The whole of the Balkans is like this and there are still countless places hardly touched by tourism. Bosnia, Kosovo, Western Bulgaria and Northern Greece in particular have incredible scenery.

A moist Turkiye, please

Gemmill against Holland surely. Although of course they still got knocked out, and the game is probably as famous for the Trainspotting scene as the actual result.

'Leicester City' is not a football club but a longitudinal psychological study from the University of California. The researchers are interested particularly in the extent to which participants will remain loyal to an authority figure who, after initially building trust and rapport through rewards, subjects the participants to increasingly severe psychological punishment.

Addictive

It's a quite remarkable run, never playing a knock out game in a major tournament. For a country that can legitimately claim to be the home of football as much as England. Can't think of anything else like it in any sport.

10pm is such a perfect time to watch a football match, love it

Hoping for a poor result just for the potential canal-based pun headlines tomorrow

Haven't had a beer all week in this heat and just sunk an ice cold Paulaner Hells like John Mills in a bar in Alexandria.

In my experience a lot of Brits are quite religious while telling themselves they're not. Like, "I'm not religious but I think there's got to be something more to it all than this yeah? And like, some kind of higher power we're not aware of. And some of life just feel pre-ordained, know what I mean mate? But listen, I'm not religious, yeah? Not some God botherer innit. Just a bit spiritual".

Belief cannot be "performative". If it is then that word really has no meaning anymore, which to be honest is the case. And it's impossible really to distinguish between 'religion' and 'spirituality'. You can definitely distinguish between religious organizations and individual belief, players crossing themselves would certainly fall in the latter category.

Fair enough, was being a bit needlessly confrontational, probably the heat

That was a real jump scare

"Performative" once again. People around the world are different and believe in different things, as much as that blows people's minds in the UK.

It's not false, it's just you struggle to understand people believing in something you are unsure about.

It's basically just two players between attacker and goal. The point is that one of those two players 99.99% of the time is the goalkeeper on the line, but not always

Also maybe I'm misunderstanding your OP but it's very spiritual, if not regal. I do like it though, shame it's been a bit spoilt by drunkards watching inferior sports

NIMBY anthem no?

Still 26 degrees here ffs

every day I wake up and remember Russell Martin is our manager
