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

Well, it was kind of fun. Shit-ass Liverpool got pipped for the Prem title, thanks to their draw at Goodison Park. I don't like many of the results in the Champions League, but the action on the pitch has been pure Bananacakes (also, Come On, You Spurs!). But all must come

Man City aren't going to go an unprecedented 4-for-4, thanks to some dodgy VAR decisions in their Champions League quarterfinal with Spurs. But fuck it, they were being stretched depth-wise as is, and it was MOAR important that they keep the fucking Shite from winning the Prem for the first

It's like clockwork. When the League is competitive at the top, hype the title race. When it's not, hype the relegation battle(s). But what to do when it's all done and dusted? Aside from all four contenders doing their best to fuck up the last 2 Champions League spots? I guess

Welcome back, though the FA Cup semis (nae exactly raging, MOAR LIEK a quarter-chubb, just enough to make you glad you wore jeans). As such, ALL the Prem action on Saturday is in the 10:00 window (Daylight Savings Times are back in alignment). Palace and Newcastle are the featured match (NBCSN),

Yes, I have no fucks to give about this year's Flacco Eight. What a wretched, boring, vanilla-ass torneo. But the big leagues in Europe and Sudamerica are back, by God. So let us enjoy some proper Lesser Footy. Perhaps you wish to sleep in. The Premiership has you covered, starting with

Yes, that obnoxious bleating Geordie will be creaming his knickers all over Real and Barca this afternoon (2:45 EST, BeIn). Yet another el Clasico, coming off the heels of a dull as dishwater Copa tie mid-week. Same location, even. But my blood is up, yet again, for the Merseyside Derby (Sunday,

Everton hosting Leicester right now (NBCSN), with my Toffees needing all three points, and needing them badly. I think we shall get them, but then again I am a moron. Next up is Arsenal hosting Mighty Whitey (10:00, NBCSN). Litre's boys have been a little more alive of late, but this

Boxing Day Open Lesser Footy Thread

King Hippo - December 26, 2018December 26, 2018

Rejoice, for the Merry Brits are bringing the sport lumber today! NBCSN has a quardruple-header, starting with Fulham/Wolves (NOW, nil-nil as the second half gets under way). This is followed by a terrible Bardodes at Redshit fixture (10:00), then two pretty decent ones - Brighton/Arsenal (noon), and Chelsea/Watford (2:30). Of course 10:00

Sorry, forgot I was doing this. As we speak, Palace have roared back to take a 2-1 lead on City. At the Etihad. BANANACAKES!! There is also Hammers/Moose Hornets and White Power/Barcodes on NBC Gold. United look for their new manager bump in the spotlight dance (12:30, NBC) in the easiest setting

Good morning fellow DFOers! Thanks to the good folks at Make-a-Wish foundation, your imaginary pal Wakezilla is hosting the Lesser Footy AM thread again. If anyone asks, I have tumorsyphilisitisosis. Yes, I know the disease sounds both sexy and very terminal. *cough* In case you are wondering about the featured image, that
