Saturday Night Open Thread – The Spain WWC Preview Edition

BktGhodCAAAjSMx.jpg

I am writing this only two hours before post time which I should be commended for. That’s improvement, people!

The reason I wanted to include the Spain preview in tonight’s Open Thread is because:

  • It helps with the word count.
  • I don’t know much about the Spanish Women’s National Team.
  • The Women’s World Cup is starting soon and I thought I would use this as a reminder for those if you that volunteered to write previews!

As I said, I know very little about the Spanish National Women’s Team except that their best player is Alexia Putellas, the captain of the Barcelona women’s team that has won two of the last three Women’s Champions League titles while going two straight years without losing a Spanish League game. They have only lost two games in all competitions in the last FOUR YEARS!

I am betting that this success translates over to the National team. Besides Alexia, the team also features Jennifer Hermoso, the leading scorer in Spanish National Team history and a former teammate of Alexia at Barcelona. She currently plays in the Mexican league for Pachuca.

I’m seriously considering Spain as a contender this year. I don’t think the US will win and Spain is just as good as any other team out there.

***

Liga MX continues the Apertura season today with América hosting Puebla and Tigres hosting León, both on TUDN.

***

Another reminder: DFOCon in Vegas is ON for this November. The preliminary details are first weekend in November, staying in Downtown, and good times to be had. Look for the dorks with lanyards featuring your favourite DFO usernames!

Enjoy your Saturday night!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Hey, a WVU alum did something good newsworthy this time!

I can be happy about this, right?

Look, it’s been a bit of a rough few years…

WCS

Damn fine Canadian footbooul this weeuknd.

Not sure if you know this, but if you keep drinking whiskey, you start to feel a little drunk eventually.

The rain forecasts here are getting more and more hysterical. Up to 11″ shown in some models for the Hartford area, 6-7″ in my area, and Deanna Favre won’t stop calling.

I’ve spent the night shoving things in the shed, taking screens out and putting storm windows back in, setting up the sump pump and hoses, and covering firewood with tarps. All of which guarantees that it will be somewhat foggy tomorrow.

That said, if I stop posting here after tomorrow it’s likely I drowned. Know that my last thoughts were likely “well this sucks”

Brick Meathook

Is the flooding putting out the fires?

Horatio Cornblower

You’re thinking of Canada. I’m in Connecticut.

It’s like Canada in that everyone is very pale and into hockey and lacrosse, but unlike Canada in that we’re extremely rude.

Brick Meathook

Thank you for that explanation, counselor. Now, back to the question at hand. Is the flooding putting out the fires?

WCS

“Like Canada But Rude” should be on the Connecticut license plate.

yeah right

The day you stop dancing is the day you start dying.

Think I better dance now.

Gumbygirl

Wooo, let’s dance!

I suspect I won’t be doing much other than bailing tomorrow, so I’ll try to knock out a couple.

Expect very little attention to detail.

I’ll take the Dutch squad. Have it to you early this week.
Because… Amsterdam… nuf said.

Any man who can make it off the line and back to chow is in for a treat. God bless you boys and thank you for your service.

HI I’M MARK DAVIS AND I MADE A POOPY IN MY PANTS

Horatio Cornblower

That’s certainly one way to describe that contract he gave Gruden.

yeah right

This is not my quarterback.

This is not my beautiful life.

King Hippo

Definitely seems like something Nestle would send to South America in the 1960s.

Brick Meathook

South America? This was Western Pennsylvania Chow!

WCS

In the 1920s, then it was sent south.

yeah right

I can actually make lanyards.

yeah right

I got the materials and the printers.
No man. I can do this gratis.

In my industry it’s called a “G- Job” yo.

Now all I’ve got to do is get attendance.

Who’s going to Vegas motherfuckers?

In attendance, yeah right!

yeah right

One lanyard is pretty easy.

Y’all ain’t gonna leave me at The Luxor again are you?

Brick Meathook

I once got left at LAX for a DFO Vegas meetup. Missed a plane door closing by 30 seconds.

yeah right

Fucking tWBS man.

Loved that fucking guy.

2Pack

Beats those dorky “Hi, I’m Bob” stickers.

yeah right

My lanyard is gonna say Old Dirty Bastard.

Horatio Cornblower

You should all wear “Larry from Regina” T-shirts.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So, uh, I did an image search for “Jennifer Hermoso sexy” and, um, if you follow suit might I suggest searching for “Jennifer Hermosa” instead.

It’s like being Quasimodo just minding your own business and all the sudden DONG

Just got back from the pool. It’s 114⁰, the pool felt like a bathtub. Not refreshing, boo.

Oh man, that’s making me harder than Chinese arithmetic.

Horatio Cornblower

Easy there, Mojo.

King Hippo

It’s grossing out the Baby Jesus obvs and he’s cut off Murrika’s a/c imogodbless

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Honestly if you and Gumby want to come crash with us until you head up to Big Bear, we’ve got room.

Gumbygirl

We’re good, thank you my darling dear! I have stuff to do around here before we go. It’s comfortable inside, it’s outside that blows goats.

Steal the idea and have them made in L.A.

Then start your own Etsy store. I’m sure there’s no copyright on “I Love Anal”

Game Time Decision

Not sure why this never occurred to me before, but made a burrito instead of just having a wrap. So much better with the same ingredients

If season 2 of Severed never comes out I say it would be a good thing; no way another season can live up to the first/offer a satisfying conclusion.

blaxabbath

How many seasons can I watch of Aaron Rodgers calling his family?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Severed? I assume you are talking about the scotchnaut biopic?

Horatio Cornblower

Do you mean Severance?
