Was looking forward to the Bayern-Juve match till I saw that Dybala, Marchisio, & Chiellini are all out.  Dybala really hurts; he was the one player I tbought could swing the balance with improvising something out of nothing, similiar to Balotelli vs Germany in Euro '12.  Oh well, F Juventus anyways.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oof, another injury for Mastermind, aka, Vincent Kompany.

 

[The Gator]

I like the combined thread for Euro and Copa.

and call it "Summer Football Tournaments"

:lamo: 

 

[Christo]

Holy crap, what a boring half of football in the Citeh.

Otamendi AND Kompany out?  This stinks for City.  If they aren't careful ManU might score a goal Saturday.

For those who wonder if Atletico's DMs are any good, check out PSV's pass chart.

Unreal that a Dutch League defense (PSV) shutout Atletico (in normal time) over both legs...#TheGuardadoEffect#

Thought I'd leave this here:

[Moe.]

Well that was fun

 

[Slapdash]

So close PSV

 

[Mjolnirs]

Can we get an update on Z?  You still breathing?

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I was expecting heavier from christo

 

[gianmarco]

Which one is Gator?

 

[Sebowski]

Stone Cold Steve Austin sat next to me at an airport bar and that happened to him to. Not quite as frequent. Ronaldo was like every 20 seconds. Stone Cold was probably like every 45 seconds. Good dude. Talked to me for over 20 minutes while trying to finish his beer (local IPA, he quit drinking #### beer). Just kept talking while talking pics with people. 

 

[Christo]

That would suck.

I stayed at my table

Hiding my boner

 

[The Z Machine]

Not gonna lie, that was pretty intense for me as an Atleti fan.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

My energy sustains me. It's easy to sit on your couch and say "GPJ sucks." I'm just a boy from a small town in Brazil.

FIFA admits to World Cup hosting bribes, asks U.S. prosecutors for cash

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Reminds me of the old story about the kids who killed their parents and threw themselves on the mercy of the court because they were orphans.

The temerity of wanting the bribe money back is so FIFA.

Memorialized in countless judicial opinion footnotes as the definition of chutzpah. 

 

[roadkill1292]

This latest FIFA thing is just too wonderful for words. I like lots of European things but stuff like this makes me wonder: is this not an eye-opener over there among the average Giovannis? Or does FIFA do things like this because of the non-Euro influences in the organization?

Once again, the FBG ***Official Soccer Discussion Thread*** is eerily prescient.

Didier Deschamps va convoquer N'Golo Kanté pour les matches amicaux contre les Pays-Bas et la Russie

Are headphones a fashion accessory now? I'm obviously out of the loop.

Now that you know I'm Didier Deschamps, maybe you bastards will start to take my opinions a little more seriously.

Whoa. Was that Khedira on the first pass? Nice touch from Lichtsteiner, too.

Gabriel was apparently focusing on the league.

 

[gianmarco]

Gorgeous goal by Juventus.

 

[Mjolnirs]

good freaking lord!

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oops, Pep.

 

[The Gator]

Nice to see arsenal still think they can get 15532 touches in the box before shooting. 

 

[roadkill1292]

Jaysus, can you find the Cuadrado goal? Read that it was a good one.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Barca's D is being exposed a bit too much for my taste right now.  A good team would have scored a few against them by now.

 

[Capella]

Geez what a save by Bayern goalie!

LOL.  Trolling.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

LOL.  Trolling.

Yeah, I know.  Shouldn't have.  Still wondering what Arsenal was doing taking all those touches in the box, though.  

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

In fairness, Pique is probably well past the stage where he's just imagining the elaborate lovemaking positions he'll be trying with Shaqira tonight.  Not exactly a high leverage situation for the Blaugrana.
