@davidsirota @SusanSarandon the lack of introspection is palpable.

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC dumbass Americans entering the chat....

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@UTDKarra I think Norway will struggle against Senegal when faced with a keeper as good as Edouard Mendy.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@BiscuitsDad30 @nytimes @TheAthleticFC fair enough! I totally misread your earlier reply, it seems.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@BiscuitsDad30 @nytimes @TheAthleticFC but he didn't even get the yellow and a booking, which was certainly warranted. that's the whole point. and this is far from the first time Messi has walked away from improper conduct without even a warning

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@sgevans also, if Donovan paid attention to the entire Deschamps era of the FFF, he'd have observed this is a particular style/strategy: slow, lilting starts, bordering on ennui, lulling the opposition and then POW!

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@sgevans Americans still learning how to play football. Yes they were dominant against Paraguay, but they also waste so much energy running around like hyperactive puppies the entire match needlessly. and look: Pulisic is injured yet again.

@Demo4fhs older PMC Gen Xers will keep that 40+ hour work week going. Exhibit A: my boss.

@JGreenbergSez @SCRIBEMOON the current "normies" you refer to have only controlled the Democratic Party for roughly the past 30 years and were hostile opportunists once. the "hostile takeover" you're currently lamenting has more in common with the 60 years of Democratic politics preceding that.

@pongafuego @Legauche Italy managed to be Euro champions in between two bouts of failing to even qualify for the World Cup

@HWellman11285 @bnug31 @KyleKulinski and because he's spent a lifetime ever giving a single shit about any person outside of himself. guy doesn't even give a shit about his own kids except vaguely (and narcissistically) as extensions of himself

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@_captainpulisic Pulisic hasn't even scored a goal since December. what's the difference?

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@DontbuyfromKay @glenn_tunes the US was always a terrible place to host, even before all that: insufficient football/soccer facilities, terrible public transportation, local populace that by and large doesn't appreciate the beautiful sport

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@dopeyramone @11Yanks seriously. way overrated.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@fuboTV why aren't you putting the Italy / Bosnia match on PPV? seems like an insanely lost revenue opportunity.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@shanaka86 seems to me that in this scenario - "if ground command centers are destroyed, if satellites are blinded, if the president and the entire chain of command is gone" - then one should accept defeat rather than engage in some destructive. spiteful Captain Ahab scorched earth policy.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@gunsmoke317 @PenGwenWithLC yeah, like that west coast hyperloop he 100% lied about being in negotiations with federal and state govts to develop.

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@grok @Rurik_Varangian @miyoyahoocom1 @lospectra_ he didn't co-found Tesla. he bullied his way into "founder status."

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@CoplandRoad55 @lospectra_ @grok Trump is such an abject business failure that he's gone bankrupt many times. Only reason he was able to keep anything going despite all that is due to all the professional real estate/business connections his father built up. Far from self-made, but rather incredibly privileged

[Alessandro @theVelcroMonkey]

@ffhuggie @cattank @hasanthehun even if your premise is true -- that he was "breaking the law" -- is everything with you people a capital offense that deserves summary execution, no charges, no trials?

[You Know Who @MuskTillDawn]

The degree to which people are about to realize that it’s not that government wasn’t capable of helping you, it’s just that it didn’t give a shit is wild
