random npcs in the pokemon center when you walk up and talk to them:
This is random but the backpack is really one of the greatest inventions. Great form and function. Lasts a long time, even the cheap ones. And is available and used by every kind of person.

Spain before Lamine: out in the Round of 16 at both 2018 and 2022. Spain with Lamine: Euro 2024 and the World Cup. Funny way to be replaceable.

Nuno Mendes absolutely is Portugal’s best player and he had to spend all of the World Cup clash with Spain marking Lamine Yamal because the kid was just that dangerous. it even broke him in the end! imagine what he’d have done to Porro if he was unleashed? 😭
It's a very rare thing for a fullback, but he's both PSG's and Portugal's best player by a longshot. If Portugal want to win anything beyond the Nations League, they need to build a side around maximizing his strengths. He's a once in a generation, game breaking LB.

😳 🇵🇸 Ray Allen reposted a video of the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing an arrest warrant for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, on his Instagram. “The warrant alleges responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including starvation as a method of warfare, murder and persecution. Trump and Hegseth are next!”

Samuel Eto'o's Instagram post about Lamine's Ballon d'Or is a direct counter to Mbappé saying he'd dedicate it to Africa. Only real ones will get it.

Zidane putting Cherki in midfield with Kone and Rabiot is very funny. what’s the tactical idea there? “just go out there and be me!” ?? 😂

Wait, so you’re telling me an American citizen was walking down an American street, exercising her freedom of speech, and got surrounded and harassed by a mob waving foreign flags and chanting allegiance to a foreign country because they were offended by her T-shirt? That is objectively un-American.
A woman wearing an “Israel Kills Children” shirt stood outside of our kosher bakery here in Pico-Robertson today. Jewish teens came to the rescue, singing “Am Yisrael Chai” and waving Israeli flags behind her. Antisemitism is not welcome in the heart of Jewish Los Angeles.

There’s exactly zero percent chance the Barclays will allow their competition record to be tarnished by titles being stripped. That level of PR damage that will make Calciopoli an amateurs scandal. But if it were to happen…
Has to be a massive points deduction at the very least. Titles stripped and relegation should be on the table too.

I figured they would wait until City weren’t Champions or defending Champions and unsurprisingly that is the case. impeccable comedy tho dropping this after they spent £300m+ on three midfielders and are top of the league again. 😂
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7049721…

That spanish team would have gotten annihilated by Nuno Mendes alone if Lamine wasn’t on his side. In the nations league where Lamine had an off game. Nuno killed them alone. Doku was defending Lamine in that Quarterfinal as well. 2 players that would have hurt Spain differently.
If Nuno Mendes didn’t go down against Spain we might’ve actually beaten them
