They really give it some serious thought don’t they?

That German song Major Tom (…völlig losgelöst) has been in my head the last 12 hours, I have practically learned it off by heart and keep singing it (out of tune) every time I hear it.
My housemate and her brother are looking at me as if I am from out of space.
Help! :sob: :see_no_evil_monkey: :joy:

It’s not just cones. It’s specified in Scottish folklore that all statues must have accompanying headgear. This was Stenhousemuir one Christmas:

Why does Gary Lineker being on ITV feel like one of those heel turns in pro wrestling

why did every single Iranian player basically do a fold arms and nod move for the individual introductions? almost seems like some sort of directive from higher-ups

They actually provide explanation on why they make those choices. I just can’t be bothered to type the full conversation (I was never a good meeting minutes scribe in the past. :sweat_smile:)

It was a minor hit in the UK. I was sure he was on Top Of The Pops singing it in English, but I could only find the video for it:

Some of those Neue Deutsche Welle acts did really well at the time (Nena, Trio, Falco) but Peter Schilling has become a football anthem.

Full weight with studs from the unfit Lukaku sliding onto the chest, not going to be a nice experience.

Not sure how he’s still on the pitch.

Lukaku or the keeper? :rofl:

Lukaku looks a lot…heavier…than before

I think the commentator from the last match we have here mentioned that he did not have a competitive match last season.

Belgium almost 1 down.

Damn it Courtois! I don’t really like you! :sweat_smile:

It’s pretty cool that the Iran player bumped into a security person before taking the corner, he then gently pat the security person (not patting him/jher down).

Iranians can’t match the physicality of the Belgians.
