That’s pretty wild, definitely a very random combination.
IDK stuff
That’s pretty wild, definitely a very random combination.
Reminds me of how apparently Flavor Flav sponsored the US Women’s Water Polo team because he heard they we had minimal funding and were working multiple jobs plus trying to keep up with their training or something like that.
Its kinda sad to think about, but also I guess very American. Hoping some benevolent rich person blesses you and your sport with money so you can hopefully keep doing that sport to win a medal.
Edit: Yeah it was the water polo team, also realized I’m being serious on a meme post… ABC News Link
Thanks for digging that up, that’s worse than I could have ever imagined it being judged… I don’t blame you I don’t want to look more into that either.
Well that’s upsetting to hear. It’s completely abhorrent and I already can’t believe that guy is allowed to compete. I can’t comprehend how 4 years was it for his jail time. Deserves much worse than just the boo’s he got in the first match.
Was going to say I remembered Paraguay being better semi recently but honestly haven’t been tracking the different South American national teams very closely.
They might make it to the 2026 World Cup just because the CONMEBOL qualifiers now allow for like 7 teams to qualify, out of 10. But with teams like Ecuador and Venezuela on the rise, they have fewer chances.
Venezuela’s rise has been interesting to me, I know quite a few of their players have come through or still are in MLS. I’m guessing the sport has grown in popularity in Venezuela enough and the domestic league quality must be decent enough to give their players a shot in foreign leagues.
Does Paraguay have a solid roster? I know they had a hard time in Copa America. Either way, hope Japan keeps their foot on the gas and can keep the Israeli’s loosing.
Idk if it was live but just watched Cuba beat USA in Men’s Beach Volleyball. The Cuban’s were pumped and really trying to get the crowd into it all match despite the rain.
Looks like it happened in pool play: Olympics Site Match Results
Good to know I had a feeling this had to be the case. It’s always the first thing I notice, since it’s so obvious.
This isn’t concrete evidence but I feel like a lot of craft breweries made one or two good beers as a homebrewer and somehow knew people or had established money to start up a craft brewery. Since I do like checking out craft breweries and most have literally 1-2 good beers and the rest mid to poor (the bigger the draft list generally more likely all are poor). A lot of these breweries get bailed out by good locations or recently providing spaces to let the adults booze + “Watch the kids”.
I like to homebrew and so I’m aware of the process and have some idea of the costs since there was a moment I thought about it before I realized how much money I’d have to find (not happening) and how much I dreaded the business side of it. It’s much more fun to just give people beer and see them enjoy it.
Yeah I’ll have to figure out when the new booster is going to come out and plan accordingly I think. Feel like I’m in no man’s land timing wise
Have you been boosting every 6 months? I’ve been mulling over getting another booster or waiting till the new one comes out. I’ve been more up to date than most, but last one I got was when the bivalent vaccine came out.
Watched it earlier today, and loved every second of it. Especially after learning he beat his former teammate, who was a defector.
