oh...damn...Soccer..I had to google a few times to even figure out what this was about.
Hard pass..Oak doesn't do soccer...very very very seldom does he do hockey.
lol when you made the thread I thought you were referring to the NBA and you were a San Antonio Spurs fan..

Yeah, it's a common mistake - especially since I'm from Texas.
My teams are Auburn, Astros, Rockets, Oilers (although they haven't played a game for quite a while - don't know what the problem with the NFL is!!), & Tottenham Hotsupur.
I grew up loving the NFL more than any other sport, closely followed by MLB - but the Oilers move killed that love affair.
Now it's a three way tie between college football, MLB & the Premier League - if Tottenham is on I'm usually watching, but it's as bad as watching the old Oilers, Spurs like to fail in dramatic ways too!!

It's kind of weird to watch though - there is absolutely no one in the stands but NBCSN is piping in crowd noise on the broadcast.

ahhh..so you're a homer for your state. Good for you. I'm in North Carolina...my teams are Tarheels, Braves, Lakers..I don't really have a fav. NFL team..but I might lean towards Cowboys?
I just have never spent more than 5 minutes on soccer. Hockey..I'll maybe watch 30 minutes of a finals game.
Rockets huh...now as a Rockets Fan....love..hate..or just simply respect Harden's "gameplay"
and no offense..I think you said you were older..so you may be oldschool..curious thoughts on Harden

Yeah, I guess I'm old school a bit.
I grew up as a wee lad in a suburb of Houston, during the "Luv Ya Blue" era of the Oilers (Dan Pastorini, Earl Campbell, Elvin Bethea, Billy "Whiteshoes" Johnson, Kenny Burroughs, Mike Renfro) before moving to small Texas town where I finished high school. Straight into the Army out of high school, and eventually on to Auburn - but that's a REALLY long story.
Anyhow, my Oilers fandom incubated for the first time a fiery hate of a particular team: the Pittsburgh Steelers. That list has grown to include the Broncos, Bills, Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees (well, really, any New York team), the Lakers (well, really, any LA team), the Red Sox & the Morons (well, really, any Boston team), and, of course, my favorite team to hate: the Oklahoma Sooners. I've since added Bama, Arsenal, Chelsea & Manchester United, among others.
I've tried to watch hockey, but I just can't get into it - but soccer I've learned to really love. I've watched nil-nil games that were more exciting to watch than an NBA playoff game.
As for Harden: meh.
He's obviously an All-Star in the current era, but the height of my basketball fandom was watching Jordan do his Superman act and Olajuwon with his "Dream Shake". Harden would be Robert Horry is he was on the 90's Rockets.
I root for him because he is a Rocket. If he was still on the Thunder I'd probably bitch about him and intently dislike him. Were he a Laker, I'd rant about him & hate him with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
I understand why the Rockets are playing the way they are playing (it's realistically their only shot at a title), but it's not really fun to watch.

Hahahahaha - I just realized the board autocorrects to "Morons" every time you type a particular Boston team name.
That's some pretty hilarious shit!!
Well, done - whomever did that - very well done!!

That match against Man U just epitomized Spurs season - rising to the level of mediocrity.
Don't know what happened to the boys this year.
But, hey, at least VAR worked correctly for once.
COYS!!

Not even just the season. Really the past handful of years. Just a glass ceiling on this club, whether that's in respect to an entire season or in a game, that they just hit against and cannot break through.
But there's always next match and always next season. COYS!

Hey, a Spurs win!!
It was against West Ham, but beggars can't be choosers - and a London derby win is always ok.
Still don't see the boys catching Chelsea for a Champions League spot - but miracles do happen. Although Mourinho might not be the guy to do it - his "elite manager" status is taking a beating - I think Poch could have gotten as many points as Jose since the sacking.
Oh, well: COYS!!

If so who are you again lol Sorry - never saw this message. If there is still a spot open I will join you. lkh07@yahoo.com is my Yahoo account I usually roll with War Eagle as my fantasy name - my real name is Kelly - been playing fantasy baseball with Jamie for a few years (and won a couple of times) - and he invited me to take over one of the dead teams in your basketball league - probably because of my wit & charm - we’ll overlook the fact that a week after you invited me basketball died!! Anyhow, let he know if you still have a spot.

This "putting the Premier League behind a paywall to try to get me to subscribe to 'Peacock'" (the worst fucking streaming name in the history of time) is some utter bullshit!!
