  1. RARE beautiful service from Puli leads to a nice header attempt that gets saved but Weston is there to clean it up!!! Where was Ream positioned when Richards attempted the header?
  2. Nothing will ever top El Vampiro biting that dude on the shoulder and, after both go to ground, Luis is next shown holding his giant, capybara-sized incisors as if he were the one injured/fouled. It was peak shithousery. As far as we like to believe CONCACAF has come, CONMEBOL likes to remind us from time to time who the real masters are and how much more we could still learn from their examples. EDIT: And, yes, I know that happened for club, not country, but Suarez is a CONMEBOL product so it gets the credit.
  3. Do you, uh, "take a wide stance?" Asking for a former Idaho Senator.
  4. This ad is so bad it caused Toys "R" Us to declare bankruptcy and close all of its stores** several years before the commercial even existed. ** Now reincarnated as a subsidiary of an international conglomerate. But the OG Toys "R" Us is quite dead.
  5. Strategery, bruh. Those coddled, cool-weather Panamanians are about to be subjected to the sweltering heat and humidity of The ATL. They won't know what hit them!
  6. Except the ball appears to hit his hand first, then his face, then his hand again.
  7. That's a hard watch, man. "Back the Blue" folks will say the young man should've cooperated--and they'd have a point--but what about the 20 or so things that deputy could've done differently that would've resulted in him NOT fatally shooting someone who was not an imminent threat to anyone. And all for supposedly rolling through a stop sign. JFC.
  8. Fair points, fellas. Guess I was hasty in my judgment. And my frustration isn't so much wanting to win NOW cuz even in a best-case scenario, the team would still need a couple years of seasoning to come together (more of Castle doesn't have a reliable outside shot).
  9. Refs make mistakes all the time. So do dictators from Corsica. The key is to learn from them, but who am I kidding? You're probably plotting your next assault on common sense from an island resort as I type this.
  10. When the best ally you can get is North Korea, that should tell you something about your standing and what the rest of the world thinks of you.
  11. Irrelevant. Did Ecuador benefit from the handled ball? Absolutely. Ergo, penalty. And to reiterate, there was nothing natural or common about the Ecuadoran's hand position. He looked weird af on that play. Like why so high? To protect his face from the ball? Well, guess what, that's a penalty. LoL
  12. Don't like the trade at all. 2030 and 2031??? Wemby is the NOW. This is not the time to prepare for the NEXT next rebuild.
  13. All of this is flat-out wrong. Ecuador tried to clear the ball from their own area; Jamaican player raised his leg to bring the ball down and control it before it could leave the area. Another Ecuadoran rushes in to prevent this, raises his leg and raises his hand WELL ABOVE HIS SHOULDER in a way that was all but natural or common. Jamaican gets to the ball first, deflects it, ball then hits the Ecuadoran player in the hand, which is now WELL ABOVE HIS SHOULDER AND IN THE DIRECT PATH OF THE BALL, which hits his hand, then face, and then hand again. Absolutely a handball. Never seen a play like that NOT called a handball. Jamaica should've had the opportunity to equalize there. Summary: Nap, your eyesight and opinion are bad and you should feel bad.
  14. Well, that'll probably do it. Folks will see the 3-1 final score and the rigged decision to not award Jamaica a PK for the obvious handball will be forgotten. But if the handball had resulted in a PK and Jamaica equalized, very doubtful Ecuador has that breakaway opportunity. Domino effect, imo.
  15. Wanted to repeat my assertion that Knecht is worth a No.8 if he's still on the board. Gym rat/hard worker with decent size who loves to be coached. Think he'd be a great team player and have a decent career. Not superstar level, mind you, but a solid contributor (No.3 or sixth-man sparkplug) for many seasons.
  16. Me thinks da Reggae Boyz about to get a chance to equalize. Wow, that is very inconsistent refereeing there. Definitely some CONCACAF/CONMEBOL-level shithousing and fixing going on, imo. That was dodgy af.
  17. Score one for the Fighting Marleys.
  18. Euro is on hiatus for the next couple of days, Derka.
  19. LoL match referee not at all supporting the Portuguese snipers today.
  20. CR7 was definitely being held and therefore justified in disagreeing with the referee's decision. However, it's CR7 ... so fuck him and enjoy the caution, you chicken-necked bitch.
  21. Seems like Inka almost had a NowThis moment. Unfortunately, Inka is more interested in international football than pegging.
  22. Huh, what? Is someone expecting me to behave diligently? That might be recipe for disappointment and/or disaster.
  23. This is too believable to be parody. Have you been a closet ag all these years?
