Knicks will be fine, they needed to lose tonight for karmic reasons

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Keldon Johnson is such a dumbass lol, just cost them the game

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

we need a panafrican flag emote

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Brazil will likely play either the Netherlands or Japan in the RO32 and then one of France/Germany/Senegal/Norway/Ecuador/Ivory Coast in the RO16. There will be no international “minnows” to lose to. Historically maybe but all of these teams are very strong now.

[Criss_Crosssss @Criss_Crossv2]

Brazil have “shock” RO16 exit to international minnow written all over them.

a tournament that is fundamentally about equity which spent decades excluding African and Asian nations. lol.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

bear in mind that this is a tournament which has been hosted by Italy under Mussolini's rule and by Argentina in the midst of its dirty war. and the two most recent hosts were Qatar and Russia. lol.

One of my favorite quotes from my interview with Diego Luna about fútbol and the World Cup. Link to full interview below.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

i was so confused about why my dad was really keen on checking out the Argentina friendly tonight and then i was like ohhh he's scouting for the Algeria game lmao

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

And I keep forgetting that Fortaleza is the biggest city in northern Brazil. Also constantly thrown off by how massive Nigeria and Russia are like damn so many big cities that I know absolutely nothing about.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Been doing a lot of “most populous cities” quizzes as of late and it’s getting to the point where I don’t have the capacity to remember more than 30 Chinese cities.

@JuneVanBloem This one might hurt the most for me. We coulda had Senegal in the semifinal against Brazil if Camara didn’t accidentally block a goal from an offside position…

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

@Bd_irB_ll why are people taking the Olise news seriously? Perez is just trying to generate buzz in order to get re-elected this weekend.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

so nice of France to give the Ivorians a nice send-off in front of all their fans

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Scorsese discourse again...

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

@NeilBahadur @swen_ryan who are some of the newer filmmakers in the 2020s that you're a fan of?

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

@JuneVanBloem @TrashTweetsOnIy @pipobakayarou @Ankaman616 the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl are the two that come to mind which are situated in big cities but of course FIFA/the organizing committees preferred the fancier, newer NFL stadiums.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

@CarmanTse @achassi lmao yeah that's the one. a ricochet plus two penalties against Panama, two tap ins against Tunisia, a penalty against Colombia, nothing after the round of 16. it's his job to score tbf but it's definitely the weakest output for a golden boot winner in the postwar era.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

@achassi easily. which is funny to say cause i thought their 2014 team was better (imagine if Falcao hadn't done his ACL that year...oof).

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Feel like I’m being gaslit by the way folks talk about international football on here. The 2018 World Cup was ass. The 2010 World Cup was poor. Every Euros since 2008 has been terrible. Put down the nostalgia goggles.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

2018 was also the worst showing for Africa in decades, no way in hell will i have fond memories of that. fuck the fair play rule and fuck Marcos Rojo.

[illy إلياس ⴻⵍⵢⴻⵙ 🇵🇸 @_sillyilly]

Nolan in IMAX is appointment viewing but The Odyssey just looks deathly boring to me
