not what you said. you said they suspended the sentence TO favor the host country. you have no proof of this. maybe they just made the right decision BECAUSE it was the right decision.


You can’t possibly believe this.
Pretty nervous today. Not sure we can match our level against Paraguay.

I think you have it backwards. Achilles injuries mask themselves as calf strains until they become a catastrophic injury. I don't think calf injuries make you more likely to develop a new Achilles injury.


Well this made me feel bad.

Are England set to massively underperform for yet another World Cup?


Ehh. They could win this tournament.

Can’t say undisputedly, but I don’t hate the argument. You have to take how widely played the sport is into consideration, not just how dominant they were relative to their competition.

Ronaldo had an argument in 2014, and that’s about it.


I think his strongest argument would have been around 2018. Passed Messi in Champions Leagues, equal on ballon d’or’s, had the international trophy when Messi did not. To be clear, I would NOT have argued for him over Messi, but this is probably when his argument was strongest.

You aren’t wrong, but I guess I just expect plays to be deliberately silly and over the top.
Meh, if it’s a play I don’t give a frick. Nobody is going to consider it canon anyways.

Beautiful thing is it doesn't have to. One of the 2 teams will play in the final just like this game.


True. But thankfully they didn’t win it.

This is pretty damn easy. Scalpers have gobbled up most of the tickets and aren't booking rooms. Nobody is buying those expensive tickets and therefore not booking cross country travel without tickets



Yup, and by the time scalpers accept they're going to have to take a loss, it will be too late for many people to go.
Anything can happen in a game, but based on form, I feel very confident in saying Bubbles United is going down.

I'm so/so on the movie, but Jeffrey Wright was good as Gordon. I thought Judi Dench was a great M. Combining Wright and Bond, I liked him as Felix Leiter.

Generally I don't care if a character is race/gender swapped if it's not important to the character and doesn't feel like pandering.
I’ll be damned. It’s Xabi.


Best I’ve ever felt after a cup final defeat.
I honestly expect the team to completely tank against Spurs. We may see them celebrate clinching survival at Stamford Bridge.
Have to think Slot is out now, which would almost certainly mean no Alonso.

Maybe I’m heartless, but I’m honestly to the point where I’m just more interested in them trying to run a club and barely paying attention to the sad stories of locals.

That said, Trina the cleaner drops an all time great quote in episode 2.
quote:

So the reports saying Xabi Alonso. How do we frick this up?


Despite the reports, I think it’s fairly unlikely. I still think he has his eyes on Liverpool and is maybe hoping they’ll give up on Slot (and it very much seems like the fans already have).

Plus, I just don’t think he would be interested in working for BlueCo.
