  1. It’s similar to the NCAA baseball tournament when they talk about SEC teams. When UEFA makes up 40% of the qualifying spots, what is the anticipated result given a long enough sample size?
  2. Want Argentina, Brazil, France, Morocco Predict Netherlands, Brazil, France, Portugal
  3. 1. I have had a lot of success with HG Financial even over the past year Link 2. When you have a net worth of zero (or negative if you are carrying student loan debt), then $150k seems like a fuck ton of money. When you are worth $500MM +, I would imagine $200MM would seem like less. Especially when there are other options if you don’t act like a petulant asshole. Then again - my interests are far less expensive than Ronaldo’s.
  4. At the time they were there, were they able to sit on the beach with $500 million in the bank earning 20%? Yeah, the ME is not that bad early in your career with the expat pay bump plus other allowances that will allow you to retire a decade early. That isn’t the scenario Ronaldo is dealing with.
  5. Just plowed through The Bear this week. Had not listened to this album in forever.
  6. Hair extensions to improve header finishing rate. Also, I realize other people have higher fuck you money thresholds, but $500 million is a little above mine.
  7. Based on the quotes in the article, this sounds like Gregg or his agent is acting like he has options - not that there is interest from US Soccer. In that vein, I am also weighing my football managing options and have interest in managing in Europe.
  8. So the guy who constantly harps on the exploits of Caniggia, Maradona, Tevez, Simeone, Messi, Saviola, Batigol, etc. (I can keep going if we need to), has a problem with embellishment and diving in a football game?
  9. Well shit “Dr.” Joe Machnik. Too late to edit, but obviously didn’t mean the senator.
  10. The only person who I would keep are Kate and Derek Rae. Kate has got her role down well. Not sure why, but I just love Derek pronouncing weird ass European names with a phonetically challenging series of random consonants. Makes those names just roll off the tongue. I actually don’t mind the words that come out of Landon’s mouth, but his enunciation and inflection is like a prepubescent, robotic Ben Stein. I would like a late night recap show with Deuce, Edu, with Max Bretos emceeing. Sobriety would not be allowed and a delay would be needed for FCC purposes. The first episode would include Mark Clattenburg and “Dr.” Joe Manchin fighting to the death. The winner would then fight Rob Stone on the second episode. The third episode would include burying the winner of second episode in an ant hill.
  11. Im not sure you have seen an extra time game with several sendings off on both sides (I.e. your exact scenario). They are boring as shit. At that point, you wish the ref would just call extra time early and go straight to kicks. This will have the exact opposite of the desired effect, just like the golden and silver goals. The managers will keep 5 at the back and you will get 1 or 2 v 5 on each side of the field. Even if you do see a goal - then it will be extreme bus parking time. This may work for a lower league tournaments or non-professional levels, but nothing of note.
  12. Spain has reverted back to classic Spain. I think this goes to show just how awesome Iniesta really was - in that he could overcome the traditional Spanish implosion at least once. Of course, it could just be that the Dutch (late round only)implosion tradition is even stronger.
  13. I hope.
  14. I always love where the S American countries call the other ones Nazi harborers. Lets just forget where Mengele, Stangl and Gregory Peck were hanging out after the war.
  15. I’m going to claim it was a clean hit and a a golazo there. Also, don’t think I have ever seen a non injury keeper sub made by the winning team in a World Cup match.
  16. Damn, Rivaldo looks like Brazilian Skeletor now. Although thinking back, I guess he always kind of did.
  17. This is what I just don’t get. I would totally be trying to play for Monaco, Napoli, Real Sociedad, or back to Sporting and play for free. No real pressure, awesome locations. Or shit go play second division La Liga and play for Las Palmas or Tenerife. Any of those would be better than spending any time in Saudi playing against who knows what.
  18. This may be the most fun Brazilian team to watch since Ronaldo/Rivaldo/Ronaldinho. Thank god Felipao and Dunga are gone as managers.
  19. For how shaky the Croat keep looked during the game, he sure was good during the shootout. Like a Croat Taffarel.
  20. Come on Saka. That’s one you just apologize and do your best to prevent a card. The chance was there to take down Bellingham - but they missed it. That goal was all Bellingham and Foden.
  21. Shit come on Senegal. Finish those.
  22. When all else fails, get an Argentine manager not named Tata. Pipe dream is that Poch is tired of Europe. Maybe get Gallardo from River Plate.
  23. Damn Lewandowski. Don’t go out of the tournament like that. I mean - even with the life line. Two or three steps and put it through the back of the net.
