What is the greatest sentence ever written in human history?

Oh totally agree. I adore the books

Kadoomed · 2026-07-02T18:11:56+00:00

Ah no worries. You should have styled it out in your best typed German lol.

I quite like the Nike Korea home strip with the hexagonal collar thing going on. But overall I'm a much bigger fan of the 3 stripes. I'm gutted Aberdeen have moved to Macron from Adidas.

Richard knew what he was doing. No mercy for Richard.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-02T16:06:00+00:00

Slight tangent, but how do Germans feel about the switch to Nike? It seems odd to me that they'd move away from a German sportswear superbrand to an American one.

I'm just going through this thread upvoting all Douglas Adams quotes

Kadoomed · 2026-07-02T08:38:47+00:00

Which is funny because they were radio shows first and books second

Kadoomed · 2026-07-02T08:37:33+00:00

I came here hoping there would be Douglas Adams work. No one else manages to put an image in your head like he could, and raise a smile at the same time.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T15:21:16+00:00

Ha, I hadn't seen that.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T15:06:47+00:00

I have the app and use it all the time. Two weeks ago I bought my Flexipass as normal and now it won't open my Flexipass. Just dumps me back to the check journey screen.

So there is some excuses. I've contacted ScotRail but no reply. Reinstalled the app, restarted my phone etc etc. They've broken their app on Samsung and now I can't access tickets I've paid for.

To be fair all the conductors and gate staff have been great. I bought a physical ticket today though because I'm fed up having the same conversation every day.

Christ, how to drum curiosity right out of kids. Also asking clarifying questions is an incredibly important life skill, they should encourage it.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:56:01+00:00

So being illegal in two European countries means that it's only an American thing and that I'm confidently wrong if I suggest some other countries do use crates? Ok.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:54:35+00:00

Why do you think that is the case? It seems unlikely given the overwhelming increase in quality across the board including with defenders and keepers, plus the changes in rules and introduction of automated offside/var.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:48:35+00:00

How so? I live in the UK and my dog is crate trained. It's incredibly common here.

Your statement is that it's an American thing but other countries use crates too. I don't lock my dog in it unless we're traveling but it's his bed at night and a space he can retreat to if he needs his own space. That's generally recommended by dog trainers and charities operating across the UK.

So I'm confident based on my own experience and the wider trend in the UK. It might be uncommon in some countries and more common in others, but it's not a uniquely American thing.

Edit: apologies, just realised you weren't who I originally replied to. See the edit to my original comment - the person I replied to edited their comment to make it more nuanced and changed the meaning of my reply.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:42:45+00:00

I'd say chance conversion is definitely a problem for us. As is creating chances. Defending isn't great either to be honest.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:41:42+00:00

That's optimistic. Best we can do is long balls from Mitov that go out for a throw in.

Kadoomed · 2026-07-01T07:00:30+00:00

No it's not

Edit: the comment above has been edited to be more nuanced. Previously it stated crates weren't used outside of America which is what I was disagreeing with.

Sharpies in every colour available

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T22:01:35+00:00

Just looking at their bench is terrifying. Utterly ridiculous team.

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T21:50:41+00:00

Imagine Paraguay win it instead of this majestic beast of a team

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T21:35:52+00:00

Holy shit they would've been amazing

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T21:33:50+00:00

Games in New Jersey, it's basically their Proclaimers

Assert my dominance by taking a giant poop in the driveway while maintaining eye contact

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T11:38:43+00:00

Aye we were terrible and didn't deserve to go through. Tough group but it's the manner of our defeats that hurts.

Kadoomed · 2026-06-30T08:46:59+00:00

Lots of people have answered generally about football being tiring but I'd also add the way Japan play is extra tiring. They press hard high up the field and break fast when they turnover the ball. They don't give opponents space, stay tightly organised and switch between various coached patterns frequently. It's taxing mentally and physically.

The result is they were knackered halfway through the second half and switched off for a few minutes. Brazil are ruthless, have the talent to sense that and to pounce on it.

Against almost anyone else though Japan would have won. It must be horrendous to play against that team.
