  1. Apparently there are so many people on the streets that the team bus has already been travelling for more than 4 hours from the airport to the city centre (usually a 30-minute journey).

  2. Or because I’m surrounded by people with racial issues, and a false belief in populism. I’m pretty certain almost every sovereign nation is meddling in each other’s affairs. Right rather have a politically correct President than one who: has bragged about assaulting woman, caged children, banned people because of their religion, used business as a way to justify his denial in science, declared victory over our allies, blames everything on people he doesn’t like, talks with the vocabulary of a 5 year old, pulled my country closer to autocratic leaders, invited the Russians to meddle in our elections, went bankrupt multiple times, has denied facts throughout his term, created fake “fake news”, used race baiting as an excuse to bring back derogatory practices. He doesn’t seem to represent the average person, and he certainly doesn’t represent the America I know. Political correctness saves us from administrations like NAZI Germany, the USSR, military junta’s, and autocratic leaders. I also don’t think that age determines a person’s knowledge on a subject. I am one of the kids in the state for knowledge in geography, politics, and history. Of course the older “wiser” generations use age as a way to justify a reaction against new ideas.

  6. Honestly, she has been having the highest approval ratings of any politician here for a long time, ever since she got elected. And I can see why, as she seems to generally care for the office. Sometimes even trying too hard.

  7. You need to change your attitude and just start to cheer for Asia cuz you are Algerian and majority of Algerian population have Arabian ancestry. And Arabs come from Asia and conquest northern Africa. So you are African immigrant. Simply as that.

  9. How is there any truth in that, considering by far most French players were born in France, for starters? Pogba and Mbappé, to name two examples, were just as much born in France as Hernandez or Griezmann, to name two other players with a foreign background who are strangely almost always excluded from the lists of 'foreign players' in the team.

  15. Quality-wise a really poor tournament with almost all big teams (except for France) flopping. In major leagues there are just too many games, it's probably no coincidence that the 2nd youngest team won. Let's hope that players will be less exhausted in 2022. France was the best team and deserved the title, they will only get better and will be the team to beat in the future. For me it's still weird to see so many players with a foreign background in their team, i would imagine it's hard to identify with this team for many white people in France. I know that France has a lot of people with a foreign background, but not clearly over 50% as in their football team. Mbappe of course was the best young player and Courtois was the best goalkeeper. Hard to tell who was the best player, noone really stood out.

  20. Not exactly. There's a huge difference between administrations like Nazi Germany, military junta's and so on on one side, and an extreme political correctness where free speech is almost gone (because if you say 'boo!', someone is gonna fight you on that and say it's *insertbadthing*) on the other side. Like so many things nowadays, people seem to forget that there's a way in the middle.

  27. Congrats to France. It’s weird, I actually don’t think the French team played particularely well all tournament long given their potential and yet they won the World Cup. And I honestly mean that as a compliment, that this French team was so good they where able to win the World Cup despite having an “off” tournament. This group of players is exceptionally talented and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they win a couple more major tournaments. I think Croatia played extremely well too, and frankly could have won if they caught a break or two in the finals, but that’s Football, and honestly Croatia did get lucky at times along the way (winning two penalty shootouts and whatnot).

  29. Final Standing available here thepharoah crovitlaci chrischi08 And @thepharoah did it! Fantastic predictions from the start until the very end. Not first medal in football prediction contests but I am sure the first gold one! Congratulation! Congrats to @crovitlaci on silver medal, it was a close race. But also, congrats to Croatia on amazing achievement, playing in World Cup final. Great success. Well done @chrischi08 on winning bronze medal! Always close to the top, and what it looked like another top 5 finish and no medal, this time luck and more faith in certain teams brought the podium for you. Congratulation Leading during contest, @amen09 couldn't handle the pressure and last three of four predictions went down the drain. A definition of a choke Sorry and better luck next time Same could be said for @Vojthas who had more than 5 points lead at one point but latest matches didn't turn out the way he expected. To finish in top 10 with 50+ participants is not bad Thank you everyone who participated, I hope you had fun, enjoyed the contest and the Cup! Let's swim now!
