@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I don't know anyone that doesn't take days off at work or that doesn't work somewhere that takes government holidays off. Everything else is expensive there. Forget owning property too.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 It baffles me, genuinely baffles me, why anyone would choose to live there. I realised I never want to grow old there. I never wanted to risk getting sick there. I never wanted to fight with an insurance company to cover doctor ordered tests. It's mad ye accept this.

First country to insist on singing their own anthem in a match that doesn't involve them at any world cup. The US is a deeply insecure place.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I mean I love it here, Europe was nice to visit, wouldn't want to live there. Healthcare is "cheaper" but just folded into your tax bill. Here most people have some kind of insurance, although low income has government care.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 The first person I met at the airport in Frankfurt was Irish

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 That's because most didn't. It used to be about 5% with a passport in the early 90s, but now it's at 51%. Compared to Ireland, where about 85-90% of the pop2has a passport.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 No. I don't really enjoy traveling after spending years in the Army doing it lol.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Most decent hotels have it. You clearly weren't staying in those. So the late 90s? And you've never travelled to Europe since then?

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I mean I definitely stayed in decent hotels and buildings there. They didn't have it. I believe the only building I went in with air conditioning was a REWE. No this was 2009.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Oh. What's stopping you then? (This is the ironic part, because Europeans act like Americans need to get with times)

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Or most of Europe hasn't needed air-conditioning because we never had long periods of weather like the kind we're now suffering from due to Climate Change. The infrastructure wasn't required because they were rare occurrences.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 No I was an adult. This was a college exchange program.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 And exchange student? You were a child?

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I mean but generally it is used as a gotcha. Most Europeans are under the impression that Americans don't travel.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 It wasn't a gotcha, I was genuinely trying to understand your understanding of countries in Europe. I lived and worked in the US for 6 years. I travelled throughout the country. I regularly visited up to last year. I even turned down a Green card.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I was in Germany. It was a college exchange program. Started in the west near France. Ended in Berlin. Fun times. But seriously, no air conditioning. First hand experience.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Where though? It's a very large continent.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Sorry to disappoint your attempt at a "gotcha"

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Should I take that as a no, you've never travelled to a European country? Not even on holiday? Not even when you were in the army? Seriously?

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Oh no I spent several months in Europe. Longer than that in the Middle East.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Oh and the reason air conditioning is brought up is because the rest of the developed world has air conditioning, and generally Europe likes to criticize the US for being backwards. So it's mostly the irony.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Have you ever had an original thought? Air-conditioning? What is it with Yanks being obsessed with air-conditioning? Genuine question. Have you ever been to a European country? If so, which one?

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Let's be honest if they're a politician they're likely corrupt. Have you ever met one that isn't to some extent?

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Who's "all" in this scenario? There has never been a more corrupt modern day US politician than Trump. It's absolutely blatant.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I mean that's your opinion. Now as far as them being corrupt sure...but they all are. I mean you can't have FIFA without corruption. They got rid of Blatter thinking it'd fix something but it's always going to be corrupt.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 This is entirely about Trump. He instigated the entire thing. He turned the world against the USMT. He is a perfect match for Infantino. Both blatantly corrupt people. Or are you saying they're not corrupt?

@tbfl141 @TriciaG28 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Is it the lack of air conditioning there that makes you so corrosive? I can tell some sweaty hands typed this.

@gregatron_5000 @TriciaG28 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Look you’re an inbred who shags either his sister or mother, we get it but for the love of god (sorry blasphemy should do that it will upset you), go and educate yourself and please shut the fuck up

@tbfl141 @TriciaG28 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Here comes Sir Whiney again. Go away, the adults are talking.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I mean I get you hate Trump, that's cool and all. But the point I'm making is that this is a precedent that FIFA had already established. It's like you desperately are trying to tie to Trump when this is more about FIFA. And it was a bad call being overturned.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Yes, different article. So, not the same thing. Therefore irrelevant. Don't think I haven't noticed you've switched from the Trump timeline to basically "it was fine that it happened because Ronaldo etc." Maybe Infantino can invent another trophy to placate the Infant-In-Chief.

@TriciaG28 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 I'm just telling you, FIFA had already set the precedent. Otamendi and Caicedo also had similar treatments but they used a different article to suspend those red cards.

@gregatron_5000 @tbfl141 @aussieavidread @JackDunc1 Right...... So FIFA just took it upon themselves, before the USMT had submitted their case, to postpone the Red Card. Had you ever bought a bridge? I think you're their target demographic......
