@S4V33URoP@iMiaSanMia@lequipe None of that changes that whether or not it’s a weak Germany side. I’m English and I hope Germany beat France - just don’t think it’s likely.
Whats strange about soccer: It employs absurd mathematical precision to police offsides, a rule that mostly matters in spirit rather than in strict application. (You just don't want cherrypicking) But its extremely casual about timekeeping, whose literal application matters a ton
@DominicDoherty2 What are we supposed to sing?
“We’ll probably lose but hopefully we win la, la, la”?
Bitter home nation fans never expect any other country to not sing about their team winning 🤣

"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead."
I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:
Louis Armstrong plays to his wife, Lucille, in Giza, Egypt 1961. Armstrong was an American trumpeter, composer, vocalist, and actor who was among the most influential figures in jazz. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.
The English have spent a thousand years giving them grief - Agincourt, Waterloo, endless Channel-side eye-rolling - and they just keep bouncing back with annoying flair. Silver medallists of Western civilisation, forever. They take a battlefield thrashing and turn it into a tragic romance with violins. They turn a baguette into a national religion. It’s ridiculous. And yet...
Deep down (under several layers of warm beer and irony) the English can't help loving the French. They've been each other's favourite sparring partners for a millennium: proper rivals, proper brothers-in-arms, the only people who ever made each other raise their game. Respect? Sure, they've earned it. In great big glistening heaps of garlic butter. 🇫🇷🇬🇧
The Romans saw vultures as sacred. They were the most auspicious bird an augur could see. Plutarch said this was because vultures were pure. They don’t hunt the living, they don’t steal a farmer’s crops. They take only from the dead.
