@MLSGoneWild Having the best save and the biggest fail of your career in one game hits different.

In 2005, sociologists Martin Weinberg and Colin Williams published a study called "Fecal Matters" examining the bathroom and gas habits of 172 American students.
It found that many heterosexual women were less inclined to fart in front of men because they worried it would make them less attractive.

The flip side of that finding is exactly your point: when a woman does stop suppressing it around a particular man, it typically means the impression-management phase is over — she no longer feels she's being evaluated. Interestingly, the study also found the reverse pattern in some cases: heterosexual men were sometimes more casual about farting around women as a kind of dominance/comfort display, while gay men were more careful. So the behavior tracks perceived social stakes, not biology.

The survey people usually cite as "the study": Mic magazine surveyed 129 people about when it's okay to start openly farting in a relationship, and found most people wait two to six months into a relationship before farting openly — which happens to be the same window when "I love yous" are typically exchanged. That's the source of all the "farting = true love" headlines, but note it's a small media survey, not peer-reviewed science.

How real the suppression is: There have been publicized cases in Ireland and Brazil of women hospitalized with stomach issues ostensibly caused by holding in farts around their boyfriends. So the effort women invest in suppression around men they're still trying to impress is genuinely physical, not just theoretical.

@brunettemocha This is a cultural difference not skin color. There are a lot of countries where its normal to take off shoes.

Doesn't matter how currupt the FIFA is - the Football World Cup having more impact to a country hosting it, than any other event. Not even the Olympics. (it's awesome too)

Congratz Mexico - you guys where my secret team, but pls don't boo your enemies, it kills the party vibes and sport is about respect.

Greeting from Germany! (🥲)

@JimHendley4NC Trust me bro, Belgium earned more respect this day than the last 20 years.

It's prize money the fooball association get and decide how to use it. It's not a salary or direct money for the players. Many players who get a bonus from their association, spending the money to charity, cause playing for your country is not a job.

To compare it with a normal job payment is...low.

[LockeDeBossa @LockeDeBossa]

@clkbae_ So the best he can do is respecting Marocco and play normal like against every other team.

@frankmikesmith You can't just copy a blueprint, cause the foundation is complete different. Some rules (like every top club need to have a youth centrum) are good, but its not like at 2000 the football in Germany was the same like it for the US today.

@stats_feed Four times a decade.

[LockeDeBossa @LockeDeBossa]

@KylenMills I'm honest: I think the football (your soccer) youth system is a SCAM. They just see football fan dads as customers.

Football is bigger than the World Cup.

I vibe coded a globe of football clubs around the world.

Spin the Earth and you’ll see thousands of local teams, stadiums, histories, rivalries, and dreams.

The real spirit of football isn’t one tournament.

It’s everywhere.

Nearly 1.7 million people volunteer in German football clubs — out of a total German population of around 83.5 million. That means roughly one in fifty people in Germany is involved in football on a voluntary basis. This figure is spread across more than 24,000 clubs and includes all roles: coaches and training instructors, referees, board members, as well as helpers for organization, membership administration, and more.

Looking at formal positions: Around 306,000 people hold official volunteer positions in football clubs and departments, 116,000 of them at board level. The largest share of the remaining ~190,000 are coaches and training instructors. Since there are around 155,000 registered teams and many teams have several coaches or supervisors, a realistic estimate is 200,000 to 300,000 volunteer or unpaid coaches.

For comparison, the paid side: Full-time professional football coaches are a tiny minority. In all of Germany, there are only around 5,000 coaches with an A license and about 500 with a Pro license — and even many licensed coaches work in amateur football unpaid or nearly unpaid. The DFB itself emphasizes that amateur football would not be able to function without the voluntary and largely unpaid work of coaches, referees, and board members.

There is one grey area, however: Many "volunteer" coaches receive a small expense allowance through the so-called Übungsleiterpauschale (training instructor allowance), which allows them to earn up to €3,000 per year tax-free, as long as the coaching is done alongside their main job. This still formally counts as volunteer work — and at perhaps 5–10 hours per week, it amounts to little more than fuel money rather than a salary.

In short: Over 95% of all football coaches in Germany work as volunteers or for a symbolic expense allowance. Coaching only really becomes a paid job from the fourth division (Regionalliga) upwards.

But acting like there are only 2 sports and you need to decide is weird imo. It is completely legit to have the motivation to be good in as many sports as possible. Different sports are not competing.

There is also American Football here in Germany and they also try to grow and improve everyday.
