I love that Hardman was looking around in the end zone, seemingly in disbelief that he had just caught a Super Bowl winning touchdown.

It's honestly a testament to Reid and Mahomes because I don't think anyone would have been betting on a play design to go to Hardman to win the Super Bowl. He would normally be like the 8th option I feel like! Just excellent play calling that whole drive 

Man, Mahomes is a huge dickhead, but he's just a phenomenal talent. He's been so clutch here.

There's something very cathartic about the Chiefs being called for defensive holding on a key play.

Mahomes really fucked up on that last play. Eyes only on Kelce when Rice was open on between the lines. Could have easily caught it and dove into the end zone.

If the 49ers don’t rack up some more points I can see Mahomes pulling some magic out of his ass in the 4th to win.

Or in the 3rd quarter 

It's hilarious watching Patrick Mahomes' entitled prima donna ass having an awful game.

Well that was shit.

All the girls in their mid20s to mid 40s loved it, and just about no one else.

That was so bad 🤣

This is some terrible audio mixing.  I’m not sure they could have found a more ridiculous looking microphone for him to wear.

The ridiculous amounts of lip syncing going on with this performance. This is so shit.

This is great in every way

I love me a good trick play in the Super Bowl!

As soon as I saw it, immediately thought he tore his ACL. That's awful.

Even worse, he may have ruptured his Achilles tendon.

Dre Greenlaw with possibly the most depressing SB injury of all time.

As soon as I saw it, immediately thought he tore his ACL. That's awful.

Travis Kelce almost tackling Andy Reid is the highlight of this game so far!

Incredibly kind of you @JasonM to label Daniel Jones as a stud talent! 🤣

Unsure how I feel about this. He's on big money now, is soon 30, and despite 11 sacks this year, he tailed off HARD in the run in.

Honestly don't understand how our goal stood there. Feel like Burnley was hard done by.

I had no idea Muriel had left Atalanta. Around 2019-2021 they were one of the most fun teams around, sad to see that never progressed. 

In fairness, the deal isn't official just yet, but it's all done othery. Around $1m transfer. Muriel has still been a regular with Atalanta this season, but all but 2 of his Serie A appearances have been as a super sub role. 2 goals in the league but 4 in 5 in Europa League. He's definitely been on the decline the past few years, but would imagine he'll still do pretty well in MLS, especially for an Orlando side that has some really good wingers and midfielders.

 Manchester City being evil shit bags? There's only one gif for this. To quote the great lawyer, Vincent LaGuardia Gambini:

Hi @Szumi 💀

Sadly, he's right. Club is a mess. After O'Brien last year, how can it possibly have happened again. Someone has to get the boot for this.

McGuire's appeal was denied. He'll now go back to Orlando, where he'll almost definitely be a backup since Orlando already signed his replacement, Luis Muriel on a DP deal. Blackburn plan to send someone to Orlando to try and agree a summer transfer, but I don't know why either club or player should ever give Blackburn the time of day after all this BS.

Ivory Coast are now in the Finals, despite sacking their manager after the group stage. Seb Haller goal saw them beat DC Congo 1-0. They'll face Nigeria in the finals.

Apparently the paperwork they never submitted was because instead of hitting submit, they just saved it! 🤣

The story of Duncan McGuire's transfer window is a wild one full of disappointment. Kid just turned 23 yesterday, only played 1 year professionally in MLS after getting drafted in the MLS SuperDraft last year in round one (the draft hardly ever produces any MLS starting players nowadays) after spending 4 years playing collegiate soccer. Kid is somehow an instant sensation and scores 13 goals in 29 league appearances, 15 in all competition. His salary is only around $75,000 a year.

Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday both made bids for him this window. Blackburn had a permanent transfer accepted for a really low figure, around £3m plus 2m in add ons I believe. Kid leaves preseason in Mexico on a long flight to NYC, then England, to make the move official. Blackburn call Orlando while he's mid flight in the air and cancel the transfer because they couldn't afford it, despite just making the huge Adam Wharton transfer.

Duncan finds out once he's in England, but stays there waiting a new deal to be made, most likely with Sheffield Wednesday now. Fans even go to the hotel he's at and get autographs and pictures with him! Transfer deadline day, Blackburn finally approve another deal with Orlando, this time a loan of £550k and a purchase option of £5.5m plus £2m in add ons. However, Blackburn screwed McGuire over AGAIN because they didn't submit all of the paperwork in time. EFL rejected the first appeal today, and EFL Board will hear the second appeal on Thursday.

I know we got some Blackburn fans here, but holy crap this club is a mess. Will be awful if McGuire misses out on the transfer in some ways, but at this point he might be better off moving somewhere better in the summer.

Part of me is pissed that the USA is on the west coast the whole damn group stage because it means I'm not seeing them in person, but can still see multiple games with road trips to Philly and New Jersey.

The MetLife Stadium is supposed to grow legitimate grass fields for the World Cup. They were the best place for a Final because Sofi Stadium wasn't approved for the final I believe, and JerryWorld has zero public transportation. Atlanta is the only other place I think would have been a good final location. With MetLife at least they can just have multiple trains from NYC going there.

Konate's is a second yellow. But no free kick and a second yellow for Gabriel is ridiculous

Classic bald manc ref decision that

I get that it's always going to be called a second yellow (especially with Havertz's simulation of the fake face injury) but the first one definitely wasn't. I just don't understand how Arsenal are allowed to get away with repeated hands to face and pulling and dragging back men. 

It was an embarrassing performance from Liverpool, absolutely deserve nothing from this game. Just a shame we didn't make Arsenal work for a single goal. Handed every single one to them!
