Luka, next season.

With apologies to Højbjerg, I cried tears of joy watching this with my son. For the first time in his life...and for nearly half of mine...Scotland has qualified for the World Cup.

I knew the outcome and we were watching the replay, yet I still shed tears when the 4th went in. #YesSirICanBoogie

And, honestly, why aren't they also working out a cross-marketing deal with pro sports teams for iconic stadia?

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

I was kind of underwhelmed by the first ep, too.
Starting “The Revolutionary War” now and boy, this thing is choppy

By not starting micro and going macro like the makers usually do makes it hard to focus on the story

Happy with the talking heads thus far, at least

there's a big difference between "i'm going to give you equal voice within our political movement" and "I'm going to passively refrain from fighting with you and fight with someone else instead" that I feel like the discourse here is aggressively ignoring

I am steadily deliberating upon beginning the process of thinking about formulating thoughts for possibly writing my next Upstate Spurs post.

I hope I'm not being too impetuous.

VAR check: serious foul play. On-field decision upheld, goal kick to Bewcastle.
Border wars: a football match in 1599 between men of Bewcastle, England, and Armstrongs of Whithaugh, Scotland, was followed by ‘drynkyng hard’. Final score was two dead, 30 taken prisoner ‘and many sore hurt, especially John Whytfeild, whose bowells came out, but are sowed up againe’.

Dale Wasserman's stage play -

MICHAEL DOUGLAS later convinced his Father to let him produce the wonderful Film.

Debunking the myth that players mutinied ahead of Bilbao. The conservative style was a strategy hatched in February, and a common approach AP employed in big knockout games.

Interesting interview with Tom Barclay about his new book, Miracle in Bilbao.

I had to screenshot this as it's literally in the US Soccer "Safe Soccer" training and, sorry, I would not bother with the first threeof the four Cs. I would not feel the need to Create a space for this person to speak more about his world view. I'd proceed right to Criticize.

The OP was the passing map for our match with Villarreal, with the poster asking "What is this?"

This may well be the only time in my life I've made fetch happen so please don't take this away from me...

Xavi is the future.
One way to track Tottenham's quality in possession this season is to count the number of passes that Xavi Simons - Spurs' playmaking no.10 - is receiving in what I'm going to call "The Danger Zone"

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
