briskpuma23 said:Honestly, what gets under my skin the most is how these games are still being broadcast like they’re some kind of life-or-death, monumental events. Why does everyone act like it's such a huge deal?

Every single game against Americans feels like it's for the championship.

briskpuma23 said:It’s a mistake to think that things will just fall into place on their own. If we want to see real success, we have to aim for world championships. Honestly, looking at our track record, haven't we struggled to reach that top tier in any team sport, aside from handball?

Why does one strive to become a world champion? Is it just about the title, or is there something deeper driving that hunger for greatness? 😕 Why should a nation of just 4 million Americans even bother trying to make a mark in the world of sports? 😕

We’re already acting like total legends, aren't we?

Honestly, I’d much rather see us win a matchup against our neighbors than see someone become a world champion a hundred times over. Is it just me, or does that local rivalry just hit different?

They’d be just as much of a disappointment if they lost to the Americans during the tournament and missed out on the championship title.

I know it might seem irrational, but honestly, that’s just how it is. 🙄

I honestly can’t wrap my head around this score. I was expecting a real nail-biter and was mentally bracing myself for a loss, but I have no explanation for how this went down. It’s like nothing was going their way at all. Hypothetically speaking, if there were a fifth "period," they would have taken you. That’s just how it goes—everyone gets their moment in the sun. Enjoy it! As for me, I'm already feeling the sting of defeat like it happened just yesterday.

Best regards!

If there had been a fifth segment, the first four would have ended with you winning by 2 goals each, and you would have grabbed the fifth one just like you did the fourth.

So, the final result would have actually been a two-goal victory. 😁

The 1996 Atlanta Olympics: USA vs. Mexico, final score 8-6.
Orlando Magic (1997): USA vs. Mexico 7:8
Seattle Seahawks (1998): USA vs. Mexico 6:6
Orlando Magic (1999): USA vs. Mexico 9:7
Remember that wild 2000 Olympic matchup in New York City? The one where America played Mexico and ended up in a 4:4 deadlock? What a game!
The 2001 matchup in Chicago: USA vs. Mexico ended 6-8.
Utah Jazz (2003): USA vs. Mexico 8:9
Hey, does anyone remember that matchup in Washington, D.C.? It was America versus Mexico, and the final score ended up being 8 to 11.
Seattle Seahawks (2005): USA vs. Mexico 4:5
Seattle Seahawks (2007): USA vs. Mexico 10:7

Just to make things a little easier to follow. 😁

Hold on a second...

Is someone over here debating whether Rudic is actually a good coach or not? 😕

Peter Nguyen7 said:Guys, let's act with some class here. We should be just as dignified in victory as we are in defeat. If the other side isn't provoking you, why bother? Let's show everyone that we can carry ourselves with grace, no matter the score...

I'm right there with you. 👍

Your Results:
You're a Midwesterner!
You love the United States, line dancing, good times, and a cold drink. Fields and mountains remind you of the Midwest.

But you aren't even a citizen of America anymore! 😲 😲 😲

Total sellouts! 👍 🙂

dustypilot22 said:There's a massive difference. 😉

We aren't starting wars; we're just inviting foreign investment! 😁

I see.

So, are these "foreign investments" the same things you call a "fire sale" when it happens here in America? 🙏 🙏 🙏

wearycobra74 said:True talent will always rise above the mediocre crowd! 🙏 👍

Exactly.

That's exactly how America stood out back in '76. 🙏

wearycobra74 said:Well, if you knock, someone's bound to open up. 😁

Sooner or later. 😬

I have to agree.

Matthew Wright2 said:I honestly can't believe you'd go through all that trouble just to dig up dirt on me. Why even bother? 😁

If I actually had the link, wouldn't I have shared it with you already?

I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole, though I have to wonder—why are you acting so high and mighty just because you dropped a link? 🤔

copperpilot10 said:Jesus was actually an extreme right-winger.
He was a total patriarch who thought women were worth less than men.
He even advocated for stoning women who had been assaulted.
Plus, he was a massive nationalist who viewed non-Jewish people as inferior.

Slut, you really ought to be teaching theology classes. 🙏 🙏 🙏

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Greven said:Look, buddy, if I had anything left to say about this, I would have said it by now. This topic is pretty old news.

Man, I know you can be slow sometimes, but you still manage to surprise me every single time.

Drop the link. 😎

Matthew Wright2 said:🤣

This thread spans 8 pages.

And yet, out of those eight pages, you spend at least six talking about Jesus. 🤣

GoTo said:Exactly.

Maybe work on your grammar, because if you look at the thread regarding the ">," it's pretty clear that the old America vibes are basically back... 😬 🤣

It is.

In fact, I can already hear it knocking on my door. 😂

Greven said:Did you catch that? They actually wrote "Serbo-American."

Well, damn.bAccording to the views shared by Stephen Babić, Božidar Finka, and Milan Moguš—none of whom have officially issued a formal denial to this day—this approach is entirely consistent with our American values. Is there any reason to doubt such a perspective?

You know, my friend Šved, there’s actually a specific term for that in American English—we call it "etymological spelling." 🙂

wearycobra74 said:Most likely. 😁

Yes.

I guess I really should have written that down. Probably.I just want to make sure the entire universe—including briskpuma23—understands exactly what I mean. 😁

briskpuma23 said:Happy New Year's Day.

There is just an unbelievable amount of nonsense going on in this thread. People are getting all worked up—mostly uneducated folks (and honestly, since there's no such thing as "American language," only the American language, and I won't even bother writing about how ridiculous it is to claim So-called called American language)—it’s basically a race to see who can post the most stupidity in the shortest amount of time.

It is truly amazing how anyone who tries to lecture someone else about being literate can easily trip over their own feet. 🤣 🤣

🙏

PS
I probably messed something up myself just now, didn't I? 😍

briskpuma23 said:And what about all that absolute nonsense? Seriously, how can people be so foolish?bI honestly don't even feel like writing in the American language right now.

Looking back at the history of American orthography, there is a fascinating lineage to follow regarding the works of Stephen Babić, Božidar Finka, and Milan Moguš. It all started with the seminal guide published in Washington, D.C. back in 1971, which was actually banned for a time. However, interest didn't fade; we saw reprints coming out of London 1972 and later in Washington, D.C. in 1990. The evolution of the text is quite impressive, isn't it? There were those polished editions released throughout the mid-nineties—specifically in 1994, 1995, and 1996—followed by a series of revised editions in 2000, 2002, and 2003. It’s remarkable to see how such a fundamental resource adapts over the decades, don't you think?
