zardes is the soccer equivalent of the wide receiver “stone hands” from the movie neccessary roughness. speed out the wazzou but can’t control a ball to save his life.

zardes has the worst touch of anyone on the team at the moment. does he seem like the soccer equivalent of “stone hands” from the football movie Necessary Roughness? stone feet zardes?

deuce doesn’t run enough to be a midfielder anymore. also, i don’t think he passed that ball to jones for his goal, it honestly looked more like he took a heavy touch while dribbling and lost it and jones just happened to be there.

midfield and attack are stacked. the center of their defense is probably their weakest point because of all the injuries. they do have a lot of quality youth there but it doesn’t look like they will use it this tournament. should be a strength by the next world cup or european championships though.

circumcision started in mainstream to stop masturbation. yet we still perform it.

don’t they have a “fit and proper persons” protocol now in england to vet new owners to prevent more owners like birmingham city’s owner? some odd claims here they are trying to pass off as “miscommunications.

not really the case with the scandinavian language branch. swedish sounds kind of bouncy. norwegian is very pretty and flowing. danish sounds the same as norwegian on it sounds like they are speaking with a small potato stuck in their throat. icelandic is essentially a slightly updated version of old norse. i guess it…

sólstafir is another good icelandic band to listen to. often called a heavy metal version of sigur rós.

þ is called a “thorn” it is pronounced as TH. it was apart of the english language (likely from the large population of vikings that invaded and settled in england, they are usually considered founders of any city in England ending in -by like Derby) until the invention of the printing press. the printing press was…

i think this makes 19 straight. because back then only the top 2 went to champions league and arsenal finished third on goal difference in wenger’s first season.

per aftenposten.no and indre.no the guy who was on the receiving end of the tackle was a 15 year old kid named marius kolstad. they seem to say that there is nothing broken but may have damage to the knee ligaments and the meniscus. swelling in knee must go down before they can be sure though.

pep’s bayern team had difficulty against reactive teams with lots of talent like atletico. against klopp’s dortmund team they ended all square at 4 wins a piece. pep even resorted to playing long ball and just having bayern boot the ball down field to relieve the pressure dortmund was applying in their first couple of…

valbeuna is 5'4" to 5'6" depending what source you find. and i am now imagining him intimidating the french webster.

its not that martinez is out of his depth. he does advocate pretty football. but he just does not either seem to care about how to defend or know how to coach it. he seems to want to play defense by either outscoring teams or by dominating possession.

this incident looks a lot like germany’s toni schumacher taking out france’s patrick battiston during the semi-final of the 1982 world cup.

the relationship between the two teams used to be a lot better. not sure if it was a gradual separation or if there was a set point that soured it.

the snow white in snow white and the seven dwarves and the snow white in snow white & rose red are totally unrelated. their names are different in german but both translate into snow white in english.

south carolina should have gotten in over vanderbilt. vandy did play a stronger non-conference schedule but lost all the tough games including against south carolina.

it kind of looks like beheaded johnny five from short circuit, gave him horns, and mounted it to the engine. they didn’t put a hood on the car in order to inspire fear in other robots.

they had a documentary on the henry viii of england and they spent a portion of it discussing his diet. europeans had begun to go to the americas by that point but the foods hadn’t really come back. the diet was pretty gross. lots of weird gelatins were the rage of the day.
