...Those that can't do...teach. Without any context (not stepping on anyone's joke toes either)and will preemptively apologize if this is stereotyping, don't most people from Wales, golf?

In the TV show Fargo, that "barley a villain" kat from Wales was so, so, good.

My Fargo series ranking:
1. Season 2- the 70's, Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson...the Butcher from Luverne.(Plemmens) *chefs kiss*
2. Tie- Season 1 (Bill Bob and the hobbit guy)/Season 5 (Jon Hamm, Juno Temple--threw effing down) in every way they should be number one on the list but...Season 2, was perfect.
3. Season 3- Carrie Coon, chasing in my opinion the greatest Fargo villain (V.M. Varga) and the star wars guy playing two parts. Love it.
4. Season 4- Worked so hard, had the goods (loving the serial killing nurse & the crap my pants during a robbery outlaws) but came up short. Still amazing tho.

Anyway...my next post will be more socceroo themed (maybe).
 
Context being everything. *laughing* That backstory is the "Sean Avery push-up after a goal" in flag form.
Well done, Mr. Bale.

"Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order." is a infamous banner and chant associated with footballer Gareth Bale, celebrating Wales' Euro 2020 qualification in November 2019. The phrase, mocking a remark by former Madrid director Pedja Mijatović about Bale’s priorities, caused significant controversy in Spain, with critics viewing it as unprofessional.

Italy in crisis.

FIGC should be burned to the ground.
They are an embarrassment. A legitimate clown show operation.
 

Organizers in Los Angeles will charge for tickets to their World Cup Fan Fest events this summer.

L.A. Sports & Entertainment Commission president and CEO Kathryn Schloessman tells Front Office Sports the opening celebrations at USC’s Memorial Coliseum, plus the additional 10 regional fan zones throughout Southern California, will require paid tickets for attendees ages 12 and up.

“If they don’t buy tickets, you have no idea who’s going to show up,” Schloessman says. “Having the right amount of staffing and security there for the number of people coming is really important.”

FIFA Fan Fests are large watch parties that have historically been free since their official inception in 2006. But this year, host committees have struggled with meeting FIFA’s intention for free, centralized events running the full length of the tournament, especially with strict FIFA limits around fundraising and onerous security costs. Many cities have scaled back initial plans, or are slicing up a singular Fan Fest into smaller watch parties.


Sure.......so sell the tix for 10 cents each if it's about logistics and such.
Methinks Kathryn is lying.
