Euros Euros Everywhere Saturday

Are y’all enjoying the concurrence of TWO Euros in the same June/July?  Hippo sure enough is, even if (as usual) the teams I would like to do well are mostly…uh, not.

But Spain looks really good and fun, plus my prediction of the Krauts faceplanting….YEESH.  They showed up as the hyper-efficient steamroller their nation-mates prefer.

On the other hand, Gareth Southgate’s Inglen…are as tightly clenched as we’ve come to schadenfreudedly love.  FUCK OFF, I know that’s not a real word.

Anyway, we get three from Europe (including the last non-televised morning tilt), then two from the Sudamericano side of the festivities, once I’ve turned you over to Balls (PHRASING).

You won’t get to see Jimmy Carter’s home state on teevee, so I am reduced to Romania for the banner pic.  Except I don’t think these ladies ARE Romanian, but fuck it – they came up during my search and it suits both my taste and laziness.  They (Romania, not the Showtime lesbians) play “Fluffing Our Lines” Belgium at 3p. in what has become a must win for the Belch (and a much tougher ask than anticipated).

Nooner is Portugal anally violating Turkiye (still pronounced “Turkey” just spelled weird now, so as not to be confused with Thanksgiving dinner), feel free to nap through that.  Both televised matches are on “big Fox” just fyi.

Also, I would be remiss and less-than-woke not to issue belated congratulations to my humble, beloved #BFIB – who got back to .500 in becoming the 2024 Negro Leagues champions.  I am sure even our Chi**** brethren will have MAD RESPEK for that.

THIS ROMANIA I CALL ROMANIA BECAUSE THEY SUCK, THEY’RE LOSERS, AND THEY REEK OF ONIONS AND GARLICS. JUST LIKE THE COUNTRY OF ROMANIA.

Well shit. Now I want to go to Romania.

THIS ROMANIAN FAN SEATING SECTION I CALL IT A CLOGGED URINAL TROUGH IN THE EIGHTH INNING OF A BASEBALL GAME BECAUSE IT IS A SEA OF YELLOW.

I like this ref so far, he’s like “fall down all you want, I ain’t callin’ shit.”

This is precisely why we tell callers NOT to follow road rage aggressors.

Mr. Ayo

Right? Get the plate number, save the dash cam video, then deal with it the next day.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Thank God everyone involved had a gun, otherwise things could have gotten out of hand.

Did the Old West really end, or just sort of change it’s exterior paint?

blaxabbath

THIS.

Everything has a crappy fresh coat of watered down latex over the peeling 116 year old lead/asbestos finish that is as intelligent as a dead 116 year old.

Gumbygirl

We think fancier toys= civilized. We’re just apes with laptops.

WCS

There’s a reason why an advanced civilization knows about us and actively keeps us off their radar.

Fronkenshteen

I can’t even with this shit anymore. Now I’m all fucking mad.

I love Pride.

The juice store at the mall is offering rainbow 3-packs at a discount to celebrate Pride.

Because every gay guy I know is super into saving money….

blaxabbath

Shit — as I set up my wife for this joke, she cut in with “Like for a Trouple?!?”

GRAB THE HICKORY WOOD AND FIRE UP THE BBQ BECAUSE THIS TURKEY IS GETTING SMOKED!

0-3! Why, Atatürk must be spinning in a spit in Armenian Hell.

Mr. Ayo

Yusuf Yazici?

This whole team would have been great fodder for yesterday’s Request Line.

Dartmouth’s only positive asset is being able to say they’re not the Brown University of the ivies.

Gumbygirl

Didn’t you go to Brown? I know somwbody here did. My sister in law did her post doc there. Providence is cool.

Gumbygirl

Somebody. Ughhhhhh.

Mr. Ayo

WTF. How dare you! I went to the perfectly respectable and cromulent and proper Ivy League institution of Columbia University.

Gumbygirl

You coastal elites sure are grumpy!

Mr. Ayo

Only when being slandered at an early hour. But i do respectably apologize for being enraged by your baseless slander. My reaction was uncouth and unnecessary in such proper company.

Gumbygirl

I’ll try to keep my baseless slanders to a more civilized hour than the crack of lunchtime!

Mr. Ayo

Like a fucking lady!

YOU KILLED PALENSTINE!

If I know my soccer history-and I do-the Turkish guy responsible for the own goal is going to be gutted by a Varsak in a hookah bar in Istanbul about a year from now.

Senor Weaselo

Let’s just put it on a tee for me:

THIS SAMET AKAYDIN I CALL HIM AN ANATOLIAN ARMENIAN BECAUSE HE WILL PROBABLY BE SUMMARILY EXECUTED AND THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT WILL DENY HIS VERY EXISTENCE.

Did Rolondo promise the ref bjs from all of Rolondo’s exes?

ArmedandHammered

You say Rolando and I say Rolondo.

ArmedandHammered

At least till the edit function works again.

Gumbygirl

We lost our edit function because we are woeful sinners, and did not repent.

Yellow Cardapalooza!

ArmedandHammered

You get a yellow! And you get a yellow! Everyone gets a yellow!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t understand why this ref bothers putting the yellow card back in his pocket.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Like maybe just give him a yellow glove so he can wave at players when they sneeze too hard on other players.

At 57, Pepe is an inspiration to heel-kicking goons everywhere.

That is the old boys league I occasionally hop on to help a neighbor’s team then am reminded why I don’t join them.

THIS GAME I CALL IT A SLOW-ROASTED THANKSGIVING DINNER BECAUSE THE TURKEY IS FALLING APART.

TheRevanchist

Turkey scores! Sort of

Fronkenshteen

that sucks

scotchnaut

Oh, Turkey…

/it’s funny because two Portugal guys were pissed at each other for blowing a scoring chance 5 seconds before.

Mr. Ayo

GOBBLES!!

Cristiano pouts, OG ensues. What dafuq

Fronkenshteen

Ronaldo’s legs actually held a mutiny against his brain there and dropped him to the turf in order to keep him from fucking that goal up.

rockingdog

Silva scores a goal for Portugal!

That’s Rocking!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If a girl has a pierced tongue…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I didn’t find it to be.

Mr. Ayo

Then she loves anal!

— Balls

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean there’s probably a pretty high correlation.

Fronkenshteen

Turkey will win this because Portugal will simply keep feeding service to Ronaldo like he’s their only scoring option in the box. Just like every other team he plays for.

Dunstan

Turkey and Port, sounds like a nice Thanksgiving

Fronkenshteen

This is my pick for tourney winner. Here we go, Turkiye!

Fronkenshteen

Just got it in!

[Silva scores]

BOO THIS MAN!

As Brick has pointed out previously, and something I can attest to coming originally from the south side of Milwaukee… Those kissing Polish girls will likely look significantly different in their 40’s. Just sayin.
This shot of Bricks auntie illustrates where he gets some of his photographic skills from.

I’d like to offer hype points for POR : TÜR coming up next:

1. I think the game will be testy with a chance of blood

2. Snnnfff [wipes tear] Swarth is beautiful DON’T LOOK AT ME [runs away]

yeah right

I’mma record and watch that shit after my walk. We’ve finally got a sunrise with no clouds. Got to take advantage of that.

For the blind: a chest rebound off PALO makes it GEO 1 : 1 CZE

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well-deserved, honestly. The initial header was a great one and his teammate was well-placed for the rebound.

Mr. Ayo

Thanks, RTD. You’re officially a better broadcaster than Fox Sports.

Oh yeah, but even the goal scorer’s mother would go 🤨 lucky dog

The tree nursery contract: “THIS WRITING IS THE AGREEMENT! NO WORDS FROM OUR SALESMEN ARE THE AGREEMENT! NO EMAILS OR LETTERS FROM OUR OFFICE IS THE AGREEMENT! THIS DOCUMENT YOU SIGNED AT OUR NURSERY BEFORE DELIVERY WITH THIS EXACT FINE PRINT IS THE ONE AND ONLY AGREEMENT.”

blax: “You shorted me about a grand worth of cacti. I know why. Your salesman pulled aside my wife in the 11th hour when he was staking for delievry becauze he discovered a small bust in his privacy hedge (THAT I MEASURED OFF WITH HIM ON TWO SEPERATE DAYS PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE HE DEMANDED I BE THERE TO SEE THE MEASUREMENT WHICH NEVER MATTERED BECAUSE HIS BUST WAS THAT HE DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE DEAD MONKEYS SMELL BAD, APPARENTLY). Now my cacti planter looks/is way incomplete, I’m irritated that I caught the stunt, of course; and the real problem is now me and you, Big Plant, are out of line with our agreement.

Nursery Rep: “….he made a note here on his staking paper….”

Propose to settle for a grand in aloe vera plants or other less-fussy flora. Or blow.

San Pedro cacti are easy to grow, look nice, and have other benefits…

Very casual reaction by my fire alarm to some incense burning. Instead of a “HEY EVERYBODY WAKE UP THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN” it was more like a “Dude, do you smell something? You should check and make sure you didn’t leave a burner on.”

WTF! Up early to watch the footy and can’t! Fuck FuboTV.

Fortunately have some F1 recorded action to watch instead. And some morning freezer vodka.

The struggle is real. Hang in there Other Hippo!
