World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

[Jimjamesak]

There it is.

Messi scores to become #1 al-time at the World Cup

Stands around doing nothing, makes a run and scores.

 

[Kepler]

Buckner was Hall of Very Good. In the wrong place at the wrong time, but career I would have loved to have that guy.

 

[Kepler]

Perhaps even Steve Bartman too

If we're opening this up to non-athletes, my choice is Gavrilo Princip.

 

[Kepler]

Austrian guy suddenly discovers FIFA rigs results.

Why, so didst thou: seem they grave and learned?
Why, so didst thou: come they of noble family?
Why, so didst thou: seem they religious?
Why, so didst thou: or are they spare in diet,
Free from gross passion or of mirth or anger,
Constant in spirit, not swerving with the blood,
Garnish'd and deck'd in modest complement,
Not working with the eye without the ear,
And but in purged judgment trusting neither?
Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem:
And thus thy fall hath left a kind of blot,
To mark the full-fraught man and best indued
With some suspicion. I will weep for thee;
For this revolt of thine, methinks, is like
Another fall of man.

This stadium is as ugly as the Seattle stadium is amazing.

Not milking it, but Bill Buckner comes to mind . Perhaps even Steve Bartman too

Namath and SBIII

 

[Kepler]

Hard to equalize when you're nailed to your keeper.

 

[Kepler]

LOL. He doesn't suck.

Ibid.

ARG 2 - 0 AUT
Messi 90+5'

 

[Kepler]

Namath and SBIII

He was already a celebrity when he did that.

 

[ticapnews]

28 World Cup games.
18 World Cup goals.
Five goals in two games.

Your turn, Kylian...

 

[Kepler]

"Ibid."

Well done.

 

[Kepler]

Your turn, Kylian...

He has 3 more WCs after this one. We'll see.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Austria didn't even play that badly. Messi is just Messi.

 

[Kepler]

"The House that Jerry Built"

 

[Jimjamesak]

Messi also broke Marta's record for goals at the World Cup with that last goal.

 

[Russell Jaslow]

Buckner was the opposite of milking it. He moved to the middle of nowhere to avoid the spotlight.

Ditto for Scott Norwood.
