#Nemanja Matic

The latest from the Matic meme:

"Two thirds of the earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Matic on Defense."

Someone also called him "giocatore sontuoso" which auto-translates to "sumptuous gamer" and that's definitely the title of my one man nerd burlesque act.

I'm 100% sure I'm in love with Matic. Man played out of his mind tonight. Looked like he was 20 running around the way he did. I'm so glad we got him.

Get your name on a shirt sleeve

20th minute:

Brother: I wonder how much BingX is paying us. You cannot use it in the USA or UK, so they are targeting a really small group of people. Me: It's Russian, isn't it? I mean, they're probably targeting Asia. Also I hate that we have a crypto sponsor. I wonder how Mudryk feels about this, too. Brother: I hope you dig deep enough and it is Roman. Me: It's probably named after his favorite search engine. Brother: Yeah, if you cannot find it on Bing, you bing it on X. If that does not work, then you throw a lot of money at the problem and get your name on a shirt sleeve. Me: BingX!* * Not available in the US and UK.

43rd minute:

Brother: Osmajic should be pronounced 'asthmatic.' Me: I wonder if he's Matic, but with an Australian accent. Brother: Let me look it up on BingX. Yes, he is. Me: (BingX also not available in Australia.) (Actually I have no idea if it is or not.)

Three Jokes From Rome

The AS Roma football fandom is a little wild, and there are some real weird corners of it, but one of my favorite things is the sense of humor they have on social media. In the lead up to today’s Europa Cup there are three jokes that never fail to make me laugh: 

1. The Fragility of Paulo Dybala: Dybala is one of Roma’s top scorers even despite being out for much of the season with injuries; he’s known to be “injury prone” which is why it was a little bit of a risk to sign him. That said, he’s spectacular in play and Rome loves him, so every time a photograph of him is posted, the commentary fills with people acting overly concerned for his well-being. “Dybala, don’t walk on that grass, you’ll slip! Think of your ankles!”  “Please carry Paulo to the airplane, don’t make him walk, what if he trips?” “SOMEONE PUT THE BOY IN A GLASS CASE UNTIL THE GAME PLEASE.”  “There’s too much ice in your glass, Paulo, don’t drink it so quickly!” 

2. The Sturdiness of Nemanja Matic: Conversely, Nemanja Matic is a much less flashy player and has scored fewer goals (expected, given he’s a midfielder) but is incredibly hard-working and always seems to be where he’s needed. He has become the local equivalent of a Chuck Norris meme. After a game where he did a lot of running, the next morning people were posting stuff like “Matic hasn’t stopped running, he ran through my yard this morning” and “Matic has run to the sea and that’s the last we saw of him”. The best of these was on a recent post that showed the team on the plane to Budapest for the Europa Cup. Someone posted “How are they sending internet posts on a plane in flight?” and someone else replied, “Matic is such a powerful wifi conductor they’re just using him.” 

3. The Vitality of Europa Cup: The cup is a big deal for Rome for reasons we don’t really need to get into on this, a nerdy tumblr, but the importance of the match has caused discussion of everything from a girl’s father missing her graduation to attend it (Marta, the graduating daughter, is a bit of a meme at this point) to a joke that I’ve seen a million times even in America and still laugh at: 

“I have tickets to the cup match, but it’s the same day as my wedding. So if anyone wishes to attend in my place....the wedding is at the Church of the Sacred Heart at 11am.”
