officiating yes but security I don't think so since host country has a big role in managing that

This tweet by the guy who died in the Trump shooting has gained traction. He replied to Piers Morgan's tweet about the devastation in Palestine that 'they'll get over it' like the Japanese did (after the nuclear bombings). Says much about him as a person but think his family should be left alone at this time. 

cold but warm water is preferable in winters

I don't think any civil war is happening but the complete polarising reactions over this incident does indicate partisan lines are getting stronger and stronger

Not saying it was staged, yet can't see how former political assasination attempts constitute that one isn't staged?

*recent assassination attempts, an indication of a trend of increased violence in politics

Good second half. England played better than everyone thought. 

Spain are the biggest national team this century so far. 

It's coming home !

It's not staged, there have been some political assassination attempts over the years Shinzo Abe, Imran Khan, that Slovak PM so I don't doubt it.

As Dr. Gonzo said you can always make enemies that want to kill you in politics. 

Boring half but yeah England are playing better than most thought

It's coming home !

Ludicrous, isn’t it?

Yes but it has happened far too many things around the world. That famous CNN headline U.S bombing a hospital in Afghanistan not a war crime. I get it there will always be some hegemon but these 'superpowers' (not just US) really need to change their course. World can't keep running like this much longer. 

The way I see it they have some overgrown entities like MIC, CIA etc which need to let out their aggression somewhere. They can either do that internally or externally outside their countries, obviously they pick the latter. 

2016 followed by 2010 two most dud tournaments.

Russia doesn't refute the attack or the targets and claims it was damage from a Ukrainian anti-air missile.

If it ends up being a France England final I would boycott football and leave the forum.

Portugal had their reasons to play the way they did in 2016 bcz they had shit attacking options, fucking Eder. France has no justification

2-0 Spain

4-1 Netherlands

Yeah I know. And it won't make much difference if he's the leader or not. But he is still the face of the Democrats. But would it increase their chances to win the election if they got rid of him or give them less chance? 

I would replace him. There are talks of him likely to lose to Trump of all people that is enough to get rid of him

@Dr. Gonzo Do you still live in the states? Do you think it would be better for the Democrats to get rid of Biden or stick with him? Obviously if they stick with him he probably won't be involved in much decision making the people around him will do it and he'll just be the face of the party. But will they have a better chance of winning the election if they get someone else in or will it dent their chances more? Obviously neither are ideal. 

That is already the case. No way he is largely running the things.

Even in your crap list the ratio is much much better than 4 losses, 1 penalties loss, 1 win. (16% wins)
My list has us 11 games, 6 losses, 2 penalty wins, 4 wins.(36% wins)

Why are you comparing them to England ? no one says England are better or equal, compare to Spain or even France which are Germany's equal on the continent which is the whole point

Nice since you failed to mention @Devil-Dick Willie's adopted team won 7-1 in a WC semi against Brazil in Brazil, where almost all forum members said this would be Brazil's time on home soil, which shows they scored more goals against a football giant in 1 match, than England scored in 5 matches against small to medium sized football nations put together during this tournament. Also wasn't it you who said Argentina would win the WC 14 final because no European team could ever in SA? but hhey, why would you mind your yesterday's talk?

I joined the forum in December 2014 the final was played in July

I would give Germany their group games against Portugal and Netherlands, both Ws, in 2012 considering half the shite you've offered here. 
 

Netherlands lost all three games at that Euros and were off color like Germany was in 2021 that you keep bringing all the time whenever England's win against them is brought up. And Portugal have only beaten Germany once in 2000 despite playing them so often, Germany is their kryptonite so let's just forget them

Penalties are officially counted as draws fyi win on penalties is never satisfying for any side.
