Ah yes, the famously western-exclusive game of soccer, as unknown and inaccessible to the Global South as ice hockey.

It is the west that is telling the rest of the world this! :mad:

I think that's true for pretty much everything that claims to be carbon neutral. Most of them time they buy carbon credits from sources that are at best shady and at worst just straight up a scam.

Not to take away from the serious issue but I can never get over how loving decadently fancy athlete locker rooms are these days. Not as disgusting a use of money as when college football locker rooms are like this but still. Just put some goddamn lockers and closets, not a loving spaceship pod.

With messages like these, they should be made to change outside in the desert.

For this dry rear end shawarma that's in a tortilla for some reason?

Wonder what that faill rear end shawarma would cost a week after the World Cup if it were sold on a street corner in Qatar instead.

The simplest way I can put it to new people who don't understand draws is that a draw where your team outplayed the opposition for 90 minutes is perhaps even worse than if you had lost, but getting a point when you had no right to do so is the greatest feeling in the world. Draws own and are bullshit at the same time

It all evens out in the end in a game of two halves
