Kings of the Dive-berian Peninsula, amirite?

Hey, our men's national soccer team hits the pitch (futbol term!) today for a very important match (another one!), facing international playboy Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. The Portuguese were blitzkrieg'd in their first World Cup contest, 4-0 by Germany, while the fightin' fifes and drums triumphed over Ghana and their lack of giraffes, 2-1. If what the internet tells me is true, a win by the United States squadron advances 'Murica to the Round of 16, which would be like the tits, yo. *** OK, this now ends the soccer portion of our program...

Since I am 100% sure it was my GTB post that lifted Dempsey and Co. to victory in match #1, we're gonna ride that patriotic sucka back:

Stars and Stripes forevah

Shlara selection. Here, we see Clint Dempsey moments before murdering someone.
Patriotic handling of the meat

Here is Ronaldo flopping. It is not an uncommon occurrence, I am told.
The tie is a nice touch
*** I could be wrong. I don't actually pay attention to what I read.

that girl on the grill has sweet hamstrings.

good job giving the us men something to root for.

Danimal said...

Actually looking forward to the women's Open finish in Pinehurst. Yes, I said that.
Dempsey could play a hit man in the next Bourne movie.

Danimal said...

Anyone watching the pending Wie meltdown? I didn't think so. An interesting finish it will be. Was 3 up with 3 left....she just doubled 16. If anyone is watching and heard the chapel bells, that is where Danimal got hitched.

Danimal said...

I hope she wins. Or rather, "Weins". Lolz.

Danimal said...

Tee shot at the par 3 17th.....good shot....15 feet.

Danimal said...

I dig her legs. Very long, firm, tan. She makes her way to the green. Queue Rolex, Titleist and Geico commercials.

Danimal said...

Assesses the line.

Danimal said...

Will be a left to righter and a bit pacey.

Danimal said...

She drains it!!!!! Crowd goes absolutely nuts! Sort of.

mayhugh said...

Wie is hot. And that draino on 17 was clutch.

Danimal said...

A 2 shot lead heading to the par 4 18th.

Danimal said...

Stripes the tee shot....finds the speed slot and it is off and running. She is owning this.

Danimal said...

Kudos to you, USGA. Despite your obscenely overpriced pavilion and general admission tickets, the overselling of those pavilion tickets causing outrageously long and slow concession lines, and the inability or maybe the simple lack of desire to create a better fan experience, my hat is off to you for accomplishing what many thought would be a complete shitshow hosting back to back championships.

Danimal said...

Wie sits 20' away and 3 putts from a career changing victory.

Danimal said...

Let's call it 18'. Apologies.

Danimal said...

Nice lag.

Danimal said...

Lines up the 3 footer....

Danimal said...

It's over! I do dig how these players support one another. Pretty cool.
Ok....that's the us open....I turn it over to you soccer guys!

TR said...

Now that's what I call marine biology.

Danimal said...

Clue me in here....what happens if we lose?

mayhugh said...

Yuck

Danimal said...

When we lose.

mayhugh said...

That mohawked dude is a huge faker.

rob said...

i believe that we will win. because, frankly, we're better.

T.J. said...

Can't believe we didn't score. Fuck that guy and his stupid knee.

mayhugh said...

What a shot! Kind of came out of nowhere.

mayhugh said...

And it was preceded by Ronaldo totally doffing a chip shot. Even better.

mayhugh said...

YEAH

T.J. said...

YESSSSSSSS

Danimal said...

Dempster fire!

mayhugh said...

He may have scored that with his nuts.

mayhugh said...

4 MORE MINUTES. THAT'S AN ETERNITY.

mayhugh said...

SHIT

T.J. said...

Un fucking real

rob said...

guh

Mark said...

That was gut wrenching. Fuck.

rob said...

i realize the equalizer wasn't his fault (hi, michael bradley!), but it'd make me really happy not to see omar gonzalez on the field for the rest of this tournament. bad things happen when that dude gets on the pitch.

TR said...

A Ghana-Portugal draw is our best friend on Friday.

Mark said...

What exactly happened to Michael Bradley since he arrived in Brazil?

rob said...

thursday, we are all ties

rob said...

just looked at the mlb standings for the first time in a while. how 'bout those nats?

rob said...

what does danimal win for setting the all time record for most consecutive comments by one person? bronze cast of the teej's dome?

Danimal said...

that was my norm macdonald impression. pretty good heh?

Clarence said...

Mayhugh spoiled what would have been 16 comments in a row. Thank goodness.

Danimal said...

This ned chile half was the most exciting scoreless half of any I've watched. Turn it on if you can.

Dave said...

i have a soccer hangover, so i can't stomach watching yet.

Clarence said...

Watched some minor league baseball today in 78 degree weather. Like a sore tallywhacker, it's very difficult to beat.

Mr KQ said...

Day drinking in Soho with KQ. Beats workin.

rob said...

a cloudless 72 degrees in brewster, ma today. sore tallywhacker here, too. might be doing it wrong.

zman said...

This photo is interesting:

http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/11123737/instagram-post-lebron-james-wife-savannah-james-refers-family-summer-vacation

because:

1. They make golf shirts with button-down collars?

and

2. I expected LeBron's wife to be younger than she appears.

rob said...

this morning, i helped my uncle and cousin move a 3'x3'x7" granite slab into place to form the floor of the outdoor shower at my cousin's new place on cape cod. this afternoon, i had the first shower beer in said outdoor shower. l-i-v-i-n.

TR said...

Mexico deserves to advance. The Croats play dirty.

And Neymar, like Messi, has that open field gear to create space like so few others. Not a bad day of futbol to entertain me while playing Mr. Mom all afternoon.

rootsminer said...

TR's playing Mr. Mom, and I'm playing home alone for the next 10 days.

When you find yourself in that situation, what's the over/under to how long it takes to revert back to habits of your 20 years ago self? Feel free to include units of measure, or don't.

Mr KQ said...

Watched the footie at Legends on 33rd st. Think we made some Mexican friends for life.

zman said...

zson just walked onto the kitchen naked but for a tshirt and said "this is a big penis."

zman said...

Party at rootsy's!

Marls said...

5 hogsheads. I'll take the under.

rootsminer said...

Yeah. C'mon down once you finish teaching your son clever new ways to refer to the ample size of his man parts.

Not sure how long a hogshead is, but the under is probably a safe bet.

rob said...

generally takes me about 30 minutes from the time i walk in the door from work, rootsy. that's about how long it takes me to leave a dirty dish somewhere.

Squeaky said...

Add Asian girls to the list of groups that can't twerk. Next to white women and men over 40.

http://youtu.be/0XfUfR5J-_k

At least she won a championship this weekend. So she has that going for her.

rob said...

yea though we walk through the shadow of the valley of die mannschaft, i have no fear, for clint dempsey walks beside us.

Dave said...

since i've been gone we're tending towards kiddie porn?

Squeaky said...

Luis Suarez, three times meaner than Tyson?

Shlara said...

A player from Uruguay took a bite out of an Italian player, for realz?

zman said...

I watched that bite but didn't realize what was happening until I googled "Uruguay bite" just now because the broadcast was in Spanish. I thought the Italian guy was showing off his shoulder hair.

rob said...

suarez bit someone else? this is not his first vampire rodeo.

Clarence said...

We had a biter on the soccer team Cliffy and I coached. He was 6.

rootsminer said...

Over/under on black people who like Phish?

TR said...

Just Khalil?

rootsminer said...

Did he like them? I remember tripping him out to Zappa's 'Hot Rats' in the summer of 95 at the old Bryan Ct. house Zman and I inhabited.


I also remember his continuing rebellion over the goddamned jazz his old man used to subject him to in the car.

zman said...

I set the O/U at 69.

zman said...

That house was a fiasco.

rootsminer said...

You sure your period isn't in the wrong place, Zed? You could be right, but that's a lot of rocks to turn over to get to the magic number!

rootsminer said...

It was a fiasco indeed. I distinctly remember the present left for us just before the water got turned off by the previous tenants, and your mosquito repellent strategy with the puddles out back.

Dave said...

does anyone remember if the original lead game was played in daytona? clarence? rob? pip?

zman said...

And the exploded pipe in the bathroom. Which was covered in mold. And the big honey in Johnny Bonghit's room.

rootsminer said...

I must have split town before the exploded pipe. I do remember the big honey in JB's room, who later ended up in the top floor bed in ol' 308, without any real action tho'.

rob said...

yes, dave. the original version was played in daytona. pip couldn't have been less happy about it.

Clarence said...

Yes, Daytona hotel room, Dave. Pillow became made of lead. Trapped us and precluded us from going to the Desert Inn for the sixth night in a row.
