Your “Soccer Hooligans Are The Bestest Hooligans” Early Saturday Open Thread

As most of you know, I don’t know jack about Soccer.  Other than it’s kinda boring for 90 minutes, they don’t care about the clock, then they add time.  And it’s still boring even then.

Admittedly, I know many of you love sitting there watching no goals scored, so who am I to judge?

Wow, I haven’t seen an American surrounded by so many Germans since….

Well, let me stop myself right there.

(But you do see the score there after 67 minutes?  Right?)

Anywhoooooo….

But there was no early Saturday thread scheduled today, so…..Here I am!!!!!

Personally, Imma get drunk and watch movies all day.  Then at 4pm, watch the Cleveland Indians kick the living hell out of the Orioles.  Probably.

If one of you Soccer Nerds wants to jump in here and add whatever soccer scheduling thingys you think need to be publicized (so everyone can be bored along with you), then go for it.

Either way, you can talk about how nobody is scoring goals here.

So the app I use for music on my PC (Music Bee) takes all the tracks where the album is uncategorized and groups them together by track number. So there’s this giant list of Track 1’s, another list of Track 2’s, etc. It’s really quite delightful cause it’s like a mixtape but lots bigger and not random.

yeah right

Does anyone else think that sending a team called the Yankees and another team from the city that was essentially the birthplace of the Revolution to England could be interpreted as a bit of dick waggery?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean it could, but not really, because they are the only two teams that anyone in London could be persuaded to come out and watch – especially with the Cricket World Cup going on.

Needed to boost merch sales. Marlins vs. Rays won’t move product.

...

Perhaps, but accidentally giving them a football game might be too.

...

Anyway the Cubs and Cardinals go next year and I plan to go to ensure everyone on that miserable island hates baseball.

VAR shenanigans. 0-0. Suárez misses a penalty. Perú advances without taking ONE shot at goal.
Put another way: Happy Fútbol Hate Day.

Don T

It’s just you and me now, Clorox bleach.
WHEN THE FUCK IS WEEK 1?!?!?!?!?!

Don T

Comment from Week 7: When’s the draft?

Beerguyrob

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!1!1!!1! Fuck you Suarez!

litre_cola

Seconded.

[scoff]

Beerguyrob

Tough but fair.

Don T

???

litre_cola

Peru is fucking clinical.

Beerguyrob

Joe Buck sounds angry enough to quit calling ballgames.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Quit teasing me.

Senor Weaselo

I would say it’s a small price to pay but I’d much rather they didn’t try to finish blowing an 11-run lead.

Don T

Paging Charity

ballsofsteelandfury

Hush! He’s probably drunk and/or high and forgot!

yeah right

Charity to the main stage!

...

I feel like today’s Yankees-Red Sox game is the punishment England deserves for its years of imperialism.

Mr. Ayo

17-10?

Football season is back!

...

We’re just confusing the fuck out of them and it’s great.

Mr. Ayo

How many offside goals equals one (1) real goal?

Asking for a friend.

ballsofsteelandfury

Asking for a Puerto Rican friend…

Don T

[updates Enemies.doc]

Mr. Ayo

Wait until you read my blog post.

Working title is “Can Paraguay actually score withOUT cheating?”

ballsofsteelandfury

Seriously?!?!?

Mr. Ayo

More like Offguay,

At the cabin on the lake, glass of wine in hand and apparently thr airline is driving 2 hours out here to give decilitre his bag…..

London Stadium is making Camden Yards look like Petco Park.

Don T

Uff. It’s getting soupy in Salvador.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think that suits Uruguay.

Don T

I trust URU’s fitness.

ballsofsteelandfury

I just noticed it’s raining in Salvador. That is great! I loved playing in the rain! Specially hot rain like in Salvador.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Russia gets the same kind of rain; it’s localized entirely inside Moscow hotel rooms and can be collected and used for blackmailing people.

Don T

VAR that shit! Tch.

Ay. Eh, it was Cavani. He can do no wrong.

Time for Uruguay/Perú!

Beerguyrob

In selling the product to foreigners, the Yankees are up 8-6 on the Red Sox in the second inning over in London.

ballsofsteelandfury

And the Englishmen will say today’s cricket match was more exciting.

Ron Howard: It was.

Game Time Decision

20, 50, test or full match? Like it matters; still better than the basedball

ballsofsteelandfury

50. ICC World Cup

yeah right

Yep. Leave it to MLB to export a 6 hour game.

Game Time Decision

Wow. I picked the winner and score in that pool for the GER v SWE. Crazy game

/prepares to be last in everything here on out

King Hippo

SVERGE UFF DA!!!!!!!!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

That was a great game.

King Hippo

INDEED, truly had everything

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It was as good as this morning’s game was bad. And I think I made it clear how bad I thought this morning’s game was.

King Hippo

maybe the best ref in el torneo

scotchnaut

This is a great point. She solid.

scotchnaut

This Germany/Sweden game is totally lingonberrycakes!

King Hippo

Lingonberrystrudel??

King Hippo

Too many Krauts entering the box

#Phrasing

yeah right

Saturdays are always odd. I’ve been planning and researching for a week and I’ve got dinner wired for tomorrow but I’m utterly fucking clueless on what I’m going to eat in 5 hours.

Suggestions are welcome.

King Hippo

when in doubt, an entire carton of iced cream

ballsofsteelandfury

P*ssy?

yeah right

Was thinking maybe steak and baked potato. Nice bottle of red.
Something like that.

Mr. Ayo

Well, that should settle it. You could also do a big ole pork chop too.

yeah right

Oh shit yeah.

King Hippo

betting 5 mins added time

ballsofsteelandfury

Got 6

King Hippo

yikes, 6. And I have to pee

ballsofsteelandfury

Wow! That was the tie!

King Hippo

then so close to a dagger! great game

ballsofsteelandfury

This game feels like a last minute German goal sends it to Extra Time and then we go to penalties.

King Hippo

wish I could disagree 🙁

King Hippo

Kraut keeper is keeping them in this.

scotchnaut

Gotta agree with game announcer-Germany sending on a 17 year-old at this time? Whot?

ballsofsteelandfury

Totally!

afternoon funny:
you enter my mansion. inside, you find a room labelled “the clown room”. you enter inside it to find only a single mirror. you fall to your knees as i cackle maniacally

scotchnaut

Given their silence, German soccer fans don’t travel nearly as well as their military.

King Hippo

hey that was a nice pic of Hippo’s imaginary boo celebrating with scotchy’s!

scotchnaut

They must be… spirit animals.

King Hippo

oh, and lest ah forget, I have a small bet on Sweden to win the whole thing that would pay out like $400-450

/knows ain’t nobody gon beat asshole Murricans

scotchnaut

I always take the underdog when it comes to sports I don’t fully understand but Rapinoe’s stance makes me good with the U.S.’s eventual win.

scotchnaut

Hippo-you throw some monkey on this?

King Hippo

dagnabbit, I thought about it after Krauts scored, but +1175 seemed low

/do have Sverge 2, Nazis 1 in the FIFA bananacakes pool

ballsofsteelandfury

Seriously? Nice job!

King Hippo

yeah, maybe I can challenge for 8th now LMAO
