I’m ok with a draw at this stage. I hate it when we get into the finals and a draw at fulltime means a game goes to penalties. I hate it when it goes to penalties.

hoping against hope

Sadly, it was not to be. Sadface.

a sad day indeed

The Buggaroos are one of my favorite national teams, and I was quite sad about this turn of events.

Those were some fancy gentlemen, let me tell you what.

That was a great match. That first goal was sublime.

It’s really hard to do that gesture on your own when you’ve only got three fingers; hence the team effort.

I was rooting so hard for Croatia Buggacia, too.

I’m … pretty sure … that’s not how the group of death works?

Although I guess anything’s possible in the bugg world, including but not limited to cannibalism.

Mr Bugg has a good arm!

Mrs Bugg’s braid is pretty good, too.

Oh, Mrs Bugg, how can you hang six with your boots on? I’m sure that’s why Mr Bugg looks so horrified.

Things that never get old: Cleats, Mr Bugg as the goalkeeper, Mrs Bugg’s amazing bicycle kick.

I would have called it “rugbugg”

Also, I could have sworn I had a category for buggby or the All-Blacks or something, because the Buggs loves them some All-Blacks, let me tell you what.

Tell you what, I’ll just create a category for “cleats“, which covers all manner of sporty awesomeness.

They’re so intent! I bet Mrs Bugg goes down in that big pileup in the first kilometre.

footie

Not gonna lie, getting all the Premier League games live here in the US is pretty sweet. Looks like the Buggs are digging it, too!

Guys, she has mastered that kick. Any further work is just refining the move.

Well done, Mrs Bugg!

Man, I really feel for Mr Bugg, having to be on the receiving end of Mrs Bugg’s supersonic bicycle kicks. Maybe it’s best that he misses some of them.

Killer goalie mittens, though, Mr Bugg!
