“7th date — Hmmm, his outlook on money is so different than mine. Am I okay with that? Yeah, I think I’m okay with that.”
Glad you’re having fun and all, but just an FYI, if these dates actually develop into a serious relationship (1+ years), the different outlook on money could be a real issue.
Well the Champions League is an annual event (hence my comparison to the NFL) and outside of even years where you have the World Cup/Euro, it’s generally the best showcase of soccer you can get.
I never understood the whole “I’m American!! Fuck soccer!!” mantra. You can be patriotic and still have love and appreciation for the game. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Your points are very fair and it’s hard to disagree with them because they’re honestly a matter of preference. What I find most exciting is that I never know when there’ll be a goal and whether the play that’s developing RIGHT NOW will be the play that creates the goal. That factor, along with the beauty and precision of the scoring play once it does develop, are what keeps me coming back.
I’ve tried to get into hockey and my dad is a hardcore Sharks fan (I know…), but it’s a bit too erratic for me. And I totally agree with you about diving and the bullshit calls in general. I’m still bitter about that Real Madrid penalty vs. Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinal.
I didn’t say all international soccer, just a few tournaments that bring out the best of the best. The 90% of international soccer that’s outside those tournaments is trash. As a side note, the annual Champions League final draws 3-4x the worldwide viewership of the Super Bowl. And UEFA does it right by having it on a fucking Saturday night (local time).
I struggle to understand why lots of scoring is necessary. Look at basketball: lots of scoring so there’s not even really a point to watch until the fourth quarter. It’s honestly quite boring. With soccer, a 1-0 game can be exciting because you never know when that goal will come, whether on the 3rd minute or 83rd.
At least this year we have the World Cup. Downvote me all you want, but nothing in sports matches the intensity and excitement of a world-class soccer game. I’m not talking about stuff like MLS, that’s trash, or even the European domestic leagues. Soccer at the highest level (World Cup, Euro, Champions League) is as exciting as sports gets.
Arrived back in the US on Friday, still haven’t opened up my credit card account to look at how much 2 weeks in Europe cost me. T’s & P’s for when I finally get the courage to do so.
Had to do these in college during public accounting recruiting and they sucked. Few things are worse than having to suck up to people 3 years older than you and making a below average starting salary, but with my GPA on the lower side of things, I had to get on my knees and give it my all.
We get lunch catered (I know, #blessed), but it comes at 11 am since a lot of other teams get here early because they work market hours. Given that I’m usually eating breakfast at 6:30 am anyway, I don’t mind since I tend to get hungry by 11.

Pro tip for your fiancée: you can buy liquid egg whites at Trader Joe’s. They’re a total game changer.

“Go Shorty, It’s Your Birthday”” is and has never been a 50 Cent song. Next time, try a bit harder to be old.
In 2018, men and women are equal, but in some ways, men are still more equal than women.

Special qualities in a woman that mean you should never let her go:
1. She won’t nag you.
Bonjour from Paris, PGP!
We have bags of jerky all over the kitchen. As a result, I probably have enough sodium in my bloodstream to start my own salt trade.
Came here to say just that. My dad had one recently and he was put under complete anesthesia. Can’t imagine going through an endoscopy while awake.

I saw a movie about this once. It was called Hard at Work 69.
Don’t see the problem here. If she swipes left, she’ll never know you swiped right and if she swipes right, you guys can have some great ex sex.
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!
