Quidditch?
I shit you not, but there is a Highland Games hosted here every January. About 10 years ago they added Quiddich to the schedule…just a bunt of cunts running around with broomsticks between their legs

I guess Gakpo wasn’t dropped then.

Of course, his numbers for them are very good; 19 goals and 11 assists in 48.
One of their key players.

Yeah I thought it was dog toss to be honest, he has been an ever present in the national team.
This is why @Dutch has the lowest post to like ratio. The only spike he had was when he was posting pictures of Jutta Leerdam.

@ICEgov & ICE @HSI_HQ will be working with local and federal partners to secure the @FIFAWorldCup.
They will play a pivotal role in combatting human trafficking as well as stopping counterfeit merchandise and counterfeit ticket sales.

It appears an increasing number of players are not being issued visas. It is rather mind-blowing that FIFA doesn’t secure the right of access to the competition for the nations that qualify. It sounds like they are all going to be issued eventually, but just pointless friction.

The official stuff has always been so naff. 98 was the first one where I was in the states, although was back in the UK for most of the tournament itself and I remember one of my team mates talking to me about how excited he was becaus of how great the world cup song was. Was he talking about Fat Les Vindaloo? Probably ot because I assume most Americans wouldnt get it. Was he talking about Carnivale de Paris by Dario G (a fucking banger, especially when the bag pipes come in)? Probably not because that sort of music just wasnt present in the US at the time. So what was he talking about? The fucking FIFA sanctioned Ricky Martin slop song that was essentially people just going “futball…you say futball not soccer, right?” to shit music
