2026 World Cup
Someone was saying something last week about Argentina - the people are so passionate, they even sang their national anthem louder than God save the King...
Ya see though, there's a fine line between passion, pride and insecurity. In Argentina they definitely overlap... and it's fucking annoying.
Can you imagine.... peacefully hiking in the Sacred Valley on your way to Machu Picchu... and run into a group of Argentines who didn't stop chanting AR GEN TI NA for over an hour.
It's pathetic sometimes.
- raises hand...guilty as charged, but I was commenting on the passion needed for a team to win at this level, I find overly nationalistic fans annoying too_niko
- the Norwegians were fun, so were the Scotts, pretty much every other fanbase who went out and had a good time and didn't take it too seriously._niko
- Amen, canoe.
The thing is that all the passion and patriotism won't make you good at football. Any number of teams every WC play for the flag ...Continuity - ... (France's team in South Africa notwithstanding), not all of them advance.
Argentinians get to the where they get by cheating. And FIFA let them get away ...Continuity - ... with it. Simple as that.Continuity
- lol Continuity I was thinking the same thing, after I posted it if playing for the flag was true then Serbia would win everything all the time lol_niko

right then. Back to real life! Fuck you Argentina you dirty, cheating cunts.
- Terrible behavior after losing the final, sad!OBBTKN
- I haven't watched a single match—I detest professional soccer—but show a little respect for sportsmanship.OBBTKN
- They could/should have gotten 3 red cards in that game alonespl33nidoru
- And that Spain goal that was disallowed because their player dived - yet was never looked at by VAR - was grossly unfair.Ianbolton
- An have an Argentinian art director in my team and at our Monday stand-up he stoped the meeting and apologised for his countrymen's behaviour. We appreciated...Morning_star

- Lupita Nyong as helen of Troy is still more believable than Elon Musk is a genius._niko
- Musk has more than demonstrated he isn't an authority on any topic.i_monk
- OK doughboy, they're going to need crowd control at your graveMrT
- Haha. I watched this at the weekend and thought it was a great film. Musk is effectively the Antinous character played by Robert Paterson.Ianbolton
- I'd pay to watch him attempt to give a lecture on anything Homer. Him reading an AI synopsis "ahrm well actually um ermh ah.. (weird mouth whistling noises)..garbage
- ..Home um erhm um ah Homer is the thing aum um er you see fundamentally um (whistles again) um what what what I.."garbage
- People must have mistaken him for a genius because all that natural charm.garbage

Suggest a good movie…
Saw it last night. Dug it. Even my 10 year old son sat through 3 hours of it, transfixed.
- spartacus?neverscared
- imax?_niko
- Unfortunately no Imax in my hick little backwood town. Considered driving the whole family down to Toronto to see it the way it was intended.bogue
- but all Imax 70mm shows were virtually sold out through August in Toronto.bogue
- Am I supposed to easily understand what film this is from this still frame?jagara
- Not from that rock you're living under, no.
I mean, you know what it is, you just want to try and make some point.Nairn - its the new -jason bourne 1200 BCE -.... he is traveling back in time this time..neverscared
- there are for more films planned where he fighting his way back to the present through different time periods.neverscared
- It wS better than I expected. Some parts were pretentious, especially the dialogues between some of the characters.NBQ00
- And bogue: is this really a movie for 10 year olds? It has violence in it.NBQ00
- this story has a powerful anti-war message. I guess it depends on weather your 10 year old is an idiot or not.bogue
- it its about idiot or not, nbq that tommy robinson fan boy sure shouldnt watch it.neverscared
- I'm not into Tommy but also not into Islam. Sorry that many of you can't comprehend that.NBQ00
- There are many violent anti-war movies, question is should 10 year olds watch these movies or not.NBQ00
- Should 10 yrs old read Homer?pango
- @Nairn oh fuck off. Not everyone follows everything.jagara
- Did a reverse search on the pic, hadn't heard of this shit. Whatever.jagara
- NBQ is like those Karen complaining about tits in Oppenheimerpango
- Seems like many people are experiencing accessibility issue for the first time.
Ya it sucks when things aren't made for you to easily accesspango - But I bet majority of people will only see it on their phone.pango
- Looking forward to seeing this one too!robthelad
- I'm not 10, but if I was I’d watch it. I watched Predator when I was like, 8, no side effects, apart from the camouflage and clicking.robthelad

Historical note of the day:
Yesterday marked 90 years since the coup d'état that led to the Spanish Civil War... I curse all those who dragged us into that shit—on both sides—that we still haven't managed to escape.
But one thing is clear to me: my grandmother (born in Argentina, though she lived her whole life in the Basque Country) always said, that life was best during the Republic, before Spanish National-Catholicism came along and fucked everything up.
A shout-out to all the bastards who lined their pockets thanks to our misery!
- Could be worse. At least you got to sit out WW2.zardoz
- Yes and no. Perhaps if Franco had joined WW2, he would have been eliminated, and we would have been spared 40 years of horror...OBBTKN

What's the most expensive book you ever bought ?
I'm considering a brand new $650 collection of visuals that would be very useful/inspiring and probably instantly pay for itself but I can't convince myself to bite the bullet!
There's no single book equivalent in terms of how much of a goldmine this book is.That's the original publisher price (limited run + signed by some celebrity, none of which I care about), second-hand goes for close to 2k, ouch.
- I think about a £120. I'm currently trying to sell one for £300... . I gave up trying for £450 - it's not going so well, lol.Nairn
- Use page 47 and you will earn $649.99.canoe
- Bet to an Ebay user, win winOBBTKN
- As a gift I got a first edition of Pope’s translation of the IliadGnash
- Yeah I might have to do it and maybe be one of those high price resellers when money gets tight!spl33nidoru
- Good luck Nairn, keep a price high with clear room for negotiation or they'll offer 150 vs your 300spl33nidoru
- Dayum Gnash...spl33nidoru
- $4600pinkfloyd
- Wow, what was it ? Do you still have it ?spl33nidoru

- One I assisted on for Jordan is going for 5k. Wish I had the funds to get it! https://stockx.com/a…hydro74
- Library?tbgoodwillie
- Comics definitely count, nice ones!
tbgood, 500 copies of that book were printed, unlikely to be found in a library sadly, They should have given you one hydro!spl33nidoru - Oh god, this one sucks. College-aged garbage was a dirty graffiti kid that somehow was dating an incredibly rich girl. Disgustingly rich.garbage
- Really bonded with the mother over the years, and as a parting gift she tried to give me her first edition signed Catcher in the Rye.garbage
- I turned it down as a point of pride.. and just saw that it sells for about $37k. I want to throw up on my younger self.garbage
- You did well, she probably appreciated you more for it. Think about the guilt of selling it now!spl33nidoru
- 1st edition signed catcher in the rye, geeshpinkfloyd
- $27k*, but still. @spl33, she apparently did passed a few years ago. I was part of that family for a good 7 years. The irony is the entire situation was the..garbage
- ..fam was like a real-life Glass family that Salinger would have drooled over, except extra. I can't name names, but their mansion was previously owned..garbage
- ..by a former SB-winning QB. Fam is connected to politics, there were Hollywood aspirations. It's hilarious how much I did not fit in there.garbage
