Eh, won't be an asterisk near it in the records and not like the majority of football fans really give that much of a ****.

This thread would be pretty empty if there were no propaganda, to be honest.

Shame Messi's an Argentine.

Martinez'll take it for Argentina

Neighbours have BT speakers on, so I decided to connect my MP3 player to a couple. Did seem it worked for one, hope they enjoyed Limp Bizkit

Well, people getting their money's worth I guess

And that's it.

Maradonna smiling up at this.

Yeah, glad I decided to clean my bedroom instead of wasting time watching this

And for some reason have Iranian and American players in each squad.

Well as long as it's not tedious bolter porn with some wank death metal OST, should be ok.

F-35 has an automatic ejection system in that mode, I believe, maybe that triggered ?

Ciaphas Cain I can hope.

Arrests for beer smuggling

Seems like a bad idea, but guess we'll see. Ukraine is pretty thin in the north as well, granted is just from OSINT types that are pro-UA.

UT3's soundtrack is pretty good at least. And no, Tribes is the gold standard.

My old workplace finally got around to taking the SSD out of my work laptop and is giving it to me next week. Good enough Christmas gift, I guess, a beat up T460p. Has a 940MX though, so that's something.

Well the HIM part of HIMARS is what makes them hard to hunt, I don't think the Patriots are as mobile and also are defensive so less proactive so to speak. Probably wouldn't be effective to try to rush it with drones or missiles but would be an easier attempt. Economist had a bunch of interview with Ukrainian officials and such, this one was interesting An interview with General Valery Zaluzhny, head of Ukraine’s armed forces (archive) "TE: What do you make of Russia’s mobilisation? VZ: Russian mobilisation has worked. It is not true that their problems are so dire that these people will not fight. They will. A tsar tells them to go to war, and they go to war. I’ve studied the history of the two Chechen wars—it was the same. They may not be that well equipped, but they still present a problem for us. We estimate that they have a reserve of 1.2m-1.5m people… The Russians are preparing some 200,000 fresh troops. I have no doubt they will have another go at Kyiv" Not sure if the talk of this second offensive is just more scaremongering for the wishlist.

https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-is-delisting-almost-every-unreal-game-but-making-unreal-tournament-3-free/ "Epic is apparently bringing back Unreal Tournament 3, originally released in 2007, as Unreal Tournament 3 X, fully free and cross-platform between Steam, EGS, and GOG" Well that's something.

So they invented something worse than Agile.

Expensive gifts for Christmas. Guess the Russians will try to focus on those, easier than hunting HIMARS.

I'd like France to win, just to enhance Giroud's success and Arsenal fans' bitterness over him

Brace yourself for all the Messi headlines, I guess.
