Vinny Green Balls

I lived in the MENA region for awhile. Although I loved being there, I thought the weather was dreadful. Much like Palm Springs here where an ex lived. It was fine for about five months, and awful the rest of the time.

You’ve never been to the Arabian peninsula then. The weather is fucking awful 7 months out of the year.

Lalas is probably celebrating the rise of the emperor president. He’ll get over this quick when he puts his well fitted Waffen SS digs on tonight.

At least Berhalter will be gone? the Reynas probably already reserved the Hilton conference center for a party.

That’s the level of sheer incompetence that FIFA’s looking for. He’s got the right stuff

Didn’t even go over 6 when a fucking Uruguay player was down for a minute. Make sure this fucker never gets a game again. he’ll ref the World Cup final now

Uruguay also rubbing it in that they still have a representative democracy

Uruguay players are fucking pieces of shit, man. Always.

This fucking ref is one of the worst I’ve seen in awhile. That is saying something

Pretty sure it was a clean header

We used to have decent goalkeepers

WTF?

Taking them a long time

This fucking ref would cause a parents’ brawl at an under 10 AYSO girls game

Cops America refs must have been picked straight from 1990s Concacaf qualifiers

I see Uruguay is filled to the brim with cunts again. At least some things don’t change.

Mike desperate to break the Berhalter curse

But at least there was some level of vetting. Citizen journalists throwing shit against the wall while never setting foot there were much much worse. People still call what happened in Libya a coup orchestrated by the U.S. while accusing those of us who were there of being CIA operatives because we didn’t witness anything remotely like that. but back to Gordon

I witnessed their editorial standards in Benghazi. Although they weren’t bad at all,there was often speculation based on rumor that they justified with “purportedly” they quickly jumped to the conclusion that the Abu Salim massacre site was found outside Tripoli, when it was very tenuous to begin with. Their vetting was compromised by either the fact that everyone was erroneously reporting I, or the attempt to break the story before anyone else. The editors and their headlines are usually much more egregious with this than those who actually reported it though tbf

I’ve come across a lot of serious puzzling bullshit in my line of work.

It’s not a big historical slip up at all, but it illustrates how even the BBC has helped spread bullshit stories (less than others mind you). And no one bothered to ask why a Serb would be eating a sandwich in Sarajevo in 1914. Sandwiches weren’t a thing there back then. Strangely it’s almost exclusively British and American news that still reports this on retrospectives, despite the source likely being that novel.

That’s likely how it happened. The archduke had the route changed but the driver got confused and took the old route back. It was after a failed attempt earlier. The car as not supposed to turn on the original route. Princips was stationed there in case the first attempt didn’t go through.

I cited a 2003 bbc novel in my first post (a few posts before what you quoted), which I assume that you didn’t read. For some strange reason, both the BBC and American news sites cited the sandwich story since that novel came out, which is the first time a sandwich was ever mentioned. Smithsonian did an interesting investigation into it. I found it when I was listening to a BBC News audio walkthrough of Sarajevo when I was there for a festival in 2018.

He’s certainly the most overrated now. He has so many tongues in his asshole in the media that it looks like a painting in Clive Barker’s bedroom.

Peter Schmeichel diplomatically pointed out Ronaldo’s narcissism.
