This is culture.
Bribing a FIFA official (he is wearing a shirt that says ‘FIFA Official’) by handing him a great big sack with a dollar sign and the word ‘BRIBE’ on it

Come ooonnnn single elimination randomness 🤞🏻
The #CanMNT's Group B is #8 out of 12 groups in average FIFA Ranking, and #12 out of 12 by average Elo Rating. IF you average the UEFA Playoff A teams' rankings, that is

If Italy qualifies, Group B becomes #2 out of 12 by FIFA Rankings, and #8 out of 12 by Elo Ratings. Big swing

Path to winning the Cup? Let’s focus on winning one game first?

I saw someone call Wayne Gretzky 'The Great Once' earlier today and that's what the internet is for.

How long before we start hearing fox types talking about the Venezuelan “wave of death” or something, that’s a very hostile and threatening gesture in their culture?
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Dylan Cozens’ powerplay goal in the 1st, his 33rd point as a Sen, is good for 126 all time, tied with Kerry Huffman (who? apparently he played parts of 3 seasons in the mid-90s) and Patrick Traverse, a bubble guy with the team, playing a couple dozen games a year, through the second half of the 90s.

It’s time to talk about my cat. To which you might be saying, “Chuck, I didn’t know you had a cat!” and I’d respond with, “I didn’t know I had a cat either…

Huhn, I thought he was much closer to 40 already.
The #hashtag 3 year $4.1M McDonagh extension each season:

$3.1M Salary
$1M SB
No Move Clause

As this includes SB after Year 1, it's considered a 35+ contract, meaning a buyout provides no cap relief

I *really* thought he was gonna play tennis racket guitar for a second. I wonder if he thought about playing tennis racket guitar for a second?
Victoria Mboko a connu l’une des plus belles saisons de tennis de notre histoire en remportant un titre lors d’un tournoi de catégorie 1 000 de la WTA et en accédant rapidement au top 20. 
 
Victoria, ton histoire nous inspire, et les meilleurs chapitres restent encore à écrire.

Finally got Sultan Ahmet for our treat dinner night tonight. Generally pleased. Salad is 90% raw onions though, and that ain’t made for my family 🙃

New microwave in the office kitchen has a digital button that you need to press to unlock the manual latch to open the door. What kind of monster would add this feature to a device people have been using unchanged for ~40 years?!
