We're back! Well, 17 of 20 clubs are back but we aren't going to talk about that. Good morning everyone and welcome to this years EPL/European futbol preview. Before we start the extravaganza we are doing an EPL tipping pool. Rules are just like the AFL one, if you forget to put

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

Balls Note: As a result of a special request from King Hippo, I'm doing this post entirely in Spanish. Take it as an opportunity to practice and learn something new! Special thanks to Don T for providing the images you will shortly enjoy. ¡Buenos días, mis amigos! Estoy

That's right, fellow white devils (and jiminy Christmas, where is Big Black Richard??) - BeIn is doing Norteamericanos a big favour and televising the 2019 Cup of Nations/Afrikan Euros. Action kicked off yesterday with host Egypt (fuck off, Mo Salah) beating a game Zimbabwe squad, 1-nil. You get a triple-header on

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

Prepping FOAR June – Last Regular Lesser Footy Thread of 2018-19

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

City Chase Domestic Treble (and Other Lesser Events)

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
