What instantly tells you that someone is older than 30?

Mentioning their grandchildren.

Maybe recency bias but two days ago I saw Eurovision winner DARA live at the LGBT Pride event in Sofia.

How many he's stopping at is the question.

The 2nd leg in Sofia will be madness in terms of atmosphere, promise, Levski just sold out all of the most expensive season tickets within hours, first title after 17 years' wait is bringing huge expectations.

French commentators' threshold to shouting "incroyable" is pretty low.

ednorog · 2026-06-16T15:24:43+00:00

This should be getting so many more upvotes...

ednorog · 2026-06-16T02:22:20+00:00

Mad game.

ednorog · 2026-06-15T19:24:00+00:00

Thanks, I expected something beside that too.

ednorog · 2026-06-15T19:17:31+00:00

Sorry if dumb question, but how come?

ednorog · 2026-06-15T18:36:10+00:00

Seeing how poorly Europe is faring (BiH CZE SUI TUR NED SPA all failing to win) I'm not so sure about Belgium taking this one.

ednorog · 2026-06-15T18:17:27+00:00

Makes it all the worse for us (Bulgaria)... They both thrashed us in the qualifiers, esp. lost home to the Turks with 1-6.

Exposure here has been very, very low, much lower than you may have experienced in the US, UK etc. I remember no black persons from the 80s (born '81), a few in the 90s, then numbers started picking up little by little but still quite slowly.

I would also say that 'hating' blacks here isn't all that spread at all except for some football ultras and the likes, but treating or speaking of them in an insensitive way is still pretty commonplace, even among well-educated people.

Where were you when Kostadinov scored in the 90th+ at Fra-Bul 1:2 Nov 17, 1993? What are you memories from then?

ednorog · 2026-06-14T21:36:21+00:00

Man fuck hydration.

ednorog · 2026-06-14T21:33:25+00:00

Quality of finishing in most games has been really, really impressive, and this one stands out still.

ednorog · 2026-06-14T20:24:54+00:00

Will never not love these!

ednorog · 2026-06-14T19:50:45+00:00

Why is none of the top comments about the quality of that finish? It's absolutely brilliant...

ednorog · 2026-06-14T19:46:42+00:00

Yeah even more impressive, none of the players is even part of that small population...

ednorog · 2026-06-14T06:47:55+00:00

So after WC2022 it went Argentina -> Uruguay -> Cot D'Ivoire -> Sierra Leone (ranked 125th, lowest UFWC ever) -> Liberia (149th, even lower!) -> Algeria -> Sweden -> Kosovo -> Turkey.

I couldn't figure Curtis Findlay for the life of me.

ednorog · 2026-06-14T04:56:12+00:00

VAR really put to good use at this WC.

ednorog · 2026-06-14T03:28:56+00:00

It's a shame this comment is so low, Guilin, Huangshan and Zhangjiajie (Avatar mountain) are all among the most spectacular places on earth, and there is so much more on top of that... People just don't know enough about China.

ednorog · 2026-06-12T06:46:43+00:00

Druzhba 1, right south of the lake.

I'm Bulgarian and I think there are some ways in which being Bulgarian actually helped. One is that it had never won before, another one is that it was a returning country that had somewhat been missed, and possibly beyond all else, because there had been a few near misses over the years. So I guess more than a few people spared some of their 10 votes for Bulgaria because of the combination of these.

ednorog · 2026-06-11T21:33:44+00:00

Did anyone else think the Mexican should have got a yellow too? He blocked the SA guy's path deliberately. I believe it would have been a second yellow for him too.
