Pretty much everything in my personal and professional life is in the crapper right now, but at least I have your puns to sustain me.

Oh, no worries.  I'm on enough Zoloft that I can read Piers Morgan tweets and end up only mildly annoyed.  

Feeling a bit Anzhi?

Their lack of pace up top Muslim-it their ability to play an attacking style.

For all we know, someone came in the thread to complain about all the diving or the offsides rule and was so intimidated by our wordplay that he or she just left.  I do it for all of us.  

 

[B Maverick]

 5 am first game tomorrow?  At least they have Ronaldo vs Spain on at 11am...

 France at 3 am Saturday?!?!?!

These early games sure aren't Messi-ing around

Portugal 

Liquor, Anis

Cristiano's?

 

[AAABatteries]

Seriously, please tell me that was on purpose and not a typo.  I'm dying over here.   

 

[The Gator]

It's a real life liquor. 

I wish it was Cristiano's, because it'd probably taste better.

Anis or Anise?

I can't even find "Anis" with the Google machine.

ETA - if you meant Anise then I agree with you - don't like any Anise-based liquor.  

 

[Kafka]

Cristiano's?

Anis it's probably clearer, too....

 

[AAABatteries]

It's probably clearer...

There's zero doubt in my mind he waxes and bleaches.

ZERO DOUBT.

It's not your mind that I'm curious about, it's that resident portugese...

 

[Sinn Fein]

Anis or Anise?

I can't even find "Anis" with the Google machine.

ETA - if you meant Anise then I agree with you - don't like any Anise-based liquor.  

Its Anis - your google is broken

try "Anis Portugal"

Surprisingly, it is not a picture of Cristiano's ### nor Gator's ###.

@The Gator

You actually gave me a different liqueur last time

Ginjinha

I'm going to stick with it because I hate Anise

Nothing except a bunch of puns, mostly at the expense of Saudi Arabia.

The puns were more entertaining than today's match.

Big blow for @NYCFC's Ronald Matarrita, who is expected to miss at least two weeks with a hamstring injury. He'll likely miss all three of #CRC group stage matches. They kick off against #SRB on Sunday, before meeting #BRA on June 22 & #SUI on June 27. #NYCFC #MLS #WorldCup

Is that even liquor?

Taste like juice.

Just people in here trying to be punny.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Crap, I'm sorry I missed this and duped your post. What an idiot I am sometimes.

His says Vladamir and yours uses Oleg, so really different, but equally funny joke.
