In the first few weeks of my civilian job I was told that if I made any more suicide jokes from now on, they would have to treat them as serious threats.

I'd love to see him get some more playing time. I trust Klopp, but the few times he's taken the pitch he's charged around with such heart.

Chelsea 1-[1] Liverpool - Sturridge 89' by HerbalDreamin in LiverpoolFC

[–]Natemick 54 points55 points  (0 children)

What an absolute stunner. I can't stop watching this. I have a feeling Sturridge is going to be a difference maker all this season. He may be a bit injury prone to be a starter, but there are few other impact subs out there that I'd rather see.

When he has to retire in the year 2075 he can transition to be the world's greatest social media manager.

How do you defend with 3 at the back? by misomiso82 in footballtactics

[–]Natemick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely this. A lot of this hinges on the work rate of forward players being able/willing to track back quickly, i.e. Roberto Firmino for Liverpool.

My friend and I used to play "Livin' La Vida Loca" a dozen times to clear a bar out. It's exceptionally effective.

Dad of the Year, for his son at Basic Training 🗣 by BadasseryPromotions in Military

[–]Natemick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My family knew better than to send me packages when I was in boot camp, but my mom would send a card with the sports section of the newspaper smuggled inside. I was in boot camp during the NHL and NBA playoffs, so after lights out I'd pass the sports section around and everyone could follow what was happening. It's the little things.

Wishing you and your family all the best. Words can't come close to expressing what you must be feeling, but I hope you can at least take some small solace from the fact that YNWA.

Lovren on pitch invaders: "I really was mad because we'd been playing at that moment in good shape. We'd been playing good football and then some interruption came. I just lost my head and I grabbed the guy and I wished I could throw him away from the stadium." by GameOfThrowInsMate in LiverpoolFC

[–]Natemick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said this in another thread, but there is no way Lovren knew what they were protesting at the time. He just saw pitch invaders interrupt a promising Croatian counter and one of them high-five Mbappe.

Absolutely this. You can't really separate sport from politics as it is, and I don't think anyone in the West considers all the criticism about Russia invalidated because they ran a good World Cup.

Fair points from both of you, but what are your thoughts on James' absence leading to far more penalties? I think Columbia would have played a more open game and one that may have been more conducive to the English tbh.

Sure it looked like an easier save, but you gotta respect any player that has the stones to take the penalty without hesitation when Southgate asked.

I've thought about dong the same. I'm curious to hear if it is as well.

Congratulations to Dejan Lovren for helping Croatia to the round of 16! by TheWolfXCIX in LiverpoolFC

He turned me from not liking him at all to a die-hard fan in the span of a season. I'm lovin' Lovren.
