@marikakatanuma I had Wednesdays off the quarter my freshman year of college. It was amazing — got so much accomplished that day, felt refreshed when I returned to class on Thursday. I loved it more than have Fridays free.

Whelp, the USMNT is falling apart now against Germany. Not good.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

@EvaMcL3 I have the same thing going with the Steelers. I’d wish you luck, but I’m not the Pats’ biggest fan.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

And now onto the Steelers. At least this Sunday isn’t going to be the most depressing day in a long time thanks to the Arsenal.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Wow. Big, big win for the Arsenal, one I didn’t expect to get. Martinelli was huge even before the deflected goal, and defense was immense.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

I know the entire Arsenal team is cooking, but the front three with a goal apiece within the first 38 minutes, they’re on fire.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Couldn’t have asked for a better start to Arsenal’s return to the Champions League. Now, just hope the team can keep it up and not let PSV back in it.

Things I wish I could unsee for 500, Alex.

Morning! This week marks the 30th anniversary of Bayern Munich fans doing *this* before their Bundesliga game against Wattenscheid. Very moving 🥹

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

@TheM_L_G Thankfully I got a couple of used AC units. They’ve saved me more than once this summer in Germany.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Wish it wouldn’t have taken so long for those last two goals, but this is more like the Arsenal of last season. Here’s to hoping we see more of this going forward.

The more I’ve been exposed to Leeds supporters, the more I’m starting to hate the club. I know all fan bases have bad apples, but sheesh, too much of the crop seems rotten.

Brenden Aaronson is a superbly skilled footballer and a young man who doesn't deserve any of the shit being thrown at him here. Keep it to your own sites, please.

Back at it

Which @wpiootbgw goal out of Germany this weekend has been more comical: Leipzig’s first against Stuttgart or Hertha’s first goal of the season vs. Greuther Fürth? (Sounding the alarm in case the admin hasn’t seen the latter yet.)

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

*Me after Leverkusen goes up 3-1*: Well, let’s see what’s going on in the other Bundesliga matches.
*Sees the Augsburg-Gladbach score and immediately switches over*: So, what did I miss?

[Aaron West @oeste]

nothing says "arsenal is back" like 10 mins of clenching cheeks to close out a match lmfao

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Yup.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Man, I hate penalties.

[Mathew Wagner @Mathew_Wagner]

Man, I hate penalties.

Time to declare South Korea as Germany’s bogey team?

Wow, Germany’s out. This World Cup is wild.
