Oh sure ! "not to offend you" but unlike what you think . basketball is one of my favorite sports. you should know these days internet and other things exist and you don't have to live in Europe or North America to watch basketball from around the world. but you also should know people have different "taste". I prefer to watch a game between Indonesia and Guam over a regular NBA game. (I only watch playoffs seriously) because that's something "new" for me. I prefer national matches in any sport in general. I don't care much about club competitions when you just can buy a whole new team next year. yeah I watch NBA sometimes or European basketball leagues when there isn't any other thing but I prefer national matches. and I like this format because at least we also can have some international matches during the year (and not just in summer) I know this is probably a unpopular opinion and I said that in start of my previous post but that's not because I can't watch so-called "quality" games. this is just what I prefer to watch. I enjoy to see when players try their everything for the countries. instead of watching NBA when nobody even cares to defend sometimes. and Slovenia no way deserved to be in the WC. their top players didn't give a shit about their NT when they had the chance in summer. and when the World Cup starts nobody will talk about Slovenia. yeah I feel sorry for Croatia, they tried with their best team. just had bad days. but this is sport. new teams also deserve to try their chances in the World Cup. and who can say Poland didn't deserve to qualify ? they beat a full squad Croatia which is huge for them. even though outside Europe. I can't see even one single surprise (which is unfortunate IMO) in other continents all bigger teams qualified (or will qualify) for the WC. (I hope Uruguay changes that at least) PS: Denmark Euro Champion in 1992 failed to qualify for World Cup 1994 and the sky didn't fall. and won't fall this time too.

*Runs to leave boots at the door in hope of receiving sweets. Should be plenty of room and I've been very very good this year.....

At least I'll have this wholesome 30 minute forum experience in my heart forever.

I like your try though, good that protests and riots are becoming tradition

I need to consult my old Dutch roommate next time, before I write something about Dutch traditions.

What a match for us against Norway

Heywoodu the jinx.

Here we celebrate Saint Nicholas on 6 December by eating fish. It is the biggest fish eating day of the whole year. Also it is one of the biggest name day, so many people are going to celebrate tomorrow.

boys here have something similar but it´s for the Easter Monday..and it´s a quite another story

That is a very Croatian stick

I hope @heywoodu got coal and spite in his boots for making fun of me

Looks Good! My old kindergarten teacher did that for her classes every year to teach us about that tradition. (I was a big fan by the way) I’m curious as to how this differs from country to country or from house to house.

We put out the boots tonight here too. Although aside from candy, this is also a common gift...

i'm watching Halloween of 1978 looks not old at all

here is simiar custom for Christmas Eve, and in the morning presents bring Božić Bata :D

this is how it looks when the kids get up the 6th december early in the morning to watch if St. Mikuláš came and rewarded them for being good the whole year

Once bullies, always bullies ... @heywoodu

"It's just a test" In b4 winning

Yes she changed her mind and will actually compete tomorrow, but it´s gonna be just some kinda last test race before the real season opening for her on Saturday.

This is fantastic

What the f**k, German biathlon. https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/biathlon/video-magiathlon---ein-magischer-biathlon-winter-steht-bevor-100.html (It's in German.)

You do not want to cook in a dorm kitchen.

Not much different from what I would do, although I'd prefer a banana shake (with vanilla as firm second choice though if banana is unavailable). Also, we really need to ask a mod to move this to general chat or something

That is incorrect. I had a cheeseburger and a vanilla shake, thank you very much (weird combination, I know).

When the food establishments are bitchin' Time to get back to the kitchen

At least they didn't fuck up my Fanta Sidenote: When I was in Copenhagen, I spent a lot of my money on Fanta, since here in Lithuania we no longer have as much flavours as Denmark has It was a very lemon-y, tropic-y and pineapple-y four days, lemme tell ya

This is an international pizza disaster

Time to go on a depressed spending purge, buy myself a pizza and cry whilst watching Youtube videos until I leave for work

How to solve the problem with fog.

For me the biggest problem is that we don't have 2 eurobaskets in 4 years :?
