Neil and Raf’s Textual Healing (Part Two)
3:50: Hell freezes over. Raf: CASTILLO!!!!! AND HELL FROZE OVER. MB90 OFF THE PITCH!!!! Neil: Omfg. Good job Bobbo. AKA, the only thing that Bobbo did right all game.

Neil and Raf’s Textual Healing (Part One)
That game sucked. I’m pissed. I’m not even going to analyze anything. I’m just going to go over my real-time text message conversation that I had with Neil the entire time: 3:00 p.m. ET: I curse out the 4-letter network for not cutting to the US game when I realize 25 minutes have gone by. [...]

Here’s what Bobbo is “going to do” for his starting 11 I think: Keeper: Guzan Defenders: Bornstein [...]

U.S./Slovakia Wrapup – Crowley
So there I was Friday night, minding my own business, watching some meaningless TV. I was having an internal debate about the merits of spending yet another night at Sh’booms.
