I've put together a list of videos where you can watch all NSL grand finals. A lot are full matches, some highlights and a few only show the goals.
If anybody can provide links to greater coverage than what is shown, feel free to do so.
One of the key problems with society today is that being a fucking idiot is easily monetised, therefore essentially encouraged, and that really shouldn’t be the case
If Zidane’s headbutt in the 2006 final had happened in the semi-final, and Infantino was president, you know he would’ve found a way for Zidane to be there!
BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

I find it funny that a bunch of people who watch soccer once every four years suddenly have a boatload of ideas how to "fix" the most popular sport on Earth.
What daily life actually looked like in ancient Rome:
1) Romans woke at sunrise and began work immediately. There was no concept of a weekend.
2) Romans ate a light breakfast called the ientaculum — typically bread, cheese, olives, and watered wine. The main meal came in the late afternoon.
3) The average Roman citizen lived in a cramped multi-story apartment called an insula, not a villa.
4) Public bathhouses were social hubs where Romans discussed politics, made deals, and gossiped daily.
5) Romans did not use soap. They scraped oil and dirt off their skin with a metal tool called a strigil.
6) Garum, a fermented fish sauce, was the most commonly used condiment in Roman cooking.
7) Street food was the norm. Most apartment dwellers had no kitchens and ate from roadside stalls.
8) Romans had no concept of quiet at night. Cities were loud, crowded, and lit by oil lamps.
9) Gladiatorial games were free to attend. Emperors used them to maintain public approval.
10) Life expectancy was around 25 to 35 years when accounting for high infant mortality rates.
11) Slaves made up an estimated 25 to 40 percent of the population of the city of Rome at its peak.
12) Romans brushed their teeth with crushed bone, oyster shell, and sometimes urine for whitening.
13) Women had no vote and limited legal rights, but wealthy women exercised significant social influence.
14) Roman men wore tunics daily. The toga was formal wear reserved for public ceremonies and civic occasions.
15) Children began working or apprenticing as young as age seven. Formal schooling was only for the wealthy.
16) Romans drank wine mixed with water at almost every meal. Drinking undiluted wine was considered barbaric.
17) The city of Rome had a population of over one million people at its peak, making it the largest city in the ancient world.
18) Fire was a constant danger. Insulae were built from wood and packed tightly together, making entire districts vulnerable.
19) Roman doctors performed surgeries including cataract removal, tooth extraction, and cesarean sections.
20) Public toilets existed across the city but had no partitions. Romans sat side by side with no privacy.
21) Graffiti covered the walls of Pompeii and other Roman cities, ranging from political slogans to insults and love confessions.
22) Romans celebrated over 40 official religious festivals per year, many of which were public holidays with games and feasts.
23) Chariots were banned from city streets during the day due to congestion. Deliveries happened only at night.
24) Roman engineers built a road network spanning over 85,000 kilometers across the empire, many sections of which still exist today.
25) A Roman soldier marched up to 30 kilometers per day in full armor and was expected to build a fortified camp at the end of it.
Infantino/@FIFAcom: hydration breaks for all so teams aren’t disadvantaged by not having them.
Also Infantino/@FIFAcom: if you are in a later group, you know what you need to do to finish third and advance. Sucks to be you in Group A/B, etc.
I need it to be explained. Uruguay are the ‘home’ team in their away shirt. And then Spain also wear their away shirt, when nothing was ever clashing. Why oh why.
Soy de una época en la que me ilusionaba con el juego, miraba cientos de veces su carátula en revistas y recibí como regalos juegos (en sus cajas) como Gta San Andreas, Pokemon Plata o God of War II.
La caja incluía su disco y su libro; un documento con instrucciones, detalles y parte de la historia del juego que por supuesto leías. Era todo un ritual y una ceremonia que, sin ser conscientes, te ayudaba a generar recuerdos compartidos. Todo esto es parte de tu memoria emocional.
El formato físico permite construir recuerdos y fomenta tu identidad. El ser humano necesitamos de símbolos y esto, en el vacío, se dificulta mucho más.
Sin embargo esta es la deriva actual de toda una industria (y no es nada nuevo, lleva años sucediendo)
