So sad. Nobody had bigger balls than Roger Cook. An absolute badass. Goes to Spain to confront a gangster who fled the UK, and keeps his hands in his pockets like Orange Cassidy.
This is straight up the WORST professional wrestling match of all time. It’s not even bad in a way that’s funny to watch. It is just 50 minutes of pure, unadulterated, nonsensical suffering.
Cada vez que me cruzo con este video, me sigue pareciendo tan hermoso como la primera vez que lo vi, es imposible que exista algo más sudamericano que esto.
It is interesting and informative to compare Europe’s two predominantly Muslim peoples: Bosniaks and Albanians.
Bosniaks today often retain a strong sense of Muslim identity and have a feeling of solidarity with the wider Muslim world. Albanians, by contrast, tend to have a much weaker attachment to Islam as a marker of collective identity, with both Albania and Kosovo operating more clearly as secular European nation-states.
A large part of the difference can be traced to divergent historical experiences in the late 20th century. The Yugoslav wars hardened Serbian, Croatian, and Bosniak national identities, crystallizing them into distinct peoples in ways that obscured how closely integrated they had become by the late Yugoslav period.
It is easy to forget that these three groups shared a common language and a broadly similar culture, while decades of socialist rule had significantly reduced the public salience of religion. In many respects, the differences between them were arguably less pronounced than those between Lebanon’s Christian and Muslim communities, or between Syria’s Sunnis, Alawites, and Druze.
For Bosniaks in particular, the smallest and most vulnerable of the three groups, the experience of mass violence and ethnic cleansing in the 1990s, targeted solely for their religious identity by Serbian nationalist forces, must have been deeply traumatic. It transformed that identity into a central reference point for their survival and later political self-definition. This is why they tend to identify closely with their Ottoman legacy today and chant for Palestine.
Albanians, on the other hand, followed a different trajectory. They entered the modern era as a clearly distinct ethnolinguistic group, separate from the South Slavs around them. Even in Kosovo, Serbian repression was directed primarily at Albanians as an ethnic group rather than at Muslims as such. Both Muslim and Catholic Albanians were affected, and this shared experience of being targeted as Albanians reinforced national identity over religious identity.
En 2010 FIFA eligió a Qatar para el Mundial 2022. Ganaron a la favorita: EEUU.
Entró en escena el FBI. En 2015 estalló el FIFAGate que acabó con Blatter, Platini y la mitad de la cúpula de FIFA. El caso fue a los tribunales de EEUU. Con el juicio abierto, llegó Infantino... (+)
Ich habe in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie auch nur eine einzige Person über die EM 2000 reden hören. Musste gerade sogar nachgucken, wer das Ding überhaupt gewonnen hat
@BrianTheGael@lil_doza None of the people in this video view themselves as Scottish in the way larpers online want to believe, they wish they grew up on the shankhill, absolute fannies
These really give primary school globalism. I remember in school during 2010 the kids being divided between different "countries" to play football. Was so exciting
