Joey Mercury in that ladder match. When they showed that shot of him out on the floor with his eye looking like it was sticking out and blood pissing out of his head, it shit me up good.

There’s now a separate thread for international tournaments this summer, so this thread is now for domestic discussion only.

We have the 2024 Copa America and 2024 Euros about to start and as per normal, they can have their own thread, Please keep any discussion of domestic football to the usual football thread and keep this one only for international discussion.
The same rules apply here as in the normal footy thread. A bit of friendly piss-taking is ok, Xenophobia or deliberately trying to bait a reaction out of a losing country is not.
So get to predicting. As for the Euros, it’s the usual story with the big hitters. Germany are (nearly) always in with a chance of winning but as hosts, they didn’t have to qualify so they’ve missed out in two years of competitive matches (the Nations League just isn’t the same and besides, Germany were shit in it anyway). Spain, Netherlands, Portugal and Italy are all there. But they’re all pretty much the same to me, talented squads and easily capable of winning it all but will probably have one game where they’ll slip up. France? Pick your trope about the French National team in tournaments and apply it here. The chances of Belgium finally winning something during their golden period have diminished and they could be one of the teams that surprise everyone by failing to get out of their group. Hungary will turn a few heads.
My prediction? It’s coming home. I’m a Scotland fan so there’s no bias here, I just have this strange feeling in my gut that England are going to win it all. (Sorry England fans, my predictions are usually shit, so there’s the kiss of death).
As for Copa America…. Argentina. Obvious, predictable, inevitable. (So congratulations to Uruguay on winning it all)

Freddy Adu? A 15 year old kid who could have had the world at his feet and was either destined for greatness playing for a top european club or the most over hyped athlete ever, he ended up in swedens 3rd division 😂 Did he ever actually have a hit?

Sometime next week I’ll start up a separate thread for the international tournaments and this one can stay open for discussion about club football.

They just know how to win that trophy. I don’t think Real have lost a European Cup final since Liverpool in 1981.

no champions league final thread? Wouldn’t have a separate thread for it. I’m not even watching it, although I’m pretty sure Dortmund’s pressing will come to nothing and Vinicius will score in the 77th minute or something like that and Real will yet again be Champions. I really hope I’m wrong though.

I think a huge number of people in the UK don't know that She's the One by Robbie Williams is a cover, even though it was written by his main collaborator I thought it was written by Karl Wallinger. Wasn’t Williams’ main collaborator Guy Chambers? I know Chambers was in World Party too but didn’t think he wrote Shes’s the One.

Robocop - For years I watched the censored/cut version it wasn't until much later I realised there was the true version with all the additional scenes of violence. The UK censored broadcast of that is legendary. I’m still convinced that in Perfect Dark when some of the bad guys say “why me” when you shoot them, that’s a tribute to the censored version.

greenland apparently have applied for membership of ... CONCACAF!!! can't see that happening, since it's danish territory that's like gibraltar being spanish LOL! It’s not like that though as it’s normal for dependencies to play in the federation that they’re geographically in, rather than where the controlling country is located. Bermuda is a UK territory, yet their National team plays in CONCACAF, American Samoa plays in the Oceania Confederation etc.

Forty years ago today, 39 football fans lost their lives at Heysel Stadium in Brussels. I’m not for second trying to excuse the Liverpool fans who charged at the Juventus fans but a European Cup final should never have been taking place at a stadium that was literally falling apart. RIP to the 39.

Survivor Series 93. Yokozuna and Taker are brawling outside the ring, Yoko slams Taker’s head into the stairs, Taker immediately snaps his head upwards and turns his head sharply to stare at Yokozuna. Yoko looks absolutely terrified and genuinely looks like he’s just shat his breeks. It’s the greatest sell Yoko ever did.
