    Jesús Ferreira? Johnny Futebol? Jesus Fucking (in the Championship)? #9-1!! 1) Sargent 2) Wright 3) Pefok 4) Ferreira 5) Vazquez 6) Pepi 7) Balogun
  2. Deuce Vaughn showing out! I’m glad that I can pull for him rather than root against him.
  3. Nope. I already watch too much crap sports as it is. I don’t need to pay to consume even more.
  4. You should have just written: ‘23 NOTE: the apostrophe is in place of that which has been omitted. Example: I will = I’ll. (The apostrophe takes the place of the “wi”.)
  5. The German boy-ish girl who is at the halftime table just said “unforced errors”. I have never played in a women’s World Cup, but I obviously know my shit when it comes to identifying shitty play.
  6. Watching France 🇫🇷 v Australia 🇦🇺. OBSERVATIONS: 1) The French Keeper sucks all kinds of lesbian diarrhea ass. She is fucking awful! She is atop the MVP odds at the moment, but it would be for an Australia victory. PURE TRASH 2) Each team’s best defense is to let the other team just fuck up. These girls look like high school teams. GIRLS high school teams. If this were tennis, both teams would be inundated with unforced errors. 3) The French keeper finally made a good play in the 45’. 4) Australia is all about “Go! Ho! Go!”* on the counter and France is slightly more ball control, get the ball out wide, and cross the ball to Australian defenders to head the balls out and maybe get the clearance and then shoot wildly from distance. *”Ho!” was a typo, but it made me smirk, so I left it. ⚽️
  7. What in the fuck is 23’ ? Is that 23 feet? Is that the 23rd minute of a game? What is the apostrophe AFTER the number 23 supposed to signify?
  8. Iga beat Danin 3. Tommy Paul beat Carlos Álcaraz in 3.
  9. Smith not only was a backup #9, she should have been our starting #9 on league form. When Rapinoe came on, Smith slid over to the #9 and Morgan came off Rodman should have been our first backup #9. Rapinoe shouldn’t have been on the team, that was on Vlatko. Rapinoe shouldn’t have been the winger sub, that was on Vlatko. The tactics should have been to go at the Dutch left back all game long, but they only occasionally went at that girl on accident (almost) and that was on Vlatko. The USWNT gave up TWO shots on goal all tournament. One vs the Dutch (goal) and one vs the Swedes (save). Analytics showed that we should have gone down our right side all day long, but Vlatko dictated otherwise. Rapinoe was a left winger. Sometimes that is considered a forward, sometimes a midfielder . Considering she no longer has legs to play defense, at this point she would be a forward. Back in the day.
  10. They wilted late and Beerenstyn could have had at least 1 assist late in regulation and a goal about 10 seconds before Spain scored their second.

    Time to give Pulisic the arm band full time, because you really need your captain to be playing with his club. Also, this could be the excuse to go to a Musah/McKennie double pivot behind Reyna playing the #10, leaving Tyler Adams to come in for Musah or McKennie to close out games.
  12. No booze sold at matches in Argentina because there are already too many deaths. But league matches in and around the city are pretty nuts. Don’t think that Brazil can sell booze at their matches either. But it was mayhem in Buenos Aires after we 🇦🇷 beat France 🇫🇷 on December 18th… …and on December 20th, Parade Day!
  13. I got back into tennis at the end of 2019, post Dallas tornado that did some damage to my parents house, and I returned to Dallas and had the Tennis Channel for the first time in the weeks months following my dad passing away and then COVID tournaments while the house was being repaired. Never had heard of her. Had no idea about that she had always been a woman. Just like when my fair-haired, blue-eyes friend would speak Japanese to a waitress in Osaka and she would freeze because she was confused, I was distracted by what I was seeing. The Tennis Channel is far—and-away the most progressive sports channel on TV with BIKTARVY commercials repeatedly telling viewers to keep loving who they are. IN OTHER NEWS… Jennifer Brady must have lost her sponsors while she was away, because in here match just now (that she lost) against Rybakina, she was warring an ASICS hat, New Balance shoes, something on her skirt, and then on her shirt, she had a small… …logo. First time I’ve seen someone sporting the Flex Seal brand on the courts.
  14. Watching the Tennis Channel last week and then again this morning and there is a person whose name is ANDREA PETKOVIC that Austin Powers would have beaten senseless trying to pull of her wig while shouting “She’s a man, man!” Bur looked up this person’s bio and they seem to have been a female from the start of their Wikipedia bio. From their size, to their face, to their awkward movements, nothing about this person leads me to believe that this person has always been a female, but other tennis people seem to know her. oh, Jensen Brooksby was on the show with her Saturday or Sunday and his Baylor Bear ass dis NOT appear to be that comfortable with the Andrea person being there as well.
  15. French Foreign Legion putting the beat down on Africans… AGAIN!
  16. When a Moroccan 🇲🇦 girl who was already on a yellow committed a foul that should have received a second yellow, but it was past the 80th minute and France 🇫🇷 was leading 4-0, the USA ref gave the Moroccan player “the mom look” according to the announcers. This is acceptable referring at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
  17. That was the most physical half of soccer I have seen in any a World Cup since the 2010 Men’s World Cup Final when the Dutch were focused on breaking the Spanish flippers in half. I never saw any of “Orange Is The New Black”, but this was like a couple of prison gangs going at it on the prison yard without weapons and trying to make it seem clean enough that the prison guards don’t step in and start beating both groups with batons. The fact that Colombia’s left back looks like she was born and raised in prison and tattooed by every gang leader or over-amorous guard who has assaulted her may have something to do with it. Both teams could have at least 4 yellows from the stud raking and tackling and smacking and ankle wrenching that they’ve done in this thing. Will probably watch the second half later today. I’m tired.
  18. Both have managers who don’t know shit about substituting to keep players fresh. Both managers were among the worst in their respective World Cups.

    MLS 2023

    I love watching soccer while doing cardio because you get 45’+ blocks without commercials. In Argentina I would watch any televised match while exercising on a machine. ❤️Fútbol❤️ That is a sweet video. Must have been awesome to be there. I had to watch it on a 5’ x 10’ projection in a friend’s basement play room while sitting in one of those $8K massage chairs that you get to sample at the State Fair. When they first showed Messi getting ready to walk out from the tunnel with the standard local kid that all soccer matches have these days, one of my friend’s 9 year-old twins said: ”I think that I just saw ‘Wallace’.” We rewound, and sure enough, Messi’s local kid was a classmate of my friend’s kid at an over-privileged posh lower school in Dallas. But even though the twin took a photo of the projection of the game, it was t like being in the stadium to see Messi’s MLS debut in Texas. Suuuhhhhwwwweeeetttt!!!

    That really should be the O/U any year. You’re basically asking: Will the manager last the full season? …or… Will the manager get sacked, a replace manager will take charge for 1 to 5 matches, and then at least one Official New Manager will be hired for “the rest of the season”? I don’t think that simply having 2 managers is really even an option.
  21. Kind of like Paxton Pomykal last night against Inter Miami in his home stadium of the club where he signed a home grown contract over half a decade ago, except that Pomykal was the only miss. And he’s in his mid 20s and Dallas hasn’t won shit in their history (except maybe a U.S. Open Cup). Time stamped at Pomykal’s miss.
