Nah I am fairly certain with the Panthers

But I am more than happy to be wrong

[short flame]

Would be fun to make them go back to Edmonton one last time at least

[rustic mountain]

Like McDavid said, gotta try to drag them back to Alberta

But I am just happy we showed a ton of fight and did something no one else did and chased Bob out of a game

Is it really funny when belgium hasn’t won any of the euros Olympics and World Cup since 1920

Mfers are bigger chokers than the leafs

[hasty basin]

3rd in ranking btw

[solid dagger]

The Belgium downfall has to be studied

[dim ledge]

What downfall

That would imply they were ever in a position of significance

I'm gonna say it

Hamsik>KDB

I know who my goat is

[solid dagger]

This downfall

It's kinda sad their golden generation never won a single trophy

I loved that 2016-2018 team

[robust grotto]

heja heja heja slovenkso

[dim ledge]

Gypsy country idc

[solid dagger]

You really went full dutch damn Balkan

[dim ledge]

That's part of it

I just always disliked FIFA twerking for Belgium with decades of no results

[solid dagger]

Yeah that was annoying

[solid dagger]

England are definitely bigger chokers

To be fair is it Belgium's fault if FIFA's ranking system is so dogshit

[short flame]

At least they’ve won something

[solid dagger]

Yeah, 60 years ago

[short flame]

Belgium is a waste of talent

[solid dagger]

And never won anything since

[robust grotto]

Losing to Macejko lmfaooo imagine

[dim ledge]

Here's the thing about Belgium

Take away KDB

[solid dagger]

As if England didn't have one of the most talented generations ever and still won nothing

[short flame]

Would rather win 60 years ago than not at all

[dim ledge]

And their golden gen is a starting 11 of players who were only good for 2-3 years

Followed by a 90° fall off

[short flame]

Hazard was better

[dim ledge]

No he genuinely wasn't

[solid dagger]

England is also way bigger than Belgium, both storically and speaking about the people

[dim ledge]

He fits that vill

Bill

[short flame]

He fell off faster but his prime was higher

[dim ledge]

Irrelevant

[solid dagger]

Nainggolan was so good

[short flame]

He was good 7 years at Chelsea

Very far from just good 2-3 years

[solid dagger]

To be fair De Bruyne has been performing at the top for 6/7 years as well

Maybe even more

[dim ledge]

Haxard did not deliver consistently for 7 seasons at Chelsea that's just wholeheartedly untrue

[dim ledge]

I did say take him away TBF

[short flame]

Yeah and he’s been brilliant. More consistent but I just disagree with saying hazard was only good 2-3 years

[dim ledge]

You can disagree

You'd just be wrong

Which is fine

[robust grotto]

Can’t wait for people to call us farmers online lmfao

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten shocking statement:

when we had a super team

2021 Pak was insane

back then, we lost matches due to our own mistakes, not the opposition playing better

but its over

its pretty criminal though that Kwan is only at #5

Ed

[short flame]

Did he ever start?

[desert palm]

Only the first round, we’ll see what happens afterwards

[thorn hornet]

Chelsea killed him

If we get back over .500 I will cry

There is still hope for wild card

The fact that Mets can actually make Wild Card makes me question the MLB a little

Feels a little too easy

[desert palm]

The NL is that weak

lol

[short flame]

Not the central

That one is peak

[desert palm]

The only teams that have very good records are the division winners

Atlanta is currently a wildcard and even then they’re not significantly above the pack

Only four games above

[desert palm]

The Brewers are forsure the shocker this year

I thought they would be bad. I’m not gonna lie.

[desert palm]

@hasty mesa as you can see the Mets are only a game and a half away from staying at a wild card spot

Granted, we’re only nearing halfway into the season so things could dramatically change

Europeans or european adjacent people, how big of a deal is the euro compared to the World Cup? I imagine most people put it like just below in terms of legacy evaluation or whatever people do lol

[dim ledge]

To be honest juba I'd argue it's bigger

[honest umbra]

When they got camavinga and tchouameni on the bench

[dim ledge]

To give it context everyone watches the euros, world cup obviously will still get lots of viewership but a bit less comparatively

[honest umbra]

In Europe you mean right?

[proud coyote]

I see

[dim ledge]

It's 50/50 whether or not someone cares about like

Brazil Vs Senegal or something

[honest umbra]

Makes sense since there are far more European teams in it

I would still assume most European players themselves would prefer to win a World Cup though

[dim ledge]

Whereas something like Slovakia Vs Belgium is not just two euro nations but also has sociopolitical and class implications

[dull sedge]

GOAAAAAAAT

Incredible performance by this dude

[honest umbra]

U a big lockie fan, harsh?

[dull sedge]

Nah

I liked the way he played in that game tho

[dim ledge]

Okay here's a better example

[dull sedge]

Imagine having all the games be like India vs Pakistan

[dim ledge]

The Euro Cup is like the UCL X5

[dull sedge]

Like that, you mean Balkan

[dim ledge]

Not per se

That has way more implications

[simple seal]

Never change Belgium

[dim ledge]

This is more like

[honest umbra]

India vs Pakistan every game would be crazy

That’s 2 billion ppl involved lmao

[dull sedge]

There surely are like derbies within the tournament right

[dim ledge]

I'll use Slovakia Vs Belgium again but it's like

[dull sedge]

Like nation on nation prestige on the line type shit

[dim ledge]

Pro EU Vs Anti EU, working class Vs upper class, arguable implications of left vs right etc etc

[dull sedge]

Yeah lmao it’s insane

[honest umbra]

What about France and Austria?

[dim ledge]

Not as much

But at the same time it's basically Germany Vs France

[honest umbra]

Dang it

France always got something going on

I thought I had something

[dim ledge]

Anyone playing France is the "underdog"

[dull sedge]

Germany vs France does go hard as fuck yeah lol

[dim ledge]

So there's that ig

[dull sedge]

Wait, even high prestige teams?

[honest umbra]

Germany vs most of Europe goes hard

Esp because it’s in Germany

[dull sedge]

Oh right

[sweet tree]

this gonna be a goal fest

[honest umbra]

by France?

[burnt cedar]

This game been shocking

Putting me to sleep

[honest umbra]

Or u got some hope that Austria would score?

[sweet tree]

icl im not even watching

[dim ledge]

England's game was also sleepy

[sweet tree]

ye

[honest umbra]

Do France even come into this match in good form?

I feel like their team is strangely underwhelming

And this lineup is weird

[sweet tree]

nah didn't they draw to canada

[honest umbra]

they did

[dim ledge]

With bench players iirc no

[hollow wind]

Yeah honestly I can see that. I feel like when I lived in the UK, all my football fanatic friends seemed to get way more passionate and invested in the Euro compared to the World Cup. Obviously they lost their shit during the World Cup too but the Euro was almost life or death

[burnt cedar]

France play just as bad football as England they just got 10x the player quality

[honest umbra]

Canada that lost 4-0 to Netherlands a few days prior

[dim ledge]

Basically this yes @proud coyote

The Euro is just different

[burnt cedar]

That’s the first I’ve heard ngl

[honest umbra]

Ironic the team with arguably the two most talented players as well

[proud coyote]

Either way the UK sucks so I’m here for it

[burnt cedar]

Most people around me defo care about the World Cup more

[honest umbra]

Yea same lol, I thought WC went crazy

[dim ledge]

I feel like England and France can be the one exception because they're always on a international level

[honest umbra]

I definitely understand geopolitics and everything but from what I understood, WC was unparalleled

[dim ledge]

Everywhere else though while the world cup is still massive I think the euro matters more

[hollow wind]

The World Cup also they also were a lot more cynical because they knew they were going to lose lol. But I think the 2014 one(?) we did decently iirc. Was pretty crazy during that World Cup

[slow violet]

Belgium Lost to Slovakia 🤣

[burnt cedar]

I would say European countries who were at war with each other in the last 30 years I could see why the euros matter more

[honest umbra]

Like Brazil vs Senegal doesn’t matter much in terms of the background storylines but in terms of just football.. if Senegal win, it’s a memory for lifetime

[honest umbra]

It will be dubbed the lukaku game

Bro was everywhere in the wrong way

Had a 2 XG alone

[proud coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-fisher-tiger-tiger-tiger-one-piece-fishman-gif-576838084762497466

[burnt cedar]

2018 was that one 2014 England went out in the group stage

[dim ledge]

I also think it's a question of attainability

[hollow wind]

Oh right probably

I was there for that one too

[dim ledge]

Also

Not to go terribly into it

[honest umbra]

Also funny enough

England have actually have a WC

[dim ledge]

But given the context of France and England especially, there are definitely concepts of race at play

[honest umbra]

and not a euros before lmao

[sweet tree]

wait what kante is in the line up

[honest umbra]

Kante is starting

[burnt cedar]

He looks washed icl

[honest umbra]

In 2024

lmao he is

tchouameni has to be injured right?

or does deschamps not trust him at all?

[burnt cedar]

Would start Camavinga even if he wasn’t injured

[honest umbra]

one or the other makes more sense than Kante

[slow violet]

lol arn't all belgium losses considered the Lukaku games

[honest umbra]

today was special

[dim ledge]

Who has the one camavinga meme

[honest umbra]

this front 6 is crazy

like who’s defending here?

[dim ledge]

Kante and his shadow

[honest umbra]

ur making Kante and griezmmann track back?

dembele mbappe and thuram def ain’t doing it

[burnt cedar]

Olise starts for France

Better than both Thuram and Dembele

[honest umbra]

agreed

like France are prob still good based on talent alone

But liking other teams based on actual gameplay

[smoky fable]

Unexpected lineup I can’t lie

[desert palm]

Guysssss

He is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://fxtwitter.com/MLB/status/1802783577672945994

Letssssssssssss gooooooo

[smoky fable]

Gerrit Cole?

[desert palm]

[smoky fable]

Yep

[desert palm]

[honest umbra]

we lost Betts and Yamamoto this weekend

I can’t be happy

[desert palm]

yeahhhhhh

Mookie probably will come back by August

[honest umbra]

Idk if u saw the Betts pitch

[desert palm]

I think Yamamoto is out for a while though

[desert palm]

Yeah

[burnt cedar]

What a save

[honest umbra]

it looked so painful

[desert palm]

😬

[sweet tree]

fivk

what a save

[desert palm]

Definitely

Very uncommon for him to get hit over there he usually never does

[hollow wind]

This really blows man

[honest umbra]

was an awful pitch

[sweet tree]

lol what, thats was a ck

[hollow wind]

Betts almost definitely out of the MVP race now too

[dim ledge]

Holy shit

[honest umbra]

definitely

[dim ledge]

How was that not a corner

[desert palm]

This is happened exactly to Bryce Harper 2022

[hollow wind]

Yep

[honest umbra]

it’s been two dhs now in ohtani and ozuna

[desert palm]

Wdym

[honest umbra]

im joking

[simple seal]

https://vxtwitter.com/shatteredjaw/status/1802116742942249415

This is wild

[honest umbra]

but was good to see Ohtani hit 2 hrs yesterday

plus he will be back to leading off now

wonder if it will help him

[thorn hornet]

Wober og

[dim ledge]

There it is

Smh

[sweet tree]

[honest umbra]

Eober???

[hasty basin]

That's so aad

Sad

[hasty basin]

❤️

[slow violet]

with Dembele tho

[dim ledge]

Ugly one too

Scuffed clearance into a scuffed deflection

Good movement by Mbappe though

[burnt cedar]

Good finish from the defender as well

[dim ledge]

Honestly I'd be very annoyed if I was Austria

They should've had a corner

1000%

[hasty basin]

Referee mistake but

Idk if you can cancel a goal over that lol

[broken ledge]

Yeah unlucky to Austria

They might have something for us after the team talk

[hasty basin]

Thought I was a genius getting Baumgartner in fantasy

Mf missed a 1 on 1

😭

[dim ledge]

No....you really can't

But still, annoyed

LMFAO

[robust grotto]

Looks “normal” here… this is real bad dude

[proud coyote]

It can’t be on purpose, it’s like he got dragged from backstage in the middle of shaving his head

That Teo Hernandez scream lol so loud

[sweet tree]

...

[dim ledge]

Dude he has like

Lobotomy/brain surgery hair

France and England both competing to see who's play can serve as the better tranquilliser

[amber grove]

THIS REF IS A JOKE

SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO REF AGAIN

[thorn hornet]

A lot of blood

[broken ledge]

SFs retro "black in Spanish" league jerseys are so much nicer

[amber grove]

That right there is why Americans think soccer is dumb

That ref is French

[robust grotto]

Technically not a city connect but still a nice look

[dim ledge]

Yeah it isn't

Just much nicer than what we came up with for the city connects

[robust grotto]

Agree

[short flame]

Why is there a cub? Still decent looking jersey.

[sacred kite]

Why are so many city connects blue

Rockies. When the city connects look better than the regulars

[short flame]

It looks better than most teams regular jerseys. Was a few points away from an S tier

[dim ledge]

LOL

@dim kettle @rustic ore Justin Fields is currently behind Russel Wilson in QB hierarchy

Report: "not terribly accurate with the ball"

[dim kettle]

Some Bear fan is probably still thinking Fields just needed A, B, C , D. to happen for him to be a good QB

[dim ledge]

ABCD being the limbs of exodia

[nimble onyx]

And trophies as well unlike a certain Merseyside club

[dim ledge]

Oh you're still mad

[dim kettle]

Believe in the heart of the football?

[dim ledge]

LMFAO

[nimble onyx]

I'm chilling

[dim ledge]

That's okay honey football didn't start in 1993. We still have more than you ever will

Naw you big mad

It's cute though. Keep that energy

[nimble onyx]

I'm not even Belgian lol, I'm more Greek than Belgian

[dim ledge]

Cope then

[nimble onyx]

I only like them because of a certain ginger

for obvious reason

[dim ledge]

Yeah I mean

Odd reason to be mad for 4 hours then

Which makes it much funnier

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/davonne-rogers-pretends-to-be-shocked-surprised-gif-6175133

[dim ledge]

[nimble onyx]

because you came for the king

[dim ledge]

So you admit you're still mad

After saying you're chilling

Lmfao

Funny individual

I'm sowwy I insulted your crush

[nimble onyx]

I accept your apology

cheers

[dim ledge]

Tell him to play better next time

You're not greek btw, don't claim shit that ain't you

[nimble onyx]

I lived there for a year and was baptized there so I have good memories from my time there

Beautiful country

[dim ledge]

"here are things that don't make me greek"

[nimble onyx]

more

[dim ledge]

I'm more monkey than fish

Is what you're saying

[nimble onyx]

yea thats true

[dim ledge]

Maybe stick to your actual nationality idk

[short flame]

Support Colombia, we aren’t as picky as the Greeks. If you drink aguardiente you will get your citizenship

[dim ledge]

Yeh there you go

[nimble onyx]

[dim ledge]

Also a better choice than Belgium

[short flame]

Anything is

[dim ledge]

They actually win, something you care abou alot being a city fan

[short flame]

I’d rather support San Marino

At least they don’t pretend to be better than they are

[dim ledge]

4 hours later and still being heated is wild lol

[nimble onyx]

and something that you used to do as a Liverpool fan

[short flame]

Oh I’ve been heated against Belgium for a lot longer than that

[dim ledge]

Being so heated that you bring up club football when it's about international is great lol

[nimble onyx]

genuinely curious on how Fifa do rankings

I can't defend Belgium here they shit the bed

it is what it is

[dim ledge]

Fellating Greece for points when you barely stayed long enough to have a piss also is funny

Fascinating individual

[nimble onyx]

fair enough mate

[dim ledge]

Smart choice

[nimble onyx]

I forgot you were hate watching

[dim ledge]

Actually my best friend is Slovak so I was watching for him

[short flame]

They go in a room with pictures of every country, turn off the lights and pick at random. Obviously they make sure to put Belgium at the top of the pile

[nimble onyx]

that cant be too far off

[proud coyote]

city fans always getting in fights on the internet

might be the biggest reason to become a city fan, so you can stir the pot in public

[honest umbra]

yea becoming a city fan and getting into arguments about being relevant is a pretty good way of stirring the pot these days

[short flame]

Weirdly they only exist on internet

No

No

I refuse

To accept this reality

[short flame]

Aren’t you rivals?

[desert palm]

Yeah

I guess he’s a Yankee fan at heart but still I don’t wanna see that

[short flame]

Thank you for the B tier even if we don’t deserve it

[desert palm]

I don’t accept it. I don’t accept it.

[short flame]

Why did he join the cowboys

[desert palm]

Wasn’t he drafted by them?

[short flame]

Not a good enough excuse for me. I would never play for a rival club

[desert palm]

I mean, that’s what happened with Eli Manning lol

But sadly, you can’t do what he did anymore

I think they made it that if you were drafted by a team, you have to sign with them if you want to play that year in the NFL

[short flame]

What did he do?

[short flame]

I guess that way teams protect each other

[desert palm]

Just straight up, refused to play with them, even if he was drafted by them

So the chargers made a deal with the giants that they would still draft Eli Manning

But they were trade their draft picks

Because the giants drafted Philip Rivers

With a couple of other picks involved

And the rest is history

[short flame]

Who did he get drafted by?

[desert palm]

Chargers

At the time in San Diego

Honestly

I think Colorado should be higher

I really love the colour scheme

Alot

[desert palm]

I agree I really like it. I just don’t like it as the other ones.

apparently, it is a hot take to like it to begin with lol

[dim ledge]

That's actually fair

Those green pants are just delicious

Dak going to the giants!

Enjoy trey lance

[hasty mesa]

Dak to the Giants being a legit possibility is crazy

[hasty mesa]

LOL

[desert palm]

You know, I would actually take that over Daniel Jones

[desert palm]

But until that happens, I refuse to accept that he is a Yankees fan

Just like I pretend that Nestor Cortez is not a Cowboys fan lol

[hasty mesa]

If we got him cheap yeah but I ain’t paying Dak what he wants

[celest zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/embarrassed-adventure-time-jake-stick-stab-gif-4674824

Cowboys fans after 1 year of trey lance

[hasty mesa]

If we go bridge QB I want someone else

[desert palm]

Look, I was not anti-JJ McCarthy yet apparently everyone else was

[hasty mesa]

I wonder if we’re playing the long game for Arch Manning

[celest zephyr]

Lol he’d make the giants so much better

[hasty mesa]

Nabers though is LEGIT

I’m not mad

[celest zephyr]

Idk man I’d rather at least make a few playoff runs

[desert palm]

He is legit, but who is gonna throw him the ball!

[celest zephyr]

Cuz losing just absolutely blows chemistry

[hasty mesa]

Nabers is here 5-10 years DJ is here for 1

Is how I see it

[celest zephyr]

Like unless you guys want to just toil around and be the pistons

Idk I’d rather not making losing a habit

[desert palm]

https://tenor.com/view/daniel-jones-confused-giants-49ers-gif-18301987017477621283

[hasty mesa]

Giants are not the Pistons thankfully

[desert palm]

This guy?!?!?!,?!

[hasty mesa]

Even now

[desert palm]

At least they aren’t the White Sox either

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

[celest zephyr]

If its Daniel jones for another 4 years who knows lol

[desert palm]

Who just like the Pistons are having a historically bad season

[hasty mesa]

DJ is done after this year

[desert palm]

I don’t care what anyone says. We should’ve given the contract to Saquon Barkley and franchise tagged Daniel Jones.

[hasty mesa]

The question is who to replace him

If the 2025 class is actually arse, then bridge QB

[desert palm]

Is that the projection? That 2025 is not a good QB year.

[hasty mesa]

Yep

[hasty mesa]

Yeah outside of Shedeur but I doubt we get him

[desert palm]

Btw

Already 1-0 Mets

And the game just started

[celest zephyr]

Bridge qb could be a painful time

[hasty mesa]

Bridge isn’t the end of the world

[celest zephyr]

Not sure I’d want to watch teddy bridgewater or jimmy g level of qb play for 2-3 years

It is but unless the giants have a ton of talent on both sides it ain’t a good way to win more than like 6-7 games a year

[desert palm]

Does anyone remember the Mets Tim Tebow experiment?

[hasty mesa]

There’s a chance that we draft a rookie anyway in 2025 since Schoen and Daboll are good at developing QBs

[weak gull]

I mean…the qb class is hard to judge with the college season yet to be played

3-4 guys move up every year

[rustic ore]

Anyone tickle your fancy? 😏

[rustic mountain]

Love aint leaving GB

[desert palm]

Honestly, bridge Joe Flacco I would take it

Look what happened with the Browns lol

[celest zephyr]

Brissett or heinicke ain’t horrible

[weak gull]

I just think it’s difficult to say shedeur is the only good looking qb

Beck, Ewers, Leonard could all come on strong, and you never know what name will surprise

[celest zephyr]

Love and Tua are just there by technicality

[hasty mesa]

Literally half this list over Jones.

[weak gull]

Hell, someone comes out of nowhere every year atp

[hasty mesa]

Depends on the money

I would take Fields in 2 seconds

The giants are fools to not draft a qb in 25 imo

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/sushichaeng-reaction-drinking-drinking-wine-shade-gif-20924464

[rustic mountain]

I think Ewers takes another step. Idk why but I think so

[hasty mesa]

Yeah we need to

[restive vector]

LETS GO MAVS

[hasty mesa]

I want Daboll and Schoen to get THEIR guy

[proud coyote]

this is par for the WR drama course, im still not worried

[celest zephyr]

I doubt he’s gone but honestly if he’s going to cause a ton of drama I can’t be arsed

[desert palm]

I want to publicly apologize to you because I thought the tigers would be good and I did project them to be good. I think I cursed them. lol

[rustic ore]

Dude in his feels seems like

[hasty mesa]

Maye was the guy but Pats sat

[rustic mountain]

Second round pick and a signed photo of Tom Brady, take it or leave it

[hasty mesa]

So gotta wait next year

[celest zephyr]

Honestly a second for aiyuk wouldn’t be terrible

[desert palm]

My Pre-season predictions btw

[desert palm]

https://tenor.com/view/may-its-gonna-be-gif-21401434

[rustic mountain]

I'd give up a second for Aiyuk, make him our top wideout and let Polk and Baker and Bourne play underneath him

[rustic mountain]

Thanks again for beating us last year!

[rustic ore]

Perm JT was a trip I tell you what

[proud coyote]

we aren't trading aiyuk for a second this year, it's silly to think we would

[desert palm]

? Wdym I don’t understand.

[rustic mountain]

Oh I am just messing. We wouldn't be the team to get him either way

[proud coyote]

every single NFL team with contract space would give a 2nd to us for him

[celest zephyr]

Ofc not it’d only be draft time next year if he doesn’t extend

[rustic ore]

Talking about Timberlake back in the NSYNC days

[desert palm]

Oh yeah

[weak gull]

Well depending on how things shake they may not have the perfect timing

25 has to have their guy

Hell, Dart, Howard, Iamaleava could all take leaps this year too

[proud coyote]

we'd sooner tag him
