Man, I don’t even care. There would be nothing funnier than Arsenal winning the league the same season Spuds get relegated.

agreed. I have a couple of friends that are Arsenal fans and I wouldn’t be sad if the won. they deserve it. now, I have another friend who follows Spurs and he said he wouldn’t care if they go down, maybe that’d force a hard reset.
 
So AFCON title has now been awarded to Morocco because Senegal left the pitch for 10 minutes to protest the officiating (which has now been deemed a forfeit months later). Insane. They make CONCACAF look like not a clown show in comparison.

I’m worried about a potential momentum shift but it was our least important big game. Prize money is like 150k and the trophy is named after an energy drink. Coping hard

The performance (along with some other recent matches) is the real issue for me. I never believed we would do the quad, and I will join your cope by saying this is the best one to drop.

Enough with the injuries! The whole squad needs to be up and firing.
 
So I'm probably late on this, but when did "hydration breaks" become a thing? I never had that when I played. It totally messes with the whole flow of the game. I am not a fan at all of this.

I feel bad for their young keeper. Subbed off after 17 minutes, 3 goals and 2 of them howlers. That guy will never recover.

That shit happens man. I've been on the wrong end of a couple costly mistakes on saves that I definitely should have made. Anybody else on the field can make a mistake and you may never know it. A keeper makes one mistake and it could cost the game.

They want more money. Water break = commercial break = more ad revenue. It’s yet another example of FIFA being awful for soccer.
 
Italy oof

Turned it on right in time for the DOGSO red

BIH deserved the dub but I can't help but feel bad for the Italians

Sweden made it through which makes me happy. Every time I think of the World Cup it makes me more angry though. I’d love to go to a match but can’t justify the cost.

Yeah it's silly.

I just got an email that I am entitled to buy 12 Olympics tickets through the locals presale, but then I looked up the pricing for the in-demand events and I was less thrilled. Live sporting events in America are just insanely unaffordable these days.
