And people say American soccer commentators can't provide insight or artful turns of phrase.
Don't you live in the US?
*ducks*
Ssssh. Greece-Czech Rep was bad enough for morale today, we don't really want a troll invasion too.
EDIT: Of course, every regular customer here is a reasonable person who doesn't have to justify their beliefs at length at every slightest provocation. No offense meant to anybody in particular.
That's not much of defense of neo-fascism...
Per Wikipedia: "Neo-fascism usually includes palingenetic ultranationalism, populism, anti-immigration policies or, where relevant, nativism, anti-communism"
Ok, ok, I'll stop no Chef.
Hey, maybe I can get back my money by betting the O/U on deaths in the aftermath!
He probably just got the day off, like Bob Ley did yesterday.
Also, I never want to hear anyone speak positively about the quality of Reddit.
Ballack has been pretty bad but I thought he was very insightful pre-match yesterday talking about Schevchenko's time at Chelsea. He really humanized the guy I thought. It was the sort of thing that only an ex-player and teammate could have done.
Not entirely useless. A Russia win opens the door to a "We're qualified and don't give a rat's ass" performance against Greece. Which could put Poland out even if they beat the Czechs.
Wilson doesn't seem like the sort to have especially St. George-tinted spectacles on. Maybe he was just really cranky about the overall experience. He sure came loaded for bear with his criticism of those responsible for hosting this tournament.
This just in. The Twatball commissioners have awarded Cassano points for his homophobic press conference today.
There's far too much historical irony around in any European competition to bother much with it, including Sweden getting beaten up in Ukraine.
Add some Austrian linesmen and the set would be complete.
It's all a grand experiment to see if Steven Pienaar's mojo is soulbound to Everton or David Moyes.
Oooh. A Charles XII reference. I like it.
Let's not jump the gun. The Guardian is just printing the ITK's and twitters I've been seeing all day. They don't mean much. And the one name that has come up as a possible replacement is...Didier Deschamps.
I like David Moyes a lot, but I'm not in charge! Deschamps is who, supposedly, Levy likes. As for Harry, he won at San Siro with these guys:
01 Gomes
13 Gallas
20 Dawson
22 Corluka (Woodgate 59)
32 Assou-Ekotto
07 Lennon
11 Van der Vaart (Modric 62)
12 Palacios
30 Sandro
40 Pienaar (Kranjcar 76)
15 Crouch
If he's really going, I won't kick him on the way out. We've had some great times. The win at Etihad, the win at San Siro, winning the group in the CL, thumping Liverpool 3 times in a row, the 10 wins from 11, not to mention where we were when he took over. He was the right guy at the right time, but he's got a bit of Billy Martin about him--I think he wears clubs out after a while with his schtick.
I agree. All managers, save a handful of the all-time greats, have a shelf life. Harry's expiration date is just about up with this club. I wouldn't be dead-set against giving him another year to demonstrate whether or not he's possibly learned from his mistakes these last two seasons. On the other hand, he's 65 and hasn't really given much of an indication that he's going to change the way he does business at this stage of his career.
I reckon Levy would have been content to let Harry see out his contract too, but that doesn't seem to be good enough for Harry.
Re. US-Guatemala- The turf appears to be ####### horrible. Aside from that, not a very good start from the US. Right now I'm almost hoping they'll be able to leave Guatemala with a draw.
Clint! Nice finish.
No news on Redknapp except from all the usual garbage news outlets. BBC reporting Giroud to Arsenal is about done for a 12 million Euro fee. That's good business for the Arse.
(*)And Dempsey's goal was the only real chance, as with the other two, (a) play was already dead, and (b) the US didn't get a shot-on-goal because Altidore inexplicably stopped his run.
Really easy to find an illegal stream of it.
Was it decent quality? Last time they did this--the Honduras qualifier, I think--I had no luck at all. It was also past my bedtime. It's probably a game I would have sucked it up and stayed up late and fought with an illegal stream if it had been a hexagonal match. Hopefully Traffic lost a lot of money on this deal.
Nobody stood out to me in a good way, other than Jones was tested with fouls a lot in the first 20 minutes and kept his cool all night. Jozy had a rough game but game on as a sub, he isn't used to that so I can give him a little bit of a pass, although his play on Bradley's chance was inexcusable. At least he was noticable: Gomez did nothing but in fairness nobody did anything to get him the ball. Landycakes was back, the defense was shaky, Goodosn picked up a card and then played noted diver Carlos Ruiz tight and hard and gave away a free kick, can't play like that with a card against someone who draws them, have to be smarter.
They once again played down to the level of the competition, just like they have for years.
I admire the tenacity.
They have three days to appeal.
A suspended 6 point penalty? That basically means nothing, right?
Having that hanging over them is a pretty nasty threat, especially by UEFA standards.
EDIT: I actually can't remember if UEFA has threatened some team with a points penalty in the qualifiers before. It has mostly been fines and venue changes.
The modernist image on that huge banner the Russian fans unfurled was not of a generic Russian warrior, but of Dmitry Pozharsky, a Russian noble and general who defeated the Polish/Lithuanian empire in the 17th century to win independence for Russia.
Why was it in English? I thought that was...interesting.
Probably a "This is Sparta" reference.
I actually kind of enjoy it, when the stream I open comes in a language I don't speak. You can still make out the names being said, which is really all you need from announcers. And you don't have to put up with the constant idiotic, inane drivel that you know they are spouting...
The two biggest things I took away from the US game last night was-
1. The lack of creative play in the final third, and
2. The midfield was kind of a mess. Bradley should've played up a bit more and putting Jones & Edu out there at the same time is redundant.
I love those Portuguese warm-up jackets. Actually I like a lot of the warm-up jackets I've seen this tournament.
There's a Scottish ref, it probably takes a decapitation to get sent off.
Oh that was pretty.
...what you think you saw, you did not see.
That bothers me less now that FSC has gotten their #### together and gone HD. It'll be fun watching ESPN forget about soccer again though.
Ah. They're paying that much just for domestic? Man City and Chelsea might meet FFP after all!
Heh. Yeah. In my defense, I did know that it was Postiga at one point, but am apparently unable to connect the pieces of my brain together.
It was a lovely finish, though.
If the overseas rights also go for more (as expected, in part because of Al Jazeera), they will really be rolling in it.
Nani looks good and has seen (and done) much more with the ball than Ronaldo has. Why haven't Portugal naturalized a Brazilian striker yet?
Eriksen hasn't done much of anything in these two games. It seems the Dutch and Portugal are keying on him.
The knock on him in league play is that his first touch is often horrible, and his finishing is erratic.
Okay, those are two knocks.
If the run of play is always against you, your goals are always against the run of play.
