Praise the Virgin of Lujan!

 

🙏🙏🙏

[WBT 20253]

Sigh of relief from Fox.  Almost Mexico out, USA out, and Messi out.

[Macklemore 2856]

I wish I was at NRG tonight. One of the biggest nights in Houston sports history.

[WBT 20253]

And they get the Venezuela/Canada winner next.  Colombia, Brazil, and Uruguay all on the other side of the bracket is nice.

[Napoleon 8580]

I’m in NYC and I see this…

I’m pretty sure this isn’t top 5. Maybe not even top 10.

Quarterfinal of the copa America? Maybe top 1000?

[Captain Ron 12719]

I was being generous. But seriously, 2 Rockets Titles*, 2 Astros titles, hosted 3 super bowls. At best you’re at 8th. And I didn’t count any hosted final fours, etc.

it’s also not really Houston sports history. It took place there, but it’s as though it’s a home team

This year, probably not. If we're talking the month of July....its a slow month, so its got a shot.

Tonight’s game is definitely in my top 10 biggest sporting event in Houston sports history. 2 NBA Finals clinching victory, 2017 WS game 5, 2022 WS Game 6, Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction Super Bowl, 2024 CFP national championship game, 2016 Final Four, UH-UCLA game of the century, Nolan Ryan’s 5th no hitter and the World Cup games in 2026 will be in top 10.

What about VY’s overtime sprint to the end zone his rookie year against the Texans after those motherfuckers didn’t draft him?

That’s in the Top 10 for sure. 

It was GLORIOUS!

[Derka 5639]

lol who blitzes VY in this situation?

I would wager that he reached the highest Top Speed in the NFL that season on that run.

He was flying!

[Napoleon 8580]

PS- A friend at the game recorded Dibu’s second PK stop in the shootout.

 

And then a photo of some fans’ flags.

I was there as a Texans season ticket holder decked out in burnt orange head to toe rooting for VY. I hated the pick of Mario Williams over VY.

It's probably in the top 2 Argentina Copa America games in Houston.  Probably.

Definitely behind the SF were Messi scored a free kick when they beat USA.

[Captain Ron 12719]

How a serious federation operates:

Ecuador lost last night, their coach was fired before the sun was up today.

This is 9 things, and you are primitively adding things to your list from 2026. How is last night's game in the top 10?

[Napoleon 8580]

Just need this posted again. 

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8789]

I bet this crowd is 98/2 Venezuela lol

[InkaUtexas 24932]

So then should be plenty of hotties in the stands.

[InkaUtexas 24932]

1-0 Canada

[MNLonghornFUKM 8789]

Hahaha let’s go

[Ted Lange 15934]

Goddamn hosers 

[YChang 3394]

Whoah, gotta score there Canada

[Jive Turkey 12383]

Should be 2-0 Canada.  This game is full of action. 

[ConferenceRoom 6076]

It realistically could have been 4-0 by now. 

[Buzzrock 14785]

I am entertained

[Chips O'Toole 1318]

Wtf, how did Canada only score 1 goal in group play again?  They are creating a ton of excellent chances. Venezuela's backline is a bit chaotic. 

[Buzzrock 14785]

This is a good one to show the “soccer is boring” crowd.

Ref has an unfortunate haircut.

[ConferenceRoom 6076]

Venezuela played themselves on that free kick. 

[ClubWhatever 12066]

This game has been wildly entertaining

It’s a shame that we never had a chance to hire the Canadian coach. 

[Buzzrock 14785]

Shit is bananas

[Napoleon 8580]

Venezuelan player shoulder shoved the Canadian away and extended his arm.
