I Found Out Quick That Real Madrid Fans Are as Cocky as Eagles Fans

Real Madrid fans TOOK OVER Philadelphia last Thursday before their match with RB Salzburg. They were cocky, arrogant, and came from all over the country to make their presence known, chanting every couple of seconds to announce their presence. They built shrines to their favorite players and there were white jerseys as far as the eye could see. They reminded me of Eagles fans, but the only difference was footballs were replaced with soccer balls:
What a scene down. The Madridistas do not play around. They’re so cocky. They have 15 Champions Leagues titles and have this insatiable desire for more. Imagine if we had 15 Super Bowls. We’d be ungovernable. It was a good warm-up to what we should be expecting for next year, except multiply that by 10. You think Wydad AC shutting down the Linc is going to be an isolated incident? Absolutely not. The security has no answer for the flares. People are bringing them in sandwiches for god’s sake! Imagine what it’s going to be like when the entire country of Morocco is stuffed in there. They might show up to the gates with a trojan horse. Everything is on the table!
The passion of soccer fans is amazing to experience. I can’t wait for the World Cup next year. We’ve got guys building 10 foot tall shrines and driving all over the country to spread the good word of Cristiano Ronaldo. Why? Because he can. He’s just a WIP caller when you think about it – just with imagination and people trust him with power tools:
Btw, I feel like I uncovered National Treasure and not enough people are talking about it. Did we know there was a helipad in the middle of Jetro? I didn’t:
People are trying to tell me it’s been there for years. I’ve been in those lots a fair amount and I can promise you I would’ve noticed a giant yellow H in the middle of Jetro. They’re saying it’s for Michael Rubin or an emergency helicopter in case we have a Damar Hamlin situation on our hands. All I know is what my eyes saw and my eyes saw fresh paint. Can’t believe what everyone says on the Internet.
I also found out I never have the makings of a varsity athlete:
Just kidding. You’re looking at an All-Catholic Honorable Mention. You can’t take that from me. Sorry I choose to play sports with my hands instead of my feet like a real man.
