we sucked no doubt. but also very dumb to act like the only games that matter are when casuals watch.

I have a ton of friends that dont give a frick about soccer that watched our group games and were talking about how good we looked.

you would have to be more than ignorant to not recognize how we played last night was not representative of our performance at this world cup.


I'm not surprised that we lost. Belgium is better.

What surprised me is how disorganized we appeared.

We had more than one brain "freese", pun intended.

On Belgium's first goal, we could have easily cleared the ball, but our 3 closest defenders just stood there and looked at it.
Did someone try to take out Macron during his visit to Syria?

Eighteen wounded as explosions rock Damascus during Macron’s visit to Syria

quote:

At least 18 people have been wounded after two explosive devices went off in the Syrian capital, Damascus, as French President Emmanuel Macron visits the country.

Syria’s Interior Ministry said four police officers were among those wounded in the blasts, the state news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.

Television footage showed plumes of smoke rising over the city, and other footage shared online and verified by Al Jazeera showed a vehicle on fire.

An Al Jazeera correspondent said that the blasts occurred near the Ministry of Tourism and a hotel where Macron was meant to be staying during a visit to the capital for talks with his Syrian counterpart, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Macron’s office said the president, who was on his way to meet al-Sharaa, did not hear ?the blasts and the visit continued as normal.

The Interior Ministry told SANA that the blasts took place “outside the security zone designated for the French President’s residence, and did not pose any direct threat to the residence or the official visit programme, which is proceeding according to the planned schedule”.

The attack came after the United States and Iran agreed to a one-week ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz.


Wait, what? We have a ceasefire within a ceasefire?

I retired last September after 43 years in IT.

In my last job, I had on-line meetings with our CIO almost every day.

He always looked like he had just either woken up or had just finished a round of golf.

Thank you for confirming my point.

I’m going to say it’s a little better because at least they have nice interstates and highways. You can see the difference as soon as you cross the state line at the Sabine River near Vinton, LA. The interstate immediately becomes wider, smoother, has more lights on the road, etc.


However, people have told me that the towns in that part of Texas are just as trashy as Louisiana. I’ve never actually done anything in those towns though. I’ve only passed through. Any of you ever live in those areas?


The Texans that live there are trashy. The money comes from the Jeets and Muslims.

Texas is infested with Jeets and Muslims.

Pretty sure I said ESPN and last time I checked they were an American company based in America.


But the headline you linked says "ESPN writer".

His name is Mark Ogden, and he is English.

I refuse to believe that.

Italian - American? is this 1949, so dumb. Theres around 18M people in the USA with Italian ancestry and approximately 75% are mixed with German, English or something else and aren't going around waving italian flags like Mexicans.


Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup. Otherwise, they would definitely have a large group of Americans of Italian ancestry supporting them.

They can, and they do.

There weren't telegraph lines across the Atlantic until the 1860's.


1858 was the first.

Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

The guy I was replying to said that there was telegraph. That is why I asked why it took a week for the news to travel to London.

Bigger homes
Wider access to goods
Higher incomes
Owning more shite


Roads that are wide enough for more than one car.

I keed, I keed. I've driven in Europe.

Most of the time it is not a problem, but every now an then you find yourself on a road and just have to hope there is no one else coming the other way.

That was with steamboats crossing the Atlantic and telegraph.


If they had telegraph, why would it take a week for the news to reach London?
