So long, America🫡🇺🇸
49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.
This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.
Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.
So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!
I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:
“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”
Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸
The world is small. Some of you may have seen in my bio that the club I support back home is @fcmidtjylland. That’s because my family is originally from Denmark, and it’s our local club.
One of the club’s biggest legends just happens to play for Houston Dynamo, so we got to meet up today ahead of the Portugal match.🤩
This meant so much to me.🙏
Former Hawaii kicker Kansei Matsuzawa is signing with the Raiders, per his agents @isa_management.
Born in Japan, Matsuzawa — AKA “The Tokyo Toe” — now brings his leg to Las Vegas.
Bam Adebeyo's 83-points was 8.5 standard deviations above his average. This is so large it breaks data floating point precision limits in returning an exact statistical probability of occurring.
I'm led to believe this is a 1 in 166 quadrillion chance
Bam Adebayo broke math.
His 83-point game was 8.5 standard deviations above his career average (or ~1 in 53 quadrillion)
Based on career avgs, its like:
Patrick Mahomes passing for 915 yards
