Desperately trying to figure out how to have a winless season and yet two teams still finished below me.
"Vocabulary: team, head, loses" This is diabolical. We've learned that the "team" is ready to chuck aside their guy Jeff without a second thought, despite being hit in the "head" and suffering a traumatic brain injury. But the real takeaway here is that everyone suffering through this book "loses."
A scoreboard has appeared behind the hockey goal. It is counting DOWN the time remaining. Despite Amy now being on the field, the Cubs have decided to play a man-down. The GK, wearing motorcycle gloves, hasn't moved in the time it took for them to install the scoreboard, so this an easy goal for Amy
I take it back: worst ref of all time. Bro finally gets out the rule book for the first time and wants to be heralded as a hero just because he knows how to read and isn't as sexist as the rest of the crowd.Why are you standing on the bench? Are you really that much shorter than a bunch of kids? Sus
The ref thought he came to ref a rec basketball game, and now he's on a hill of grass with no lines trying to referee a soccer game, and now these children are screaming in his year. Honestly, I'm starting to feel sorry for him.
Time out!?!? Does nobody in this league/dimension know that unless FOX has time to run a 90 second ad that there are no timeouts in soccer? Why is the doctor massaging Jeff's head? Why did he bring a stethoscope? Big stranger danger vibes here.
Two things to note. 1) the size of the goal has shrunk considerably. I think it has been replaced with a hockey goal? 2) Jeff is clearly concussed. And speaking of other sports, we finally meet the antagonist of this story, the referee, who clearly came to referee a basketball game, not soccer.
Page one. Wtf is happening here? Why are there no lines on the field? It's 5v5? Did #7 come from picking flowers behind the goal? Is the kid in the bottom left running to a field with soccer lines? I know they say the GK should never get beat at the near post, but this one is clearly over-correcting
Picked up a soccer book for my 20 month old from a local used bookstore this weekend in the spirit of the World Cup. And let me tell you, it is a crime against the sport. Don't let this fun looking cover fool you, as it did me. I'm opposed to book burning in general, except for this specific book.
I come upon this graph every six months or so and it pisses me off anew every time.
Guys, UAW has been advocating for more auto tariffs for literally decades.
Did mine before looking at Eliot's. Tried to do Joe-Max Moore but couldn't get him to pop up in the drop-down! Also, Jay Demerit is looking great for his age.
