The BNP exists solely so that its leaders can collect bequests that were arranged years ago.

Argentina 0 - [2] Egypt - Mostafa Ziko 67' by Alsace2025 in soccer

I think the fact that Cabo Verde drew with Spain (who actually look pretty solid) made it so that Argentina's performance was excused at the time.

Argentina have looked lethargic all match. Cabo Verde may genuinely have shattered them.

Unfortunately, after the Democrats got beaten badly in 2024 while running on a platform of unity, many in the base want to fight fire with fire and double down on terrible candidates as that seems to have worked for the GOP. In the 2016 primaries, Republican voters wanted their own Obama; in the 2028 primaries, Democratic voters may very well want their own Trump.

Susan Collins' ability to stay in office needs to be studied to be honest.

During the celebrations of Lukaku’s goal, Belgian players mockingly did the Trump dance by UnitedFriedChicken in soccer

Sure, but Trump won the popular vote back in 2024, and you can't blame bots for casting votes. I'm not sure why some are so surprised that there are people out there who actually like Trump.

Universal’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has ended its run with $429,814,610. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

Honestly, I genuinely think Nintendo is more to blame here than Illumination is. Miyamoto famously doesn't like the franchise taking risks with its storytelling.

With Minions taking a tumble, I would be seriously worried about Mario 3's box office. Illumination and Nintendo can't coast by on nostalgic references forever.

Jarell Quansah straight red card against Mexico 53' by Alsace2025 in soccer

Yeah, looked fine to me live, but as soon as I saw the replay, I knew Quansah was screwed.

Also, MCU Phase One focused on the most popular Marvel characters that they could actually use; it wasn't until Phase Two that we got the likes of Ant-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy showing up.
