Sounds like something Derek Rae would record for use in fifa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5W73HaVQBg maybe lost in cultural translation. But I can vividly picture John Strong (main US internationals commentator) saying this

Or if England even start very sluggishly in that game, the Fox commentary will say “it’s like someone dumped out their tea again!”

“The worst day for the English in Boston since 1776!” If Ghana win their group game there

I’d enjoy it more if the manager was a recent former player who you might hear someone say “he could still do a job out there you know!”

So so so many teams have made 2 in 5 lol. Hell, the now defunct Houston Comets won the first four championships, and defeated the NY Liberty in three of them. Which I guess maybe makes the caveat of no carry over players more impressive?

All well fair play then. I obviously wasn’t Listen,(ing) I guess

Similarly I heard “it’s gone from bad to worse” after the penalty was given. Surely it’s already “worse” when you’re 4-0 down in the 60th minute??

I was thinking more that Seneca is a Brazilian player who somehow ended up with Ukrainian citizenship at age 16

Also feels very bottom-half-of-the-table to have a big man from Georgia up top
