?”

“Yes…no…yes…no…yes…no…”

Wakezilla

What? What restaurant are you at? That sounds amazing!

I’m legitimately stunned that a seafood join in North Van would have beisbol on the TV over the Euros.

Couple of Poland fans were watching the news last night, and saw the banner headline “Frenchman wanted for rape” scroll by…one turned to the other and said, “Damn, they get all the good jobs.”

35M out? Stop shooting on net and try a set play. Or get Pepe to take the kick and lob it in there for a Ronaldo header. ANYTHING is better than what Ronaldo is doing right now.

Fronkenshteen

Every time Pepe appears on screen, I instinctively reach for a can of ant spray.

SonOfSpam

If you have that much Pepe on the screen, you should move the TV out of the bathroom.

Wakezilla

Ronaldo needs to be the MVP. Renato Sanches has to be the wildcard/spark.

You know who has to be the unsung hero for Portugal to win?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bMaS-Dq3Gk

That’s right, (the) Nani.

Hear about the plane that crashed in a Warsaw cemetery?

Polish officials have so far recovered 5000 bodies.

I will support and will financially contribute to any kick starter campaign.

Are you kidding? They got a white 6-year CAPTAIN for an outspoken black guy. Seems like the hot taekers should be thrilled!

Wakezilla

The media is sure as shit thrilled. They were blaming PK for the Habs poor performances the last two weeks of the season. . . . and he wasn’t even playing,

nomonkeyfun

I mean, yeah I like to blame the Nutmeg baron for things too, but this is a little crazy. He doesn’t even cover hockey. Of course he couldn’t help the team.

jjfozz

If they played in Wichita, it’d be an 0-0 tie. MAYBE.

Beerguyrob also predicts Brexit will result in a strong Pound.

LOOK AT MY BUM! IGNORING IT WON’T MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!

Wakezilla

This could be a really good or really bad game. There’s no inbetween. It all depends on which teams show up for both sides.

Lets hope Lewandowski and Ronaldo with help with Renato Sanches (who is finally starting!) can wake up and we get a 4-3 game. . . .

Portugal’s RB is certainly doing his part!!
