Booted a sitter above the net and barely rolled the ball in on the one he scored in that last qualifying game. I'd like to see him find somewhere he can play to his strengths. This Chelsea team just doesn't make any sense for him.

September 10, 20214 yr Author As a whole this was a pretty crazy qualifier round. You had the Brazil-Argentina incident. There was a coup in Guinea that cancelled the Guinea-Morocco match. Ignoring the match, hope everyone there is ok and that the players are all safe (as well as all the people too). Wild world we live in. Edited September 10, 20214 yr by Captain Ron

There was enough racist, bigoted shit in his comment history that I didn't feel bad. Also a temp ban. Amazed it didn't happen sooner.

THE GAMES DOWN IN AFRICA (lyrics) I hear the drums echoing tonightBut she hears only whispers of some quiet conversationShe's coming in, 12:30 flightThe moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvationI stopped an old man along the wayHoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodiesHe turned to me as if to say"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the games down in AfricaGonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) The wild dogs cry out in the nightAs they grow restless, longing for some solitary companyI know that I must do what's rightAs sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the SerengetiI seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the games down in AfricaGonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the games down in AfricaI bless the games down in Africa(I bless the games)I bless the games down in Africa I bless the games down in AfricaI bless the games down in Africa (Gonna take the time)Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

October 12, 20214 yr England down 1-0 to Hungary at Wembley. FC Dallas's Szabolcs Schön is starting for Hungary as a winger.
October 12, 20214 yr England and Hungary draw at 1-1. Poland up 1-0 on Albania. game was suspended because Albanian supporters pelted the Polish team with debris after Poland scored. game is back on.
October 14, 20214 yr Canada now up 3-1 on Panama. This would be a good result. Need Mexico, U.S. and Canada to separate since these are the 3 that should go through.
October 14, 20214 yr Mexico/El Salvador has spent more time on than ground than playing...an ref is going to add 15 minutes of stoppage time
October 14, 20214 yr Coming here - don't want to go off topic on the NT thread. Love this pbp guy. TAKA TAKA TIKI TIKI VAMANOS!
October 14, 20214 yr Accidentally posted on the USMNT eh-thread . . . Just turned on the México contra El Salvador partido and see that a Mexicano is getting magic eh-spray in the first half. ¿Can they waste time para 55+ minutos?
October 14, 20214 yr I'd like to have an impassioned, sexually-frustrated relationship with Jenny Chiu that ends up in us holding enough petty grievances against each other to where we quit speaking. Cause you know you get like 5 or 6 lays in those types of relationships that you'll never forget. Plus she seems the type.
October 14, 20214 yr Clear pen. They're throwing hella shit on the pitch. Laser pointers too lmfao. Never change CONCACAF. Edited October 14, 20214 yr by ztejas
October 14, 20214 yr What is this chick talking about trying to give El Salvador a bunch of credit? They got smoked.

October 14, 20214 yr Author Asia is a little topsy turvey right now. Their two groups are lead by … Iran (A) and Saudi Arabia (B). South Korea (A) is in second place of their group with strange draws against Iran and Iraq. Australia trails in group B, they fell to Japan. On that note Japan currently sits 4th in B. They have 2 bad losses against the Saudis and Oman (at home). Beating Australia helps, and they have time, but they do find themselves looking up in the standings.

Thought that I had totally misspelled it. Emigrate means to leave one location, such as one’s native country or region, to live in another. Immigrate means to move into a non-native country or region to live.

October 14, 20214 yr @Napoleon, have you observed that former Iranians prefer to introduce themselves as Persians?
October 14, 20214 yr Author Technically aren’t they always Iranian (and Persian)? BTW, I expect Iran to likely qualify. They have made the last 2 WCs and 4 of the last 6. Plus they drew an easy group (only 1 of S Korea, Japan and Australia).

In LA I did. “The Persian Community”, old Beverly Hills homes being replaced with “Persian Palaces”, a girl at a party in late ‘90s/early ‘00s saying “I’m ‘Persian’…” and stuff like that. These girls… one is a flight attendant for Lufthansa who has been with this totally German guy who is on talk shows & round tables in Germany all the time, so she is confident in saying whatever she wants. Like posting a photo of her mom in her teens in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s and labeling it “Mom in Tehran”… The other one, not as hot, but not bad… very Persian looking, will refer to the people as Persian because her family settled in the San Fernando Valley and there are loads there as well, and the people and their idiosyncrasies have been in modern day Iran for centuries longer than the country has been called “Iran”. They’re not ashamed, just choose to be more specific. (Like Ashkenazi & Sephardic can be more specific at times than “Israeli”… both girls are Jewish, by the way.)

Even though I was a teenager and it was their first victory in a World Cup, their celebrating with their national flag always rubbed me the wrong way. Edited October 15, 20214 yr by UDontKnow
