cubbymark Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Not the worst idea in the world to run up the score for US to improve what was a disastrous goal differential prior to today.
Cristobal Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I wouldn't mind "seis a cero" becoming a thing.
RIPPA Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Shocker it is Fozzie who starts everyone using the wrong thread... 1
SirFozzie Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Hmph. I'm just bringing the happiness to alternate facts, er.. threads. 1
Roman Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It's about time they sacked Blind. Of course, with the two morons in charge of the Dutch national team, heaven knows what they'll dredge up to replace him. My money's on de Boer because he's free and he did well at Ajax... although I'd love to see van Gaal back, even if that's mainly for his insane antics. Pretty sad to see the state of the Dutch team. They missed out on the European Championship, and now most likely the World Cup too.
Death From Above Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I haven't followed the qualifying super closely but it seems like the Dutch team has been using an inordinately high number of players 22 and under in their senior national team for no real definable reason. Sure a lot of them are top prospects but you can't throw a kid's team into a man's competition and not expect trouble, surely.
Roman Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Ah, Belgium. You never fail to live up to my expectations of being really disappointing in so many aspects.
SirFozzie Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 It's funny how Rippa chides me (rightfully) for dragging everyone over to this thread from the World Cup thread, and everyone just keeps posting in this thread. The inertial mass of DVDVR posting is large. (Insert your own joke here) 1
Sky Blue Sam Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Normally this time of year is when I get jealous as half my Twitter feed seems to be flocking to WrestleMania and checking out loads of shows in the area. This year, however, Mania Sunday is going to have to take a backseat, as somehow, the worst Coventry City team of my lifetime is going to Wembley. I mean, we're doing it in the most Cov way possible, making the final of the least prestigious trophy in English football (the Checkatrade trophy) in it's least prestigious season (the year that the "adding U23's team" experiment has seen attendances fall to record lows) whilst sat rock bottom of League One, but there's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be. Even though I'll be sat watching the likes of Nathan Clarke and Jordan Turnbull introducing the watching world to their own unique brand of defending (head the ball upwards, don't move to the player with the ball, assume the other centre-back has it covered), I'll be doing it in the home of football, with 44,000 other Sky Blues fans, and I can't wait. 2
AxB Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 They honoured Cristiano Ronaldo by naming the airport on his home city after him. And also unveiling a bust of Niall Quinn. 1
Death From Above Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 It made my day on social media yesterday. 1
piranesi Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 We must not allow him to procreate with Upstate New York's scary Lucille Ball.
AxB Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 A lot of Fulham fans don't think Shahid Khan is a good owner. But they like that he got rid of this from outside Craven Cottage: Michael Jackson did go to a game there once. So expect Everton to put up a Sylvester Stallone statue soon, as he's been to Goodison Park twice. And has a habit of getting statues when other people deserve them (Joe Frazier). 1

ReiseReise Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 That statue is amazing. I'm not saying I could do better, but I didn't get paid... 1
