Birmingham demolished The Exchange Building (1863) for HSBC on the ramp in the 60's.

THEY WROTE HISTORY. THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER AS LEGENDS, AS THE GOLDEN GENERATION OF SAMMARINESE FOOTBALL. THEY DID SOMETHING WE COULDN’T DO IN 20 YEARS, IN 140 GAMES, IN 12.600+ MINUTES OF FOOTBALL. A WIN, A FUCKING WIN.

Need some gaming suggestions! 🎮
I'm currently playing through FF7 Rebirth but I'm getting burned out on the whole action-RPG thing. Recommend a game that doesn't hand me a sword or have me mopping up side quests plzz 👍
Any suggestions? PS5 only.
