@johnkonrad @DavidJay20 Bunch of snow flakes here, chill. If you knew the story behind most navy call signs you would think this one is pretty tame.

@DavidJay20 Well the Navy could and should ban aviators from using the names of mass murderers.

Ship guy here, not a plane guy, but I was honestly surprised how lame the Blue Angels show was at NYC’s navy parade this year. Was it just an off day, or did they tone down the routine after COVID to launch Operation Stalin? I know some aviators have told me it’s become lame because of the new planes but others tell me the F/A-18’s are MORE capable. Others tell me it’s been nuetered because of safety concerns but that makes no sense since technology has improved and the once high fatality rate has plummeted to zero in the last ten years. P.S. “Stalin” is the callsign of the first female pilot accepted to the team. IDK why the Navy is issuing commie callsigns.

@SkylarSkye3 Lol, no

Americans, is today’s game bigger than the Super Bowl?

@AtlGorillaTalk @MrWinMarshall Who are they targeting?

@MrWinMarshall The first two are generic. The English are specifically targeting someone. Easy difference.

Mexico name their stadium Azteca and have Aztec patterns on their kits, celebrating a civilisation of mass human sacrifices and ritual cannibalism. Norway wear Viking horns and have rowing celebration commemorating the savage rape, pillage and conquests by their forefathers. But for England… apparently it’s “discriminatory” for us to sing ‘10 German bombers’, celebrating our victory in the Battle of Britain, lest we offend… Nazis?

@sgAlterEgo @MrWinMarshall No they did it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sac…

@MrWinMarshall Spanish colonizers and historians spread those negative propaganda. In actuality, the Aztecs were highly sophisticated and advanced civilization who made the mistake of trusting the Europeans disguised as traders. And ultimately lost everything - language, culture, history.

Europe: “America has no soccer culture” America: *does a wildly corrupt thing with the president of fifa* Europe: no not like that

@RCGaming77 @calwokebot Sure. But that was the OPs question.

@sting2063 @calwokebot we can start talking about the Native Americans and Alaskan Natives if you want.

Name one thing that Belgium does better than the US. I’ll wait.

The USMNT should just sit Balogun and then beat Belgium's ass anyway. Then Belgium will forever be known as a group of cowardly whining babies who still lost.

Look man, I don't like Trump either but the boys have worked their asses off to get to this point and now you're going to abandon them? To be performative on social media? Over a decision they had nothing to do with? You sniveling little baby. Your support isn't worth a penny.

World Cup timeline from the American perspective Week 1: What is the world cup? Oh, we have a team in it? Cool, we'll check it out. Week 2: These Scottish fans are fun as hell. Damn, the Japanese fans helped clean up the stadium? That's awesome. These fans are really loving our country and we are loving them back. Week 3: That's too bad that Scotland and Japan got eliminated, we are gonna miss them. Please come back anytime. Wait, the US is still in it? Let's goooooo! Why are they trying to kick out one of our players for something like getting their feet tangled up? Week 4: Awesome, the soccer officials saw it was stupid to kick someone out for the next game for something so mundane. Our guy can still play! Wow, These remaining fans are a bunch of whiney bitches. They are so afraid the US might win the whole thing that they are crashing out. Ok, time to start trolling these losers.

Regardless of where you stand on Balogun-Gate, the whole reaction to both sides highlights some very key differences in the American vs European mindset. In the American mind, "getting it right" is the most important thing. Thats how justice is served, is by getting to the correct result based on the play on the field. The European mind is different though. They have an instinct towards bureaucracy and are obsessed with process. The Process must be respected. Respecting process is more important than the specifics of what happened on the field. And thats why you get this wild take thats fairly common where a Euro will say something like "He didnt deserve the red card, but once it was given it cannot be overturned!". To the American mind, justice is served by getting the call right, regardless of process. To the European mind, justice is served by respecting process, regardless of the result. Its a fascinating look into the psyche of both, and if I'm permitted a little armchair psychoanalysis of both groups, id say the reason lies in their history. The Europeans spent centuries as the peasant class of Europe, essentially being forced to accept whatever shit the aristocracy piled up on them. There was no "appeals" process, they took what they had too, because there was no other option. In this environment, a certain "acceptance of one's fate" or immunity to overt injustice likely seeped into the national psyches. No one had success by "fighting the power", the power imbalance was simply too great. What eventually saved them though, was process. Rules-based orders were the only thing that gave them a semblance of power vs the aristorcracies of their upper classes. And so they came to revere Process as the Ultimate Good and working OUTSIDE process as the Ultimate Evil. The Americans, on the other hand, never developed their national psyche in the world of Kings and Aristocrats. Class was far less rigid in the new world, and risk-taking WAS highly rewarded there. "Fighting the power" to "do what was right" WAS greatly rewarded during the American Revolution when a few great men "fought the power" and were gifted with what would become the most powerful, prosperous country on Earth. And so a certain disdain against "process" took hold, a general feeling that "process" was only as good as long as it provided fair and just outcomes. As opposed to the European model, where "process " was the only thing that had given them anything close TO "fair and just outcomes". So in that context, the massive gap between both sides makes sense Or maybe this is all nonsense and its just anti-American, pro-Euro tribalism, who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

@RCGaming77 @calwokebot I was going to say genocide in Congo.

@calwokebot Avoiding corruption on a world championship. Mic drop…

@BallSmartMUFC @JoueursBE @FIFAcom Just did, he was definitely a brit.

@sting2063 @JoueursBE @FIFAcom You should look him up, he seems like your hero. Yank bellend

Americans arguing over the Flo Balogun non-suspension is THE MOST American thing I think I’ve ever seen. Half the people think it’s great. Half the people think it’s wrong because Trump pushed FIFA to do it. Here’s my take: Balogun shouldn’t have been assessed a red card. He shouldn’t have to miss tonight’s match. If you were president, would you just cross your arms and say “sorry but VAR said it was a red” The real story here is how FIFA has the most ambiguous rules and they do it for THIS reason, to go with whichever way the wind blows. In the end, the guy who should be playing IS playing. FIFA is corrupt, we all know it, but the right thing is happening tonight. Go USA 🇺🇸

@BallSmartMUFC @JoueursBE @FIFAcom Who is that? Typical brit?

@sting2063 @JoueursBE @FIFAcom You’ve got a weird obsession with kids mate, proper Jimmy savalle you

@BallSmartMUFC @JoueursBE @FIFAcom You brought up nonce, you nonce. And correct I dont watch soccer.

@sting2063 @JoueursBE @FIFAcom In no way shape or form is it a kids game, if you think so you clearly don’t watch or know anything about it. Your fixation on kids is strange, seek help
