The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

Also, yesterday was a goal-fest for MLS. Seven matches, 26 goals.

I have still not forgiven Argentina for Maradonna's Hand of god goal........Yes, in footy, I can really hold a grudge that long!!!

Maradona is a genius. We should watch that again.

The replay on the German hand ball clearly shows no movement of the hand toward the ball or on the ball. Sad for the US, but clearly a correct call.

Any mention of Maradona today should include a reference to The Hand Of God goal.

Don't ruin this for me!!

Well, my reaction to the Argy disallowed goal tells me that I want Germany to win. At least I now know who I am rooting for!

HT: 0-0 or kinda 1-1 depending on how you look at it.

Looks like the Argies could win this 1-0 with Messi to score. I'd beOK with it if it were Messi. He is one of the good guys.

The trophy looks like it's made out of tin foil and spray painted gold.

Well, the actual trophy is really the important thing? Google "The ashes" played for between England and Australia in that stupid bat and ball game they call cricket. It's 2 or 3 inches tall, I think.

0-0 at HT


Must have been yet another game without incident.

Argentina is looking tired.

There's some great action out there

beautifully taken goal!!!!


But don't google Goatse.

Zee germans!

I wanted the Germans to win.


I feel so dirty now.

Great goal by Goatze. I was rooting for Argentina though. Both teams deserved to be in the final. Very happy I didn't have to sit through PKs.

So many chances squandered by my Ches. Congrats Krauts.

The right result, but I still think Goatse is a big arsehole.

Whatever you do, don't Google search any part of that phrase. Seriously.

I think Schweinsteiger just flopped. Again.

It's it weird that I'm happy MLS is going again at full strength. Go Sounders!

It is insanely hit or miss.
I usually try ESPN. I have cable, and I remember seeing like 3-4 games televised, 2 of which were Timbers games. The internet is probably a better source, but someone else may have a better idea.

Thanks!!!!

Summer is for bat and ball games like baseball and cricket, where people don't need to move around a lot, or even be fit.

I thought this was obvious.
