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.

Nah, she doesn’t want anything to do with Bread.

Radio Commercial: “If this Reds game ends with a save, a donation will be made to a local suicide prevention charity.”
Me: “Aw. That’s make this impending Blown Save and Loss even more disappointing.”

I very recently said something like, “I’ll watch ‘Shooter’ any time it comes on.” I’ve come around-it’s complete garbage. I’ll never watch it again.
/anyone else go thru this process? Anyone else given up on their ‘guilty pleasure’?

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!

I guess my biggest injury is from a lifetime of casual overeating and sedentary lifestyle that will inevitably lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and a general decline in quality of life before slightly lowering the average life expectancy of my demographic.

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.”
yeah right

This may be the first time I’ve ever seen VAR give a goal that wasn’t originally ruled a goal.

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.

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.
That’s just all the Astroglide on your hands.

Thus far in the pool we have learned that 4 year olds know shit about Euroball.
So he fits in well with us
But does he know shit about hockey and football as well?
Sure. He’s 4. Looking forward to losing to him in ff
Is he still ahead of Balls?
Nope dead last
I’ll be down there soon to keep him company.
He might be tied with me for last. I keep forgetting to make changes to the results
Who really needs the Draw here, Finland??
Yeah. I think Ukraine clinches, and Finland’s chances improve a lot.
Oooooo… Beckie brought out the hair curler today.
Scotland playing like they just heard there were some open-minded sheep in the dressing room at halftime.
I’m watching on TSN. How the hell am I 2 minutes behind everyone?
Me too. Weird.

Scotland have scored no goals. They sure as fuck aren’t going to score 2.
and they’ll probably need 3+
Move Mctomminay from CB to striker. I bet you he’s better than Che Adams and whomever else is up there
2nd half, everyone will be at striker
I like Che, but I agree. move McT and Robertson up

Well fuck. 1-0 for a province in Yugoslavia
I clearly did not have enough cigarettes for this.
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
Always had a soft spot for the Yugos. Tito wasn’t so bad, accounting for the “everyone was a complete asshole” era.
Tito was a delightful despot
He was my favorite Jackson 5 member
Vodka ain’t bad either.
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

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

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.
pick up Deci from pre-school?
Nope. He is there til an hour after the game. I am stoned and have turned off my work comp.
is ok, he probably heard your bellow of rage
Ustaša v. Trainspottting! WHO YA GOT
It’s going to be Ante-climactic.
Oof. Frantic game. Make my truancy count, Scotland!!!!
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.”
TAKE NOTES NHL!
They should also do flyovers with vintage B-17s and Avro Lancasters,
Took today off as I got my second vaccination yesterday and didn’t want to work feeling like crap and figured I’d have a day of footy to watch between naps. Imagine my disappointment when looking into today’s schedule. Fucking EURO scheduling
Are you feeling ok? I was sore as hell, but not sick.
Feel a bit run down and my arm is really sore. Took a nap and some pain meds, so feeling okay right now. But whatever I’m feeling is better than getting the Rona
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.
It’s ranked choice voting, so you can list the entire Weaselo clan, can’t you?
That could make for some awkward family dinners if it leaks who was ranked higher than others
Don’t worry, as I understand it, New York is so slow at counting votes that those results may never be known.
I think that’s also just the primary.
