I fucking hate those people.

You know there is going to be a handful of athletes who get a terrible illness or disease from this who will get a sorrowful long-form written about them. Do we all agree to not feel any sorrow for them considering these are the risks going in? It’d be like mourning a guy who jumped on the subway tracks to pick up his…

The dust settled, Jim... They were all on steroids.

At least they’re going for it. Buffon, Barzagli, Chiellini don’t have many miles left. Marchisio, Khedira, Evra, Alves as well. Juve will have to rebuild soon and will probably do so after selling Pogba, which I believe will happen next season now.

Why?

Come on! Semi’s are usually nervy tepid affairs. This one had some back and forth action with Bale unleashing some wicked shots. Ronaldo had some great shots as well. Portugal are playing with two wingers up front and 4 midfielders. The final will prove if it is a legit tactical set up or not.

You can make a strong case for a team needing only 3-4 key players to move on. Wales are Ashley Williams, Bale, Ramsey, and a little guile. Portugal have had Pepe, Sanches, Ronaldo. The schedule has been favorable too which weakens my argument.

Eh. I believe Pepe is the reason they are there. He wins so many balls. Hate the guy, but damn if he hasn’t taken over the entire defense.
