Yes, today the only game that matters is the Copa Del Rey. It pits La Liga leader Barcelona against 7th place Sevilla at the new home of Atlético Madrid, the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on the east side of Madrid. It’s a very nice stadium. We drove by it last year.
As for the game, this will be Andrés Iniesta’s last Copa Del Rey as he is set to join Chinese club Chongqing Dangdai Lifan this summer. For those of you not fluent in Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese), that is loosely translated as Chongqing Givya Money.
This is where Chongqing (formerly known as ChungKing) is located:
and this is what it looks like:
Now, this is an old picture. There is something new going up at the confluence of the rivers:
This project is expected to be completed in 2019. The towers will be mixed use with residential units, commercial, and hotel space. If this seems familiar it’s because the design team is from Singapore, home of the Sands Marina:
Yes, I’ve been to the top at the very tip (phrasing) and it’s as spectacular as it looks. It is fucking COOL. It also helps that there is a casino at the bottom.
Real Talk: I don’t understand how it is that Vegas is surviving. There are a LOT of impressive places to gamble in Asia (Macau and Singapore come immediately to mind) and online sportsbooks are perfectly legal. If you are an Asian whale, why the fuck would you cross the Pacific to go to Las Vegas?
Oh yeah…
Anyhoo, what were we talking about?
Oh yeah, soccer. Here are your listings (All times Pacific):
One last thing before I go: GO WATCH SUPER TROOPERS 2!!!!
Also, for you betting types, I’m putting down some money on China being the first country to nuke its own cities to quell a rebellion. When I was in Beijing, I just got that vibe…
Have a nice Saturday!
Holy brewery crawl, Batman
Literally crawling are we?
Soon
Quick! Portobello caps on the grill. Marinate or no? Coals are JUST starting to turn gray.
Oh hell yes marinate.
Garlic, balsamic vinegar and a little dijon mustard.
You all fancy n junk tonight.
I think I might have to visit Sweden soon.
Jeebus.
Well at least the Devils are out, so that’s a start.
#CapsYear
We’ll see. At least I was wrong about Jackets in six.
So that’s good.
Evening lizard people, I haven’t seen Seville that thoroughly outfoxed since the Count was duped in his attempt to invoke prima nocta.
/Yes, more Figaro jokes
It was a close shave to avoid understanding this joke.
/flips channel to baseball
Huh, Orioles down 4-0.
//begins drinking
Do Caps and Jackets players only get paid if their games go to overtime?
They’re on hourly.
Yay, overtime.
/shoots self in face
RIP Mini-me
So, will they get a break on the price of the casket?
(sorry, I had to…yes, I’m still going to hell)
Funeral homes have smaller caskets for kids. They’d probably use one of those.
They’ll wait until three more midgets die before packing and burying the casket.
Dang, Holtby.
Suck it, Duke. NCSU 2 – Duke 1.
Pack9 goes for the road sweep tomorry.
Oh Caps
I may have used slightly different language.
But, yes.
Bases fucked GIDP winner #BFIB!!

Damn! My wallet and savings account is empty and has no money in it!
(sits back and waits)
Hey, Omaha, my fridge doesn’t have steak, burgers, or prime rib in it.
/Omaha sends WCS a cow
I can deal.
Their shipping methods are a bit suspect if you ask me.
Cow.
Actually, the wind speed required to keep a full size cow aloft…

“Hey, the Reds tied the Cardinals.”

“Well, at least they were tied for a bit. Progress?”
Well, this sucks.

Panarin and Dubois need to wake up. They’ve been meh the past couple of games
I guess one roots for Sevilla, one expects this…but still…fucking ouch
The NFL Network Marathon of past NFL Draft 1st Rounds, I call it “Titanic”, because no matter how many times we rewatch it, the officers still make the same dumbass mistakes that dooms them all.
Every time I hear Devante Smith-Pelly’s name I think, “I guess Karen ended up marrying a guy named Smith…”
/Scotchnaut would get that one
Just a little/pretty high and chilling in my wife’s pregnancy pillow. It’s damn comfortable.

I swear I was so freaked a month out that I would get high and reorganize the storage areas in our place and the storage room. Every. Two. Days.
YadiBOMB!!
I am excited to see Super Troopers 2. Wife had a going away party thing we had to hit last night and works this weekend — but I’m stoked when we finally get the time.
Just saw it. Greatly enjoyed it.
The alcohol in the movie theater didn’t hurt.
Damn, that was a helluva save by Bobrovsky.
Damn jerk.
