It’s a reference to the original blade runner. That’s the quote the robot guy says at the end. That actor had bleached hair just like Hernandez.

It’s a quote from the ending of Blade Runner. He looks like the character quoted.

It's also a 48 team World Cup.
Which means the entirety of the Caribbean is going to qualify. Haiti will finally be back where they belong, among the best teams in the world.

They're going from 3.5 to 6 and there'll be a playoff for an extra space in which the host confederation gets two slots and everyone else (bar UEFA) get 1 so they could have 7 at the tournament, but 3 will get in as hosts, so qualifying might be weird for that confederation.

My favorite part of this is that it just means that everyone that makes it to the final qualifying stage in CONCACAF in the current format gets in. They should probably change it but lol if they don't.

You guys bit hard on that bait.

I still am an England doubter, but I will say it was cool to see them win on penalties finally. Sweden is a great match up for them, and they have a shot against Croatia. If Croatia lose to Russia this World Cup will match Korea levels of corruption and there’s no way England wins against that.

Other side is anyone’s guess. They are all unconvincing with moments of luck or brilliance.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Every win is just a prolonging of my anxiety; I know we’re getting booted out, but when? The closer to the final, the more hurtful it’ll get.

Hoping for Croatia. I had completely forgot they went to the final back in ‘98, until my Croatian girlfriend pointed it out. I’m going there in August would be cool if the country is riding that winning-high.

The ride is already here and we only passed 1/8 finals. The national team is the top story in most of the media not only in game days but all the time. And I'm pretty confident we'll be in top 3. When that happens the chequered hysteria will be unbearable.

The haters are against the whole team, not just these two. They call the team the 'ATMs' because Modric and/or Lovren used to withdraw money from ATMs to give it as cash to Mamić. They also call the supporters of the team 'hatters', because if you support the national team then supposedly you only follow football two weeks every other year and you come to the game with a funny chequered hat. A plastic, basically.

I don't know if the haters started forgiving but they are getting quieter.
