Sure Charlie Brown, you go kick that football.

At least the Lego one's actually blocks.

No you won't. It's over. I'm sorry.

He asked. I was there and saw him asking folks to participate.

The guy in the wheelchair was the best part.

Thank goodness Titz69 spoke his mind on the issue, now I know which way I should side in the debate

Does the "z" in "titz69" make it more exxtreme?

Looks like the problems kept multiplying for Tribbett, but that's really the Trouble with Tribbetts, isn't it?

Well, the WC in Brazil is really just the finale of a 2-year long tournament that includes 200+ teams. So, to be one of the last 16 standing is pretty good.

Yes, they can refer to it as the default. And the "trollololols" you're referring to won't give a shit because they don't watch women's sports in the first place.

The men's version of the World Cup has existed since 1930 and there was a need to differentiate it when the women's version started in 1991. How could you have two different tournaments with the exact same name? Not everything is misogyny.
