Anyone checked on Billy?

Maybe they should’ve scheduled it so they’d arrive before halftime.

The same player who literally could not kick a ball into the penalty area on command is now playing and scoring regularly for the greatest national team of this generation. It is infuriating to watch, and that’s coming from someone who still roots for Ryan Babel and Jonjo Shelvey.

3 of the 4 you mentioned are retired, both Lampard and Kaka were signed over 3 years ago, and Cole is a non-DP player on a $350,000-a-year contract, so he doesn’t really fit the retirement tour model. Not entirely sure what you were going for there.

Except it’s really not.

No, it really isn’t. They’ve done a really good job of coming away from that, and giving DP money to players in their prime.

Tough draw for United.

Red Bull has 2 teams in the quarterfinals of Europa League. Oil money buys you Champions League spots. Energy drink money get you Europa.

What is the deal with toy unboxing videos? Why is that a thing?

One of my favorite stories is how Giant Bomb’s Vinny Caravella never takes his Switch out of the dock, because once his kids know it can be played as a handheld, that’s all they will ever want to do.

It’s not the Statue of Liberty. It’s an homage to the worst Weeping Angel story.

EXDEATH APPROVES.

Those players play for their college team as well as training with their academy. There’s a 99% chance that any of the players from that academy roster that you linked that are good enough to play in MLS will be signed to a HGP contract instead of going through the draft. The draft is borderline irrelevant. These days…

Every post you make hurts your own argument. Who do you think plays on a U23 team? Players not good enough for the real team. The best players go from youth academies (U-17 generally) to the team. Players that aren’t as good go to college.

She’s the only one in the relationship that can hit the net with regularity.

I’ll never not wear my Stevie G. Shit is timeless.

I neglected to mention for the sake of the story that I bought a Mane last year, which along with my Suarez are the only two that I still can wear. I thought about putting tape over the ‘Sterl’, and then adding an ‘s’ to make an ‘ings’ jersey, but by the sounds of it, that won’t be pertinent much longer, either!

Haha, I kind of suspected you were a grad. I am, too. Unfortunately, expecting losses has become a way of life for Illinois fans, as I’m sure you know.  I agreed with your initial take, but was pleasantly surprised by the win.

I’ve been following the 10K Runner ap, which has been really helpful up until the last week and a half (stomach flu + holidays). I’ve gone from just walking to run/walking for up to 80 minutes, and straight up running for 40.
