Champion's League Open Thread
Some sweet ass UEFA action today. So if you need to break up the monotony of curling, switch it over to Fox Soccer. Although I will say, as absurd of a sport as curling is, and despite the fact that I know nothing about it, it's pretty engrossing.
Regardless. The sport that I wanted to see today, downhill skiing, has been either postponed (men's super combined) or canceled (women's downhill training). The women's 10K Biathalon is currently underway, just not on TV.
So quit sliding rock and brushing ice, fuckwads, and watch the Champion's League. The two games today are Olympique Lyon v. Real Madrid, and AC Milan v. Manchester United. A couple of notes:
-Lyon is Squirrel Tactics' dark horse for this tourney while Real Madrid is in a crazy amount of debt so that you can watch Kaká, Xavi Alonso and Cristiano Ronaldo on the same team (you ungrateful cocks).
-This will be David Beckham's first game against Manchester United since leaving the club seven years ago.
Let's get it on. If you have anything to say on either Champion's League game or the Olympics, come on in and say hi. To the comments section!

We've only got Lyon and Madrid. Lyon has put the hurt out on Cristiano. People are flying at him if he ever gets the rock.
ReplyDeleteLyon for sure had better tries so far. No doubt they have the momentum at the half. Of course, it's scoreless, and Real has the players that can funk anybody at any second.
ReplyDeleteLisandro's played great, but nothing to show for it. His efforts should pay off with a goal.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Jean Makoun?
ReplyDeleteLyon up 1-0.
Announcers just said that Ronaldo isn't playing at the level that he did when with United. This may be true, but it's definitely not the whole story. Lyon's defenders are on a coke bender.
ReplyDeleteUnlucky, that.
ReplyDeleteLisandro just jerked off a great chance at a coffin-nailing goal.
Benzema just funked some people. Ronaldo rewarded it with... a dribbler wide.
ReplyDeleteFIX YO GAME, RONALDO.
Kaká is magnificent. When he gets the rock.
ReplyDeleteOlympic Curling combines the laziness of the American Collective Persona with the glory demanded by the aforementioned persona:
ReplyDeleteShit, I can do that.
And a sport that barflies and old people like: SHUFFLEBOARD!

ReplyDeleteCaitlyn Taliaferro is going to be the next great American curling Olympian!!!
ReplyDeleteRegardless of who Jean Makoun is, his goal was filthy.
ReplyDeleteI love that there's somebody on AC Milan whose last name is, "Bonera."
ReplyDeleteOnly Scholes can whiff a kick and still score a goal in one fell swoop.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to toss that curling stone at some of my students. And then drill them in the head with a soccerball. Then throw them down the downhill course.
