@succhan627 Iโve been an English teacher for 10+ yearsโฆ And I speak Poker. Let me know if you wanna meet up for a lunch in Vegas or something and plan a course of study!
@GordonRamsay Please tell the staff at your pub in Caesarโs Palace Las Vegas that itโs OK to turn the sound on for World Cup matches. Especially England matches.
@GoatMo_ This is a corollary to the INCREASED likelihood of massive goal differentials between world class teams, and DEI (undeserving) teams who are only in the tournament under the expanded format. @MsMelChen
This take is absolutely spot on. Fundamental enshittification, on the level of the structure on the tournament, and on the minute-to-minute level of the transparently commercial โhydration breaksโ. My 20 bucks a month YT subscription to FOX One just for this tournament, doesnโt even broadcast the (unprecedented?) halftime shows. I have to imagine FIFA has been in contact with the broadcasters, telling them โdonโt refer to the periods of play as quarters!โ I hadnโt even considered how it warps game statistics, (which is probably the strongest argument for running up the score and rubbing FIFAโs nose in it, more so than the other teamโs). โnothing personal, but you donโt belong here, someone has made a mistake.โ Multiple 15-0 games, in the group stage, letโs go.
โฆI also agree with the (vindictive) take of โwe can never let a country like Qatar Host the World Cup againโ. Itโs a rare moment of North American infrastructure (and American culture) shining on the world stage, I love seeing the post of foreigners, discovering cool American stuff. Jesus they wanted Biden to be president right now. โ๏ธ,โค๏ธ, war, and โฝ๏ธ.
