History Repeats Itself for Sweden Against the United States
Surely it had to have been talked about or mentioned on more than one occasion: winning three straight World Cup trophies.
The United States won the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and 2019 and it comes as no surprise that some of the football experts believed that United States could possibly do it again.
But after draws against Netherlands and Portugal to close out the group stage. The US women were not looking like contenders at all.
A showdown with Sweden in the second round took place on 6 August in Brisbane.
The Swedes were looking good with a perfect record after wins over South Africa, Italy and Argentina in the group phase.
Ironically, the United States had plenty of opportunities to score against Sweden.
But goalkeeper Zecira Musovic was player of the match and made many great saves to keep the score at 0-0 as the match would be decided by the dreaded penalty shootout.
There was plenty more drama to come as the shootout would move on to sudden death after the score was 3-3 after five rounds of kicks.
Finally, Sweden prevailed 5-4 with the final kick being reviewed by VAR to see if Lina Hurtig’s shot crossed the line after the initial save from Alyssa Naeher.
Next up for Sweden is a clash with Japan on 11 August in Auckland and online bookmaker Bet365 has the latest wagers.
Currently Japan is favored with 6/5 odds while Sweden has 23/10 odds, and the odds for a draw are also 23/10.
Sweden and the United States have a history, and it is impossible to not think about the clash between Sweden and USA at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil when the teams met in the quarterfinals.
The match ended 1-1 but it was Sweden that prevailed 4-3 on penalty kicks.
After the match, then US keeper Hope Solo said that the Swedish footballers were a bunch of cowards due to their ultra-defensive tactics.
Well, if there is anything to be said after this match. It has got to involve the fact the US women fought hard and were the better team.
Sophia Smith had the chance to put the US in the quarterfinals. But her kick sailed wide even though Musovic guessed wrong.
For this match, there is no need for finger point or bitter remarks. It was just one of those games where things didn’t work out for the United States.
As for the Swedes, they will have their work cut for them against Japan.
Prediction: Japan 2-1 Sweden

Dan Hooker returning to lightweight after getting trounced at UFC London
Dan Hooker returning to lightweight after getting trounced at UFC London
Longtime lightweight veteran Dan Hooker was stuck in a rut at 155 pounds and hoping a return to featherweight division could help put ‘The Hangman’ back in the UFC title hunt. Unfortunately, “Almighty” Arnold Allen ended this experiment with a technical knockout in the first round at UFC London in March.
So what’s next for the 32-year-old Aucklander?
“I had a few weeks off and then I stepped on a…

Vinc Pichel 1st round KO of Damien Brown!
MY GOD, MAN! Damien Brown comes out of the gate hot as hell throwing all kinds of smoke on Vinc Pichel and an obviously rusty was either one step behind or two steps too slow. Eventually he settled down and towards the second half of the round, you could see him landing more and finding his range. Pichel winds up pressed against the fence and Brown runs in with his chin out begging to get clocked. He did, in fact, get clocked and put out after a few extra really unneccessary shots on the ground. Not blaming Pichel on that one, just feel like the ref was slow on the draw.
Pichel has been in the UFC since 2012 and you sorta forget he was apart of the in hindsight loaded as hell TUF Live cast (Chiesa, Ragin' Al, Justin Lawrence, Myles Jury, Joe Proctor and Daron Cruickshank all came through there) and guys like John Tuck, James Krause, Drew Dober and Akhbar Arreola got knocked through the opening round. Pichel's a bit older than you'd like but I'll be keeping an eye on him.

Who does UFC Dan Hooker fight next?
Paul Felder and Dan Hooker fought to a hard 5 round decision with Dan Hooker coming out victorious at this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 168 in Auckland, New Zealand. This leaves a lot of questions to be asked on what possible fights can be made for Dan Hooker in the incredibly stacked UFC Lightweight division. Dan Hooker was sitting at number 7 in the UFC rankings prior to winning against Paul Felder who was at number 6. Dan Hooker called out Justin Gaethje in his post win octagon interview. Justin Gaethje is ranked number 4 in the UFC rankings and speculation is that he is sitting out for a possible fight with Conor Mcgregor. Dan Hooker in another interview post fight said that his only two options at this point are Justin Gaethje or Dustin Porier. Dustin Porier, ranked number 2 in the UFC rankings last fought on September 7, 2019 against Khabib Nurmagomedov in which he lost via rear naked choke in 2:06 of round number 3. Dustin Porier also has expressed interest on social media and in interviews that Conor Mcgregor should be his next opponent. That leaves Donald Cerrone, ranked number 5 in the UFC rankings and Kevin Lee, ranked number 8 as possible opponents. Donald Cerrone lost to Conor Mcgregor via TKO 00:40 round 1 at UFC 246 on January 18, 2020. Kevin Lee had an incredible finish against Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244 on November 2, 2019 winning via head kick KO 2:47 round 1. Kevin Lee won in spectacular fashion against an undefeated fighter in Gregor Gilespie, who prior to fighting Kevin Lee was running through everyone. Dan Hooker and Kevin Lee both come to fight every time they step into the octagon. This fight match up screams fight of the night. Let’s just hope the fan’s and matchmakers make it happen!

Ufc Fighter Albert Dasilva Headcanons
hello, people who still follow me despite the fact i never post cause i’m a mess. how y’all doin? my favorite ufc fighter won the other day so now ✨this is what we’re doing✨. also i originally sent this thought to @we-are-inevitable ‘s ask box so find that post here (hi jac ilysm mwah mwah mwah)
i also wrote a part 2 so find that here !!
also,,,,, this is fairly obvious. but trigger warning for violence/physical fighting, and well as blood and injury. (it’s a rough gig y’all fjdhdb)
i sincerely apologize in advance for what a mess this post is gonna be i just had a monster and i’m hyped up on the win and this is a hyperfixation i don’t get to talk about very often so feel free to ask questions and HERE WE FUCKIN GO
OK SO
albert is just,,,,,, a violent sports guy. always has been, probably always will be.
most forms of recreational fighting, football, hockey, rugby, fuck even soccer if he gets too into it. he’s just a Built Person, and he wicked competitive, and that makes for violent displays of athleticism
I think he was probably a hockey or football guy in high school, but he was also on the wrestling team cause i said so
then after graduation he got really into kickboxing, just to have something to do cause he didn’t have school sports to play and train for all the time
and then one day his coach is like ‘hey. you’re like,,, stupid good at this. you should sign up for competitions, you might make some money.’
he does, in fact, ‘make some money’, cause in straight kickboxing? he’s pretty much unmatched on the regional scene, which is ridiculous cause he didn’t start training his stand up game til he was 18 or 19
then American Top Team (ATT, it’s a really big MMA training camp that had trained a boat load of the top talent in the UFC) approaches him like ‘y’know if you worked on your grappling you could be a really solid mma fighter’
which is HUGE, but obviously albert can’t pick up his entire life and move to florida to train with them, so him and race (this is me, of course race is with al. supportive boyfriend and number one fan alert <3) find gyms willing to work with him based in new york. then he starts signing up for shit.
he sticks with stand up fighting when he can, he likes it more and cause,,,,, well. it’s more entertaining. the higher your entertainment value, the more people watch your fights. the more people watch your fights, the more likely you are to get noticed by big promotions (like the ufc)
he uses his wrestling to keep grapplers on their feet (he’s got like a 90% takedown defense, what an icon) and he picks people apart.
he has a lot of technical skill, but he also is fiery and passionate and scrappy. he gets hit too much for his own good a lot of the time.
he’s super durable. this man can get hit clean over and over and stay on his feet, but that’s not gonna hold up forever. it takes a loss or two in a row to motivate him to change it
and oh boy does he change it
he spends a month in auckland, new zealand at city kickboxing (one of the best kickboxing gyms in the world, and they lean heavily on tactics rather than just charging forward blindly)
he’s straight up a different fighter after that. he’s quick, light on his feet, and avoids punches way easier while also setting up the angles for his own. he gets signed to the ufc 2 fights later.
his first fight is short notice. no training camp, he’s got 5 days to make weight, AND it’s against a top 10 ranked opponent. no big deal, right?
and albert, being albert, is super chill about it. sure, this is the opportunity of a lifetime, could decide his entire future as a fighter, and he’s barely got time to prepare.
but he’s in the gym every single day of the week, he doesn’t super cut on weight like most ex-wrestlers, and most importantly, it’s just fighting. all he has to do is get in the octagon and punch some dude in the face. he can do that all day.
race on the other hand,,,,,,,,
he believes in albert with his whole soul, he really does, but Fuck watching your boyfriend get hit in the head is no fucking fun. especially when you know that the guy throwing the punches has been training for months, and your guy hasn’t even had a week
so he brings jack for moral support. also cause jack is DEFINITELY a ufc fan and was the only one that would understand what was happening.
at some point in the first round albert gets caught clean, opening a cut on his cheek, which makes race Panic Even More
but he gets cleaned up between rounds, and it’s not swelling so he can still see, and it’s over by the middle of the second.
and albert wins, cause (this is fiction and i’m telling a story) of fucking course he does, and he probably wins with some stupid dramatic spinning back kick and gets clipped on twitter cause he’s just Like That
the part that makes me, as the ralbert shipper, super fucking happy is coming up but i need to add a lil real talk first
considering albert is like,,,, openly in a relationship with a man when he gets into the ufc,,,,, that makes him the first publicly gay ufc fighter. like,,,, ever.
this is realized after his hand gets raised after the ref calls the stoppage.
bruce buffer makes the official announcement, al gets his hand raised, he gets interviewed by joe rogan, and then his coaches, jack and race get to come into the cage
at first everyone things it’s a best friend or something, especially after the dap up bro hug things he gives his coaches and jack
but then albert sees race, and you can watch this boy’s face light up on the camera. then race throws his arms around albert’s neck and albert half lifts him off the ground in a hug around his waist and ok, sure, that’s not the most platonic thing you’ve ever seen, but that doesn’t prove anything
and then albert kisses race. like full, actual, on the mouth in front of all the cameras kiss. cause he doesn’t give a shit.
and nobody’s talking about his spinning back kick anymore, cause Holy Shit That Wasn’t Very Straight Of You Dasilva
but he doesn’t address it, cause every other fighter gets to kiss their wife or girlfriend or whatever in the cage after they win and nobody bats an eye, so why should it be any different for him and his boyfriend?
also, because it needs to be said, statistically there are ALREADY lgbtq+ male fighters in the ufc. like currently, in real life. they’re just not out publicly. the ufc has openly supported queer people’s rights in the past, and is partnered with 4 prominent HIV/AIDS awareness organizations. there is multiple openly queer women currently fighting in the ufc, including amanda nunes, who has been repeatedly called the greatest women’s fighter of all time. but as of right now, there is no openly mlm ufc fighters, so that would technically make albert the first. we love a trend setter. now back to what i’m supposed to be talking about djdhdbd
and eventually interviewers and fans on twitter realize that they’re only going to get one answer to vague questions about sexuality, which is “i’m dating a man and i fight people for a living. if that makes me a revolutionary, so be it bro.”
he includes race in a lot of his answers, especially in interviews where they ask more personal questions or grill him on his mental game, cause he loves race and thinks he deserves credit for everything he does to make al a better person and a better fighter
also, purely for my own entertainment, i think after he becomes champion (cause of course he does) he goes on the joe rogan podcast, and joe is pretty much the only one who gets albert to talk about any of it in a genuine way
he doesn’t get sarcasm or a blunt “can we talk about fighting, now?” like everyone else, he gets a real answer, cause that’s what albert came on to do anyway
he talks about getting together in highschool, and how it was race’s idea for him to start kickboxing in the first place, and what a fucking genius race is and how he’s getting his PhD right now, and how he didn’t want to talk about it cause he didn’t want to be the “gay fighter”, and how that’s a trivialization of his relationship with race and he refuses to let it be seen as anything but what it is, which is the best fucking thing that’s ever happened to him
just. Ugh. them <3
THIS POST IS SO LONG HOLY SHIT DHDHDHDH
anyway-
y e a h. albert dasilva would rock anyone’s shit. if i keep having thoughts about this i’ll make one about him becoming champion. thank you for your time ✨
