Last Call: Who Will You Bring Home?

Melissa Satta - WAG of Christian Vieri

Welcome to tonight's Last Call. Where you can get a pint and maybe find yourself a bed as nice as the one above... but be careful with the beer goggles, you don’t want to wake up next to this.

Tonight, your host is Unprofessional Foul. Thank you for stopping by our little corner of the blogosphere. We understand that the Last Call folks are a new movement and this is their form of the green wristband protest. We wish you luck in your endeavor.

For those of you not familiar with us, a little background on what we do and who we is are.

UF was the mindspring of Lingering Bursitis way back in late 2007, who wanted to create a blog devoted to entirely to the soccer world and whatever happens to enter into the soccer world. Many of the UF contributors are or were Deadspin commenters, and Deadspin was the social mixer where many of us came together. We also have stretched out our social circle to people beyond the Deadspin milieu. Plus, we even accept social outcasts like Chelsea fans, and fans of the lowly Norwich City and Exeter clubs... we tolerate Manchester United fans at this point but don’t push us too much.

While we focus on soccer/football/futbol/footy (we use the terms interchangeably), we do not believe you have to be a hardcore footy fan to appreciate our “work” because, well, our work still includes hot chicks, stupid things athletes do, and crazy stuff related to football, including fashion.

Some of our favorite posts have dealt with wannabe WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends), female footballers becoming porn stars, and even the introduction of brand new WAGs. But, we also do great liveblogs (we are currently liveblogging the shit out of the Confederations Cup), explain football, rant, and even break some news here and there. We can promise you stuff you will not read about in the “mainstream” sports blogs and, frankly, lots of top notch writing and analysis.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your stay.

[TFA Note: Apparently there is this blog, The Phoenix Pub, I was not aware of. I have checked it out and it appears to be the Last Call secret headquarters or something. I was supposed to namecheck it. Now I have...check out The Phoenix Pub for all your DUAN-ey updates.]

Bottoms up!!

Thanks Sculptor.

Jacob said...

Will someone please let me know when the damn CWS is over? I'd appreciate it.

Hi. I participated in a handful of DUANs. I don't recognize you either.

Sculptor?!? said...

@jjf3: that gets a +1

Jacob said...

+1s, in my UF? About damn time.

jjf3 said...

Wish I'd nailed it with the "Yes" part included before Virginia...but I have a bad habit of alcohol-induced premature "commenting"

Also why I never made an attempt at DS commenter, despite lurking for years...

Sculptor?!? said...

@umlaut: was I not supposed to?

Jacob said...

@Sculptor-No, you're good. Kind of mocking myself for giving a +1 in a UF email thread last week.

Teeknuts said...

Fuuuuuckkkkkkkk

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

GODDAMMIT.

I might as well go to bed and catch the highlights on Soccernet tomorrow morning at this rate.

jjf3 said...

and a big thanks to you, Sculptor??!

my first +1s from a DS'er....

Jacob said...

What kills me is that VA had this wrapped up in the ninth. What the hell happened?

Sculptor?!? said...

@jjf3: nope, not a DS'er, not anymore. Last Caller, perhaps. But you're welcome at any rate; you earned it.

jjf3 said...

I was never a commenter (just a lurker, but I did pay 289 for a stupid red t-shirt), but I left the same time you did.

So, while you're no longer a DS'er technically, to me you are...(I'm not REALLY part of the roving DUAN crowd, though I show up when ATD and UF are involved...)

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

(I'm not REALLY part of the roving DUAN crowd, though I show up when ATD and UF are involved...)

One of us! One of us!

Well, at least when it comes to ATD, although I'll peek in on the regular rotation now and again...

Sculptor?!? said...

well, jjf3, then you should be checking out Phoenix; the ATD boys are part of the crew. Obvs. TPP doesn't focus completely on footy, but they're around. and the roving is now a set schedule, so that's nice too.

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

Good news: If you're a Comcast HSI customer, ESPN360.com comes with the service.

Bad news: It's not until August 1, so I can't watch the MLS game.

And it's COMCAST. So while ESPN claims it will be free, it will magically raise my "service fees" by 20%. Yaaay.

Sculptor?!? said...

Heh, yeah, those ATD boys have a way of getting to ya. They're handling my conversion back to footy very nicely.

Oh, FUCK you VA for getting that double.

Jacob said...

I see Arkansas went ahead. I assume DC-Seattle is int he 2nd half now?

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

@ΓΌ75: I think it's still halftime. At least according to the dodgy GameCast on ESPNSoccernet.

jjf3 said...

Wish I'd gotten that damn joke right...

that said, I've been checking out the Phoenix/Last Call from day one. Just wish I'd get the damn joke right the first time...especially after watching you artists make me look stupid...

Jacob said...

Thank goodness for internet streams. 2-1 Seattle in the 50th.

Jacob said...

Way to blow it Arkansas C and 1B. VA are so scoring here.

Teeknuts said...

Come on Kutchel, take us home...

Sculptor?!? said...

To anyone who cares: thefuseproject is my HERO.
that is all.

Jacob said...

Goal Seattle. 3-1. Shite defending. Worse dropping off than on Rossi on Monday.

Teeknuts said...

Thank you jesus...now its time to enjoy the LAST HALF AN HOUR of the MLS game.

Jacob said...

Way to blow 3 open guys in the box, DC.

Wait. That sounds perverted.

Teeknuts said...

@umlaut That doesn't seem physically possible...

Teeknuts said...

At least it the last half hour of a pretty entertaining game it seems.

Jacob said...

From what I've seen, United will have opportunities to draw even in this match. Just hope the finishing is there.

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

Where the hell was the man in front of Gomez?!

3-2 Sounders, nice show of offense, but damn.

Jacob said...

On cue, 3-2.

Jacob said...

Some pretty nice goals in this match, which is swell.

Teeknuts said...

Is it wrong that whenever I hear Pontius' name I think of partyboy? I know it isn't that funny, but it makes me laugh every damn time.

Jacob said...

I do the same, Teek.

Glad I can watch this game in its entirety at 1 AM, ESPN.

Sculptor?!? said...

heh, sooo quiet, we're all contentedly watching footy.

Jacob said...

Or, people did not figure how to go to the second page.

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

I really should be in bed (got work at 6am)...

...but another 15 minutes watching this game can't hurt.

/will hurt tomorrow for certain

Sculptor?!? said...

@GEF: yeah, that's what the caffeine IV drip is for...

Teeknuts said...

Come on Mr. Mohawk, do you really need to wear your jersey backwards to tell people who you are? Do you even need a jersey with Mr. Mohawk on the back?

Jacob said...

I still despise the way Seattle's shirts fade into the fieldturf on TV.

Teeknuts said...

Wait a minute, was the band just playing that dumb flow rida song?

Jacob said...

Nothing is impossible/Impossible is nothing.

Don't worry, announcer dude, Kevin Garnett fuxxored it up too.

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL

Jacob said...

I'm so smart about the soccer game.

Teeknuts said...

Ouch, it was that defender playing the role of Jamie Carragher tonight apparently.

Sculptor?!? said...

@Umlaut: huh, i thought it was just me having an artist's fit about the Sounders' kit.

Teeknuts said...

How was that advantage played mr. announcer?

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

How much extra time? Missed the flash...

Teeknuts said...

3 minutes I think

Jacob said...

Ballgame. G'Night, peoples.

Sculptor?!? said...

well, a draw.

Green Eggs and Fulham said...

Great ball there, not a great run. Methinks this game is over...and there it is.

Happy Thursday, everyone, see you on the flipside.

Teeknuts said...

Nighty night!

Sculptor?!? said...

k, i'm toast. it's been fun UF, thanks for hosting!

later, taters!

First Derivative said...

I might have a good picture for y'all tomorrow of my giant swollen hand.

Bigus Dickus said...
