Likely to be involved in back-to-back friendlies in Portugal this weekend, I would think. Tomorrow: @ Braga Saturday: @ Maritimo
Starts: 💡 Le onze lillois 🆚 @SCBragaOficial : Maignan - Celik, Gabriel, Fonte (cap.), Reinildo - Weah, André, Maia, Araujo - Rémy, Ouattara. #SCBLOSC— LOSC (@losclive) July 19, 2019
Timo creates the goal, just before half. His high pressure on the Braga outlet pass forces a rushed clearance which he blocks and which falls to the Lille #9, who rounds the keeper and slots home.

What a time to be alive
2007-2012 was pretty good around here... 2014 - 2016 was a disaster.. 2017 - present it has picked up ... high water mark probably between the 2006 - 2010 world cups.
I'm thinking more like the early 90's. And there have been good times, but the availability of video and quantity of young quality are what has me excited now... Remember Brian West furrowing his lonely row?
Ha. I was born in the early 90's. I do not recall them. I can't imagine there were many YA and even less YA coverage at that time. Norway use to be a spot in the 2000s. Nat Borchers at Odd Greenland.. the list goes on..
I remember when the only good beers in this country were Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, and Anchor Steam... What a time to be alive (if you can block out some things)...
I remember when we first let honey to ferment, drank mugfuls of the slop and proceeded to ransack the coasts of Europe... and had to use decapitated monk's head for a kick-around - those were days!
Ah, the French Riviera, as they used to call it in those old B&W movies. Or the Côte d'Azur, as the French still call it. Too hot now. 37°-44°C (98-112F) is not my idea of comfort.
