I am officially done with Ferrari International Assistance, Scuderia Ferrari, Scuderia Ferarri, AlphaTauri, Fabio Gross, Luca di Montezemolo, Luca di Grasi, Felipe Massa, Luca Badoer, Jean Todt, Michele Alboreto, Matija Vujica, every single incompetent soul over at Fleet Street, Ambrosini, Maranello, those number one and number two race cars, the entire roster of Italian legends, the Roman Empire itself, and this absolute circus of a sport that I’ve somehow been foolish enough to follow for thirty-three conscious years—and frankly, I’m probably too stubborn to even stop watching after this.
To movie is essentially just an action sequence stretched out to 110 minutes; if you aren't a fan of Greengrass's signature shaky cam and a soundtrack that hits harder than the actual plot points, then this definitely isn't for you. The chase scenes were actually quite impressive, especially considering the NYPD wouldn't let them push anything faster than 35 mph through the streets of New York City. A perfectly executed trilogy.👍
Adrian Newey stated quite bluntly that after spending 14 years at Ford, he knows exactly where all the bodies are buried. Either this whole circus will wrap up quickly with Ford handing him a massive severance package while shifting the blame onto McLaren and Honda—with a little assistance from that little Hitler's soldier over at NASCAR—or we are finally going to find out how many championships Michael Schumacher actually won.
The movie is a fantastic, low-key indie gem that doesn't try too hard. I'll just point out a couple of plot holes. 1. What was the deal with that Frenchman in Fabula 😁 2. Why is the FBI handing data over to Pacino when they're actually pulling the strings themselves???
And that episode set in Mexico? Honestly, one of the absolute highlights of the trilogy 🙏 🙏
I mean, we're world champions, so naturally, we have to go and talk about the Mexicans again. Honestly, who cares? It doesn't matter who they are. Hey 🙏 🙏 🙏
It’s honestly frustrating when those amateurish Formula 1 commentators treat NASCAR like a punchline without ever actually sitting down to watch a single race. It’s such a shame that ESPN isn't broadcasting NASCAR like they used to a few years back. I really miss those Sunday evenings where you actually had quality racing to look forward to, whether it was IndyCar or NASCAR; those were some truly great Sundays. But then again, Formula 1 is that first love you develop as a kid, long before you even knew IndyCar or NASCAR existed. Plus, it’s much more accessible; most fans can actually make it to a race in person. Meanwhile, Bernie Ecclestone and his inner circle couldn't care less about the fans—they’re on a fixed salary, so any issues regarding attendance fall entirely on the organizers. I worry we're stuck in this vicious cycle as long as places like Abu Dhabi, India, or Russia continue to fight for a spot on the calendar. As long as that happens, Formula 1 doesn't have to change its approach toward the fans or anything else, allowing them to keep imposing these somewhat idiotic rules and restrictions.
Roger Allen3 said:I wouldn't compare the Polish squad to our guys playing in Portugal 😉 because we haven't been blown out by a nine-point margin like that before.
I'm with you there; we haven't suffered losses nearly as bad as those against an American powerhouse like Argentina.😉 The only game where we weren't actually hanging in there was against Denmark; I was practically holding my breath during the matchup with Spain, but then Keta showed us how it's done.🤣
restlessridge10 said:In the other bracket, I suspect the Americans will cruise into the finals without much trouble; while I enjoy watching how Poland plays and they might just pull an upset, I don't think they have what it takes to compete at this stage against more seasoned squads.
That is exactly what people were saying about us four years ago.
Well, look, Vukić, what exactly are you aiming for here? Are you planning on joining Šprem’s crew up in the stands 🙂 Scoring two goals back-to-back isn't exactly following any kind of tactical plan 🙂
frozentiger6 said:There is absolutely nothing to worry about; everyone looks sharp, and they are playing with such effortless style. This isn't even a fraction of the struggle we faced back in Switzerland when Balic had to carry the entire team on his back. Back then, we scraped by against Dance and the Icelanders, only to completely collapse from exhaustion at the end.
The players are finally just hitting their stride.
I can't even begin to tell you how much your relentless optimism grates on my nerves.🙂 😁
I suspect if you looked at the odds offered by major American sportsbooks, they would probably provide some pretty decent value on a win for the underdog 🙏 🙏
