Juneteenth Euros Jubilee!

That’s right, White Devils!  You done been CANCELLED.  Lord knows, your weirdo wingnut uncle needed sommet else to bitch about next Thanksgiving.

Anyway, nothing celebrates black power like the European Euros!  A good 2/3 (which is MOAR than 3/5 ,, ppl forget that) of the squadrons think it’s bad to be raycess!!

Hungary v. France – in Budapest (9:00, ESPN)

Remember that part about thinking racism is bad?  Let’s just say the Hungarians – like most of Central/Eastern Europe – ain’t get the memo.  Fortunately, just as racist, fascist, and backwards as they are – perhaps even shitter at the footy.  Frogs are gonna pound them like a veal.  Even if they play their walk-ons white guys.

Portugal v. Germany – in Munchen (Noon, ESPN)

Good thing they have home pitch advantage.  If Round 1 is any indicator, they gonna need it.  Realistically, the Krauts will be playing for a point here, with Hungary up next.  Should the Fightin’ Ronaldos win, what a treat that dead rubber match against France will be.  Stupid format.

Spain v. Poland – in Sevilla (3:00, ABC)

Looky-loo, a Lesser Footy match with no Murrikans involved on teh broadcast teevee!  No doubt, Poland is competitive with Hung Gary on the Das Raycess! table, but of late – they’ve been MOAR about terrifying violence against homosexuals.  The world is a shitty, shitty place.  Don’t you forget it, or kid yourselves into thinking it’s just US of A.

As for the banner pic?  That relates to the unholy abomination that is the Everton Board actually, seriously considering Fat Kopite Cunt Rafa Benitez for its managerial opening.  Seriously, the Bitter Blue 3/4 of Merseyside is absolutely awash in fury.  Negative manager who plays shit football?  Check.  History of mocking/belittling Everton Football Club?  Check.  Fucked off to China, and sucked ass there?  Oh, that’s a check.  Really, it’s like a game of Moron Chicken between Everton/Moshiri and Spurs/Levy, seeing who can wade deepest in the cesspool of their own stupidity.

At least no FINAL decision has been made, at least as of Hippo’ Friday night bedtime.  Which means that I at least didn’t get the Unhappiest of Birthdays for me 48th.

Also, I make no reporting of Los Sudamericano Euros, as the level of play has been shockingly bad.  The combination of rampant #NuAIDS and the complete lack of fans has been TOO MUCH, MAN!

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

I haven’t seen this much scoring while taking a loss since Larry Nassar.

If Ronaldo & Company score another, you can be damn sure I’ll be posting “Portugal. The Comeback.”

Hip, hip, hooray for Hippo’s birthday! Have some sugar

That 7-1 is not that far away…

Portugal. The Loser.

Mr. Ayo

About time those lazy Krauts did something for themselves.

Cecil Rhodes

“Bayern Munchen” sounds like something that Scotland’s Australian-born striker might be interested in. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

That second own goal just gets more brutal every time I watch it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

At least dude is not from Colombia, and so he probably won’t get the Andres Escobar treatment.

Because it’s Hippo’s bird-day and I can’t send him a cake, I’ll send him my fave song by Cake-

Viva La Tabula Raza

Despite my Wagnerian last name and northern Euro origins, I’m still pulling for the Portuguese. Their evil empire was way further back in time, so harder to hold against them these days. Plus, I liked my time in the Azores a lot more than that spent in Germany.

Gumbygirl

These are valid reasons. Also, fuck Germany.

ballsofsteelandfury

Are we at the MCG? I just saw a pigeon on the pitch!

scotchnaut

Portugal The Goalie has been amazing when Germany kicks the ball at the net.

Horatio Cornblower

Unfortunately he’s been shit when his teammates kick the ball at the net, although I suppose the do have the element of surprise.

Horatio Cornblower

Germany just repeatedly violating the neutrality of a smaller country.

Never seen that before.

Viva La Tabula Raza

The secret is to stash all their stolen gold for them, that keeps your borders more secure.

Horatio Cornblower

Happy Birthday, Hippo. May the cake be loaded with pharmaceuticals.

Also, I am in agreement with you: the Sudoamericanos has been very disappointing in terms of play, and hard to watch without the crowds.

scotchnaut

I’m still gonna watch, hoping play improves but the amount of diving is insane. That shit needs to be cleaned up a decade ago.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s so bad.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I watched a bit of one of the matches. I don’t know much, or more accurately, I don’t know shit about the game, and I was amazed at the histrionics. It’s like watching Karl Malone back in the day; someone incidentally touches his bicep and he flies halfway across the court.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, there was an attractive 13-year old girl across the court, so you can hardly blame him.

Wait, I’m getting something from my producers…it turns out that you can, in fact, blame him. And should.

The VAR here is sooooo much better than the Premier League.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, it isn’t rigged in favor of 4-5 teams, so it has that going for it.

Which is nice.

Mr. Ayo

Portugal. The Own Goal.

scotchnaut

“Owen Goal” is Germany’s best player vs Portugal so far.

clint greasewood

7-1 incoming

scotchnaut

Your prediction is almost half-way there.

Horatio Cornblower

A lightning strike from Germany! a phrase that has never ended badly for anyone in the history of ever.

scotchnaut

Germany. The Goal.

/I don’t think that one works as well

Cecil Rhodes

Deutschland. Das Tor!

litre_cola

That was well played by Portugal the team.

Portugal. The Goal.

I wonder if he picks his nose right before it’s his turn to fish for keys at the party.

ballsofsteelandfury

The closest I got was a dinner with a girlfriend and another couple where those vibes were put out. We ended the evening early and then on the way home made fun of the couple for thinking that would be a fair swap.

Yes, we were extremely vain.

scotchnaut

The only swinging I did was to the the killer diller tunes of Benny Goodman. I did have moxy but in fact I was a dead hoofer.

Horatio Cornblower

A guy I went to high school with got busted for running a swinger’s club about 20 years ago.

That would be my brush with that particular…idiom.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Wait, fucking people other than your spouse is illegal? I mean, even if it’s consensual?

Horatio Cornblower

No, he was running a sex club out of a storefront of some kind. Which, it turns out, is very illegal.

I forget all the details, but I think they weren’t very subtle about it and pissed off the neighbors, may have been charging “dues”, and violated about 72 different zoning regulations.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Ah, zoning. He should have set it up in Houston, where there is no zoning.

Horatio Cornblower

I really think that was what got him in the most trouble.

well, that and charging money to let people fuck a bunch of other people in a space he was leasing.

Come to think of it, the second thing might have been his biggest problem.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Would not examine with UV light.

When we were first married, we stayed with some Navy friends of Gumby’s who were in to that sort of thing. Two single guys, constantly rotating cast of girls. One night they brought a stripper home who took a shine to me. The invitation was issued, we graciously refused. There was also a group of naughty girl sailors in Scotland who also played in groups. One of them gave us a kitten, so we always claimed we loved Sorenson’s pussy. There was a big scandal over an orgy that got out of control, several of the girls got kicked out (before don’t ask, don’t tell ) It was an ugly witch hunt, completely unneccessary.

Viva La Tabula Raza

When “don’t ask don’t tell” became a thing, I was well out of it by then, but remember thinking “you don’t really need to ask, because you can usually tell.”

scotchnaut

I know I can count on a ‘like’ from Horatio when I shit on Boeheim. It’s almost a reflex now on his part.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m looking forward to his designing an offense revolving solely around his two sons, then somehow stumbling into the NCAAs and winning two games.

scotchnaut

In my mind’s eye I see you walking your dog in the woods, a funny feeling comes over you, you tell the dog that you have to cut the walk short because, “Scotchy made fun of that shithead coach, I’ve some work to do”.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Hippo!

Cecil Rhodes

Greetings from the banks of the Limpopo, colleagues. It has taken me almost 24 hours to overcome my tremendous disappointment related to the appalling performance of the Three Kittens against those barbarians north of the border. At least those French aristocrats were kept at bay by Attila the Hun in the early contest this morning. Here’s hoping that the men from German South West Africa will be able to fend off those troublesome Angolans — I don’t want other powers to have even the slightest bit of control over my diamonds!

Cecil Rhodes

Ah, and happy birthday, old boy. I will get my manservant to send you a stake in one of the mines that I operate at once.

ballsofsteelandfury

Well done, Gary!

yeah right

Happy birthday you magnificent bastard and pale recluse. I’ll pour one in your honor should I ever get out of bed.

Cole Beasley is a keeper-

“I may die of Covid, but I’d rather die actually living.”

“I’m not going to take meds for a leg that isn’t broken.”

“(I’ll) live life like I’ve lived it from day one.”

I’m amazed his career has lasted this long, given that he’s never engaged in any fitness, weightlifting or stretching regimen designed to prevent injury.

clint greasewood

As a Bills fan a clench every time I see Cole Beasley’s name in a headline.

“I don’t even HAVE scurvy, why should I eat all these limes?”

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not used to being embarrassed by football players after they leave the Cowboys; usually they get that shit done right up front in Big D.

ArmedandHammered

I was like they really are racist, the only person of color has Negro on his jersey, didn’t realize it was Nego.

clint greasewood

Who is actually a Frenchman.

ArmedandHammered

Must be like the very small town in the mountains that was close to my home town. Virulently racist, no POC in the town, school or churches. Till they realized they were never going to win any HS football games, so they started bussing in black students so their football team would have a chance, which to me was the most racist thing of all, assuming any black player would be better than the white players they had.

ballsofsteelandfury

Were they right?

ArmedandHammered

They got a little better, but since their local talent is so poor (inbred) any new blood would have helped.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Was the name of your town Utah and was the HS named BYU?

ArmedandHammered

Viva le résistance!

Horatio Cornblower

THAT GOAL I CALL IT (frantically pages through history books looking for a lightning fast French victory) I CALL IT, UH, CALL It, um, huh. Shit.

Fuck it, I guess we’re going with Austerlitz.

Dunstan

Way back when I owned FIFA 90-something on the Playstation (and knew even less about soccer than I do now), my only tactical move was substituting out my guys with yellow cards. Because I was a fouling machine in that game.

ArmedandHammered

Maybe today was not a good day for France to wear their white jerseys.

clint greasewood

France’s only goal this tournament was scored by German Mats Hummels.

Horatio Cornblower

Turns on the TV. “Huh. Looks like the Hun, Gary, got the memo about Hippo betting on France.”

scotchnaut

I step away for three minutes…

/didn’t think Gary had it in him.

scotchnaut

Here’s a funny

Me: [stares out window] “Looks like rain.”

Submarine Captain: [….]

Me: “But like a lot of it.”

scotchnaut

A full stadium? That’s bananacakes right there!

clint greasewood

According to data they are about 100 cases a day with about 44% fully vaccinated.

scotchnaut

I think they’ll ‘improve’ on those numbers very soon.

Dunstan

I don’t know about that, but the bitchy white woman is absolutely pegging Jamie.

Dunstan

Think about it: we know from other commercials that Jamie is actually incredibly wealthy and educated and happily married, yet he works as an insurance salesman with colleagues who mock and abuse him. Nobody’s that into insurance. Dude is definitely a sub.

No, I haven’t thought too much about this, why do you ask? Now let me share my thoughts about the Liberty Mutual emu….

scotchnaut

Okay soccer monkeys-if each nation could field a team of their all-time greats, who would win? My first thought was that Brazil would have unholy firepower but might be lacking at the defender spots, I dunna know. Maybe Germany would be a more balanced club? Is there a dark horse like The Netherlands? Type at me.

Horatio Cornblower

All things being equal I think it would be Brazil. 5 World Cups over the years, to 4 for Germany and Italy, then add a generous helping of Pele on top.
