This week, *** Round 9 The Round started in Adelaide in what was expected to be a blowout. What was not expected were the rainy conditions that typically spell out a close low-scoring game. Well, we got both a low-scoring game AND a blowout. 63-26 to the Crows in a game that really

ballsofsteelandfury - May 20, 2018May 20, 2018

You may remember my post about Spain from last year: Link That tells you pretty much all I want to tell you about Spain The Country. This post will actually focus pretty heavily on Spain The Team. Why? Because Spain is one of the five teams I think have a realistic shot to

So, yesterday I left work a little early and caught a 4:00 PM showing of Deadpool 2 at my local mall/multiplex. There are a lot of things to unwrap: I paid $20 USD for a fucking movie ticket at fucking 4:00 PM! Granted, it was a Dolby cinema with fully

Before we begin, please hit Play on the YouTube video below and play at a high volume: Weird Al is a genius. Which seems a perfect transition to the Portugal team preview. As much as many of us may dislike/hate the man and the club team he plays for, there is no

If you think i'm going to fill this preview with pictures of hot Russian girls that may or may not have peed on various heads of state, including our own President, you know me quite well. There will be some fútbol, of course, but let's face it, not even the Russian

We are back and I would be remiss not to thank my good buddy tWBS for filling in for me last weekend! It's been, what, three weeks since I've done this? I used to fill these with pictures of hot Australian girls, didn't I? If not, I do apologize. Now, where

Before we begin, obligatory: Lazy, yes, but do you really think I'm going to pass up a chance to show you Susanna Hoffs in a skimpy outfit? Fuck and no. Damn, she can still get it. Speaking of, can the Egyptian National Team get it in the World Cup? "It" being, of course,

As you've no doubt surmised from that beautifully done banner image, this is tWBS coming at you this week from down under. But don't get excited (not that you would anyway) because I'm about to really let BallsofSteelandFury down. You see, it was my job to sit in for him

Roma - Liverpool (2-5) Balls: Those two goals are what make this match intriguing. In the previous round against Barcelona, Roma lost the first game away 1-4 and everyone had written them off. Then, the return leg in Rome happened and they got the 3-0 result they needed. The away goal scored

I know everyone is all hyped to see how their favourite team's front office fucks up the team's future tonight, so I'll be brief. As it is, there are only two games to report on: ANZAC Day Eve Game - Melbourne Demons v Richmond Tigers The Tigers easily handled the Demons after

What the?!? Hang with me. There's a logic to this. First off, let's make it clear that this post is about this: Later this evening, season 9 of one of our favourite shows will begin. Some of us, including me, are super excited about this. Others, some of which I know are among us,
