What a f***ing night! I'll be missing Wednesday nights game cause I'll be at RBA but beggars can't be choosers! How's this for two crazy stats!...

Pretty cool?

PRETTY f***ING COOL?

My entire nation is obsessed with this game and have been clamouring to host a World Cup since 1966 and you describe this as PRETTY COOL?

I am so jealous right now.

Metlife sucks so I'm honestly shocked they picked it, I really thought they would go with Dallas because that place holds more people and is a cathedral compared to the dump that Metlife is.

I'm going to all the US games for as many as they play. It's going to cost a lot but I don't care cause I'll probably never have another opportunity to go unless they come back to the US before the world ends. Won't have to worry about paying for final tickets though cause the US isn't going that far. I absolutely can't justify the cost of the finals tickets if the US isn't in it.

Travel sucks for this though. Los Angeles is the first game so I'll make a Disneyland trip out of that one. I'm assuming the other two will be Ohio and then one of Texas or Florida. Would love to be wrong and get a close northeast game. So it's probably going to be 2 flights for the first round and I'll make the drive to Ohio.

I think actually all the US opening round games will be LA-Seattle-LA

Ugh, Seattle is super expensive to stay at. I hope you're wrong simply cause of the cost that will be. At that point I might just rent a car and do the drive up from LA and back cause f*** it lol

Sorry to agree but I also believe it’s LA-Sea-LA

Ah f*** I didn't realize they released the whole thing, god damn it what a bunch of horse shit. The games aren't even remotely close either in dates so would need like a 2 week vacation. Probably gonna be cheaper to fly in and out. f***.

These last couple of posts are some of your best work. The self deprecating humor of NJ is always fun when done correctly.

I'm honestly both excited about this, but I can't help but laugh because Metlife is such an odd choice for this.

Europeans are not ready for what awaits them

what pukes! news about two players in one day from different incidents

Brazil court rules Robinho must serve 9-year prison term for rape. Soccer star convicted in Italy

SAO PAULO (AP) — A Brazilian high court ruled Wednesday that former soccer star Robinho must serve his nine-year prison sentence in his home nation as a result of his 2017 rape conviction in Italy. Lawyers for the 40-year-old Robinho said they will file a request for habeas corpus at Brazil’s...

"jürgen said to me ya know, we'll win the premier league ya know, he said so! i'm in love with him and i feel fine! i'm so glad that jürgen is a red! i'm so glad he delivered what he said!"

what an era that was.

re: the meadowlands, the issue here is more the car-dependent north american built environment than anything else

at least establishing shots will have the new york skyline in the distance. dallas metroplex and los angeles would have been worse, lol.

we’re also perhaps more centrally located for europe *and* south american teams (just eyeballing a world map, and let’s be real, the two important continents in world football) than both dallas and la.

it makes *a lot* of sense to have the final here.

If we're talking about 2026, I just can't believe a world cup semi-final is going to be hosted in Atlanta. The US soccer establishment at-large would have scoffed at the idea of that 10 years ago.

My youngest is going to watch Team USA in Atlanta at the end of June with some friends. He is excited for it. I'm sure it will draw in a good crowd and be a nice advertisement for the sport and setting.

lets go croatia!

edit. game over 3-0 loss

every goal was the result of dogshit defending. they beat themselves

 

[njdevils1982]

what a joke

italy eats 1:40 of the clock in extra time with the goalie holding the ball waaay too long and player changes



f*** them

 

[njdevils1982]
