...Discourages teams from enjoying massive advantages over rivals,

Do you understand what the legal concepts of culpability and negligence are? You're digging an even bigger hole for yourself with this comment - it sounds really ignorant from where I'm sitting.

Couldn't Spain have worn their regular away kit (which is black) and Holland their orange (like the 2010 final)? Or have Spain in the red and Holland in the same kit as tonight? I always think it's a shame when neither team can wear their home kit.

Considering "soccer" is derived from "association football", I wouldn't call it the original word for the sport.

Man, you're tweets aren't all that popular, are they?

Seventh Beatle, depending on where you rank Apu.

I never said you aren't British, but I'm feeling more and more confident that you don't actually know what you're talking about. Since you haven't actually bothered to provide a rebuttal of my comment or a defense of yours, I can only assume you agree with me and have changed your opinion on this issue.

Says the commenter who asked "what about the taxpayers?" like it's a relevant issue and tried to argue that somehow the monarchy costs the UK money (which, it has been demonstrated so, so many times, is simply not true) - obviously not knowing anything about what they are talking about.

As one of those British taxpayers whose earnings subsidised the helicopter (and benefits from the many, many millions of pounds profit the Royal Family earns for the UK treasury every year), I would rather her create a job for someone and not give the paps the pleasure of taking her picture, than have a young woman…

Shouldn't it be "ensure"? Unless Coach Hypothetical takes out a policy on little Timmy Hypothetical Jr. playing running back.

I know the symptoms seem minor, but really you should go and get some medical assistance. Strokes aren't something to be taken lightly - every second matters in saving your already declining mental faculties.

She even said I'm "one of the best members of the species", which I think was both a ringing endorsement of my skills, and also just a really kind thing to say.

It's like communicating with one big amygdala.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

It's really important you pay attention to these early-onset symptoms of a stroke - please go to a hospital before it gets worse. If you notice any numbness in addition to your obvious confusion and disorientation, call an ambulance.

Men and Nazi Germany are the same yet nobody talks about it.

It's none of the professor's damn business why the material is triggering, and any decent professor (or decent human being) would realise that, especially given the context and request being advance. Saying you have an aversion to depictions of violence, abuse, rape, etc. is not an admission of having experienced…

Nope, it just requires identifying the possibility of being triggered. Learn to read.
