OK get your tinfoil ready.
Graham inspected a drone factory in Ukraine yesterday. Russia blew up that facility today. Then, tonight, it is announced that Graham is dead from a "sudden illness". No more details
I'd say there is a decent chance that Russia blew up Lindsey Graham.
I love british chants the most when they're kinda self destructing
Like this one chant that was sth along the line of "how shit are you that we're winning"
Sometimes i start to feel bad for the players then i remember they're millionaires so whatever
I have a theory:
American sports culture tends to be more earnest, motivational, and family-friendly. Chants lean positive or generic.
“Let’s go [team]!”, “Defense!”, “I believe that we will win!” Honestly it's kind of cringe and lame, especially when you compare to the English football chants, which are the absolute pinnacle of excellence in the field.
The Brits don't have this positivity culture. Theirs is infused with banter. In the USA, there's less cultural permission for sustained irony or savagery in mixed public crowds.
Football in the UK was (and remains) a working-class / tribal passion for many clubs. These clubs have deep roots, representing regions that have gone to wars. Manchester United vs. Leeds always invokes the "Wars of the Roses," a 15th-century civil war between the House of Lancaster and the House of York.
US soccer has long had more of a suburban, middle-class + family vibe in many places. And instead of standing terraces, American stadiums are mostly all-seated, highly commercial stadiums with constant PA interruptions, ads, timeouts, and have more of an “entertainment product” feel. Cheerleaders or marching bands and announcers often lead rather than the crowd inventing spontaneously.
Just to show you how cheeky some of the banter is in English football (which wouldn't be tolerated in the US), there was a South Korean player who played for my team Manchester United. The chant for him goes:
Park, Park, wherever you may be,
You eat dogs in your own country.
It could be worse,
You could be a Scouse,
Eating rats in your council house!
(To the tune of a variant of "Lord of the Dance")
And this is us the United fans showing love for Park because we bothered to craft a chant for him! This would simply never fly in the US
Yes i don't get it why ppl sht on spain for their history while currently they are the only European country (alongside ireland maybe) who has dared to stand against the current colonial genocidal empire
Both their ppl and their government
زحمتی که بشرا شیخ @Bushra1Shaikh و بسیاری خبرنگاران آزاده برای نشان دادن واقعیت ایران میکشند واقعا ستودنیست.
کاش صدا و سیما هم متوجه بود که دلدادگان رهبر شهید صرفا از یک گروه فکری نیستند.

Tucker Carlson no longer sees Muslims as the enemy.
Mohammad Hijab now likes Iran.
Sneako became a Shia.
Americans are burning the Israeli flag to celebrate 4th July.
Everyone hates Israel and loves Iran.
Times are crazy.
