The joys of living in Brazil. After Everton stayed up, the screen on the elevator in my building showed the Richarlison leaping into the stands bit a couple times the following day, noting Everton staying in the Prem. I am sure I'll see Vini's goal every 3rd floor each time I leave or return...

Thanks, mate. Hope you are doing as well as I am. Hopefully better. That night in 2018, damned near the worst football night of my life. As a man of (then) 3 flags, all the US, Paraguay and Colombia were all battling for spots. US lost a game they shouldn't have abroad, Paraguay lost at home to...

let me see if i have this right... a manager builds a gameplan involving using certain players to their strengths and they produce? inconceivable!

That was so Koeman. Moved in 2017 to Bogota, was there for Mina signing. 2020 had a World Trip planned that Covid killed dead and were lucky enough to land a position in the Land of Richarlison. Will be here at least one more year. Love it. As a gringo tourist down here, Brazilians were my fave...

Frank? Everton has lost numerous times despite having a 2-0 lead since I started following in 2013 when Martinez was at the helm . Hell, watched my favorite club in South America last December up 2 in stoppage time implode, concede two and the title after 90+8. Everton were 0-69-5 when facing...

Gringo in Brasil feeling likewise. Obviously the team did the job, but we all know without the nutters screaming "Spirit of the Blues" for the last month on end, we'd have been dead and buried weeks ago. Take a freaking bow. Prior to this Covid thing, had hoped to visit Goodison before my...

f'in hell got into a spat on twatter with some red fan. He was roasting Frank while trying to talk up Stevie G. Tough explaining to the lout how 6 of 16 > 13 of 37. Math is hard, folks, really hard.

Can't get this embed thing right, too buzzing to try. Richy going into the stands to celebrate.

Sound strategy, really, given how often I've seen us and other South American clubs I support blow a 2-0 lead.

Jajaja. Beer delivery arrived. Realized upon returning with my celebratory cervejas (from Joy Project, whose owner/lead brewer is named Everton, no joke) ... to find the singing fans on loop, loud enough the entire 19th floor could hear. As one more side note, the liter choppe is called "A...

Even Oviedo Baby is celebrating tonight... Bryan Oviedo @Bryan_Oviedo · 5m ONCE A BLUE, ALWAYS A BLUE! @Everton

Seen it so many times from the other end, having a hard time wrapping my head around us flipping the 0-2 script. Unreal night. Hangovers and headaches for all tomorrow, but nothing but joy tonight.

Been absent from the forum most this dumpsterfire of a season, following from Brazil on twitter was painful enough. Tonight was unreal just following on twitter and fotmob. Can't imagine watching it live or on the tube. Depths of despair to hope to joy. Next to my wife on our wedding night...

Started this on my b-day. USMNT vs El Tri in Cup Finals this summer? #DosACero.

Jesus Cork still at it. Total Kopite. 2011, amigo. The B's have one in my adult life. Can't say as much for the habs. But you can type one handed while practicing your stickhandling with the other in public fountains while watching ye olde tyme vids? Absolute embarrassment, mate. Hell...
