    They sure as fuck have more soft power than we do at this point. The entire situation is a catastrophically massive own-goal. But at the same time this whole process has been rolling in this direction for decades at this point.

      One of the things that pisses me off about having to boycott the thing is we’ve fuckin drawn the US in our pool. I want to watch that match so much. I expect it to be different to the friendly.

      Anyway it won’t be watched.
