I mean the NBA had a moment of silence before game 5.

Things that explode are indeed explosives.

From what I’ve been told by a close friend who lived in Turkey for a while, and who has been to stadiums with - let’s say - questionable fan activity, it’s common for a lot of these flares to be homemade and as small as a cell phone. And considering one of them actually exploded on the field, I’m inclined to believe…

“Boring communist euroball.”

Oh it totally CAN happen. I would just say the US somehow pulling off a lucky/hard fought/one goal margin of victory over Argentina is a safer bet than losing by 4+.

I’ll take that bet. Say what you want about the US, they very rarely get their asses kicked by more than 1 or 2 goals in major tournaments.

Yeah I think you and I are just taking a different route to ultimately saying the same thing. I was hit with some shade when, after it was determined that we won the group, I said a lot of the reason for that was due to circumstances out of our control - aka Colombia taking Costa Rica too lightly and getting bit in…

I don’t disagree with anything you said.

Pretty much correct. And as a Liverpool fan, I love that he was saddled next to Suarez and a healthy Sturridge for his “breakout” season. It’s very rare for me to be able to say this considering the club I follow, but thank you very much for the money. You can have him.

I wouldn’t say it’s pretentious to use the plural, but it definitely is when people bitch about it not being used.

That’s what I was thinking as well. I can’t imagine the linesman having a good enough view from so far away, and all the center ref can really do is look over and see if the flag is raised. But hey, better lucky than good sometimes.

Haha wut

I was going to offer my own opinion, but it would pretty much mirror everything you said.

A lot of us do, thanks!

To be fair, digging around and then smelling your Black Forest is the German equivalent of clicking your heels three times to go home.

At the risk of over-hyping one singular moment, that defending on the counter was fucking RIGHTEOUS. For anyone learning how to play central defense, you are going to come across this very scenario many times and a lot of people would shit themselves. The impressive part to me was how he positioned himself as they…

My comment was directed towards the idea that there was a stark contrast in belief of what this team is capable of, specifically the “we are fucked” a few months ago to “hey, we can maybe win this thing!” now.

Vacations to the Galapagos ain’t cheap

Probably?

It’s probably (definitely) the hair, but all I can think when I see him play is “why aren’t you even a B-version of Pogba?”
