It doesn't fucking matter, Steve.

 

It's getting incredibly tiring seeing you stick your ore in other peoples pools and micromanaging threads from the sidelines. Get a job.

Team submitted. This is it.

Another year, another semis finish....

 

Good luck @gcreptile

Thank you, good game. Your 16 points were extremely good, honestly.

 

Good luck, @alt obits guy

 

Final cup game for me, so I hope to end on a high note.

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

Ah boy,here we go. So Zadra definitely died yesterday. We got a confirmed date on Fuentes going?

The club published the news at 2am (Uruguay hour), so 5am in UK

[gcreptile 10,975]

Good morning, meh, not a good start

[YoungWillz 21,050]

You cannot score goals in the warm up.

Telenoche says, via Google Translate:

 

Quote

The president of the National Football Club, José Fuentes, passed away this Saturday, July 1, at the age of 70.

 

So maybe a VAR check will give this one?

[gcreptile 10,975]

We need a fourth official ;).

Or we can wait a day or two?

James Whale would be 2nd sub.

[Captain Hemlock 742]

It’s Germany vs Canada for the Cup.

[alt obits guy 3,371]

This is going to be fun. Oh, and for the record, I pulled a Ryuichi Sakamoto, my parlance for a misspelling throughout my research that also made it into my official entry. My joker's surname is actually "Ridsdale", instead of "Risdale". However, from my submitted description (Australian pedophile priest), there is no doubt who he is.  (P.S. All the teams for which I submitted Sakamoto's name, I'd spelled his given name as "Ryuchi', instead of 'Ryuichi'.)

I'm gonna hold a day or two until we have additional info... if none comes forward I'll have to make a decision. Which nobody wants me to do.

[gcreptile 10,975]

So every source that had a date gives Saturday, 1st, e.g.:

https://www.subrayado.com.uy/fallecio-el-presidente-del-club-nacional-futbol-jose-fuentes-n919522

https://es-us.deportes.yahoo.com/nacional-luto-murió-presidente-josé-143157481.html

 

I think there's no room for ambiguity anymore.

Here's also an english language obit:

https://todaytimeslive.com/sports/337743.html

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

Jose Fuentes was a politician who became chairman of Uruguay's Nacional football club in 2021. In just over a period of 18 months he personally convinced Luis Suarez to return to his childhood club after 16 years, led the club to the Primera Division title, fired two managers, developed a bacterium in his heart that required five weeks of hospitalisation, and died. Todd Boehly could never. gceptile strikes first blood.

My joker has died:

Obit still needs to come, it's fresh information.

 

Edit: Agreed, Spade. She seems big in these circles. Maybe even a DDP qualifying obit.

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

Don't think there's any doubt an obit will be forthcoming, may even make it to NYT levels.

[gcreptile 10,975]

The obits are coming:

Edit: Ah yes, DDP qualifying, though I still suspect the Guardian or even the morningstar: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/minnie-bruce-pratt-lesbian-poet-001218348.html

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

Yep, that'll do. Minnie Bruce Pratt was a poet and activist, part of the wave of educators in the 1970s who made intersectionality a key component of LGBTQ studies. She was also the widow of the perhaps more famous Leslie Feinberg. gcreptile gets to she/them points grow to a lead of 12.
