Leicester City are the Premier League champions now. What an amazing achievement.

Leicester City are the Premier League champions now. What an amazing achievement.

But at what cost?!?!

It's like some kids FIFA career mode was transmitted into real life.

I don't really follow soccer at all, since I'm not a Goddamn foreigner, but this is a pretty good video all the same.

Euro 2016 is under way right now. The first match of the championship has just finished - it was France vs. Romania. The French won 2:1, but the Romanian team (surprisingly) wasn't a pushover and fought quite fiercely. They had plenty of good attempts at goal that were only foiled by bad luck.

 

[trip2themoon]

LOL England.

Think the England result was fair since their goal came from the poorest defended direct free kick I've ever seen.

Now that the U.S.A. has been eliminated from the Under 20 World Cup, I hope England can win it. That country could use some happiness right now. Plus they eliminated Mexico today, which is great.

 

[AnAspieWithAVengeance]

As a Man U fan, I feel so happy about our start of the season

And then I see Man City above us and cry just a little inside.

God Damn Goal Difference.

Egypt qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1990. I gotta say, admire how completely fucking nuts Egyptians are for Soccer. I guess kebabs can be pretty cool sometimes.

 

[A Witty Name]

The USA is not going to the World Cup.

They've failed to qualify after losing to Trinidad & Tobago 2-1 while both Honduras and Panama beat Mexico and Costa Rica respectively.

 

[cypocraphy]

This is fucking bizarre and like a bad dream. Please shoot me.

So, when and how do we blame Trump for this? I know someone will.

Seriously, I want to get sad about this like you guys... Unfortunately, IMHO, it was only a matter of time before we sucked so much at the craft in a situation where it truly counts that we couldn't even make it past Qualifiers... At least, this time anyway, we're saved the trouble of getting eliminated in the group stage games.

Honestly, compared to the likes of Europe and South America (especially), we (the US) just ain't good at the craft because we don't truly respect it like those examples actually do, courtesy of their time and dedication to training people who want to really play the sport (besides make a nice career out of it, as it pays so damn well, especially in those examples.).

Well, unless you're on the Women's side of things in the sport, that is.

 

[cypocraphy]

At least in the Under-17 World Cup the USA are doing well. They're out of their group with a game to spare. Hopefully they beat Colombia tomorrow morning and can get a weaker seed for the round of 16.

 

[cypocraphy]

The U-17 USA are the chad team.

 

[cypocraphy]

I will triple post to announce that Italy didn't qualify lol

 

[Soccer Hooligan]

I'm here to shitpost about the WC qualifications, since we have the full roster now.

USA and Netherlands didn't qualify. Love is over.

Italy didn't qualify, which is not surprising since their national sport is diving, not football.

England will probably do well enough until they inevitably go up against Germany, upon which they will be destroyed as per usual. As with the last two WCs Rooney will send the ball literally everywhere except in to the net.

Russia has been a joke since they stopped using Arshavin or maybe I'm just butthurt because he was one of my favorites and they are only here solely because they're the hosts

Matches I'm hoping to see: Denmark v Sweden, England v Spain, Germany v Russia

Germany is probably going to win again, which is fine I guess.

 

[cypocraphy]

Bradley is such a cunt now lol

Motherfucker, you couldn't get a result against a Trinidad & Tobago "B" team.

 

[Army Burger]

Rooney retired from the national team in August.

Rooney retired from the national team in August.

About goddamn time. Dude's great on the league level but.

It's time for the next generation of English strikers to disappoint at the world stage
