No sympathy for Russia.

Croatia would’ve never been able to field a team had Russia not gotten involved in that Sarajevo imbroglio with that alliterative Scottish dance-pop band in June 1914.

Tough shits, guys!

Hazard’s ability to control the ball and take an ass kicking is truly something to behold. He played his very own anti-Neymar-reverse-hack-a-Shaq down the stretch and I loved every second of it.

Can’t get in trouble if you are adding -er, -y or -s to a last name.

You know this is a lie because there’s no way any baseball person bothers to call Daniel Stumpf anything more creative than Stumpy. Except Cal Ripken.

I saw a pickup truck driving around with a toddler standing up in the bed

Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video to the rescue:

To add to stavers defense of proper beer temps, if you have never had a cask-conditioned ale served at room temp, then shut up and try it! A good cask ale is freaking fantastic! When my wife and I last toured England years back, we made a point to seek out pubs that supported CAMRA, and their casks ales were the best…

Proper beer shouldn’t be so cold that you can’t taste it (looking at you, lagers) but equally shouldn’t be too hot. Around 12°C is the preferred temperature for bitter - and it is definitely better than chilled beers if done properly.

I loved Chevettes. They always had broken springs and I had a quota to sell springs. But holy crap were they awful awful cars.

Not caping for the fucked up shit he sponsored, but Michael Vick was the first example you could come up with of “bad guy beating up another bad guy?” Why not more recently outed scumbags like Jared Fogle or Larry Nassar (you know, people who actually molested children)? Or, at least, match the crime i.e. “Michael…

uhhhhhh. i really don’t think you can draw a useful equivalence between the United States’ attitude towards LGBT rights, and Qatar’s and Russia’s attitudes. I’m honestly pretty mystified about what point you’re even trying to make here tbh

THANK YOU. Came here to respond the same. Our two national teams might not be as good as Brazil vs Argentina, but the hatred is absolutely there. Even a momentary googling of fan behavior at Azteca would make this perfectly clear. Bags of urine, protective barriers, closed coliseum sections, requiring extra f-ing…

Golf in general sucks so I fail to see the difference.

That’s not the point. Germany was facing a team most experts predicted as a strong opponent. The same couldn’t be said about Australia or Iceland, or even Switzerland. Mexico is better than Switzerland and way better than Iceland or Australia (both won’t make it out of the group stage). Germany was the favorite to…

So now Argentina, Brazil, and Germany have all disappointed against inferior teams in their openers

*dies from exsanguination by mosquitos and heat stroke*

So they really only ever made one.
