not surprised a liverpool dickhead defaced it, equally not surprised that a number of liverpool fans showed interest in righting it themselves.

Except we don't know who actually cleaned it! But if it was a red, glad they did so with no fanfare

um, dude, the guy's handle is literally in the tweet.

david prentice of the liverpool echo actually reached out to give them fanfare, not the other way around. by numerous accounts, several more showed up just after it was already cleaned.

I hope there's a special place in hell for people who deface historical monuments.

likely was twisted retribution for everton fans defacing a public mural of jurgen klopp. i do agree with you to an extent though. nice to see other fans taking responsibility for the actions of a very stupid one or two reds.

chris farley didn't even clean it though. it says there he showed up and it was cleaned (glad he didn't take credit)

i remember reading about this yesterday and the big criticism is now people are giving all these "wow such good people" stuff, when ultimately its a net zero, since some jerk did it in the first place

take what i'm saying w a grain of salt, i'm all over a toffee fanboard so i'm fired up lol

yeah, fair play, i was inaccurate.

with all this being said though, of course it was going to get cleaned immediately. not condoning the behavior of a few headass reds, but this is hardly the travesty it seems because like you said, it's a net zero in a city *FULL* of still-sometimes-unruly football fans, whether they be red or blue.

liverpool and everton have a very unique relationship, it's a special one in that it isn't sheer hatred all the time unlike what you find in manchester and london. hell, chris pajak's (of the redmen tv) brother is an evertonian. (and it's the reason why liverpool is the world's greatest football city and it's not remotely f***ing close. keep your milans and madrids.)

hey man, according to klopp, the parade alone shows theres no space for blues fans

yeah it's interesting indeed. one of my goals in life is to get out there to watch a match. i wish i could be at goodison but i might have to wait till they move to bramley moore. and hopefully when they're top 6 competitive......

well, considering the red mist wafted from the top of the royal liver building (owned by farhad moshiri) at one point during the parade...

f***ing SCENES

it's a very special city. of course it's quite cosmopolitan in the city centre but it still has the essence of a proper british port town.

when i visited for the first time, i felt validated in that i'm supporting an institution that belongs to *these* people. london and even manchester are basically new york city in terms of losing its historic identity nowadays. that is *not* the case on merseyside.

small (ish, about 500,000) city that carries itself as the center of the universe without losing their identity.

one for the road

C A M P I O N E

and to put this into perspective: this is a big part of why i support this football club...

name me another institution in the world in which people in a bar in hoboken pop bottles for the exact same reason a stadium in f***ing indonesia looks like *this* (if it says "insensitive" trust me it's ok )



no flags, no borders, no religions.

just liverpool football club.

Starting to get suspicious that whoever's doing this isn't really a Liverpool supporter and more a dickhead trying to stir hate.

99.999% of Liverpool fans have the brain cells to understand that structure is part of the city's heritage.

750,000 people at a parade, takes one to tag a few sixes.

 

[unknownbrother]

i now hate tott, total bottle job as they say in the UK

There's a term we use over here if a team bottles it (chokes). Doing a Tottenham or doing a Spurs.

When Leicester won the league in 2016 Tottenham somehow managed to come 3rd in a two horse race.

i agree with you - there's a LOT of international red fans who probably visited. i can totally imagine that 100% of these locals know what the lockup means in city history. or yeah, who knows, it could just be some random asshat

The first time it could have been drunken revelers from elsewhere on greater Merseyside.

The second time I do think it was a local shithead.

So now that the club season is over, it's time for international tournaments, which means Gold Cup time. And good f***ing gravy did Berhalter pick a terrible roster for it. It's abundantly clear that the entire reason he was hired over the likes of Martino and Lopetegui (who made no secret that they wanted this job is because he'd make sure the business model of "pick middling MLS players for international tournaments so that the federation can promote it" wouldn't change. To wit: Zardes and Altidore over Sargent, no CCV, no Kenny Saief (a guy who changed his FIFA nationality from Israel to the US because he really wanted to play for us). No Tim Weah but he's at the U-20s so that doesn't really count.

Berhalter is the worst aspects of our last two coaches rolled into one. He has the awful tactics and affinity for playing guys out-of-position (Tyler Adams is not a f***ing right back) of Klinsmann and the MLS favoritism of Arena. I'm convinced the only way things will ever change for our greedy, money-first federation is if enough people on top drop dead. For crying out loud, the Red Bull corporation values development of American talent more than our own federation. That's just sad.

If the USMNT crashes out of the tournament before the final, I'm cheering for Mexico from here on out.

3-0 loss to Venezuela.

3-0 loss to VENEZUELA.

3-0 loss to f***ING VENEZUELA.

I’m jumping ship to Mexico. Viva El Tri. Death to the gringos.

 

[sabremike]

best part about this is neutrals talking about how boring the final was.

this seems familiar.

The irony is that the most legendary final of all time (1999 United-Bayern) was actually incredibly boring until the very end. The end was so spectacular nobody remembers that.

 

[RangerDoggo]

I want ESPN to bring back 30 For 30. I'd be so down with watching a documentary about the 1991 Red Star Belgrade European champion team, won right as Yugoslavia was going to hell.

A LOT going on here, aside from the fact that you're jumping ship to Mexico who will also never win a World Cup in our lifetimes.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I didn't watch the Jamaica or the Venezuela games. Hopefully lots of regular starters were left out?

At least they had the good sense to hire Tata Martino when our federation told him to f*** off since he would have posed a threat to the Fed's business model.

Nah, seemed like the regular group of idiots. Once again, Tyler Adams played right back against Venezuela because he's being punished for playing in the Bundesliga, while godawful Wil Trapp gets rewarded for staying in MLS.

This is Berhalter's vaunted system he "obsesses" over. It's giving every MLS scrub a chance while guys like CCV and Sargent get none. It's exactly what the federation wants.
