I love you Brits,
But your days of getting by with saying regular stuff but making it sound profound due to your accent are OVER.
You had me for a while
Can I say something about the state of US soccer and why it doesn't live up?
Think people are overcomplicating it.
The rest of the world only has soccer, our kids grow up wanting to be football, basketball, hockey and baseball players.
Simple as that imo
The 5 reasons soccer won't increase in popularity after the world cup is over.
1. The flopping. This goes against the soul of every American. We value grit, toughness and basically not being a pussy.
2. The clock. No one wants to get to the end of a game and have no clue when it's over. Just stop & start the clock when you need to, like sane people.
3. Offsides. Just put a line out there like everyone else. This floating line you have makes the game unwatchable. It's like a built in, anti-excitement glitch you manufactured for your game.
4. Red cards. What a stupid rule that you automatically get kicked out for the next game for getting one. I can understand suspending someone after a league review of something you did that was horrible. But to automatically get suspended because of what a ref saw at full speed is stupid.
5. Ties. In America we call it kissing your sister, cause that's the same feeling you get after a tie. Pure disgust. In soccer, it seems like the result you prefer most. Play til you have a winner.
🇺🇸🇬🇧 London's Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, just posted a tweet to celebrate the UK's Pride day, which organizers decided should occur on the 4th of July this year.
He said, "Today at Pride in London, we’ll show the world that love will always triumph over hate."
Not sure why the capital needs to be covered in more LGBTQ flags than it has ever seen Union Jacks, but okay.

Really my only complaint about the World Cup, and soccer in general, is that some of these important matches get decided by penalty kicks. Is there not a better way to decide who wins than something that is pretty much almost just a crapshoot guess about which way the ball is gonna go? I’m thinking some form of double overtime that tilts the offense/defense balance to encourage a winning goal, such that the deciding play is still scored by live action instead of a static play.
A minor issue given the wider list of shit things about this WC but the Dutch fans chanting the same eight bars over and over non-stop is pissing me off no end. Do they not have anything else to sing? #NEDJPN
BBC have very good presenters and pundits but are inevitably getting heat for their World Cup Salford studio setting. One way to make their shows feel more connected with the tournament is simple: they have good reporters and production teams out here on the ground in Kansas City covering England. Give them more air-time, making the show feel less distant from the action, and bringing more detail and up-to-date info and insight into the Salford debate.
Also, BBC are very successful in their “clips” strategy but it is still strange that there isn’t a morning highlights show of the late-night/overnight World Cup action. BBC have very good staff who could easily do it. It's possible to enjoy clips *and* want a more reflective highlights programme. #FIFAWorldCup
UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
Si es que no falla!! Ayer estaba viendo el gameplay de GoW LauFey y pensé “a ver quién es el primer gilipollas en decir la primera gilipollez sobre las mujeres”.
Ni medio día ha faltado para que aparecieran, y no pocos. Pero me hace gracia un comentario en especial que dice: “En Sony no aprenden, no se enteran de que su publico mayoritario es masculino y los hombres quieren manejar a hombres”. Pobre infeliz y acomplejado, en el fondo da hasta penilla tal retraso mental.
Tengo 36 años, los videojuegos llevan conmigo toda mi vida, y soy hombre. No me puede importar menos el genero del protagonista de una aventura. Lo que me
importa es que la aventura merezca la pena recorrerla. El resto de estupideces para machirulandia 🦍🦍🦍
Por cierto, me despido con 4 personajazos femeninos de PlayStation con las que vivirían cientos de aventuras mas.
