Dammit. Now I’m going to have to sit through commercials for the next three hours to watch this American cinematic masterpiece.

Boston College at Miami 1984

This might be my earliest recollection of a sporting event. I don’t remember anything about the game, but I remember my family was traveling back home after visiting relatives for Thanksgiving.

I think it was a Friday. We had just checked into a motel and my mother wanted to go get something to eat, but my father refused to leave until the game was over. He sat on the edge of one of the beds watching the game.

I have no idea to this day why he was so invested in this game, but it paid off.

I highly doubt the U.S. was eager to open up the knockout stage on Sunday, after playing on Thursday.

Today was a rest day for the other 30 teams remaining, while two joke squads without a chance of advancing very far played a match. The real tournament resumes on Monday.

South Korea has been in turmoil for a few years now. There’s been constant political scandals, insurrections, and widespread corruption probes recently.

That was a lot of fun.

* Note to self:
Telemundo does not go to commercials during the hydration breaks. Instead they scan the crowd focusing on the beautiful fans.

Please remember to switch to their broadcast for those three minutes.

I suggest watching the real game: Colombia v. Portugal.

Two quality teams, but more importantly, two scantily-clad fanbases full of beautiful women.

Are the poachers in that region typically local Australians or foreigners?

Thats a nightmare of a day.

Crawl out of bed in late June to go to your shi++y roofing job, only to meet a guy that drugs you, takes you on a rooftop “date”, and leaves you unconscious and baking in the sun on the roof after he’s done.

Subway

I feel like I’m their most loyal customer. There is one practically across the street from my house, less than a 3 minute drive.

Yet, I stop by and grab a sandwich only about once a month. It’s always around noon. The busiest I’ve ever witnessed has been two tables occupied by a total of three people and two others waiting in line.

Usually it’s just me and one other customer. Occasionally there will be a Door Dash driver at the drive-thru window.

They have only looked good in one match so far. Definitely beatable.

And it was primarily in the second half against a bad New Zealand squad.

This ain’t the 2018 Belgium team. In their last two WC appearances they are 2-3-1. Wins over Canada and New Zealand, and a loss to Morocco.
