OT: Association Football Thread III (All Soccer Talk Here!)

[KirkAlbuquerque]

In his defense, it's hard not to choke when your jaw to tongue ratio is 15:1.

England truly are the Leafs of international soccer

It's even worse. They have a better team than the Leafs do.

True, but in the sense that they always overhype their team and are the center of the sport , but haven’t actually won anything since the mid 60s

England truly are the Leafs of international soccer

Perfect analogy lol

I don't think I've ever seen a game where no shots were even attempted until the 79th minute and that team scoring two goals to tie. Much less having seen it in a WC Final. What a crazy ass game.

Macron sad

Here's a fresh one: the World Cup trophy sucks ass.

It looks like you were employee of the year at Costco's.

Reminds me of a giant Ferrero Rocher that you just want to unwrap to get to that crispy center.

Lolol I think Messi instinctively went in for a hug with Macron but Macron was like no.

I tried, god knows I tried, to avoid this tournament because the host country wishes that I and my people were dead, but that final was one of the finest displays of sport ever. It felt like history because it was. Glad I got up early on a Sunday to watch.

When my grandparents, mom, etc moved here, they basically had nothing. By the time they paid for everything, they literally had five dollars left. This was one of the very few things they managed to bring with them. My grandfather died a few years ago and left it to me. This is waaaaaay more than just a game to us. It was part of the culture we managed to hang on to here through all the shit we all went through.

Aside from the Stanley Cup they all suck. The Lombardi is okay I guess. The NBA and MLB trophies are a joke

I like the MLB trophy.

 

[Crease]

I like the MLB trophy.

You can't even drink out of it.

It's not a cup.

The Champions League trophy.

It looks like God is too shy to drink out of it.

f*** france

Ronaldo chasing the money in Saudi Arabia. What a loser. And this is coming from someone who's of Portuguese heritage.

 

[Ben Grimm]

In 1974 Chelsea was one of the poorest and worst teams and in 17th place so I jumped on the bandwagon. My grandfather immigrated from the Netherlands though so now that LIV have van Dijk and Gakpo I'm rooting for them also.

 

[Fitzy]

The Champions League trophy.

It looks like God is too shy to drink out of it.

The Gold cup is okay

but hoping one day the USA will walk away with this baby

 

[Brief Candle]

Christ, ya'll are still talking about the aesthetics of the damn cup? lol

For me, it's the most glorious trophy on the planet. I rather prefer its capability to be used as a cudgel rather than it's capability as a drinking vessel.

It's not about capability, it's just ugly.

 

[Brief Candle]

In other news: Don't be surprised if Copa America ends up here in 2024.

It's not about capability, it's just ugly.

Hard disagree. Then again, I have been culturally conditioned to think this way. lol

MANCHESTER IS RED
