Hola morning people!
Let’s start off here, I know nothing of Peruvian football or footballers.
What do I know about Peru? They make Pisco which is a fermented grape alcohol that makes a Pisco Sour and is bloody delicious. They have that, and cocaine. I imagine every Peruvian party to be Pisco, fist-fighting and a lot of blow. Which brings me to a Christmas tradition in the Andes.
Do you not think that if we did this here that there would be less problems at the dinner table that night? Uncle Jim is already loaded and is spouting off some racist bullshit so you get to punch the hell out of each other. Respect.
There are a lot of alpacas in Peru however the national animal is the vicuña which is a smaller version
Peruvians celebrate New Year’s by giving one another yellow underpants on New Year’s Eve to bring good luck in the coming year. It’s tradition to wear them inside out until midnight, then flip them around at the stroke of midnight.
These people know potatoes, there are 3000+ varieties.
As I have done for the World Cup previews, let’s take a look at the number one banger there right now.
Sech is Panamanian and he must have been cold in this video as he has a Balls size parka on at times. They are really into gold chains it seems. Final question is what the fuck is with the plushie in this video?
On to the football,
Soccer player Teófilo “El Nene” Cubillas is considered Peru’s greatest athlete. From 1966 to 1991, he played in 513 games and scored 303 goals. He received only one yellow card over the course of his career apparently, so he was soft.
The current team is ranked 21st in the world (I had no idea) and has a lot of guys who play in South America and Mexico which is to be expected. In reviewing the list I have no idea who any of these people are.
Who do they play?
Group A consists of Bolivia (63rd) so that seems doable. Venezuela (29th) which will be a battle. Finally Brazil (3rd) which should be a bloodbath, especially as it is in Sao Paolo.
Seems to me it all hinges on the Venezuelan game and if they win that they are through.

Nice work on game 1 Don T and Hippo.
Today is the DFO pub crawl, uggh, I shouldn’t be where I am,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj3kTdx1QBw
I really am tired of absolutely everything in my life. Especially these whining, asshole kids.
Yours or someone else’s?
Yes
mine at present, but tis a good, universal rule to have. NEVAR PROCREATE, PPL
It’s bad enough that I hear that from women
Horatio, there’s a guy on this bar crawl wearing a Hartford Yard Goat baseball cap.
Blame Rikki.
CC Sabathia is still quite husky.
The CC stands for 200 in Roman Numerals. 200… kilograms.
You can have both teams, Hippo, I’ll take that lines
manperson.The Pub Crawl has reached it’s capacity of 10. All the watchlists are going nuts right now.
Technically a gathering of more than 4 is considered a mob, idn’t it?
In a Mormon town here in Alberta groups of 3 or more are considered troublesome. Obv not incl family……which usually numbers in the teens.
how many of the 10 already LITERALLY crawling?
Turkey are really fucking the Froggies up.
Eager to see which posters get banned from LA public transit today.
I got dibs on “70%”
With so many lawyers DFO is bound to make money!!!!
Not as many blondes on this Norway team no offence
This was my “golden shirt” prediction, but I only had 2-0 to the Nordic Goddesses
I had 2 to 2 so I defo will be in last place with the Insanity scoring system.
by my official scoring, NGA has put 2 of the 3 goals in the back of the net.
More good service in the box.
11 held her run really impressively there
/insert “patience in the box” joke
Lots of speedy, open play in this one. NGA being down 2-nil is hard luck.
Really hope i win the pool for the gently used fleshlight.
in swarthier news, Eye-ties beating the Unspeakable Vice 3-nil in Euro qualifying
So, are the guidos now young and good?
Guess so, be interesting to see if that ticks Serie A play up a notch, too. Missing the Putin Cup seems to have given them and the Dutch a needed kick in the arse.
NOR-NGA brings to mind that Public Enemy classic
Handball AND an OG. That’s…a defender’s worst nightmare.
Nicely done, Nordic goddesses!
/I bet $138 to win $100 on them (HT bet)
Norway also has a cute keeper. Unsure if she would beat the shit out of one after, ala Hope Solo.
I usually pay extra for that
Stephen Miller thinks that Nigeria needs another ‘g’ in the country’s name.
I got Nordic #14 for this’un
If I ever ran a nation, I’d make “The Humpty Dance” our official anthem
I think I’m going to post up at musso and Frank’s and wait for the union station crew. Lmk if that’s dumber than a gop primary voter.
We’re here!
are you also queer, and don’t want any more bears?
if y’all pubcrawlers run across any opium merchants, y’all let Hippo noe
“Nideria! Nogay! Who yoo gant!”

Father and Mother say Nogay without hesitation
I also have money on Belarus v. Germany (HT and FT) beecause I am mentally deficient.
y’all, I cheated on mah diet with a bowl of white rice.
/Let’s see Unsurprised top THAT for saddest comment of the weekend
“Thought I could count on you, but no. You’re just like all the rest.”
-Brown Rice
The pub crawl hasn’t even started yet. I’m sure you will wind up at about 20th saddest.
This is going to be like sleeping with hippies
shameful and just a little bit smelly?
‘Dark Star’ plays softly in the background?
Litre now leads the pool, for reasons nobody understands
I was just about to ask: how the hell are points allocated?
Winner, total goals, winning margin all factor in I think, as well as how many other people picked the same thing you did?
Because as the French say I am supèrefantastique?
Good write up Litre.
About the Peruvian video:
1) That kid in the coca field knows how to live life before he ultimately gets killed at 21 when associating himself in the wrong crowd.
2) Vice should be asking the coca leaf buyers why the fuck they aren’t paying those farmers more. Not cool, bros. Especially with that mark-up and hoarding of profits, we might as well call those drug lords Geofredo Bezos.
3)Wish I was in LA. Stupid Escuela
All credit goes to South Africa for once again trying their best to delay the inevitable.
It’s just a myth that all women’s soccer players get their red cards at the same time.
Marta’s husband George really doesn’t like how close she seems to this “Hermosa” character.
Spain looks desperate. Like, Andy Reid at a vegan restaurant-level desperate.
good call by the lineswoman
SonOfSpam and I waiting for the brewery to open, artist’s conception.
Its past 11:00 AM somewhere. Go ahead. Not judging; I’m jealous
The one white player for South Africa gets a yelelow card in the box… Nelson Mandella is mad and disappointed.
Fuckstick!
dat Hippo GAMBLOR jinx is fierce
I fucking love watching an out-matched team slowly gain confidence that they might be able to win. Doesn’t matter the sport.
it is especially awesome in Lesser Footy, though
South Africa has by far the cutest keeper (so far) this torneo
You catch her giant smile after Spain hit the crossbar?
yeah, that was cool as fuck

Don’t think Espana practiced any defensing
Finnish dude who just scored is a ded ringer for “The Guy” from High Maintenance
Look who it is getting inside the box!
/yes, I am less mature than the average 9-year old
Not a surprise that this Spain team can’t score, too many light touches in the box.
-H. Weinstein
need Gail the Snail to get in there and just kinda mash it
SA coach looks like an extremely unamused senior flight attendant.
yeah, I would not bitch at her about getting another pillow
This is so spot-on the nose that I want to give it 5 pluses. Alas, I have but the one.
Fronk is dead-on!
she just gave a very animated “seat belt and oxygen mask” lecture
“NO PEANUTS FOR YOU!”
Halftime!: What the hell you reading?
I’m just 80 pages away from the end of Perdido Street Station and I’m beginning to understand why it was named such. There’s a story going on but there’s a great focus on the architecture, infrastructure, laneways, waterways, topography, climate and materials that constitute this imaginary city of New Crobuzon. Difficult but rewarding read. And weird as hell.
/next up is Please Kill Me-a verbal history of the punk music movement in the US
I am 31 pages into same!
(and this will NAE be a quick read, I can tell)
I wanted to give up on this book early on but I’m glad I didn’t.
trying to figure a way to imagine this khepri chick as HAWT
Have you seen her mandibles! The way they guide pieces of fruit into her maw! Totally sexy!
Spain’s women are just like Spain’s men – too much focus on being technically correct, not enough just go for the fucking goal already
Is your bet for SA to win the game or to maintain lead to the half?
whole match, sadly
SA’s speed in the open field is ridiculous-if it can just produce one more goal…
/and if the keeper can stand on her head
//and if bees swarmed the field
WHERE ARE MAH BEES!!??
