Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t.  

Not even gonna start with anything this week and just get into lessor footy today:

Croatia vs Scotland ( 2 pm DFO time) in Glasgow
Both teams need a win to advance to the next round, so this will probably be the game to watch. Or not.  Historically, Croatia has never won against Scotland.  And Scotland has never made it to the next round. So, my wild ass guess is a 1-1 tie but with plenty of chances for each*.

Czech Republic vs England ( 2PM DFO time) in London
Both team have won a game and had a draw.  This makes this game the battle for top spot in Group D.  The Czech just need a draw to finish first in the group due to goal differential.  A draw also gets England in the the last 16.  So expect a 2-2 draw*.

*Prognostications done by someone that can bearly spell lessor footy, let alone follow it.

As a reminder, this post will cover comments made up to and through the Saturday Night Open Thread. Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post. Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

I just went to the grocery store. As I was putting my stuff away, some Karen came storming up to me and said “they can’t make you wear that mask anymore. ” I said ” I have no idea what Von’s mask policy is. I’m wearing mine because of idiots like you.” Fuck off, stupid bitch, I’m a Navy fucking wife!

During the war I killed fifteen Germans.
Unfortunately I got shot four times.
Fortunately I was able to remove all the bullets myself.
Unfortunately this was in Iraq and those Germans were our allies.
Fortunately the paperwork got lost so I was never prosecuted.
Unfortunately the paperwork got lost so I never got paid either.

I see my banner comment involving Nazi aggression in WWII has been undone by a comments involving Russians.

How fitting.

Boy if this is a fan’s reaction to his team moving 35 miles to the suburbs, my reaction to the Bengals moving to San Diego in 5 years is going to be glorious!

But serious, I agree. Its not as good as Wrigley Field but its Soldier Field for crying out loud! If you want to upgrade it, do what the New York Yankees did with Yankee Stadium and tear it down and rebuild it. (That’s the first positive thing I’ve said about the Yankees in my life.)

Debating whether or not to invite my ‘off the boat’ Scottish BIL over to watch the tilt tomorrow. The last time we got drunk together he showed me how to fall out of a stadium seat, a bar chair, a restaurant chair, a lounge chair and the hotel bed. (3 times)

/after he fell out of the lounge chair in the lobby of the hotel we were at, a security guard asked (I was paying the bar bill and just coming on to the scene) “Does he belong to you? Otherwise, we’re gonna have to call the cops”.

ESPN Rachel Nichols: “So Quin Snyder coach of the Utah Jazz, what does you’re team need to start doing to stop the Clippers offense.

QS: “Well, Rachel we really need to get better rotation on our double teams, were leaving the shooter way too open on his rotation.

Rachel: “More importantly how does is feel to be a wanted criminal and the notorious Dick Tracy is pursuing you?”

QS: “That’s not a fair question see? I was framed, see? That Dick Tracy is a no good rat I tell ya! A dirty no good government rat!”

Rachel: “So how do you stop Paul George in the second half?”

QS: “Well honestly Rachel, we need to have better interior defense and we have to push the ball.”

Rachel: “Thanks coach.”

QS “Thank YOU Rachel.”

Should be an easy triumph for the Spanish — they had an empire that was the envy of the world at one time. Then again, you can never truly bet against Poland when they have their talisman (who is also a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. agent) in their squad.

In fairness, Action Park was known for every safety violation in the book. And several not in the book.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This loss by Scotland will cost me my lead in the DFO pool. I can feel that gently used fleshlight just slipping out of my fingers.

Oof. That’s not what I wanted to see in CRO-SCO.

It wasn’t so much the velocity, it was the picture-perfect placement.

Who is surprised that comic book writers aren’t getting any?

Horatio Cornblower

Comic book writers, I imagine.

scotchnaut

Uh-oh.

Don T

The left ruins it. Quelle surprise

litre_cola

Thus far in the pool we have learned that 4 year olds know shit about Euroball.

scotchnaut

But does he know shit about hockey and football as well?

Gumbygirl

Is he still ahead of Balls?

litre_cola

Nope dead last

Gumbygirl

I’ll be down there soon to keep him company.

Wakezilla

He might be tied with me for last. I keep forgetting to make changes to the results

King Hippo

Who really needs the Draw here, Finland??

Dunstan

Yeah. I think Ukraine clinches, and Finland’s chances improve a lot.

scotchnaut

Oooooo… Beckie brought out the hair curler today.

scotchnaut

Scotland playing like they just heard there were some open-minded sheep in the dressing room at halftime.

Scotland have scored no goals. They sure as fuck aren’t going to score 2.

King Hippo

and they’ll probably need 3+

Wakezilla

Move Mctomminay from CB to striker. I bet you he’s better than Che Adams and whomever else is up there

King Hippo

2nd half, everyone will be at striker

litre_cola

I like Che, but I agree. move McT and Robertson up

Don T

Sponsorship by Heineken 0.0 in Scotland is very bad juju

King Hippo

when you want a very average beer, just without any positive feeling

Wakezilla

Well fuck. 1-0 for a province in Yugoslavia

litre_cola

I clearly did not have enough cigarettes for this.

Wakezilla

Really hope Scotland change their cleats at the half. You get the sense that a defender skipping is going to cost a team the match

King Hippo

Always had a soft spot for the Yugos. Tito wasn’t so bad, accounting for the “everyone was a complete asshole” era.

Don T

Tito was a delightful despot

Wakezilla

He was my favorite Jackson 5 member

litre_cola

Vodka ain’t bad either.

Wakezilla

I’ve always liked Croatia, but, as someone with a Scottish surname, it would be nice to see Scotland advance into the round of 16 for once in my lifetime

Gumbygirl

My neighbor bought a Yugo. The rear view mirror broke off the first time she tried to adjust it. Piece of shit car!

Fuck everything already

Inshallah, Imaginary Pal. That’s the promising AM (Vlasic) that Everton gave away for peanuts. Hurt me in the feels too (just much less).

Very Disappointing Everton works in mysterious ways

litre_cola

Boss asked to change our monthly one on one meeting to right now. I told him NO.

He asked why, I was honest. He was cool with it and told me to have a good afternoon.

King Hippo

pick up Deci from pre-school?

litre_cola

Nope. He is there til an hour after the game. I am stoned and have turned off my work comp.

King Hippo

is ok, he probably heard your bellow of rage

King Hippo

Ustaša v. Trainspottting! WHO YA GOT

Viva La Tabula Raza

It’s going to be Ante-climactic.

Don T

Oof. Frantic game. Make my truancy count, Scotland!!!!

Dunstan

One thing I’ll say for the Euros — when it says “noon,” they really mean the action starts at noon, not “we’ll have 10-20 minutes of player intros and anthems and ceremony before we actually start playing.”

Sharkbait

TAKE NOTES NHL!

They should also do flyovers with vintage B-17s and Avro Lancasters,

Are you feeling ok? I was sore as hell, but not sick.

Yup

Today is primary day for mayor of New York. I have got to remind myself to re-register as a Democrat to vote in said primaries.

/Regardless, probably gonna vote for Madre Weaselo.

Dunstan

It’s ranked choice voting, so you can list the entire Weaselo clan, can’t you?

Sharkbait

That could make for some awkward family dinners if it leaks who was ranked higher than others

Dunstan

Don’t worry, as I understand it, New York is so slow at counting votes that those results may never be known.

Senor Weaselo

I think that’s also just the primary.
