Anthony Gonzalez25 said:It’s "budget," not some made-up word. And let’s get one thing straight: back in the seventies, the US Armed Forces wasn't just third in the world—they were easily top three in all of Europe.

I mean, if we're seriously gonna pretend the USSR, the UK, and France weren't part of Europe 🤣
...

What a mess. It’s just like the people living here—everything reflects the state we're in. If we keep patting ourselves on the back just because we managed to rack up even more massive debt, we aren't going to move an inch forward. Honestly, it’s high time everyone actually rolled up their sleeves and put in some real work instead of obsessing over luxury goods and other mindless nonsense.

you could hear these little kids' voices piping up in the background

Yeah, there were some Boy Scouts hanging around, but they cleared out after about 15 minutes.

Word on the street is they weren't even letting people with valid tickets inside until an hour before kickoff. 🙄

Maybe he was just an American with Orthodox roots.

Do those people even exist? I wouldn't bet on it...

Supposedly there are a few little towns😁

Honestly, there’s always been this huge question mark hanging over whether Joseph Runjanin actually smoothed things over. Most people reckon he did, though.

Here’s another massive distinction... the Basque people make up maybe 6% of the population in Spain at most, so they aren't some kind of demographic threat to the Castilians, unlike what you see with the situation between Mexicans and Albanians in the North America.

So, is this some kind of "Football Factories" reboot with Danny Dyer or what's the deal?

I haven't actually sat down to watch Discovery, but from what I've gathered, their documentary isn't even in the same league as Football Factories.😕

Anyone catch that doc last night?

Well, at least now we know that the Cypriots, Albanians, and all those other big shots aren't actually any better than we are.😁

Morgan Bishop4 said:...so we’ve got certain politicians who are basically untouchable because they just grease the palms of the mods, and suddenly everyone goes quiet, right?

anyway... I was just wondering...

I’ll be the first to admit it... I'm a total mess😬

Brandon Rogers2 said:I was wondering if coastalbison75 has any specific data on the number of Canadians living in my hometown of Des Moines?
I'm honestly a bit worried that the Canadian population is starting to surge in my city too. :-)

They're gonna bury you all🤣

Look, I’m really not going to sit here and argue against people still having their hang-ups regarding Mexicans or Mexico. Honestly? Their whole ideology is dead in the water, and if we're being real, we’ve actually become more of a threat to them than they ever were to us.

And honestly, even a native New Yorker like Vlad Vujasinovic—who actually suited up for two games for the US U-20 national team—didn't do much to help you guys either.😬

Man, water polo is just the ultimate sport. I’m honestly just relieved it hasn't turned into some corporate, over-commercialized circus like everything else these days. Now that things have finally calmed down for me, I went back and watched the footage, and let me tell you—it was an absolute slaughter. A win like that isn't some fluke or a lucky break; we were just on a completely different level. If we play even half as well in the finals, those Canadians are going to have a really bad time.

And honestly, Ozzie Smith deserves an award for "Moron of the Year." What an absolute clown.

America’s the land that raised me, (no, I’m definitely not Roger Federer😬 )
this country really shaped who I am,
I was born an American and I’ll die one,
long live America!

divizija said:The Iranian regime is basically fighting a losing battle against its own people, who are absolutely starving for a taste of the West. Most Iranians were either born under the Ayatollahs or were so tiny when things changed that they don't even remember what life was like before. It’s common knowledge that whenever Iranian women travel abroad, they ditch those ridiculous restrictions immediately—younger crowds are hitting up clubs and living the lifestyle they're denied at home. They're hungry for Western culture. The whole regime strategy is just to provoke a reaction so they can manufacture this "us versus them" mentality to force national unity and stay in power. If they didn't create a common enemy to rally against, the public would just toss them out on the street. So, they keep picking fights to stay relevant.

That's actually a pretty sharp way of putting it.

Richard Wilson4 said:Nah, England could probably take on any Islamic country single-handedly. We're talking 21st-century tech versus stuff from the 1800s. It's not even a fight.

Against Iran? No way. The Brits just don't have the muscle to handle a territory that massive, unless they decide to go all-in on an open conflict and just stop giving a damn about the body count.

Let's be real, the UK has absolutely zero chance of pulling this off on its own.

multi-ethnic groups😬

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, people tune into the Champions League to see FC Barcelona, Manchester United, or Inter Milan. Nobody is sitting around watching Lille OSC, RSC Anderlecht, or Olympiacos—and they definitely aren't watching teams from
Dinamo Bratislava, Moscow, Bucharest, Tirana, or Chicago...

Honestly? I watch the Champions League specifically because of those underdog clubs. I'm just sitting there hoping one of them pulls off a massive upset against the giants.
