Fuckin worst lineup and subs

Except for St Tim Howard

klinsy poo strikes again

I found out that brooks and Johnson are semi-injured

Which explains the massive defensive hole

Fucking Besler lol

Talent gap is talent gap

eta: who da fuck is orozco

mosco

He that ninja who shoved that pussy ass Colombian flopper right in front of the ref. I say he earned his slot for that alone.

He's a dumb dipshit ha ha--
Send him back to Tijuana

Well we went from 0-2 to 0-1 so an improvement

And with 2 massive defense losses

I say Klinsi knows more than the 2 of us

Applause

& viva St. Tim

its not that i think i know more than Klinsmann so much as i don't think he is doing what even he knows is best

i think to squeeze a 1-goal defeat from colombia with your 2 best defenders injured is a great achievement.

of course with fat guzan it would have been a 5-0 win for colombia. but hey, whatever works i say.

catching a bit of slovakia-germany. looks like a seriously one-sided thing. poor slovakia!

but im glad to see gomez scoring goals again. it's been ages.

and what a monster boateng has become over the years. i think pep was actually very good for him.

di maria is back! argentina champion?

???

This fucking shit Brazilian ref is all kinds of shit. Someone shoot him dead.

Well deserved Chilean win!!!

haha messi what a spoiled little bitchm gonna quit at 29 because keep losing? how about actually try to win it instead of pouting

and if iceland beats England Ronaldo gonna look like a buster too

that was FUCKED UP

and first i thought mascherano & co. should give him a beatdown while he sleeps

but then i heard that mascherano too is quitting, as well as others. mascherano is a fucking boss and wouldn't puss out for no reason. so apparently it has to do with their soccer federation being a corrupt shithole and something else.

more news @ 11


ronaldo? you mean rooney?

2 brexits in 1 week, fucked up.

i didn't see that game because watched ITALY VS. SPAIN instead.

which was awesome.

next match is italy vs germany. these brackets are fucked up! that should have been the final most likely and now they'll nuke each other out in quarterfinals. SO WRONG.

ps- conte rules. an involuntary pun this, almost. but holy shit italy.

no i mean ronaldo.

OOOOOH! YAS!

i remember his crybaby cries now

i missed but holy shit for real?

the more i think about it the more i don't like the Euro model for sports. elementary school kids are too young to be groomed for professional athletics. high school kids shouldn't be more or less professionals. its sad enough how many kids are getting injured in the increasingly professionalized school athletics programs in US sports. i don't want to see American kids fall into pro futbol leagues. id rather US just not be as competitive.

jackie chan started training with the chinese opera when he was like 6. great violinists or pianists start training when they're about the same age-- earlier even. same with ballet dancers. gymnasts, fuggedaboutit.

6 is not a stupid age. your brain is ready to take on the whole world and learn, learn, learn. but too many 6 year old kids in america are stupefied by tv and potato chips. thank fuck for video games that at least teach eye-hand coordination.

anyway, this futbol learning doesn't have to be in an academy setting. a lot of poor and hungry 3rd world kids pick up these skills in the streets withouth ever seeing a trainer.

basketball or american football are easier to learn because they're played mainly with the hands. hands are used all day. it comes naturally to throw a rock, or a baseball, and to run.

but to control a fast large fast ball with the fucking feet is fucking unnatural. to run with a ball in front of your feet and dribble is also unnatural. it's not easy to learn. it can't really be explained-- it takes a lot of practice. but it's what many kids will do during school recess, and after school, and on weekends, all fucking day, in parks and streets and beaches and birthday parties. so kids who like to play get a ton of practice.

part of the problem in the US i think is that the street game gets taken over by moms and coaches. and the coaches are shitty-- instead of teaching them to stop the ball, and to control it, and to fool the opponents, they teach them to kick and run and kick and run. that makes for great runners!

moreover, instead of games being a place where you get away from school and teachers and parents (like street basketball is here), it's a fucking hellhole full of annoying helicopter parents. what freak kid wants to be supervised by adults all day? ufffffff! fuck that shit, ha ha ha.
