Don’t forget Nazis

I always love where the S American countries call the other ones Nazi harborers.

 Lets just forget where Mengele, Stangl and Gregory Peck were hanging out after the war.

[Hank_Hill 18791]

Right? They literally housed 95 Hitler clones after all.

Tons of Nazis slithered into the USA and lived out their lives. Others were tracked down in their 70s, 80s, or maybe even 90s.

The Nazi finger-pointing is tired. 
 

That said, I went to one of the most famous hidden Nazi villages my first year in Argentina on a trip to the province of Córdoba- La Cumbrecita.

When I returned to Buenos Aires, I was explaining where we went to the mother/owner of the flat where I was living at the time. (Older couple with grown kids and about 6-8 study abroad/language institute students.) That’s when she said-

“When your government is hiding you, no one is going to find you.”

This was in response to my describing the village under tree cover in a tiny valley with a waterfall / water source that was built under a canopy of trees. Nazi hunting search groups would fly over thousands of square miles of tree tops looking for signs of activity that would take 1 to 3 days to reach by hailing and/or horseback.

Korea after that ass whooping

I have some really fun Nazi/South American stories for another time/thread.  

We still have (very) extended family in Barcelos, Portugal.  My cousin who lives half the year in Lisbon informs me this morning (to be fair, lunchtime for them), that she and her fiance are hammered drunk, and may not make it awake to watch the match versus Switzerland.  Her rationale is that the entire country is fucked up right now and nobody is at work.  Sounds about right.  And of course, they're all planning to sober up for what should be a Qatar Quarter with Espana.  

Could have 6 Euro squads in the Quarters within 9 hours from now.

Going to find a bar in Seville to watch Spain-Morocco. Hoping the Moroccans don't burn down the town if they win.

Well, it's not gonna be exactly like last time.  

Haven't been to Sevilla in a long, long time.  But I love that town.  csb/ Last time I was there, I got shitfaced with Longhorn Center-Chris Mihm.  

Really hoping we get an Iberian Hysterian matchup from today's knockouts.

Love Spain’s Oiler blue kits 

[Longboard Horn 40293]

Doesn't look like Spain at all. It's Morocco vs North Carolina or Morocco vs the Houston Oilers 

[kingkoopa6 8345]

I see 

Christmas N. Polers v  NYCFC

[HenryJames 66037]

Morocco playing well.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Huge save(s)

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

Spain channeling their inner Lukaku

[HenryJames 66037]

Offsides but that was a great play by the Moroccan defender.

They look like City. I'm rooting for Morocco. 

[GopherRock 1765]

Morocco with a nice sequence in the 30th. They're doing what the US should have been doing: get the ball on net when they can.

[WBT 20561]

Yeah, this pale blue isn't Spain at all.  Why aren't they wearing these?

Spain playing like a bunch of little old ladies so far.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

This crowd would explode in orgasmic energy if Morocco score

[Blotto 23487]

Get in that ass, Morocco. 

[GopherRock 1765]

Morocco going hard in the paint trying to get a lead going into the break.

[HenryJames 66037]

Really like the Moroccan midfield.

[WBT 20561]

Nice dummy but it also fooled his teammate

Typical Spain. 2,000 passes that look awesome that end in nothing.

[Napoleon 8660]

That Moroccan #17 on the left wing is pure filth. 

He’s giving off Ronaldinho/Neymar Jr vibes… and he plays for RANGERS! 🤯 He is making Spain’s right side look like school boys. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he transferred somewhere next month, but he is definitely gone by this summer. 

[pacman 7355]

amazing game. credit to morocco

Spain in possession are looking like the US against NED

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

Spain trying extra hard for the floppage PK

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Morocco is going to pull this out.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

fantastic individual effort by Morata, perfect cross at the 1 foot line.... not a single ESP player anywhere near the front of the net to tap in a sure goal.

[HenryJames 66037]

 

[WBT 20561]

Spain is about to fuck around and find themselves in pks again

[WBT 20561]

Damn, Nico has to get a touch on that

[Macklemore 2876]

Come on let’s win it here before PKs please Spain

[tokamak 6391]

Morocco ain't no chumps. Looking at their roster, it's a bunch of dudes playing for strong European clubs.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

It almost looks like Spain is playing for PKs.... they have had a few attacks, but they havent been that aggressive since the 60th min or so

[tokamak 6391]

Offside anyway but that Moroccan dude just finished that breakaway about like I would have

[InkaUtexas 25859]

Invisible snipers are winning today.

538 win probability graphic is a good illustration of why that's a big mistake for the better team (like Spain, in this instance)

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

I will say this... The Moroccans are in excellent shape.  multiple times in the last 15 mins or so, Spain has had a mini break and its not 3 on 3.... its 3 Spain players against 5,6,7  Morocco players

[tokamak 6391]

Simon saves Spain's life

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Get the fuck up, Morata.

[Napoleon 8660]

I predicted Spain to win, but I’m pulling for Morocco. 

[kingkoopa6 8345]

Im down for chaos, fuck it. lets go morocco !

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

SHOOT THE BALL

Dude looks like me running around his weak foot
