Bazzas right boot Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) 16 hours ago, Led Tasso said: Group B is going to be fun for drama. NGL, I think northerly European teams are going to struggle mightily with the heat, and several of the bigger South American teams won't be fully used to it either. The Italians will probably be the least impacted but even so. I don't have a huge amount of love for this USA team but I'll give it the half-hearted heave-ho. We're better than we've been for a bit but I don't even think we're as good as the old Donovan/Dempsey teams, even though Pulisic is pretty unarguably our best player ever. I'd love to see an African team like Senegal or a Colombia or Mexico have a deep run and maybe even hoist the cup. And, of course, wishing the Aussies all the best! Italians will be about as impacted as Scotland are. Edited November 18, 2022 by Bazzas right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are defending a country where it is illegal to be raped!! If you can't provide 4 male witnesses of the act of penetration that testify it was rape then you are convicted of ruining the man's reputation - 100 lashes and 7 years for that - unless you marry them.
