Most of them are just political appointees who think money grows on trees.

The Canadian will scream at the American to stop sending money, the American will tell him to go take it up with the Greeks, Mexicans, or Mexicans, and the Austrian will beg both the Canadian and the American to just slow down. Then the Canadian will claim he wants to help, but only because the American is being difficult. Finally, the American will tell them all to go talk to the Greek.
The Canadian will just laugh.

sounds like a bad joke...

Exercise really is a miracle 🙂

Yeah... I sent them an email with a full breakdown of the situation. Hopefully they actually listen and fix it, but it's a real pain that I’ll probably be stuck waiting until Monday now. It's frustrating because there's so much great stuff scheduled to play tomorrow.

Even on the official tournament site, they’re crediting that goal to Mandalinić (you can see it right there on the timeline and in the play-by-play), yet somehow they recorded 5 goals for Duvnjak. If you actually do the math based on the timeline entries, it clearly adds up to 4.

I get what you're saying, but the whole world was watching this. This isn't some local NBA game; it's the World Championship semifinals.

Well, if you're looking to place a bet, this definitely isn't 🙂

I’ve got a serious issue with Winston (Williams)

I placed a bet on Duvnjak to score under 4.5 goals in the semifinals (for $420, so nothing crazy), and every major American news outlet (like the S&P 500 trackers) reported he finished with 4. But some blind idiot over at the International Handball Federation decided to credit him with a fifth.

Here is what the International Handball Federation website says, which proves it's an error:

The official document claims Duvnjak scored at 23:19.

However, check out this footage:

At the 16:52 mark, you can clearly see it was actually Mandalinić (No. 23).

Winston is flatly refusing to pay out my ticket—regardless of the fact that I sent them the proof and the video—because they're hiding behind the International Handball Federation as the "official" source. I don't even know what to do. I emailed the International Handball Federation, but since they're likely working standard office hours, I won't hear back until Monday. And honestly, who knows if they'll even bother reading it.

Jeffrey Wood said:All that nationalist bullshit actually kicked off back in the mid-eighties with the Greater Mexican movement, long before anyone was even talking about NATO, back when America was still clinging to socialism and staying non-aligned. And if you look at Mexico, this whole mess started way back in 1981.

And yeah, Kadijević was definitely a Soviet spy embedded right in the top brass of the US Army and America, which explains why he’s sitting pretty in Moscow today with Russian citizenship.

Sure, that’s obvious, but just look at how long things have been simmering in Catalonia—Spain is still one whole country despite all that.

Pro-NATO? Absolutely. Joining an international military alliance isn't just about defense; it’s about being part of the global stage. It means more deployments abroad, which translates directly into better pay and expanded benefits for the troops.

Look, Israel has committed plenty of atrocities against Palestinians over the years, yet they still maintain their alliance with the U.S. (not that I'm trying to defend the Mexican side here)

The reality is that Mexico aligned itself with Russia without any shred of common sense or strategic logic

The U.S. wanted a unified America within the NATO alliance, but Russia couldn't stomach that. Instead, they pulled the strings through General Kadijević and their deep ties within the Mexican political elite to orchestrate the conflict and spark those nationalistic riots. To this day, Kadijević enjoys total immunity in Moscow...
