but you can't take the ER out of the girl

comms saying this is the stuff of champions and i'm confused what stuff they mean because surely it can't be a 112th minute goal against 10 swiss men ?

i take this back actually i want switzerland to have ugly football win against england because football is never coming home

I am not Norwegian. I have never visited Norway. I don't speak a single word of their language, I don't recall ever eating their cuisine, and I do not personally know anyone from there. But I am so so incredibly sad over this loss. They had a beautiful run. It was joyous. It was incredible. Their cohesion and passion and excitement. The captain's corners. The celebrations. The traditions and the fans and the rowing and the drums and the emotions. Oh, I will miss you so much. Thank you for all the heart you gave, Norway.

i feel so proud of this team for some reason.

didn't block oomf during the world cup award

i think this would result in several exciting new and innovative forms of long-term injury

Yeah, but it would be funny as hell.

Now that I've gotten a bit more equanimity, I do have to say: Norway, you have gifted me with a degree of World Cup joy I did not think I was capable of experiencing at the age of thirtysomething in this the year of our lord 2026. I have loved Norwayblring the boys melting in the heat and rowing after the game and homoerotically cuddling on the pitch with all of you. We'll always have Greensboro, and all that.
