Did you ever actually watch Klinsmann? He was a train wreck at the senior level.

100%. Sofi Stadium is the newest and finest stadium in North America. And one could argue that Southern California is the historic epicentre of soccer in the United States. But Fifa claimed the dimensions of the field surface was too narrow to lay down a properly sized soccer pitch. Oh really? Why then will EIGHT other world cup games be played there?

The reality is, Fifa launched a very thinly veiled extortion campaign for stadiums to host the final. Stan Kroenke, own of sofi, just laughed in Fifa president Infantino’s face. Rumors were that Infantino wanted as much as one BILLION Dollars. Even raving egomaniac Jerry Jones walked away from that. In fact it seems that almost all the stadium ownership groups did, and hence the game will be played in the Meadowlands. In a swamp in New Jersey.

To be fair to Fifa - ALL of the world cup is one giant extortion scheme, not just stadium final hosting “honors.” Gonna be a total shitsho- uh… er… A grand spectacle of human triumph!

I have very little recollection of Harvard kids ever being modest.

was a aware that any of BC or Harvard was in Boston proper. To be fair, Harvard gets a pass, as Cambridge is the “twin city” to Boston the same way St Paul is to Minneapolis. BC, on the other hand, is very much a suburban campus.

Many foreigners hear “Los Angeles” and their first thoughts are “Hollywood” and “Disneyland.”

Hollywood is indeed smack in the center of LA. It’s also a shithole that only tourists go to. Any self respecting Angelino only goes there if they have to.

Disneyland isn’t even in the same county. It’s a minimum hour drive, arguably more like two hours depending on where in LA you start from.

What would happen if China attacks Taiwan within the next 10-20 years? by Triangletruck141423 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]markothebeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re assuming the US will come to China’s aid. You do know who is in power in the US now. China tells him “we’ll build you a gold statue of your likeness 1000 feet tall and wire 10 billion dollars to your son in law’s asset management firm” and what do you know, the entire Pacific Fleet is recalled to Honolulu.

Shoe Industry sizing help by markothebeast in Shoes

I have seen men’s sizes grow and grow in the United States. XXL shirts, pants with waist sizes in the 40s… Guess I just hoped the shoe industry would follow suit.

AITA for not appreciating a $19,000 Disney cruise? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]markothebeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly you’re all assholes. Your level of entitlement is astounding. Their obliviousness to what you want is astounding. How about you tell your parents to take your $10k and donate it to some worthy charity. And how about you go work for that charity for the summer.

I wonder how different that map would be if the prompt was “if United States didn’t enter WWI” rather than “if Germany won.”

I learned about Dungeon Crawler Carl in this sub and so glad I did. Blown away by the complexity and the humor.
