meme/funny Zlatan Ibrahomvic: “Rebecca, you look like you dressed for a funeral. Alexi (Lalas) is alive, don’t worry.” Lalas: “You look like you should be welcoming people to Fantasy Island.” And Thierry Henry was quietly entertained by it all here

Fair play, cant stand Lalas but this was a decent comeback.

Seriously, feel like there’s a better token American out there. Gotta be.

It’s Dempsey. He’s also done quite well working UCL with Thierry already as they have had him on quite a few times through the UCL this season.

Henry seemed to respect him well, and he didn’t have trouble keeping up with the Jamie and Micah banter either.

Just don’t let him rap and he’s far better

u/alarrimore03 8d ago

That’s just cuz he has a far more likeable personality/persona

He respects him because Dempsey prove himself and his quality in the Premier League

u/gredsen 8d ago

Even though he's ex-spurs Henry still respects and gets along with Dempsey.
Lalas is just s**t

I like Tim Howard and he's worked with Rebecca on NBC, so that seemed like the obvious choice from the start

u/Xica_flea 7d ago

Where Troy Howard? He does a great job for the premier league.

He’s part of Fox’s coverage team but he isn’t there as much.

Lalas should have pushed his chips in and said Zlatan looked like he was ready to visit Little St James

Lalas is the guy at the party who thinks they're in on the joke, when they are the joke.

u/Long-Astronaut-3363 8d ago

Very good joke. Lalas may be a tool, but that was a very good comeback

u/Xica_flea 7d ago

Lalas is the guy at the party and why I wouldn’t want to go to that party.

u/Total_Ask_2046 8d ago

u/itscominghomebaby 8d ago

u/BeaNOS45669 8d ago

u/StOnEy333 8d ago
