>>157306066we go on chevauchee in france and beat gallic roses instead
>>157284798Going to play ball a little with this. As a former colony of theirs, it starts at the grassroots. When younthink of the Italians, Germans and Spanish and the like, you have a sort of cultural identity when they come to mind. A complete sincerity in what they do and an "approach" to it. England do not have a cultural identity. If anything, their cultural identity, if they ever had one, is a mix of "what would the neighbors think" and to look busy with bureaucracy but to never genuinely accomplish any change by design - England must stay the same as all that. Any "acting out" or genuine individualism that isn't mandated is struck down, not for the collective, but because it would be a "fuss". There is no culture around an approach, a "way we do things", but a "way we don't do things" instead, if that makes sense. It's basically self-sabotage. An Englishman's obsession is with making it "look" proper and respectable, while not having the character or methods to make it actually so, and that extends to football, where one's culture, passion, drive and methodology have to come together to make something brilliant. They have 2 of those 4.Ironically, the English FA (and other sports associations for that matter) embodies this. It doesn't operate like am FA, but a collection of snooty aristocrats who are reactive because the job, to them, is not actually doing things actively, but reactively, because making sweeping changes and points of emphasis is just not cricket. Things may be "changing" now, but they have been "changing" for over five decades. England seems to want to return to the pre-WW2 or WW2 days of national pride, when they had their commonwealth and were the eminent superpower and are in a sort of "bitter realization" stage but are trying to maintain the illusion.
>>157289836>If you look at the depth of talent they're producing, it's probably second only to France in the past decade.let me guess you think Saka and Rashford are good players.
>"What does Barça need to do to keep me? Show that they love me, come negotiate, and in the end, everything can be discussed."The entire Spanish team is getting their PR destroyed because of their arrogance.

>>157305860It's mostly good and respects history, Arkansas hated being in SWC tho and I see you don't want any conference having more than 10 teams. Swap Arkansas and both Oklahoma schools and demote Tulane. This would leave the "Big 8" with 9 teams instead of 10 tho.
>>157306124Only added Tulane to the SWC, so Arkansas wasn't the only school outside of Texas. The Nebraska and Oklahoma rivalry would also be missed, but Oklahoma and Texas rivalry, or the River River Shootout could always be a non-conference game too. However, I don't mind your ideas.
>>157305860Georgia Tech needs to come back home to the SEC
>>157306296>The Nebraska and Oklahoma rivalry would also be missedtrue but if sacrificing that rivalry meant reversing this current freak show for this "power 7" setup then i'm for it.

>>157294398Russian FA will do what Putin wants.Putin 0wns the bald cunt, even awarded him a medal for it.Russia are also (still..) members of UEFA, but banned from UEFA competitions.The bald cunt is trying to get Russia back into FIFA competitions, because, he's 0wned.Russian yoofs can take part in FIFA competitions, but not UEFA comps, as UEFA having none of it - which means they are by default banned from World Cups etc, as UEFA representatives.Russian executives are still part of UEFA and probably wouldn't want to go against a UEFA wide boycott, as trying to get themselves off the naughty step,Putin would probably demand they support the bald cunt, if it came down to a choice/vote.tldr, its complex. But when in doubt, whatever Putin wants.

I have a strong suspicion most female athletes go to competitions to show off their bodies instead of athletic performance...
>>157305329Athletics is really about the celebration of the human body.Now there are feminist hags who don't like this, and they're making demands to limit what can be shown on the TV broadcast.

Let's keep celebrating Spain second worldcup title, with another lovely storytime from another time. >The 1970 FIFA World Cup was the ninth edition of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international football championship for men's senior national teams. Held from 31 May to 21 June in Mexico, it was the first World Cup tournament held outside Europe and South America, and also the first hosted in North America. Teams representing 75 nations from all six populated continents entered the competition, and its qualification rounds began in May 1968. Fourteen teams qualified from this process to join host nation Mexico and defending champions England in the 16-team final tournament. El Salvador, Israel and Morocco made their debut appearances at the final stage.>In the tournament final, Brazil won 4–1 against Italy, another FIFA two-time champion (and UEFA Euro 1968 winner). Brazil also overcame another two-time champion and South American champions Uruguay, by 3–1 in the semi-final, and defending champions England 1–0 in the group stage as they were also eliminated by West Germany in the quarter-finals. This is currently the only time that the winning team defeated the European and South American champions alongside the tournament's defending champions.>The win gave Brazil their third World Cup title, which allowed them to permanently keep the Jules Rimet Trophy, and a new trophy was introduced in 1974. The victorious team, led by Carlos Alberto and featuring players such as Pelé, Gérson, Jairzinho, Rivellino and Tostão, is often cited as the greatest football team of all time.They achieved a perfect record of wins in all six games in the finals, as well as winning all their qualifying fixturesprevious albums: https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/search/subject/storytime/

>>157305542I guess it's because if you're gonna invest alot in sports infrastructure you might as well get two major events out of it.
>>157304957Weird how the English flag wasn't properly adopted until the late 80s.

This last World Cup performance Messi did was for his dad.He was so emotional and crying after beating England because of his dad.He was pointing at the camera. I thought it meant "it`s for you my fans". But It was for his dad.He was thinking "dad, you see what I did there, this is for you".https://x.com/evv821/status/2086093279200760092This is the most beautiful video of the World Cup.From one side it`s sad this isn`t a message sent personally to me as Messi saying "I love you personally"(random citizen).But it is still beautiful knowing it was a message for his dad.I wish I was brought up in a functional, healthy and a loving family like him.This video made me cry.Comment too long.
