Nobody calls countries by their native name, although I'm not sure why. Country names, like most things, are translated. But person names are not. It is indeed a bit weird.
We are Amerikas förenta stater in Sweden.

Yeah, Lloyd was clearly offside and affected the play. Not sure what the call was in the end (watching on mute).

Ouch.

I really really really want to see Thailand win their match against Chile. 0-0 at halftime.

Chile still goalless against Thailand.

Aww, your little feelings are hurt.
My frame of reference is that my soccer mad brother is a Chelsea fan who has traveled to London and hung out with their real hometown lifelong fans numerous times. He and they cherish the league titles more.
But your foot stomping is cute. Don't get me wrong, I would really like a CL title. It would be pretty damn cool. But unlike you I know what cheering for a team who wins the PL feels like. You know, if we're discussing frames of reference.
Anyway, I think Liverpool wins it this year. And you'll go nuts celebrating and you'll enjoy it more than this year's CL title. You might not admit it now, but you will. -
Huh? Hand over heart for the anthem existed long before 9/11.
I still don't understand how the "Hand over your heart for the 'Pledge of Allegiance'" got transferred to the national anthem after 9/11.
It's like the country if filled with imbeciles who can't remember the things were done 2 weeks before.
Very "1984".-

edited to clarify - When y'all win the league and not the CL this year you're going to realize how silly you sounded when making those posts.

Nice to show your self jerk off sock - do you keep forgetting what account you are logged in on?
What is sickening is that you would hope that we lose Americans. I don't care if you agree with the war or not but to hope Iran would win is absolutely fucking shit. If you like them so much why don't you pack some fucking bags and move to Iran.
He's a shitty poster but he also didn't explicitly say he hopes Americans die. But since you're basing it on deaths, please explain to me why American military lives are inherently more valuable than Iranian lives (a non-zero number of which would be civilians). In your case a lot of it has to do with serving in the Armed Forces, knowing current military personnel, etc.
But from an objective perspective, why are American soldiers' lives more valuable than Iranian lives?
Stop and actually think about it. War fucking sucks. While Fozzz in particular is just a troll, I have a feeling that bad_teammate's perspective is based on that notion. And if we agree that war fucking sucks then it is not an inherently faulty position to hope that the defenders defeat invaders in any particular war as that is more likely to reduce the future number of wars.
Me personally, I hope nobody dies and the two little dick administrations stop being middle school dipshits.

I'll let anyone who is an attorney take over from here.... there are reasons LaVar could file a lawsuit against ESPN and other publications.
I could file a lawsuit against you for never inviting me to your house. What is your point?

Funny part about this is a good Lawyer could probably file a lawsuit against ESPN for LaVar over this... 😄
Explain to me how this lawsuit would work where you sue a private company because they have decided never to invite you back onto their premises.

Return of Freedom Fries? :crossesfingers::
What was the last war we fought to actually defend our freedom?
We are told constantly that soldiers are overseas defending our freedom but that's generally horseshit. Let's start with World War II as the basis, because while there is always someone who will argue otherwise, Japan and Germany viewed themselves as threats to our freedom and we were attacked on our home soil. Done and done, that was a war fought to protect our freedom (and really to protect the world).
So somebody explain to me which conflict we've been in since then that was actually fought to defend our freedom over here. Liberty and security are not the same thing. Fighting to protect our safety is not necessarily fighting to protect our freedom. If there is an enemy we've fought that actually had any chance at the capability to conquer us and institute a new government and/or imprison us then that's clearly a threat to our collective freedom.
Was the Bay of Pigs invasion viewed as necessary to defend our freedom? Obviously in retrospect not really, but was that the thinking at the time? I need some military history folks to educate me here.

Good luck proving that negative. I guess evidence that Boren was in another state would do. Other than that, ???
"As you can see from these detailed records, my client could not possibly have been harassing and assaulting the plaintiff on this date as he was elsewhere harassing and assaulting an entirely different young man at that time."

electability is a myth and policy-through-compromise is another
Agreed
glad to have you on board
Ha, I've always been on that train, sir. The fact that you and I differ on numerous principles doesn't mean we can't both recognize this problem.
As long as the people discussing politics have sincerely held beliefs and approach things from that perspective then the debate can be fruitful and even educational. As soon as the discussion veers off course into electability and political compromise for policy purposes it's gone from discussing social benefit and instead it's more about game theory and Go! Team! Go!

Yes, I agree that he was sitting there next to the jeweler watching him work on the necklace from start to finish. He definitely neglected to work on his basketball skills for the duration of production.

The pool of women's teams is way too shallow.
Something fucked up happened in the Asian qualifying that led to Thailand making it instead of North Korea (which would have been competitive). Thailand made the Women's World Cup by beating Palestine, Taiwan, Jordan and the Philippines.
The third CONCACAF bid should have gone to UEFA. Jamaica is horrid. The US and Canada had GDs of +24 and +23, respectively in their 4 CONCACAF qualifiers.
Weird draw.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_AFC_Women's_Asian_Cup_qualification
Had to win the group or be runners-up in Jordan's group (Jordan hosted the finals). North Korea was put in a separate pot because they were hosting the qualifying rounds and they got drawn with South Korea. Essentially North Korea missed a shot at the World Cup because they beat India 8-0 instead of 10-0 and Hong Kong 5-0 instead of 6-0.
I'm sure the North Koreans are one women's team who thought everyone whining about the USA's goal onslaught against Thailand should have shut the hell up.

Is it really "transferring" if you haven't been in the football program and you already graduated? I think that's called "going to grad school."

The Winter World Cup thing is stupid. There have been several Winter World Cups before. Last one was in 2010.

So I have to ask...because it's not said here. Did Tom call 911 when he saw this guy?
Because if he chose the picture over calling....well...I really hope that's not the case. If it is, fuck him.
lulz
I think firing at a federal courthouse accomplishes much more than calling 911 would when it comes to alerting law enforcement responders.

That's the one that really trips me out, if only because the official name of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
