AUBA!!!

Insane touch by Alba to start that move. Wow.

 

Vini had the most blatant dive you’ve ever seen. Beautiful, really. Red card worthy dive.

 

ARAUJO!!!!

 

No more shit talking from me about Dembele re: his contract demands.

 

Xavi has them passing like all eleven are him. Wild.

 

Any major team not trying to snipe the Araujo contract negotiations from us is making a huge mistake. Do not want to see him go. Playing out of position and keeping Vini in his pocket the whole time? Immense.

 

Ooof, Ferran, you have to bury that.

 

yeah, like that!!!

Are we gonna Manita?!

 

Real in shambles

 

AUBA!!!!!!!!!!

 

Me: I wonder how El Classico went…

Oh.

 

Is that score flattering to Barca or has it really been that bad for Real?

 

Barca could’ve easily scored ten. That’s how bad Madrid were. Auba missed two sitters, so did Ferran. Memphis and Dembele missed one each.

 

An 18 year-old former refugee scored for Atalanta on his Serie A debut today. He's only been at the club since February. Well worth delving into his story if you get the chance.

 

I know that Benzema being out has a lot to do with it, but Madrid were so bad they made Eric Garcia look like a world class centerback.

 

Assumed this was a bad translation and they meant missile. Nope. Actual grenades..

 

I am constantly forgetting that “missile” is a very different thing in American English than British English.

 

Very nervous for the USMNT games this week. Lot of injuries. In Mexico to start too.

 

What does it mean in american english?

it has two meanings here: either a thrown item or a projected bomb

 

It's the rocket powered bomb/weapon variety here only. If it's a thrown item, it's usually just like "threw beer cans" or "hurled objects."
