my friend just sent me something happening on twitter i am crying laughing. get the fuck outta here man lol
Not sure why everybody is getting so worked up about this. Just because Trump is eligible to play now doesn’t mean he’s going to start or even come off the bench. He has to earn his spot in training just like everybody else!!
Isn’t that just what VAR does? That just sounds like we’re establishing precedent that FIFA can step in and overturn video review decisions based on reading the room and vibes and stuff. Can we go back and award Croatia that goal too?
Pretty impressive they got this guy to take time out of being on every tv show ever made to play the manager of Bosnia and Herzegovinia
How you get this guys job where you just summarize a 5 minute video feature with the most obvious and fluffiest takeaway. “Well he certainly wants… to win.” “As you can see… his family… is proud of him.” “There’s no question. He worked hard to be here”
Look, this pizza is FINE. It's a great pizza for a regional American chain. But this pizza hasn't tested itself against the highest levels of pizza in Europe, so I'm not sure it should represent us in international competition when there are several more qualified pizzas being cooked in Belgium.
Gio Reyna vs Diego Luna is going to be a divisive decision, so I ran a statistical deep dive for my column: Spreadsheet Merchant sponsored by Draft Kings:
Come on Internazionale Miami. These people have stood by you for year! They’ve been there through the good times and the better times.
Kinda funny that with just three or four matches left there are four teams that could feasibly (tho obviously extraordinarily unlikely) wind up in Europe OR get relegated.
There was a brief 0.2 seconds after reading this, where I briefly became 12 years old again and just assumed it was true and of course Jr could play up top
I know a lot of people are going to be mad about this, but I could give a shit what they do during this fake ass season. Put in sin bins. Do kick-ins. Have 2 balls at once. Indirect free kicks instead of penalties, this is a great opportunity to lab all of that wacky shit out! people will watch!
you averaging 0.86 ppg over the last two seasons but congrats on that one guy liking your shirt
I’m not saying I have “exceptional” ball knowledge but many people are pointing out I did call this in August
Don't understand why some people are saying we've greatly overestimated the manager's role in a soccer organization.
