I've been a K-state fan long enough to cheer for a front runner, you ding dongs

By K-State I meant good enough to occasionally win and compete for titles, never really worried about finishing dead last, but every time we think we have a shot at Natty getting A&M'd or Baylor'd. My Love of the Chiefs and the Blues also falls in this same general mindset. Royals somewhat.

Will look into Everton and Tottenham.

I worry he'll die and burn all his notes on his death bed leaving us with nothing more than fan fiction for an ending, but I worry more that his grumpy old ass will eff up the ending if he gets there just to piss everyone off

Since this is turning into a help choose a European team thread I'll join in. Criteria: 1) can't be a perennial favorite, I tend to cheer for underdogs though preferably not a perennial bottom feeder either (I want KState not KU) 2) must have some likeable players but a little toughness is appreciated

Also, if they have some history of ripping their fans heart out on a regular basis I'll probably fall hard

omg this looks so small time-y

kim carnes isn't here to say it, so i will.

every mls game looks small-timey

Yes but there's a difference between, say, Sporting KC @ Sporting Park small-timey and KC Wizards @ Community America Ballpark small-timey

Don't know how much difference he'd have actually made but Neymar is going to be even more popular than he already was

this isn't on the keeper. he didn't have a prayer.

Well, someone has to die.  This is South America.

Yea, this isn't on the keeper but if I was him I'd be out of the country quickly with no plans to return anytime soon

I cannot watch right now, but am recording it.

Is Germany just shutting down and playing D now?  Or are they still trying to score?

well, they just scored again, so....

It doesn't look like Germany is trying to just rub it in, but they're not shutting it down. Brazil looks like they don't give a crap anymore. They're just resigned to the anal rape.

holy crap billy butler is still sitting at 2 home runs on the season.

This guy Lee on BITB is really going off on him. Lee is like 80 and says he's the worst player he's ever seen. 

while that's obviously exaggerated the 2014 billy butler is pretty damn low on the list of all time players in terms of value they bring to a team.

What's terrible is that as bad as Hoz has been he still leads Billy in most hitting stats and can actually play D.

Yea, sorry don't get the obsession either (agree great ass tho), but Charli XCX is the hotter one in this video and she's nowhere close to the level of Ariana Grande in Problems.

Salvy will start the All-Star game at Catcher (Matt Wieters won the vote but is hurt). Holland made the team but Wade Davis did not.

edit: Gordo made the team as a reserve.

it's a crime that davis didn't make it. he's the best reliever in the american league.

I'm assuming there'll be the final vote thing again. Gotta think he'll be on it

The thing about being a good GK is that the goal IS rough ridin' huge. The best (and Howard was fantastic at this in that game) put themselves in position to make the goal as small as possible. During the flow of play it's much more difficult to place a ball in the exact spot you want it as it is on a PK or a set piece. If the goalie had positioned himself correctly the player is left with very little space to aim, meaning anything but a perfect kick will appear to be "right at" the keeper.

So the credit should go to the rest of the team for keeping those holes small.

I hope for his sake that Colombian defender who kneed Neymar never has to play in Brazil again. He's probably already going to get the book thrown at him by FIFA and Brazil fans are acting like he's the devil incarnate.
