Always wonder if Srini is still around anywhere.

We went to our neighborhood Argentinian restaurant and had dinner washed down with Basil Hayden Perfect Manhattans.

It’s like he’s not planning on coming to MLS until he’s 45.

That was beautiful man.

Argentina arrived yesterday afternoon. Messi arrived separately around 9pm last night. So how do we welcome them their first night? Tornado warning and sirens at 1:45 am, heavy rain, near constant lighting/thunder, hail, 82 MPH winds at their hotel. I doubt they slept well their first night. 😁

On a tangent … Luis Enrique still looks like he could give a solid 90 minutes on the pitch.

Not one field player in that squad strikes fear in any opposition, and now on top of that our GK development that used to be pretty envy-inspiring is completely barren.

I’m afraid this”golden generation” of US players is going to struggle to get out of their group.

I’ve got Netherlands training camp two miles from my house, Argentina about 12 miles, England about 15 and Algeria about 40. Gonna be a lot going on in and around KC for the next several weeks. Argentina arrive tomorrow.

MizzouFalcon and that Nebraska guy both built up a cottage industry of making sigs for people. I lost enough sig bets back in the day to know.

Went to SLAPs BBQ for dinner, then to the cigar lounge where I had a pour of Flor de Caña 18 while watching the first period of Montreal v Carolina. The rum and cigar were great, the hockey much less so.

Well since Montreal seems to be laying down for (or being eaten alive by) Carolina, I guess we are simply left with mindless questions like “when did Wayne Gretzky start looking like Tom Poston?”.

It’s seriously taken this long into the thread for banana popsicles to make an appearance?

It’s not a banana. I’m just happy to see everyone.

Old Fashioneds on the deck.
