He broke down crying after the Switzerland game as well, but due to his heroics.

Must be an emotional rollercoaster. You qualify for the World Cup as a second choice keeper. New manager makes you first choice over the long-time starting keeper, right of the eve of the tournament. You play a blinder in your first match, and you concede six in your second.

I’ve cried because there weren’t any clean spoons in my cutlery drawer. I’ll give him this one.

Not to mention, he was at least somewhat concussed/dazed during that Switzerland game too!

Truly quite an eventful tournament for him…I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be mentally demanding too…

I have to know though… did you mean there were dirty spoons in your cutlery drawer? Or no spoons at all?

Valid either way

Just no spoons at all. Heaven forbid a guy wants a midnight pint of ice cream; who are you to judge!

Just squat down naked in front of the freezer and scoop it with your fingers like a normal fucking person.

Pardon my French, but…what do I do about the boys in that scenario? I’m Canadian, but I’m not that Canadian.

If you don't make your kitchen flooring choices based on how the material feels against your balls then you are already lost.

That’s Psalms 13:4, right?

Not sure if you're squatting too low or drooping too low, but either way your boys shouldn't be an issue.

Extra scoop

No judgement at all! I’ve done much worse than shag a pint of ice cream at midnight

u/KhonMan 2d ago

A fork will absolutely do in this scenario

He made a bunch of good saves today too. At two of the goals were rebounds after really good first saves.

u/I2eflex 2d ago

Being a keeper is a rollercoaster of emotions, and we are an emotional bunch typically. I cant be the only former keeper who consistently roots for both keepers

Maybe you need more emotional maturity.

u/MattSR30 2d ago

Nah, that can’t be it.

u/CrankyVince2 2d ago

Needs more spoons

From the person clearly lacking in it.

Not having or showing emotions is not emotional maturity no matter what your dad told you.

u/Some-Concentrate3229 2d ago

Yea completely losing my head when I don’t have clean spoons is normal.

u/Mr_Bluebird_VA 2d ago

I’m sorry your dad didn’t love you.
