Welcome Back, Mexico! Lesser Footy July Increases Intensity

King Hippo - July 20, 2019July 19, 2019

After a Xolos/Puebla Friday night opener, a whole bunch of Mexi-folk are in action tonight. I'm most interesante in the late showdown between Tigres amd Monarcas Morelia (who I like to GAMBLOR upon). 10p EST, on one of your local Mexi-stations, and/or Univision Deportes. Though I gotta say - Europe mostly

Down to the Raging Afrikan Semis – Lesser Moving Forward

King Hippo - July 13, 2019July 13, 2019

This is a bit of a footy desert for us degenerate #HAILGAMBLOR types. There is less to pick and choose from, so we tend to...force the #ACTION a bit? Anyway, happy me that Sweden, Norway, Finland, Brasil, Belarus, etc. are all kicking back into gear today. Them's is leagues I

Action kicked off yesterday with host Egypt (fuck off, Mo Salah) beating a game Zimbabwe squad, 1-nil. You get a triple-header on

ballsofsteelandfury - June 18, 2019June 17, 2019

As I advised to several of you over the weekend, it's sometimes a lot better to watch the fútbol on the Spanish channels as they have hot Latinas in the broadcast and in the commercials. While watching those broadcasts, you may be practicing your Spanish and hearing the announcers

Today is the debut of Paraguay and Uruguay in the Copa América. Fish out of sand Qatar takes on Paraguay and the better Guay (YMMV) takes Ecuador. But let’s acknowledge the significance of this day. Via giphy.com Happy Vasectomy Awareness Day, reprobates. The smell of baby powder makes me squirm like a vampire

It wasn't supposed to be this way. There are far more knowledgeable soccer doofuses that should be doing this but I volunteered and y'all gonna bathe in my ignorance. Nether Regions/Roger Milla's Granddaughters: Cameroon played surprisingly well vs. the Canucks last time out (or were the Canucks just a little too tight?)

Lips near each other, no teeth showing: perfect form for a kiss. That was in 2011, the last time Uruguay won the Copa América. Incidentally, that was the last Copa in which Luis Suárez played. He will play in this one; chomp on that, folks. There have been 43 Copa Américas

Hola morning people! Let's start off here, I know nothing of Peruvian football or footballers. What do I know about Peru? They make Pisco which is a fermented grape alcohol that makes a Pisco Sour and is bloody delicious. They have that, and cocaine. I imagine every Peruvian party to be Pisco,

Venezuela: Starving for your attention. Your 2019 Copa América Team Preview

Wakezilla - June 7, 2019June 7, 2019

Reasons why you should cheer for Venezuela: Venezuela is starving for the attention of lesser footy fans who do not have any blood ties to any country participating in the Copa América. Their team nickname, La Vino Tinto (Red wine), is literally encouraging you to drink alcohol while watching them play! Their

Yes, I went with the English spelling tonight. As far as sports, the only thing I can see that is on tonight is Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final with the St. Louis Blues trying desperately to prevent another BAWSTAN championship parade. That comes your way at 5
