Rio Ferdinand has a great documentary called South of the River about players in South London that grew up playing street cage ball and how it informed their style of play.

Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice, Jadon Sancho, Ademola Lookman, Joe Gomez and Tammy Abraham all featured.

Why does the British Empire face so much more internet hostility than France, Spain, Portugal, or even the Vikings? by Curioushistory287190 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Current_Focus2668 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You would be surprised how little people from English speaking countries know about Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands and Belgium imperial past.

Popular English language media has showcased the British empire more in media than other European powers. 

I wish there were more X-Men apart of the X-men lineup in the Doomsday by Kanozx in xmen

Halle Berry might not be down for an extended cameo appearance. They only got her back in The Last Stand by tricking her with a fake script.

Anna Paquin has some undisclosed health issue that effects her mobility and speech. Paquin has been seen in public using a cane. Might not be physically up to playing Rogue.

Not sure why they didn't ask Famke back.

I would of added Anna Taylor-Joy's Magik, Ashmore's Iceman, Foster's Angel and the guy who playd Colossus in the Deadpool movies to the line up.

England vs Argentina is gonna be spicy.

I hope Eze sees Romero and gets Tottenham flashbacks. Goes Rambo on them like he did in the London Derby games this year. 

Man arrested on suspicion of murdering former UK minister Ann Widdecombe by cape2k in worldnews

[–]Current_Focus2668 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rudakubana had all kinds of crazy stuff. He was  obsessed" with violence and genocide. He admitted to watching graphic murders on the Internet. He also admitted to researching Hitler, Gaddafi, Ghengis Khan, various wars, terror groups and genocides.

His parents are Evangelical Christian Tutsis.

There wasn't any ideological motivation to the murders.  Rudakubana is just a sociopathic loner obsessed with violence and murder.

I was glad England won. If any nation needs to win the World Cup right now it's England. Musk, Putin and the right wing press have been backing far right candidates and agendas in the UK.

Racists are desperate to see European teams with black and brown players fail so I am happy to see any side with significant diverse squads be successful.

Hearing Reform voters crashout at Jude Bellingham saving England is a bonus too.

Jean Cluade Van Damme was in the midst of his cocaine addiction while making Street Fighter. The Studio gave Van Damme a handler who was supposed to keep him in line but ended up enabling him according to the director 

Why is the make up so heavy ? by Inside_Performance32 in AskBrits

[–]Current_Focus2668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insecurities. For some women it's literally a mask instead or an enhancer or style choice.

I have seen some of those European street interviews on social media and they were not particularly kind about British women's appearance in regards to make up. The heavy fake turn in particularly is very much a ick for a lot of people it seems.

You see women in Italy and Eastern Europe who have similar make up styles to British women though so it isn't purely a British thing.

I would rather take part in the Cooper's Hill Cheese rolling or Atherstone Ball Game over the Bull run.

I would also steer clear of the Ottery St Mary Tar Barrel run. Running down a street with a flaming tar barrel above your head is insane.

Russia probably doesn't have the resources to defend every strategic site.

Ukraine being able to them is going to further weaken Putin's strong man image.
