Did not get to see it but we scored an own goal. So there was that.

Amongst the news for Chelsea over the last 2 days, the club has signed a deal with Nike to begin providing kits for the Blues beginning (iirc) in 2017-18.
The deal is worth £60M per season and is likely to be for 10 years. It doubles the previous deal that Chelsea had with Adidas (£30M per season) and makes the West Londoners deal the second highest in Europe (Manchester United £75M).
Along with the big deal they signed with Yokohama Tyres last year, Chelsea have greatly improved their income for FFP purposes and should have no trouble loosening the purse strings during the Summer window.
Also, this morning John Terry signed a new one-year contract to remain with the Blues next season, ending months of speculation that his career may not end at Stamford Bridge. Terry is expected to be a 4th option at CB next year (behind Zouma, Cahill and another player that will probably come through a Summer transfer) but wanted to remain with the club.
Captain, Leader, Legend.
KTBFFH!
I'm really enjoying all of the good football going on right now, with both the Copa America and Euro 2016 running simultaneously.
It was good to see the US get through the group stage tonight but Brazil will put them out in a few days, without the biggest effort in American history.
Edit: We'll hell. The US may just win Group A. Colombia currently trails Costa Rica 3-1 in the 61st minute, needing a point to win the group.
That doesn't mean the US will avoid Brazil. But it's a feather in their cap either way.

Well, USA wins Group A as Colombia loses to Costa Rica, 3-2. Hopefully, that helps the US avoid Brazil in the first round of knockouts.
US avoids Brazil because Brazil did not make it out of group stage. I watched the first half and Brazil just dominated the possession. Have no clue how Peru even got close enough to the net to score in the second half. Those poor Brazilian fans. First Germany and now Peru.
I'll just leave this here
The dude abides.
Iceland, appearing in their fist ever major tournament gets a 1-1 draw against Portugal.
Survive and advance! 2-1 USA win.
Next up: Semis vs.
ArgentinaSpoiler: show
Nice win for the US but they're going to be very shorthanded in the semis.
I'm tempted to spend the cash to go but I may regret it if they get BTFO.
I'm glad to see them get this far. It's been fun watching them.
Yep.
I think I'll ask my business partner if he wants to go but he's in Berlin right now and doesn't get back until tomorrow night. If he's in, I'll try to find tickets the day of the match because the resell prices may go down on match day. Last night the cheapest tickets were about $200.

Sunday is going to be a great doubleheader. Just going to glance over the NBA Final. Expect Argentina to cruise and rooting for Chile to beat Mexico.
Thought it was Sunday but it was today. Argentina destroys Venezuela as expected and Messi played, so that is what the US gets next. Still have Mexico and Chile in under an hour. Two of my neighbors are flying the Mexican flag in their yards, so go Chile!
Mexico is getting absolutely horsefucked.
