Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

We've seen silly national parks posts and the Merriam-Webster account does some good ones. But not sure I've seen a fan base and an airport go at it.

And had Scotland beat Ireland, they would have been cheering on the English over their auld alliance. Pretty fun start to the day with three nations (Ireland, Scotland and France) all having had a chance of claiming the title.

 

Okay, that's it.
The End of Times has arrived.
Drink all your booze to the last drip and eat your stash of caviar to the last egg

 

Like the Irish needed yet another reason to hate England.

Nice video of the goal by a prior youngest Premier League goal scorer. Not going to compare Dowman to Rooney at this point, but it sure looks like an exceptional talent.

Iran want to play World Cup matches in Mexico instead of US - Yahoo Sports

 

They could play in LA.Theres a million Iranians there!
IYKYK.

 

I have to admit, I am enjoying how Infantino gave him the peace prize as a total suck-up to the orange pedophile and, like so many others have learned the hard way, there is almost always a cost to doing that. That cost is often humiliation or destruction one way or another.

 

How many times do dopes like that have to ram their heads into a wall or get bonked on the head with a hammer before they learn their lesson? It slays me how people think appeasement is a good policy. Better to tell the whiney narcissist to STFU or alternatively, just don't respond to their protestations.

 

How many times can a leopard eat

Normally savvy people become complete dumbasses around him. Never ceases to amaze.

 

That post blows!
