But for me.... I'm definitely eating more as I get older lol. And a desk job only makes it easier.

Back in my mid/early 20s, I'd be able to sleep like 10 hours a day. Sleeping means more testosterone. And it also means I ain't eating during that time lol

I get around 6-7 now. A little more on weekends. More time in the day = more time to snack

I can legit eat 4 meals a day now. And sometimes 5. Luckily, I'm still at 200 pounds (I'm 31 now). I used to be 175 in my mid 20 prime. And I used to only east 2-3 meals a day.


In the early 30's you're still in your prime, lol. When I was that age I worked 8 hours a day, slept 6/7, and then trained for 2 and a half hours, 6 days a week (1 and a half lifting weights, then cardio).

Wait until you reach your late 30's/early 40's... huge difference.

Ima take TRT once I really start feeling father time lol

Id be happy to watch France lose, but anyone who watched both teams play knew how this would play out.

Why did Bono stop and freeze there? Should have attacked the ball as Hernandez waited for it to drop.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

This is what I was afraid of. Good teams always do this.

Obviously, Morocco will have to play a totally different game then they are used to.

Good team, but the end 80's/early 90's Milan team had that FANTASTIC Netherlands trio (Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard), with Baresi, the ageless Maldini, Costacurta, etc, etc, etc.

That team won A LOT between 1988 and 1990.

Check the team and what it won in this link.

BTW: definitely recommended site, worth a look.

Costly error by the Moroccan defender who should’ve dropped in between griezmann and the goal rather than try and intercept that pass

Def keep testing Loris. Imo, he's not a reliable keeper.

That was the best thing that could have possibly happened from an entertainment standpoint. Now Morocco has to play.
