COME ON ENGLAND!
It would be nice to see the USA or Canada get in at all.
Also, LOL it's in December so it won't be 50 fucking degrees.
:wtf2
How tough must it be to play the battle for third game.
I don't know if the players are rewarded more financially for 3rd spot. I"m guessing it's all about
FIFA rankings?
I don't know anything about soccer, I watch like 3 games every 4 years, all World Cup. But you know what cheapens the game? Penalty kicks at the end of regulation. It would be like the an NFL playoff game ending on a field goal competition, or an NBA final going to free throws. I just don't get it, someone is going to score a goal they should just continue.
The greatest victory in African history.
For once I agree with you.Quote:

Pretty much all the slaves/death are poor enslaved Muslims from neighboring countries. Kinda puts into perspective all the hypocrisy of the Israel/Palestinian narrative, where Al Jazeera (which is a Qatari state run news propaganda organization) is one of the main "reporters" on the ground reporting on behalf of the poor Muslim Palestinians being persecuted by the Israeli Jews, and yet the actual slavery/murder being perpetrated in large scale by their own sponsor on other Muslims they couldn't be less interested in reporting on.
A World Cup and fewer Muslims? Some folks would be chuffed with that. Not me of course, guv.Quote:

Not surprisingly, no mention here of an event all living British football fans, those that did not succumb, will mutter about to their last day.
A country, identified as the root of the sport, with a long suffering fan base in international competition, had their hearts ripped out in a World Cup quarter final match against the French.
They fought. They were every bit as good as their opponent but trailed by a goal with time running out. With minutes remaining they were handed a lifeline. A penalty kick. Twenty four feet lay between shooter and goal to even the score.
Team captain, Harry Kane, record holder of most goals for country (53), along with Wayne Rooney, had scored from the same position earlier in the game.
It is not a lay up. It's not a tap in. Crazy shit often happens. And it did.

Missing is one thing. Sailing it the over the net was in no one's mind.
Belly Buster will likely never be heard from again.
I slept fine however.
