One Year Anniversary: Before and After

Owning a bar for year lost me my health, I'm delighted to have won it back.

After gym pics aren't cool, but allow me this one. #fitness #weightloss

@FemiJACOBS Please provide an example.

@leylahamed Morocco are a great team. We've seen countries with great teams have one great tournament and disappear. Bulgaria, Czech Rep, Denmark, Cameroon et al.

But it looks like Morocco is here to stay.

@Selene_Mariposa Bare in mind, there's more than just the Premier League (despite Worldwide popularity). England has 4 pro leagues. And, actually, roughly 7000 teams, 480 divisions in the English football pyramid.

Spread across the top 5 leagues countries, you get similar population to USA.

@hebh_jamal It's America, they've already written the same about offsides, timekeeping, diving and now penalties. It's not about race, it's clickbait rubbish.

And in fairness, 90% of Americans I've seen on X have loved the penalty shootouts.

@nihalist___ Football unites people, please stop creating a false divide 🙏🏻

@Frank_Castle6 @JoezMcfLy I remember when I started watching NFL. It was a long time before a began to appreciate good defensive football.

@MsMelChen It's not that Europe is getting weaker. The rest of the World is getting stronger.

@HLTCO I've witnessed similar in Vietnam for an U23 semi final. Kids riding their motorbikes around Hanoi, waving flags and being their horns. The whole city stopped.

@gov_fails Me when I first started watching NFL.

[James Howard-White 🦁🦅 @jhowardwhite]

@RGIII You're in the playoffs. It's time to believe the hype, time to dream the dream, a time for blind faith. Enjoy!

That said, match 1 in the world cup is similar to week 1 in the NFL. Messy with a few surprises.

@USMNTCORNER It's what American dreams are made of. Akin to Rocky Balboa coming out of nowhere. But, he must face Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago and Thunderlips in the same tournament.

[James Howard-White 🦁🦅 @jhowardwhite]

@BallinFFB I don't hate your team. I hope you do well. The tournament is always better when the host nation is still in it.

@DavidFurones_ I love it when it's not my country. Too much heartbreak.

[James Howard-White 🦁🦅 @jhowardwhite]

@ChaseDaniel There's mind games at play.
Teams will have 100% researched players penalty history.
Some keepers have a gift for saving penalties.

@dieworkwear When I first came to Vietnam, young vn would often tell me their country is the best. I don't hear it so much these days though 🇻🇳

@TimmyTebrows Soccer refs protect goalkeepers the same way NFL refs protected Tom Brady.

@BosniaNTBall Italy were winning until Herzegovina got subbed on at half time.

@CallVoter @Ole_is_right Did you prefer the sport before VAR?
