2026 FIFA World Cup

[Sanomoe]

Congo always reminds me of their team Mazembe, who defeated our Internacional in 2010 World Club Cup in the semifinals

There's certainly not a lack of excitement in this tournament.

I was playing Rune Factory Special 4 most of this night, but the one time I put the game on b/t USA and Bosnia & Herzog there was a USA goal and a injury to their player and I missed it all because I went out to the kitchen for five minutes. Anyways looks like USA should pull this out getting that free kick was huge, though there is still some penalty/stoppage time left.

I watched the Netherlands and Morocco do penalty kicks post overtime one night because I couldn't sleep so I was like Futbol shootout. Oh I think Bos-Herz had a really great chance there. Anyhow. I never got that into soccer, but there definitely is a bit more fever since the mens USA team since to be more attacking based this World Cup visit as opposed to their usual "hang back and hope for mistakes" strategy.

Also I wanted to put this in the original post, but I'll just edit it, hey it's two countries(?) vs one nation I dunno how fair that is ;P :D Heh heh!

Given the - extremely - stressing nature of this tournament, I have come up with a neat little strategy to make it a little more bearable: pretending it's baseball and quoting "Major League" ad-nauseum!

(When they make a substitution I don't like): "HE WANTS A RIGHTY! THE VILE THING!".

(When a player half-asses it): "Come on, Dorn! Get in front of the damn ball! Don't give me this 'Olé' bullshit!".

(When the broadcast team talks about a player's personal struggles): "I'm deeply moved".

(When someone messes up royally): "This guy will be packing groceries in two weeks".

(When someone starts a brawl in a losing effort): "About time. It's only eight-nothing".

(When someone misses a shot by a country mile): "Juuuust a bit outside".

Etc xD

I say something very similar
Like when someone misses I like to say: "dude the goal isn't in the moon"
Or when the referee do a polemical decision "to steal from the government"

But my favorite is when a player is pretending a foul "naaaah, you need eat more soup"

Funny slightly un-related but I was on Reddit one night (I guess it depends where you go but my anxiety is weird). I don't think Reddit is bad per se. One of the topics on the official Depeche Mode place was songs that sound like the sport American Football. I think the user was trying to troll everyone, it was such a fun topic though. As just a quick example, one I remember was "Clean" for a possible roughing the passer moment, but no it was a clean hit. I came up with I forget, now I had some really creative ones too. Now just looking at their songs on my media portable player that happens to be a phone. "Question of Time" is the only one I see, as are there enough timeouts. I likely leveraged on some newer and really old songs.

Maybe some people here know soccer/futbol really well and can pick the band of their choice and come up with some humorous stuff. Oh hey Samantha, I know of Major League. And hey without sports, there's be nothing to talk about ;) .... A old tagline on a local sports talk station here. Also the local station would hilariously have random drafts when our local teams sucked. President draft, meat draft, band draft etc. Ok I apologize I sidetracked this some.

I can talk a little current world cup though all my knowledge is from The Herd and Pardon the Interruption. They do have people there that really care about soccer!

Senegal is on fire

WTF

I left the game with Senegal leading 0-2.
And today I wake up and see that Belgium came back to win 3-2

 

[lordcyrus]

Hope Solo arises from the dead for real. I was also thinking. The fucking Herd got me into the womans team 15 years ago. The Herd band D-Mac and comp. That commercial, was dumb, They can't be Spain and all...lol I didn't know how aggressive the team was anyhow. Look up stuff. But hah Hope Solo rules and Alex Morgan, Rose Lavelle etc. Back then.

I just remember how Hope Solo was a renegade.

There was nothing they could do.

They were completely captivated by Oyarzabal's beauty.
