disappointed but realistic

thankfully, i have been watching the USA play soccer enough to know when i'm being fed bullshit. all the talk leading up to the Argentina game was how they were going to press them, go out and be positive, force Argentina to play defense, blah blah fucking blah. all i needed to see was who the coach replaced the 3 suspended starters with. when i saw it was three veterans, i knew he was blowing smoke up the ass of the fans all the time. and sure enough, 3 minutes in, it was painfully evident. and, who the fuck thought the best way to defend the best player in the world was to give him all the time and space he wanted? jesus fucking christ. as Landon Donovan said in the second half, if the USA was serious about winning this game, there should have been 11 or 12 yellow cards issued of them hacking players to the ground. and answer me this... who the fuck can win when you never get a shot on goal. all that being said, even if the USA would have played their best game, they still would have lost to Argentina. you can tell that team is hell bent on ending their 23 year drought. of course, a small part of me would love to see them lose in the final.

Copa America Update:
Argentina won last night 4-0. they will play the winner of Chile vs. Colombia in the finals on Sunday. the loser of that game plays the USA in the 3rd place game on Saturday.

Euro 2016 Update:
Turkey defeated Czech Republic yesterday 2-0. Croatia stunned Spain to win the group 2-1. i believe that now puts Spain on the side of the bracket they didn't want to be on. today, Iceland is leading Austria 1-0 at halftime. Portugal and Hungary are 1-1 at halftime. later this afternoon, Italy takes on Ireland and Sweden plays Belgium.

the New York Yankees lost last night 8-4. i'm at the point now where i hope they keep losing so they have to trade all the veterans away and start getting younger. with that being said, hopefully another loss is coming up this afternoon.

Deadliest Catch was great last night. the end of the show was amazing. i'm not sure i could stay calm on a boat on fire in the middle of the Bering Sea.

Maya & Marty was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground, Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons and my guilty pleasure of summer, Big Brother. i'll be watching NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

Hungary just scored to go up 2-1 on Portugal. and now Portugal has just tied the game at 2-2.

i've been flipping between the soccer games and the Cleveland Cavaliers victory parade. i think nearly half of the state of Ohio is at that parade right now.

well, Hungary just scored to go back up, 3-2. this game is fucking crazy right now. if Portugal loses, they are eliminated from Euro 2016.

we've been seeing some weird fucking bugs in the house. not sure if it's the rain or the fact i sprayed around the house that's driven them inside. i think i killed them but we've got a bug guy coming out later today to check out the situation.

at some point today, i'd love to get some writing done, maybe a shower and catch up on some podcasts. of course, it's also supposed to storm like hell tonight. high winds, tornado warnings, etc. good times.

CR7 just scored for Portugal to make the game 3-3. fucking crazy. Austria scored to make their game with Iceland 1-1.

that's all for me today kids. looks like this is going to be a crazy afternoon.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
