weak effort

Just start driving for Uber - what’s the big deal?

I’ve flown Aeroflot recently. They have great service and pretty new planes.

Just shows you how little a coach can do in the world cup. At least in club teams you can choreograph some sort of a philosophy, like Klopp’s gegenpressing or Barca’s tiki-taka. But in the World Cup, the coach has 3 weeks to get his guys ready. That means, just pick the best 11, practice some set pieces, and motivate…

#2 on that list was the player of the tournament for me. KDB is amazing. Hazard gets a lot of fanfare - but he does not know how to pass. But KDB’s passes are sublime & incisive. And he knows how to finish. 

What’s wrong with Russia? Check your prejudices.

Pulisic could have played for this Croatia side.

Dude is an athletic beast. Just a tireless runner up & down the flank. 

Yeah that was very odd. I guess the coach saw that they were creating chances and did not want to break up the rythm. Or maybe he thinks that the Croatian bench is inferior to even tired players like Mandzukic, Strinic, Vrsajlko. Weird because Kramaric and Kovacic are good players too. 

Home of the Tinshan Swimming Pool, it’s length 30 meter and width 6 meter!

The title is premature. England still have the chance to lose to Belgium for the second time before they go home. 

There’s always the debate in football - what matters more - winning or playing Beautifully. I believe it was Johan Cryuff who said something like I’d rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0. 

Absolutely - getting $100M for a 33year old players is a sweet deal. I can’t believe Juve would spend that kind of money on a player who will inevitably ride the bench in 3-4 years. Should have invested it into young guns. Pay $20M for 5 young promising players and hope that one of them becomes the next Ronaldo -…

How about that fake 3rd goal in extra time, 1966. 

Yeah I realize I’m trying to boil the ocean here. Most people won’t ever change their biased views. But hey, I have some time to kill.

I realize you have the memory of a fish, but maybe try to hit the books a little bit and brush up on events that happened before Obama or Putin. 

Excited for England vs. France matchup..... for 3rd place!

Maybe don’t interfere in theirs first.

Cheryshev & Fernandes should get picked up by bigger clubs now. CSKA won’t release Golovin, I think, although it would be nice to see more Russian players at bigger European clubs. It’s remarkable that a nation like Croatia can have players at top clubs in the best European leagues, but in Russia, where soccer is no…

And Pulisic is sitting at home twiddling his thumbs.
