Great start to camp for the US

As Ive mentioned plenty of times, I'm a huge Liverpool fan.  My son is 3.5, still too young to properly get into the matches, but he'll come and yell "Goooo RED goooo RED" for a few minutes at a time when I'm watching. 

We're going to Nashville next month to see them play on their US friendly tour, so when browsing stuff online, my wife thought it would be cute to get him an LFC songbook.  Its one of those books where you flip the pages and each page has a corresponding button on the side panel that plays a song (this one is a welcome change from that type of book which is normally nursery rhymes or animal sounds  ).  Its got all the classics...YNWA, Oh Campeone, When the Reds come Marching, etc...  sung in a Scouse accent for good measure.  He loves it.

But the best part?  He flips through all 7-8, nodding his head along with them.  Then turns to my wife and very matter of factly asks "Where are the ones with the bad words?"  Clearly he has not forgotten the multiple times I've laughed at or called out a chant, hes asked what it is/why I'm laughing, and was told that it didn't have nice words

Ladies got the CONMEBOL special last night.  I especially liked the part where the police in riot gear got to come out to protect the refs.

ALL OVER A FRIENDLY!  Thats the best part for me.

Will be in London Sept 3-7, with my bride, and would love to see an EPL game. The 26-27 schedule was recently released and Arsenal, Brentford and Fulham all have home games on Sept 5th. Any suggestions for getting tickets?

Sounds like Poch 2.0 is getting close.

European nations have agreed to boycott the World Cup over FIFA's plans to sell stakes in the tournament to private investors.

Never mind. After the pressure ratcheted up, Infantino canceled his plan on TACO Friday.

Something tells me he'll be voted out in March regardless. I think this scam attempt used up the last goodwill he may have had.
