Do you like watching the Euros? You do? We have something in common, you and I. So plop yerself down, enjoy the match and type whatever is on your mind.

Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 12

ballsofsteelandfury - June 17, 2016

Once again, the AFL Beat is delayed. BUT THIS TIME I HAVE A GOOD REASON! Keen observers, of which I am not, will have looked at last week's post, seen the schedule of game for this Round, and realized that we had a Sunday Night Footy game! Let me take that

STANLEY CUP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Enjoy the golf. No, just kidding. Today marks the start of the year's second golf major, our national championship, the US Open. It's second of the four annual biggest events on the golf calendar, and has an earned reputation as being the "toughest test in golf." That is most

DFO Euro 2016 Preview – Italy

Senor Weaselo - June 13, 2016

As I hope we all know because we're smarter than average bears here, Italy is that country in southern Europe that looks like a giant boot. So naturally they'd be pretty decent at the kicking sport, with four World Cups (last in 2006) and a European championship to their name.

DFO Euro 2016 Preview – Turkey

Senor Weaselo - June 12, 2016June 12, 2016

Sorry I'm late with this, hoped I'd have it up by their first game. Anyway, here are my thoughts on the Turkish team aka the Crescent-Stars, ranked 18th in the FIFA rankings and playing Croatia (lost 1-0), Spain, and the Czech Republic in Group D: Fuck 'em.

Euro 2016 Preview–Romania

Senor Weaselo - June 10, 2016June 10, 2016

Oh shit, I better get started on the Euro posts I said I might do. Let's see when the first match is… this afternoon? And Romania's playing in the opener? Well I better get this done now! For the geographically lacking folks/everyone who gets confused by all the eastern European countries, Romania

Euro 2016 Preview – France

SonOfSpam - June 9, 2016June 9, 2016

France is hosting Euro 2016, which means the soccer (or "football" if you don't have American genitalia) team automatically qualified for the annual competition. As the tepid betting favorites for the competition, there is pressure on the French team to play well for the disaffected smelly home crowds. The last time

Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 11

ballsofsteelandfury - June 7, 2016June 7, 2016

Once again, apologies for posting the AFL Beat later than usual. I really need to get a spare key made for the DFO Clubhouse... This week, to make up for last week, we meet not one but TWO AFL footballers, we review this week's results, and we look at where we

UEFA Euros Preview – Belgium

King Hippo - June 5, 2016June 4, 2016

As the above-pictured Romelu Lukaku (Everton WOO!!!!) goal may remind you, Belgium are the side that took out los Estados Unidos in the Round of Sixteen at the 2014 World Cup (aka, the last time fellow Evertonian Tim Howard wasn't a sack of monkeyshit). Unlike his Cutler-sulky Blues teammate

Euro 2016 Preview – España

ballsofsteelandfury - June 3, 2016June 2, 2016

What do people think of when they think of Spain? There is a reason I put all those pictures in that order. After all that delicious food, you're going to need a siesta. Spain is the land of my ancestors. Many of you know I was born in México but many of

Copa America Centenario Preview – Chile

King Hippo - May 31, 2016May 30, 2016

Bienvenidos! Yes, I tried to spell that myself first, and really fucked it up. I am here to talk about the Lesser Footy hipsters of the South American Euros (as played in los Estados Unidos to give Mexico home field advantage and Donald Trump a stroke), La Roja

Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Indigenous Round (10)

ballsofsteelandfury - May 30, 2016May 30, 2016

Did y'all like those cool ass guernseys? I dug blaxabbath's comment about the Western jumper so much I put it up as the banner quote. I'm still giggling about it. It is so true! This week, the AFL Beat is coming to you a day late since there was a
