@001Oxygen This next one will be my 10th from beginning to end. I also watched 1982 and 1986 but not every game. I was really young for both of those. But Maradona’s handball was etched in my brain for life. Watched it happen live on TV.
An incredible bit of sports journalism by The Guardian here. A short summary of the playing style of all 48 World Cup nations and a short profile of all 1248 World Cup players. Bookmark and refer to the resources when watching the obscure matches: https://t.co/tdLGq8en0o
@Tomko_1@heyitsmeCarolyn It’s not even her song. It’s a cover. Blows my mind she’s still living off someone else’s song all these years later. Loved it as a kid though. Can’t deny it.
This is actually kinda insane
In 1996, a 14-year-old kid watched Jaws and got obsessed with Quint’s WWII monologue.
He then began researching the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis, interviewed around 150 survivors, and reviewed 800 documents. His research focused on the role of the ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, who had been court-martialed after the incident. He came to believe that Captain Charles Butler McVay III, who had been blamed for the tragedy, was innocent.
The 14-year-old, Hunter Scott, presented his findings to the United States Congress at age 14. In 2000, Congress passed a resolution clearing Captain McVay’s name, and the U.S. Navy later formally exonerated him.
Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television.
Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.
