@heavensbvnny And make sure you pay attention to the massive video billboard right next to the road.

Good idea. It would also be great if Americans visiting Europe also went off the beaten track a bit more. Like if you go to the UK - skip London and instead go to Wales or the Lakes or the Yorkshire Dales or the Scottish highlands.

Seeing visitors to 🇺🇸 for World Cup raving about their trips. reminds me how we here should travel more within our Country. It's unique, diverse and endless. Catch a cheap ✈️ or jump in your car and explore.

@musicandroots Yes. Apply for a job without one and see how many times you get called back. Just because they’re prevalent doesn’t mean the essentials aren’t ridiculously expensive.
English
Open a book. Read how most people lived on this earth up to 5 minutes ago. By comparison you’re richer than almost all of them. How do I know? You’re typing on a bloody smartphone.

Rent takes 60% of your salary, bills take 30%, and you’re expected to ‘treat yourself’ with the remaining 10%. Bro, this isn’t adulting, this is sophisticated indentured servitude with better WiFi.

Do you think my parents and grandparents generations didn’t do the same thing when I was younger? Do you think that you are entitled to the labors of others? The older generations didn’t even pay into Social Security for their entire lives and they had bank CD’s drawing interest in the teens while I was paying 18% on my mortgage. But I didn’t blame anyone for my situation. You aren’t uniquely situated in American history.

I was attempting to leave Chick Filet today and it dawned on me why younger people claim that they can’t get ahead. Most of those I saw in the parking lot had 70 plus K SUV’s while I had my 2010 Corolla. I never had a car close to that nice and I’m guessing that they have a much nicer/ larger home than I’ve ever had. Moral of the story is don’t blame the “boomer” who paid his own way through college when you can’t get what you want when you want.
English
@claud334 Keep blaming others. It will serve you well.
English
@KGrahamContent Because over the season the best teams win more often. Not everything has to be instant gratification.
English
Another reason soccer is not popular here. Ties. They suck. In our country there is a winner and a loser. Why even have a game/match if no one wins?! And yes there are occasional ties in our NFL in the regular season and those suck as well.
Kevin Graham@KGrahamContent
Please soccer. Make the over the top dramatic flopping stop. This is a major reason soccer is not as popular here.

@PochardCapital Kinda like when our local utility monopoly spends money on marketing and sponsors sports teams and building. I literally have no choice but to use their service.
English
Maybe I am retarded but I do not understand why Visa and MasterCard sponsor big sporting events. It’s not like I can go to either directly to get a card? It’s not like B2B customers don’t know about them?
English
@semplefipod You picked the one game that gets a decent crowd to show up for those games. Show some footage of the upper decks from the week after.
English
generally we use them to go absolutely nuts

What do Americans do with all these big stadiums?

The older I get, the more bewildering Peter Shilton's 125 caps become...
When Football Was Better@FootballInT80s
Having started Euro 88 with a loss to Ireland in their opening match, England had no margin for error against the Dutch, who had also lost their opening game to the USSR. Ruud Gullit was the name on everyone’s lips and was widely tipped as the man to watch. However, on 15/06/1988, it was his AC Milan team-mate Marco van Basten who stole the headlines with a devastating hat-trick. His performance was immaculate. England were heading for an early exit, while the Dutch kept alive their dreams of European glory.
English
@AGinDallasTX @TheDemocrats That’s kind of like when Americans go overseas and venture out of the tourist areas.
What other countries have for profit healthcare?
English
@WVGooner @TheDemocrats I think every day life anywhere faces those same issues. I would still wanna live in the USA more than any other country. The media seems to capitalize on making it look horrible here. I’m glad they got to see it for themselves. 🇺🇸
English
It is crazy how all the foreigners here for the World Cup absolutely love America and post about it constantly.
But if you ask any Democrat, it is a horrible place to live right now.
Please @TheDemocrats, switch countries with these amazing people. 🙏🙏🙏

@Callihan_ If it takes that long to figure it out then just go with the umpires call. Video should only be used for a clear obvious error. No point having an umpire if video is going to take several mins to decide everything.
English
On the Guzman caught stealing at 3rd yesterday, there's just no way that can be overturned. Is he out? Yeah, probably. But on video, there is nothing that shows he was without a doubt 100% out. You can't overturn a call on assumption.
English
They are legitimately propagandized by their socialist governments to think all of America is the poorest slums of the 1980s so they come here and are totally shocked everywhere isn't Detroit. (Detroit, which was destroyed by unions)
Pain.𝕏@GBarca_
This is pretty insane from the Americans
English
@themaddierune The entirety of Ireland is gearing up to respond having heard their accents butchered in everything.
English
No actor has ever successfully done a Southern accent. Not a single one. I swear they have invented an entirely new dialect that no human being has ever spoken on earth. As someone who was born and raised in the deep south, I literally cringe when I hear it, and I immediately stop watching. We feel it in our BONES. Something about it is deeply personal and I can't fully explain why.
English
@timstillman_ Sounds equivalent to the West Virginia pepperoni roll. Pregame fuel to go with the beer.
English
But it’s also designed to be paired with real ale (not lager, proper real ale!) 5-6 pints of real ale dulls your taste buds so strong, pungent flavours are necessary. These ingredients hit that magic sweet spot of requiring no cooking, strong flavours, alcohol absorbent but it doesn’t bloat you so you can carry on on the ale afterwards 👌

Would recommend…

The American mind cannot comprehend the pub cheese and onion roll

@SSN_Clemson @BarstoolClemson @ClemsonSports @Sidelines_SN I’ve been a big Arsenal fan my whole life and they are “The Gunners”. Years ago, Arsenal fans became known as gooners. I think gooner means something else now but I have no idea what.

The European mind simply could not comprehend a night under the lights in Death Valley. Say I’m wrong if you don’t know ball. Packing out more than most European soccer clubs do for their top games. #WhyNotUS
English
@SSN_Clemson @BarstoolClemson @ClemsonSports @Sidelines_SN And that’s not a dig at anyone, I love going to WVU games for the same reason. There are a lot of factors that make the games great on both sides. It’s not a direct comparison

@SSN_Clemson @BarstoolClemson @ClemsonSports @Sidelines_SN That’s my point. Not a difficult achievement with so few home games. Each one is an event.
