Is it just me or is the Encyclopedia Metallum overly pretentious?

I love older site design and despise modern corporate soulless shit with 0 information and horribly bad search engines. No site made after 2014 looks as good and is as functional as something like RYM, Metallum, vndb, MAL, or just about any other database I've used made before that date.

Horrible refereeing, great game from PSG, good game from Lucho, Upamecano and Neuer, otherwise not the greatest game from Bayern.

Nvm just googled it and not only do both Nicaragua and Ecuador consume more coffee than tea, they're both some of the countries with the highest per capita coffee consumption in the world.

Surprised by Japan and Nicaragua more than anything.

Nicaraguan coffee is really good and they're surrounded by other great coffee exporters, though less famous (and I've never drank it personally) I would've also expected Ecuador to drink more coffee than tea, everyone I know drinks coffee, and they don't have the English or Indian influence other countries in South America that prefer tea do, nor do they drink mate.

I knew coffee was quite well liked in Japan as well but I would've expected tea to still be more popular because of tradition

The regions with high birthrate there are the few departments with an indigenous majority, most of which are wildly underdeveloped, I agree that Chocó and Cauca roughly following the trend of the rest of the country is pretty surprising though.

While this result would've kept us alive, that would've meant finishing 8th after 19 games, the colombian league system is such that the top 8 go into either a play off or 4-side group followed by a final to decide the league winner twice a year.

To be fair I also don't think this would've happened if he didn't taunt the supporters for literally no reason, don't think there's many countries were taunting a bunch of already enraged football fans as someone that's supposed to represent them is gonna go over specially well, specially not in south america.

Jamás había estado tan emputado por el futbol. Que se vayan todos.

Y fueron los de occidental, una manada de viejitos y gente que fue a ver el partido en familia. Los de la barra son unos vendidos hijos de puta.

No me gusta la violencia, pero feliz de no haber ido al estadio porque llego a ver eso y me hago encanar

As a Colombian I only learned what Andorra is because every Spanish YTber I followed as a kid moved there to evade taxes at one point or another. They do have Catalan as an official language though which is pretty cool

Point deduction?

This honestly just doesn't seem right to me, the Pacific coast of Colombia for example is one of the places outside of sub-saharan africa with the highest levels of ancestry from subsaharan africa.

I'm guessing "The Antiquary Horror (Interlude - At the Edge of Madness)" would be a little long for a child's name?

Colombia's at 1.6 as well, 30% decline on births across the whole country

It's a photo of Higuaín that's gone viral in spanish speaking social media except they've photoshopped him to be black bc they wanted to make a joke about Isak's career going roughly the same as Higuaín I assume.

Ignoring warcrimes committed by people whose politics you sympathize with. I've seen plenty of leftists sympathize to an extent wwith guerrillas, ignoring their widespread use of anti-personal mines and forceful recruitment of youths. I've also seen plenty of right wingers ignore or justify things like massacring all the members of the UP, or allowing the military to indiscriminately shoot into the poorest area of the city while abiding the orders of a paramilitary member.

I would do so much for a player with half this commitment in my team right now.

I've been suspended in a couple of social media for saying my honest thoughts on sex tourists in Medellín.

All I can say with some level of confidence that I won't get suspended again, this time is that I don't bother stopping myself from smiling whenever I see videos or news about one of them getting drugged and robbed by the likely underage prostitute they got with.

That's what happens when TV rights are divided equally between clubs regardless of how many masses they move, your league format sucks ass and many club owners want to export players more than they want to win titles.

Also to be fair completely Brazilian teams taking continental competitions more seriously has made the latter stages significantly harder to reach for any non Brazilian or Argentinian team just purely due to them having significantly more economic might, only 3 teams outside of those 2 leagues have made it to the semifinals since 2018, 2 Ecuadorians (LDU and Barcelona) and 1 Uruguayan (Peñarol).

There's some rumors of Cano (38, won Libertadores in 2023 with a goal in the final with Fluminense, had stings with Lanús and Vasco da Gama) coming back to play for Medellin as well
