David De Gea stopped 2 penalties for Fiorentina against AC Milan yesterday in a 2-1 win. His treatment by United was shameful so I’m glad to see him doing well.

So goes Italy 🇮🇹, so goes Argentina 🇦🇷.

Organized crime and politicians. Where do you think the politicians get their “muscle” when they need it?

Nations league needs to get in the bin. Club World Cup needs to get in the bin. Carabao Cup needs to be Championship and lower teams.

Been very pleasantly surprised by Italy's gradual improvement under Spalletti.  Had France easily handled.  24' and we're up 2-0 on Belgium.  I'm still shell-shocked from our post-Euro collapse and the WC misses but its progress.

Yeah, tell me about it.  I got on a call with a customer and then saw a notification about a red card and a goal.  WTF.  No clue what happened...

[texasdago 7,553]

Oh FFS

3 Stuttgart starters for Die Mannschaft vs Bosnia & Herzegovina

 

[Mittens 8,196]

Hell yeah, baby!  Announcers just called Germany VfB Deutschland.  Love it!

I love this shit. A reason John Cena is on my Mount Rushmore of pro athletes is all the stuff he does for Make a Wish. 

[Mittens 8,196]

Yeah, that's good shit.

 

VfB Stuttgart have now scored all 3 goals for Die Mannschaft so far in Nations League play.  Leweling had 2, but the 1st was disallowed by VAR for the slimmest of offsides.

The worst penalty in soccer is when the attacking player nips in at the last tenth of a second when the opposing player is in possession and swinging a leg to clear the ball. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,000]

I guess I’m just not able to watch the Bundesliga. Soft penalties for both Leverkusen and Frankfurt in the first 15 minutes.

Is Pulisic currently playing better than any American player, ever?

 

I’d say yes.

Isn't leaving Chelsea ALWAYS the right move?

Yeah I'm pretty sure he is and I think it's a very short list you could even compare against him.

Oh. Um. 

Yes - to answer your question.

His corners have been amazing for Milan.

[Firemans4Horn 18,000]

Lewandowski is the most underrated player of his generation. 
 

bullshit he didn’t win the Balon D’Or during 2020.

Feel like doing a little gambling on the EPL today, so let's throw some shit at the wall and hope it sticks.

Mourinho is an amazing troll

[Firemans4Horn 18,000]

Osimhen in the Turkish league is funny. He is carving Spurs apart today.

Just popped in to see if anyone is watching Spain & Denmark and saw that daddy took away the car and the credit card. 

[beer 3,220]

Denmark gave Spain a good run at the end, but not enough... 2-1 final.
