    Fucking Holland, gives up 2 late goals to Montenegro and instead of clinching they have a 2 point lead over Turkey and Norway and play Norway at home on Tuesday. Lose that game combined with a Turkey win and you are out another 4 years.

    As a white guy who has been to all three* of those countries, I would pull for Holland & Norway…

    Even though it would mean more to the Turks, who I think have more than double the population of those other two combined.

    (Not going to look on Wiki at the moment.)
     

    *just unintentionally threw major shade at/over Montenegro by overlooking them as a country. 😳

    Thank god for that toll road too. Driving from Grapevine to McKinney before the tollroad just to get some was a massive pain in the ass back in the day. 

    I’m not talking about THAT tollway (Sam Rayburn), I am talking about The North Dallas Tollway.

    It very clearly isn't. He's probably a natural wingback that plays forward better than defenders and defends better than forwards.

    Sure, he's more of a wingback than a true right back. But the only time he's ever played any position for club or country other than right back or right wing back has been taking advantage of his versatility out of necessity because other options were unavailable, not because right back is not his position.

    Dest likely won’t be playing much Right Back/ Wing Back after January 1st, so he better heal fast if he wants to play defense for a few games. 

    Dest is a winger who sucks in the box and who sucks at defense. If he wants to play for club and/or country, he had better learn to defend or learn to finish in the box. 
     

    Barcelona complete Dani Alves' return as boss Xavi Hernandez makes first signing

    Defender Dani Alves has completed a shock return to Barcelona and becomes the first signing under new coach Xavi Hernandez, the club announced Friday…

    Sources previously told ESPN that Barca were reluctant to bring back Alves, but the return of Xavi, who was appointed as manger last week following the sacking of Ronald Koeman, caused a change of opinion.

    The club said in a statement: "FC Barcelona and Dani Alves have reached an agreement in principle for the player to join the football first team for the remainder of the current season. The Brazilian will be joining training from next week but will not be able to play until January.

    Hey @Napoleon how you like that boy now?

    Which boy?

    I noticed that 3 FC Dallas players started: McKennie, Zimmerman, and Pepi

    1 FC Dallas was about to come on before Miles Robinson got his second yellow = red: Cannon

    4 FC Dallas Academy players were subbed on: Acosta, Richards, Ferreira, and…

    Funes Mori (MEX).

    ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!

    Maybe, maybe La Masia could match that in 2010-2014, but other than that, even River Plate & Boca Jrs didn’t produce that many guys on a single team coming out of their academy/making their professional debuts.

    What the fuck turf field was Canada playing on tonight? Reminded me of the plasticy Veterans Field death turf you would see a guy get paralyzed on ESPN Classic.


    Canada is hosting México in Edmonton this coming Tuesday. The Mexicans are going to have fun.

    Not for me. Seeing women’s college basketball and men’s college basketball. 


    Then Univision it is.

    ESPN+ will likely have it, but all 4 of their channels are busy right now.

    There is a zero percent chance this Cincy game is over by 8pm.


    All of the pregame/first chunk will be on ESPN NEWS or ESPNU.

    Also there are ehSpanish channels that will have it.

    Dallas ppl we are having a watch party at Sylvan Avenue Tavern.

    On Google Maps, apparently they are serving up some of this outside of the Sylvan Avenue Tavern.

  11. My friend is a gambling addict. He bet on England -2 and had a good day. 

    England was up 5-0 halfway through the second half when I wrote this to my friend. 
     

    “If Messi had decided to play for Spain rather than Argentina, he would have about 20 to 30 more international goals, because every 2-year cycle he would have had 2 games against an Andorra, Gilbraltar, Faroe Islands, Lichtenstein, Malta, Luxembourg… and then 2 games against an Albania, Montenegro, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Belarus, Cyprus, Slovenia, Israel, Romania… for either EURO or World Cup qualifying.

    Holy Shit, Harry Kane must love qualifiers.“

    The last bit was after checking the goal tally. And then I noticed England’s next opponent!

    She has that 100 percent / zero switch.  I never realized she is actually kind of good looking off the court but I can’t stand her style.  Who is impressing me this week is Kontaveit.  She is a baller.

    Konteveit has been in a zone the last month+.

    Since the end of the US Open, I'm sure that Konteveit has the most points on tour. She's been absolutely roofless on the court.

    This was the starting XI

    che has been not good. 

    Cheeeeee...

    I'm a little worried that Che is a CD is stopped growing too soon and is now the size of a fullback who has the game to play CD... but not the size. So he will be placed at FB (right most likely) and then not show what is needed.

    WTA Finals start tomorrow.

    L-R: Kontaveit, Muguruza, Sakkari, Sabalenka, Krejcikova, Pliskova, Swiatek, Badosa  


    Iga’s wearing a lovely 1980s Highland Park front drape modeled after those seen on “Dynasty”.

    So much ankle!!

    She is not yet comfortable with her own sexuality. High school homecoming dresses in the state of Texas would have her running to her bedroom crying.

    Pliskova on the court has me mesmerized by how big her nose is and whether it helps her aerodynamics during rallies. Pliskova her has me thinking that I could eat for days. 👀

    Sakkari looks surprisingly feminine.

    Konteveit looks like a swinger from London in the mid-‘60s, but you have to remember her body from the court to know what a nice package awaits you when that pink slip drops to the floor.

    Muguruza looks surprisingly feminine as well. Only a tiny fraction of the surly lesbian vibe she emits on the court.

    ...I thought it was on Thursday.  One of the only things that could pry me away from a US/Mexico game is high school playoff football.  I'm going to half to try to avoid seeing the score and watch it "live" at 11PM Friday night.

    Well…

    You half to do what you half to do.
