Argentina wins the 2022 FIFA World Cup!

I have been a life long Cristiano Ronaldo fan. I still am, in fact. When the argument has arisen, I have always sided with CR7. Today, I feel that this has changed. with him winning the World Cup, I now safely say that Lionel Messi is the single greatest player ever to kick a football.

@Jb33124
You mean soccer ball.

(genuine question in the form of a joke)

Why tf do Americans call their sport “Football”? it’s rarely kicked and you pick the egg-shaped object up and throw it. it really should be called HandEgg

@Jb33124
We are not the only ones to call it Soccer. Those crazy Canadians also call it soccer. But yeah the Gridiron Football is much more different than Soccer. But yeah you can blame Britain or England.

@igotnopicks
Am English. we came up with the term Spccer, as the Americans already had their ‘football’. but yeah, seriously,why is their Gridiron Football named as such when you don’t use your feet? I do love the NFL, but it still confuses me

Bills win the AFC East for the third straight year!

49ers already won the west last week. So let’s just go over the Commanders and beat them this wee…. Oh that’s good.

RIP Pele.

One of the GOATs

Rest In Peace, Edson Arantes do Nascimento…

Rest In Peace, Pele

He had a good long life, at least.

In other news, This Week in Shortsball: Bengals vs. Patriots (Week 16, 2022)
The timeline of the patriots imploding is not the one I expected to see so soon. The hoodie is not doing very good.

Thanks to the Packers we got the number 2 spot.
Thanks to the Raiders we claimed the number 2 spot(God I hate Davonte Adams.)

@igotnopicks
You managed to pull the win out of your ass at the end too.

@Mikey
Thanks to Jared Stridm throwing that ending int.

@igotnopicks
Inb4 the Super Bowl is Bills and 49ers.

@Mikey
That’s what I’m hoping for.

Brock Purdy vs. Josh Allen.

@igotnopicks
That would be an interesting game.
I also kind of hope for BIlls and Eagles, so then we would have faced every team in the NFC East in the SB.

Honestly I’d like to see an Philly-Pittsburgh game because that would have extremely chaotic energy

@AaronMk
Well, that’s not happening this year…

@AaronMk
Yeah Pittsburgh sucks.

@igotnopicks
Steelers gahnta super bowl!
Seriously though, I don’t see them not sucking for a long time.

Yeah, I know. It would have to be a thing for the future.

@Mikey
Stillers gunna to tank bowl.

@igotnopicks
Mike Tomlin probably gonna get a losing season.

@Mikey
his first.
