Can someone please tell me who's sitting at the top of the group right now? Also, what does the bracket look like for the next round?

Addicted to Guarana
in Health ·
Man, I’m totally hooked on Guarana, but I'm finally trying to kick the habit.... It used to be my ritual—every single time I stepped out the door, I'd grab a Guarana, and once I finished one, I'd just immediately crack another one open... I actually downed 6 or 7 in one sitting once. Not to mention I couldn't sleep for crap; I was absolutely buzzing with energy while the rest of the world was basically stumbling around half-asleep. 🤣
How much can you actually trust people online?

Just gotta trust your gut.

I’ve never been much of a fan when it comes to those Hollywood hooligan flicks
The football Factory is actually alright.
Green Street Hooligans is pure Hollywood trash.😉
Happy New Year 2008!!!!

Anyway, have you caught that "real football Factories" series?
Yeah, I did... guy made this killer documentary in England... hit up Scotland, Germany, Wales, even some places in the States... all solid stuff...
then he rolls into a rough part of Chicago and some idiot hooligans just pull out guns 😲 :rolleyes:

Grace Doyle said:There are plenty of Black fans within the American football hooligan scene—one guy was even a leader for West Ham United for years.
Green Street is fun, but it's about as realistic as Lord of the Rings, lol.
For movies in the same vein, you should watch "The Firm" starring Gary Oldman.
You're right, obviously there are... but not over at Millwall, which is an ultra-right-wing club where the fans are notorious specifically for their racist outbursts.
And the former West Ham leader is Cass Pennant....he's Black, which makes sense since Millwall and West Ham United are worlds apart.

nimblemarlin17 said:Yeah, but even the worst Hooligans out there actually watch the game, or at least catch it in a bar. These guys didn't mention a single match. Look, they wanted a pure fan movie, but they overshot it. To put it bluntly, they went so far left that they ended up coming out the right side. 🙄
The flick is about Hooligans and that whole "Casual" lifestyle.
Football doesn't even need to be mentioned... though there are a few bits, like when the main guy Tommy Johnson says "nobody loved Chelsea FC more than me and Rod."
The core of the movie is just the hooligan way of life... hanging in pubs, fighting before games... most of these guys are banned from stadiums in America... so everything happens "outside the gates."
Anyway... it’s my favorite movie on this subject, honestly, period.
Sure, a few scenes are totally unrealistic (that final brawl—a blackout fight with the Millwall crew!?!?) ...but whatever.

This is England—which is more about the skinhead scene.
thanks for all the input, guys 😉

I know people up in Seattle who dive into freezing water and then jump straight into a hot shower; they swear doing that a couple of times a week boosts your immunity, helps with gout, and gets the blood flowing better.
man, that’s literally what I do!!🙂
but now I'm low-key freaking out because I heard some crap about how ice baths can make you sterile... is that even real!?
Is taking cold showers actually healthy?
I’ve started doing this regularly lately—just wondering if there are any downsides I should watch out for...
Thanks
