‘Holy burshhh!’

Not great success!

Except France didn’t play like shit for 60 minutes. They played well, but they were being smothered by Croatia (which is what they tend to do, except against Russia where they couldn’t get the ball out of the first stage of positional attacking due to high pressure by the Russian first line). Eventually, Croatia’s gas…

You have to take into account the context. This is at half-time, when France were 2-1 up. Deschamps particularly says that Croatia is coming for them and coming aggressively. Therefore, French players should play simple and with one touches. Yes, he says they should channel the ball to Mbappé but he also says for…

Ah, but now you admit that there is a fundamental difference between social democracy, socialism and communism (or whatever you want to call a type of futher collectivism).

Actually, yes, Socialism is about state ownership of the means of production. Profit sharing assumes redistribution, which is also a tenet of Social Democracy.

Spain has been to a grand total of 1 WC final. How the fuck are they even mentioned here? Take away their 2010 run and you’ll see each and every time a group stage exit or a first round loss. Spain has historically performed bad at World Cups, when compared to Germany, Italy, Brazil and France. Yes, France has been to…

I don’t have to ask, I’m European and have benefitted greatly from those things you are describing. However, what you are trying to describe - social democracy - is nothing but a capitalist state with a strong welfare network. That’s it, that’s what Social Democracy is.

Fellaini is so fucking tough in aerial duels that he is responsible for letting Umtiti step in front of him to score the winning goal in the semi-final.

If you’re going to use Jessie Lingard in the midfield, you’ve already lost when on the other side is 1 very good midfielder (Brozovic), 1 arguably near-to-world class midfielder (Rakitic), and the best midfielder in the game today (Modric). Henderson and Ali are good, but that trio is just not gonna cut it.

Because socialism has never been about the oppression of rights. You’re right.

It’s not? Care to share, then, why is Venezuela all fucked up? I mean, not even two years ago HamNo was singing the fucking praises to Chavez.

My favorite part out of all that mess is that Jordan Sargent managed to fall assbackwards to a senior editor position instead of rightfully being blackballed by the industry.

Don’t forget regular exercise, exposure to sunlight and fresh air. All these three can be accomplished by a morning jog in your local park.

I’m allergic to it, so fuck it.

Of course it’s because of government officials. Corruption is rampant. My point is, infrastructure was poor and insufficient before the 2010 quake, due to decades of corruption, and now is virtually non-existent.

Pfffft, John Terry and Wayne Bridge figured it out, so why can’t De Bruy- wait, what is that?

Actually, no. Giroud has been doing the same type of in the trenches work Lukaku has put in. It’s just that the drop-off in terms of quality between Giroud and his team-mates (particularly Griezmann, Mbappé and Pogba) is so steep, that you tend to notice it. Of course not scoring any goals helps. But I posit that…
