As a reminder, like in our GDTs, the rules here are a bit relaxed, but are still in effect. Feel free to post all the cat GIFs, Start Trek memes, embeded Tweets of goal videos, hot takes, and whatever else you want to talk about that’s going on in the games tonight. We know a lot of you are in pools or bracket challenges, so feel free to share your victories, or frustrations with everyone.
