Are you watching the World Cup?

Perhaps someone who thinks real football is Communist and un-American.

Somebody like Billy Bob Neck here:

Wow!

This guy is a piece of work... Exibit 1 of what's rotten in the US. A self-parody of Trump's electorate.

"Mexicans from Brasil, Mexicans from Uruguay -- they got some ugly names down there..."

You're right: that's how the mad thumber must look like.

BTW, I finally watched the Belgium-France semi and I think the French played beautifuly.

The whole nation is praying for the final now.

I only got to What letter does Satan Start with, when I realized he would not remember to mention the letter Stupid starts with. Today has been such a disaster with trump running all over Europe taking a dump on everyone’s porch.....I am so disgusted......I just can’t finish this sentence.

My god. Imagine having this fellow as your next door neighbor. Which, now that I think about it, is the situation both Canada and Mexico face, of course.

So far, relatively little has come of Southgate's team, especially on the offensive.
[I'm just and only posting this response to prove that men can watch three different sports [besides world cup, Wimbledon and le tour] at the same time.]

Belgium takes the third place by scoring 2-0 against England in a big show of talent.

what time does tomorrow's game start?

19:00 West European time = 1 pm US eastern time, I think.

11:00am, according to google... the six hour gap sounds right...

You're right, my bad. It's at 5pm europe time, not 7.

CEST = Central European Summer Time (We've got BST [British Summer Time] and EEST [Eastern European Summer Time] in Europe as well )

Where's the eating crow emoticon?

Some. Real men. Like you. And me, I suppose, though I'm reluctant to get all braggish.

You have every right to be braggish, Bernie. You are a real man. Yes, you are.

Uh-oh, I just remembered something: I have not and have never been interested in spor -- Aieeee! Oh, horrors! I'm not a real man! If I'm not a real man, what am I?




I've been working with a personal trainer on a bodybuilding program for more than five years. Does that redeem me? (I certainly hope so!)

Speaking about real men... Jezebel, a site usually devoting a lot of attention to so-called "toxic masculinity", tilted its hat to world cup male tenderness yesterday.

We already knew that global football can be a good way to sublimate national rivalries, and deflect them away from violence and war between nations at least for a moment. Now maybe, just maybe, football could contribute to peace between the sexes? :-)

Hey Bill, you're ok by me and lots of others.

Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" was the French team's unofficial* anthem during the 1998 World Cup. It's been listened to in record numbers on YouTube since the start of the 2018 World Cup. (YOUTUBE)

* ie not chosen by the French Football Federation but by the players themselves, who listened to it in their locker room before every match. Once they won, les Bleus celebrated their world title with the song.

The singer remembers it and did not fail to congratulate the French football team after their victory on Tuesday against Belgium.

The title, which dates from 1978, was released on the B side of another single. Yet, it quickly invaded the dancefloors. It tells the story of a scorned woman who wants to fight back and survive.
