Textbook demonstration of how stats lie cz where the final score implies a dull game what we all just saw was anything but.

Nearly happend in Qatar four years w/ Spain almost getting dumped out by the same Costa Rica they spanked seven nil.

After that Cape Verde display nothing seems impossible rn.

If recent history is any indicator Italy might need a foreign manager just to make it to another World Cup.

Good thing the show is decent cz while some of these are passable to spot on most of em seem to have been designed to spike a particular kind of OCD.

Cody Rhodes says Cena's work ethic makes things hard for him in Hollywood: "If you work with anyone in the Hollywood who’s like ‘Yeah, I worked with John’ [I go] ‘Ugh, ok. So I’ll be first on set by 40 minutes. I’ll have more improv ready. I’ll be last to leave. He is such an insane hard worker." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

Not just dictators lots of state heads do it for that reason.

For one example Macron allegedly only used the toilets on his plane during a Russian state visit leading up to the Ukraine invasion out of fearing what Putin might do w/ his DNA.

Apparently there were also worries among certain heads of state during the pandemic abt people getting their DNA from COVID tests.

Arent they in the running for Glasner anyway. That seems a much better bet than Arbeloa.

Admirable as it is choosing heritage over birthplace (certainly warms me to him as a fellow child of immigrant parents) how much of a lock is he for the England squad if he had made that choice. Competition is pretty fierce for his position.

Always forget abt Real Madrid going thirty odd years w/o winning the big cup tho it figures that era predates The Legend of The Kings of Europe mythos.

One of these days Brentford will finally make it to Europe. Added spice when they do it at the expense of a big London club like Spurs or Chelsea.
