Geezus. Scary stuff. And these guys go through rigorous medicals are in top, top shape. But heart issues... scary and seemingly difficult to see.

Watched it live. It was JT without the thumbs up. Scary and leaves you shaking for a while.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Great news indeed

FWIW (zilch, basically) Finland won 1-0.

had a feel similar to the Leafs after JT went down. It was impossible for them to recover emotionally for that game.

xgf 62.3% for Italy

I like the youth movement— in the past Italia has tried to squeeze the last drop from a bunch of vets

77.6xgf% officially.

Canada wins 1-0 and gets the away goal in Haiti. Tuesday determines if they make the final round of qualifying.

Nice. Love the away goal. Our guys have the skill to play keep away in the next game.

Belgium flexed today. Barely broke a sweat.

Watch out.

Nice photo.

But they got royally smurfed.

England looks....sexy? We'll see if they can avoid getting frustrated.

 

[zeke]

Hmm they may have wasted that hot start. Croatia's experience becomes much more dangerous now.

 

[zeke]

Wasted opportunities. Now the pressure starts amping up.

 

[zeke]

Just when Croatia looks like they're taking over England slices and dices them for a very nice goal.

NORTH MACEDONIA!!!

Man, I was such a Lazio homer back in the day that I genuinely thought that Goran Pandev would be a fucking superstar. Nice career but not quite what I would have wanted.
