Let us agree at least that throwing bottles and bags of shit or piss at players is not a good thing, regardless of who you support.

Speaking as a parent, you love your pets more than anything until you have kids. Then they are just pets. I’m not saying that you don’t care for them and love them still, but it is not even close to being the same thing. In the end, this does make your decision on what you have to do easier, if you have concerns about…

You can do it! You just need a patient person and a big empty parking lot.

The new thing is teaching kids to ride with balance bikes, not training wheels. No pedals—the kid just gets used to pushing off and gliding. It makes sense, I think. The balance was the first thing I started to grasp, and once you’ve got that, it’s easy as hell to figure out the pedaling.

I’m in this exact situation - a little older, and never, ever learned to ride a bike. Tried several times (last time 9 years ago) so..how come there are NO training wheels for adult bikes?

Yep, can relate to that! I’m the youngest of three, my siblings being 12 and 15 years older than me. I feel like I spent the first half of my childhood as the youngest, and the next half as an only child. Plenty of wanting to play board games but no one to play them with.

Cookies are joy. I’m trying to figure out why y’all keep murdering joy before it gets a chance to grow up.

No, Forever is 21.

• Olivia Culpo is sad about breaking up with Nick Jonas. [Us Weekly] Well, from what I understand she kept him in chains. And made him jealous. So there’s that.
  

Watched the movie last night, disagree with Leitch’s idea that it’s about how losing childhood is inherently sad. I came away with the idea that while there is plenty to celebrate about childhood, that the adopting the emotional complexity that comes with growing up is ultimately a beautiful process. You can’t lean…

Reposting, because fuck this noise:

Because, despite his relentless efforts to keep the culture and traditions of his native Ecuador alive in his children, Isabel and Gerrado jr. have long since given up speaking, or even caring about Spanish.

At least they have plenty of players who meet what the world media like to have... players fluent in English to interview.

From what I’ve heard, the majority of the Mexican-Americans are fluent in Spanish, though that doesn’t always make them ideal interview candidates. Those who aren’t fluent tend to drift away as it’s too tough to survive as a player in that environment.

Can Mexico’s American forwards beat England’s American goalkeeper?

I would believe how little they think of women’s futbol there, my family is from Mexico. Sadly our culture is evolving at a snail’s pace. That bullshit machismo is alive and well. I hope with the more success the women’s team earns the more respect they’ll get. Mexico is like any other footballing nation when it comes…

I’m happy to see the Mexican women getting their own unique kits finally.

I choo choo choose to recommend this.
