This morning I got up to rain and wind here in Seattle. I should've known it was a presage of things to come. I went to the grocery store and had tea and wrote some letters. Basically, I was trying to kill time until 11:45am Pacific time, when Champions League started.
And then it started. I'd downloaded Sling TV to be able to watch ESPN 3 and Borussia Dortmund vs. Apoel Nicosia, one of the top Cypriot clubs. The good thing about watching this game was I got to learn the word "Cypriot." The bad thing is it was an absolute abortion.
A few times during the first half I actually said, in a loud voice in my living room, "This is an abortion."
Other things I said:
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" -- when Götze, Bartra, Yarmolenko, Toprak, Auba, Pulisic and Kagawa gave away the ball time after time after time.
"YOU ARE FUCKING OLD AND SLOW." -- when Yarmolenko could've easily gotten to a ball but was too, well, old and slow
"GET OFF THE GROUND OR GET OFF THE FUCKING FIELD." -- when the Apoel players went to the ground one of myriad times throughout the game and rolled around in "agony."
"THIS IS WHAT AN ABORTION LOOKS LIKE." -- when I could take the giveaways and the back passes to Bürki who would then give it away no longer
Now granted, the second half was a little better. Pulisic, for one, played better in the second half, creating more chances. But is it just me or has he looked more tentative lately??????? Is Bosz messing with his game??????? What is going on? Where was the Pulisic who only appeared in the final seconds of this game when he got a ball in his own final third, sprinted the ENTIRE length of the field, and then placed the ball perfectly at Aubameyang's head who couldn't quite finish (and then Bartra COMPLETELY fucked it up).
Argh.
Please, Peter Bosz, the next game that ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING, i.e. Bayern Munich, START PULISIC. If you don't you might just crush the confidence of your best player, since you seem to be trying to do that already.
Anyway. Anyway. I'll calm down. Pulisic's confidence cannot be crushed. That's precisely what makes him so special.
So now I will watch Real Madrid vs. Tottenham, since I DVR'd it and still don't know who won, thought I suspect the liars over at Real Madrid since I saw a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo on my YouTube and instantly turned it off to avoid spoilers.
Bosz, figure this shit out. Play Pulisic in the middle.
That is all I have to say.
