That and USA making Honduras play in -19c tempts makes me think Concacaf might be a bit mental

 

as Paulie (miss you bud if you ever lurk here) once drew:

 

I can't remember where, but in one of the Central American countries, their fans set off fireworks continuously for like eight hours outside the opposing team hotel all night the night before the match.

 

In case, like me, you missed Canada's first goal last night, here's the slow mo...

 

This is like peak FIFA '19 shit.

 

The premium flapping at that ball in slow mo really makes that highlight.

 

Somehow just got a pang of nostalgia over the mention of Paulie.

I've been on this site way too long haha

 

Yeah, I remember him well too. I hope he's safe and sound with his family and kids.

 

I’m still Facebook friends with him and his wife. The kids are double digits in age now, if you want to feel really old.

 

Damn. I remember when Pax was predicting results for games as a toddler.

 

Jesus. I remember him/ them doing the World Cup sweepstakes draw. That would have been maybe 2014?

 

When Ed got Spain on the first ball

 

Bryan Gil getting rave reviews from his debut for Valencia. So glad it's just a straight loan and that he'll be retuning. I really think there is massive potential with him and I hope we get to see it at Tottenham.

 

Remember the revelation of “duck, duck, grey duck”?

 

uhhhh, Shrek

 

@Paulie come back

 

this is his avatar on here, I just learned by that quote above this

 

This shoot out between Cameroon and Egypt is TENSE

 

That last penalty

 

The moment i saw how short his run up was, i knew he’d miss.

 

Just going back to the Raith Rovers Debacle. I don’t know if this a Scottish colloquialism But they went for the “don’t back down… double down” approach.

obviously now back tracking but interesting to see if those walking away will return.

 

They did it, the absolute madlads

 

After Real Madrid's loss, this years Copa Del Rey semi finals will be between Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano, Real Betis, & Valencia.

Huge opportunity for these clubs to win some silverware.

 

Put your money on Athletic getting to the final and losing again.

 

Always watch Betis!
