Why isn't Karačić playing? Is it an injury, some flu, or what?

Way to go on the bronze!
Honestly, I haven't felt this optimistic about a major tournament since back in '03. 😁 If the Americans can pull off a win now, it'll definitely smooth out the road toward the UN Games.

R. I. P. Lemmy Kilmister...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Just dig into the wound and then be a pal and pour some salt on it once you're done scavenging.
My wife just reminded me that the last time we actually showed up at the polls, we voted for that absolute clown. 🙈 🐔
Jebaj it. We don't follow politics, we couldn't care less about the economy, and we pretend we don't care about things like identity politics, religious education in schools, Auschwitz, or Bleiburg... but man, it is so easy to fall for those sweet, sugary fairy tales.

It is what it is. We’ve got Tihomir on board, and honestly, all we need now is Zvonimir to make this whole thing a complete circus.
Regardless, I hope the new administration manages to pull off a decent four years. Though, if I'm being real, I don't see much chance for any actual, heavy-duty reform under this version of the Republican Party—especially when it comes to fixing local government, the judicial system, or education. My fear is that the Libertarian Party will just get chewed up and swallowed whole, leaving them totally irrelevant even in their own backyard by the next local election cycle.

Personally, I’m sitting this one out too. I won't be heading to the polls for the next 10 or 15 years. It’s pretty obvious there’s never going to be a "third way" here in America, so why bother wasting the effort?...

I think Matthew Anderson4 is being dead serious here. This isn't some wild, far-fetched theory. I’m standing right behind him on this one.

Yeah, well, tell that to my Aunt Elsa... she just gave me a little wave and kept walking.

Samuel Lopez9 said:hell no, Adam King6 and I showed up and saw absolutely nothing...

Well, nothing was really expected. Your girl wouldn't take her eyes off you, and honestly, I looked like a mess.

Amanda Evans2 said:So, how was Prosa's birthday?

It’ll be the usual scene...

0-0-2, 0-0-2 😒

Here’s something for everyone who loves—or absolutely hates—Dežulović...

Is there a dedicated thread for this mini-soccer tournament kicking off today in California?
SN says they’re broadcasting on Sports TV tonight at 8:00 PM, USA vs. Lithuania...

Jessica Gonzalez said:I wonder if they could just take buses over to Canada instead? There's that small crossing near Bregana where the booths are usually pretty much empty.

I don't know how many times you've driven through there. Of course always someone is sitting in those booths, on both our side and the Canadian side. Not to mention that when cops see certain plates, they usually just wave you through. But lately, things have been tight everywhere.

Could you actually name a country with more redheads? 🤮

Eat dirt☕I'm a redhead🤣. I mean, I'm not really that islander type with the bright eyes, freckles, and bright orange hair, though.

God, then what on earth do you actually look like?
😉

The thing is, we’re one of the most scattered peoples on the planet. You can find us everywhere—from the US and Canada all the way down to Argentina and Australia, or even just working as expats in Germany and other parts of Europe because people had to chase a paycheck during the communist era. Almost everyone I know has a close relative living somewhere abroad.
We really don't have any moral high ground to lecture anyone about staying put in their own corner of the world—whether it's some rocky wasteland, a desert, or a jungle—just because they don't fit into our specific idea of civilization or mindset.

Matthew Anderson4 said:Anyone here actually delusional enough to think just because they happened to be born in some random spot deserves a decent life more than some guy from Syria or Gambia? Any of you small, ugly, spoiled brats around here? Just incredibly arrogant, twisted, and dim?

Way to go, Matthew Anderson4. 🙏

Heading out to the woods before things get real, because once the hunt starts, there's no turning back.

Headline 🤣

🤣 All we need now is a monolith 🤦

ruggedjackal46 said:You probably think you're seeing some old guy with a white beard just because you were binge-watching Lord of the Rings while having an Odyssey playing in the background.

A monkey who took a hit to the face is out here dreaming about wearing a white jersey.

brightpilot6 said:If Kubrick were directing an Odyssey today, would he even bother with a costume design phase? Wouldn't the monkeys simply start the film clad in red and blue jerseys, only to transform into pure white once that monolith finally makes its appearance?

ruggedjackal46 said:The Monolith is a higher principle—it’s the very essence of what makes football great, the driving force that elevates the game and fuels Barcelona's rise. Of course, a die-hard Real Madrid fan wouldn't be able to wrap their head around a concept that massive; to them, it probably just looks like some bearded old man, likely a fascist clutching a rifle.

brightpilot6 said:It’s probably a good thing Kubrick wasn't around to film Barcelona's trophy run; I imagine we would have been subjected to hours of agonizingly slow shots of clock hands spinning, eventually culminating in some rococo parlor where Tom Henning Ovrebo spends an eternity atoning for his sins.

🤣
Look, those political types—all those partisans and old-guard extremists—they don't give a damn about you. Honestly, they wouldn't even touch an SF classic just to score some cheap points in an internal argument. They've got much bigger fish to fry.
