Well, they may as well get the Ballon d’Or for the 2025-2026 campaign engraved now. With his numbers, it will be hard for Messi to lose now.

Did you see his story about where and how he grew up? Just a little guy. Poor. Loved the sport.

:joy: :joy: It was an ego-check, for sure.

To be fair, about 1/3 of us chumps that showed up with stars in our eyes got shown the door at lunch, so it wasn’t just me.

The Viking “rowing” chant sounds amazing on TV.

Also, Haaland is a beast.

Weird game from South Korea and South Africa. KOR needed at least a tie to advance, but played with absolutely no urgency at all playing most of the second half down 1-0. Totally complacent until the final couple minutes, when it was too late.

What’s this malarkey of scheduling two games at 14:00???

The two games are teams that are in the same group. They want to make sure there is no malarkey with one team throwing a game because they already know the score of the other game.

They still should have asked me first. This really messed up my tasks for the day. Weed pulling, poop patrol, vacuuming…busy, busy day! There are some things you just can’t rush.

This is why they are playing them two at a time. They knew you had chores to do and couldn’t be sitting in front of the TV all day.
