SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

Double booked?

 

I have a feeling this black Japanese keeper is NOT REALLY called Suzuki. I also have a feeling he's not really a goalkeeper.

 

Eh? Lol

Sweden got into a playoff because of how they'd played in a totally different tournament.

 

Phone lines down?

Call Verizon.

 

I missed that part. You just said they didn't go.

 

Ireland went to the playoffs and lost to the Czechs on penalties.

Sweden got Ukraine and Poland who were kind of distracted

 

Japan to play Brazil. I'd give Japan a great chance.

Sweden will qualify, probably play Biafra in their next game.

 

That's my lot for tonight

 

Did they at least play better than Germany today?

Also it's not Germany's fault if Poland was distracted.

 

Agreed. I would just replace the word great with reasonable.

 

Literally, REED Never Heard Turkey Pronounced "Turk-uh-Yay" Until Australia Played USA the Other Day...



REED

 

Yeah, Japan is a live underdog against Brazil.

 

Show some respect to ichiro's son

 

They were fed up with sounding like fowl, allegedly

Same Motherfuckers who were known as foot stools for centuries

 

It Must Be Thanksgiving, Because Turk-uh-Yay is Cooked...



REED

 

Not Sooooo Fast, Says Turk-uh-Yay....



REED

 

Aljamain Sterling Appeared to Have Scored a Goal, But It Doesn't Count...



REED

 

And Just Like That, 2-1 Turk-uh-Yay....USA Seemed to Be Dwelling On the Goal That WASN'T & Got Caught Slipping...



REED

 

What do you think about Russell Crowe deciding to coach the US instead of Australia?

 

Dude Looks EXACTLY Like Russell Crowe...



REED

 

Since that Early Goal, Turk-uh-Yay's Been Fairly Dominant...Much More PHYSICAL & CLEANER w/the Ball...



REED

 

Full half to go but i think if the U.S. loses it will do them better than riding a wave of optimism.

 

Excellent hit.

 

Can't wait for Netherlands vs Morocco!

 

What I'm predicting from the US is that we get past Bosnia but then lose to Egypt in the rd of 16.

 

Tough Way to Lose But agREED...

Being Constantly Patted On the Back and Told Their Shit DOESN'T Stink Was Creating a FALSE Sense of Security...A Few Bodies Will Fall OFF the USMNT Bandwagon But That Could Ultimately REFOCUS the Squad On What's Important...



REED

 

We sat most of our starters. No one has hopped off the bandwagon -- yet. But they will when we inevitably dont get the results that delusional US soccer fans are expecting.

All this blind "Ya gotta believe" bullshit coming from them. Yeah, belief only gets you so far...

Theres too big of a talent/skill gap between the US and the elite countries to pull off anything big.

 

Years ago on the Colbert Reports they had a character on portraying the "German Ambassador to the U.N." Hans Beinholtz.

Jurgen Klinsmann was coaching the U.S. at the time and he made some kind of comment about how the team is improving but winning the world cup at that stage was not very realistic. Of course a lot of rah rah Americans weren't happy about that. So Hans says "so you are saying he should lie to them and say they are better than he knows them to be? NEIN! To love somebody is to confront them with their own worthlessness"

 

I wouldn't be so sure you get past Bosnia.

 

Last night's results were terrible for Scotland
