How're the wife and kids

Baseball was slow with the Giants being crappy so I finally started to watch soccer this summer. Watched a lot of Eurocup and Copa. Starting to get into it. Gonna be going for Liverpool once premier starts again.

I feel like you caught two pretty weak editions, especially the Copa is non-existent right now (no great teams).

The last WC Final however..


liverpool is a charming club. Good choice.

Jeff you better not nuke the previous threads

I've never had any interest in soccer at all. Never watched a game.

However I decided to watch the Beckham documentary on Netflix since it got good reviews. It was very well done. I didn't realize just how much he'd been through. Victoria was great too. Being one of the most famous couples in the world they still come across as very likeable.

A+

Cheapest tickets for TFC vs NY Red Bulls tonight are less than $20.

Cheapest tickets for TFC vs Inter Miami, with or without Messi, this Saturday are at least $200.

:ohwell:

Barca playing really well with our young talent but afraid that Real is just too stacked and will win the league at the end.

Madrid :roll:

Atalanata is on a heater and cdk is ballin right now.

Champions League knockout stages just kicked off...

Real Madrid vs. Atetico Madrid is a good one.

R16 Derby.


Real already up 1-0.

Real and Liverpool are the title favs.

Atletico is impressive...


champs might go out here. Not today of course, but this stage.

I think im done with football.


The corruption knows no bounds.

They turned a successful penalty into a miss cause of a slip... ahaha

Its a weird feeling seeing a daylight robbery like that.

All the functions and institutions and structures of the most publicized events in the world, there to maintain and uphold the integrity of professional sport, to just be swept aside in a second...

It feels like something was taken from me.

What was the illusion?

What was the time spent and attention for, if matches can be decided like that?

I can no longer trust this organization. This sport.

Events are decided at random.

Its the same gaping feeling I had after a recent sporting event.

Or after the 2018 Finals Game 1.


When a match of monumental meaning just comes down to, men in suits or the footsoldiers deciding on an outcome.


"There it is! They ****ed us. Again. They ruined it all.."


Sports was once a meritocracy to me.


An place to see competition and justice in its purest form.


Instead, the rulers of this practice prefer to make major decisions with the least amount of transparency ever.

Yea Atletico got robbed hard. Hate *** Real Madrid with a passion. As long as someone takes out these frauds who are constantly getting referee help. It's become kind of accepted in Europe that Real will always get the calls. So sad...

And this was beyond a bad call.


This was a next level disgrace the likes of which should spurn a revolution.


There should be protests.


Has Atletico filed a complaint or something?

This cant be the way.

Madrid Arsenal is going to be fun. Madrid just turns into world beaters once they hit the KO stages of the CL.

More like they simply have the most stacked and deepest team in the world.

Arsenal crushed those divas 3-0. Hope they finish it next week!

Real is finished indeed.

Feels like they win every close tie lol, so you have to bury them like this.

2 GOAT level freekicks within 12 minutes help do the trick.

Atletico has to be feeling good about this :lol

[QUOTE]Rice had gone 338 games without scoring a free-kick, and Arsenal almost four years. Then two came along in 12 minutes on a magical night at the Emirates[/QUOTE]

Wasn't expecting that result. Hopefully they close it out next game.
