    Xavi Simons scoring a goal would have been pretty cool since he has been a player people have known about since he was 12 or 13.

    We need an overhead angle to see how far away the Dutch guy was. Booooooo!!!!!
  3. So they are giving the tickets away at this point. Cheap Seats are $70 from Ticketmaster or whatever the official tickets are, but I think that StubHub tickets are now down to $50 for the cheapest seats. May want to buy tickets Sunday afternoon.

    KatFid is off the hook and from now on, “Landon” or “Donovan” will be the new name for people who can’t tell people apart.

    It is ALWAYS intentional. When the announcers say “It didn’t appear to be intentional.” I always repeat “It was absolutely fucking intentional!” Perhaps the announcers are instructed to say that, but ones who used to play know that it’s always intentional and I’m fairly certain that every announcer who didn’t play knows as well. Pimping? Drug dealing? Roofie aided theft?* I have cousins who live in Vegas, another friend lived there for a decade or so because his wife was working international relations with WYNN (went to Macau frequently because she speaks Portuguese), but I would not want to live there. *a friend got roofied at a casino in New Orleans by a couple and they took him to an ATM where he withdrew his limit and then went on a shopping spree at a Walmart where he spent over $1,000 and he didn’t remember any of it. Supposedly there is some drug that leaves you completely susceptible to agreeing with whatever another person suggests.
  6. I still don’t think that this would have been a goal if he didn’t sky it. I think that the shot would have been blocked and gone back behind Wondo or out for a corner. But that does appear to be a Big Chance.
  7. Found this in the wee hours of the night. I have no idea whether there is a difference between a Shot On Goal and a “Big Chance”, because they appear to match up. Anyway, it was the xG that I found surprising. I can’t believe that with all of those breakaways, Argentina still didn’t have at least a 3.0 xG. I felt that Canada’s xG would be over 1.0, and it was. Their setup put them in positions to score, so Marsch’s set should have brought them their first goal, but the finishing by Canada & Emi Martinez’s golden gloves kept Canada out of the goal.

    Under this, or right after it, or something… The English are all so educated & posh.
  10. Men’s Top 4: Taylor Fritz Tommy Paul Ben Shelton Korda or Tiafoe* *depending on position the Monday after the French Open Final. Korda OR Tiafoe, but not both. My guess is that these opt outs are due to: 1) The Surface 2) No Prize Money 3) Losing Out On REST/RANKINGS POINTS. With Da’ Bitches, everyone is playing for Silver & Bronze, unless you meet up with Iga before the Semis. I was hoping that Navarro would edge out Keys, but Madison had a very solid clay court season. Maybe she has played the Olympics before, but this is his last chance to play them. She won’t make the 2028 LA roster. I think that you won’t see any American opt outs four years from now.
  11. Stu Holden is watching knee-to-knee contact and thinks that it is a little bit of a touch on his ankle. What a fucking REGARD!
  12. Emi’s ball control looks like a guy who used to play in the field. He is calm, never freaks out. He’s like the polar opposite of the USA keepers. Not just Turner. Zack Steffen also sucks with the ball at his feet no matter how many times announcers say that he’s good with the ball at his feet. No idea on Horvath, but I don’t recall anything but Spaz Boy ball control.

    Pretty much. Italy had some shots from the edge of the box that looked like they didn’t get within 5 feet of the cross bar. Spain could have had 3 or 4 and Italy could have had one.
  14. Saudi Arabia has an xG of 0.15 in that game and scored 2 goals. It was pure luck. And below it…
  15. Just wondering if Carli Lloyd is the granddaughter of Karl Malden.

    They have never had the comparative talent level that they have now. Barry Switzer went to the NFC Championship game his first year and then won a Super Bowl his second year with the Dallas Cowboys. England have underachieved vs talent level since Southgate has been manager (Not that I mind.)
  17. About 2 seconds before the Italian LWB fell to the ground (about 3-4 minutes ago) I thought- “Italy is about to take a dive, because they can’t get the ball out.” [beat] [beat] [DIVE] Two seconds. Why the refs reward that shit with a whistle is beyond me.
  18. Italy trying to take back the European Diving Champion 🥇 back from Spain after the Iberians have held it for the last 15 years.
  19. Maybe she was listing two of the best native-English-speaking players in the world right now. If that’s the case, then those are 2 of the top 10, I would say. VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO !! 🇦🇷

    Southgate is proving that it “can be done on both sides of the Atlantic”.
  21. In other news, Álcaraz lost early at Queens while Sinner needed 3 sets in Germany.
  22. I wonder if the tournament being on clay has anything that I do with it. The best you can do is stand on the podium as the Polish anthem is played.

    Sounds like something that the Serbs would do. 👀

    Totally unrelated, but with with Spain 🇪🇸 and Argentina 🇦🇷 both playing today, this cracked me up.
