I woke up at 7 AM on a Sunday to be mad that Johan "loving fraud poo poo" Venegas continues to start for my national team.

Any of the Russian posters watching this?

Azofeifa kicks the ball really hard and it owns, he's always scoring golazos with his rocket foot

Another golazo and Bryan went straight to the bench to hug his little brother :3

And then Russia pulls one back and the dude knocks himself out on Keylor's knee.

I am watching this. Costa Rica is a better team. They should not have played a friendly against a better team to open a new stadium.

I really want Ure�a to score in his old city, even though he barely played I heard him on an interview and he sounded pretty comfortable speaking Russian, so at least he learned something.

Salvatierra and Venegas are really bad and I'm sure one of them will gently caress up to give your boys some chances.

He was playing for the bitter rivals of the team whose stadium they're playing in, so it would be hilarious.

However bad Salvatierra and Venegas are, the Russian garbagemen are worse (although, to be fair, none of them are playing in the MLS, so that's gotta be worth something).

See what I tell you about Venegas? He's bad, selfish and dumb as gently caress. Get Joelito in there!

But I see your point about your boys.

The worst thing about supporting Russia is that you know that they can do things like this when they want to, they just barely ever do.

CONCACAF are going to get rid of the Hex. So we can see Jozy pile up goals against farmers and cab drivers more often.

On one hand this defense has looked awful, in the other hand this shouldn never be the starting defense in an important match.

"Play really aimless and ineffective football for 90 minutes, let your opponents dominate the game and never look like anyone's even slightly bothered" was the method, that was indeed the end result.

Bottom of the group on even points with loving Kosovo (who got their one and only point by drawing with Finland... away!)!

Also, everybody's favorite footballer Diego Costa put Spain up 1-0 against the mighty Albania.

Credit to Ventura for switching to a more attacking lineup, Italy were a lot better after they went to a back four and moved Verratti forward.

Blue Star Error: Jun 11, 2001; For this recipie you will need:
Football match (Halftime of), Celebrity Owner (Motivational speaking of), Sherry (Bottle of)

quote:

Spain defender Gerard Pique will retire from international football after the 2018 World Cup following a controversy surrounding his shirt sleeves.

The Barcelona player, 29, is unpopular with some Spain fans for his support of independence for Catalonia.

In Sunday's 2-0 win in Albania, his shirt - unlike his colleagues - did not have a Spanish flag trim on the sleeve.

After social media criticism, the Spanish FA released a statement to explain why, and defend Pique.

Pique was wearing the long-sleeved shirt - as was Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos - which does not feature the flag trim.

The statement said that Pique had cut the sleeves off his shirt, "the same way other players have done on many occasions," for comfort.

Pique, who won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, said: "I have tried everything, but I can't bear this anymore.

"Today's issue of the sleeves is the the straw that breaks the camel. They've managed to make me lose the excitement of coming here and although after Russia I'll only be 31, I'll leave."

lol what a fanny
