USA 1, Wales 0!!!

Which is not an acronym. The acronym for ‘association football’ would be AF (technically an initialism).

I think that the language police will forgive me on this one:

But why?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If someone wore a Nazi uniform, what then? After their conquest of Jerusalem, the Crusaders went on a killing spree. Saladin, when he reconquered Jerusalem a century later, was much more merciful. Th English fans were acting in bad taste; besides, the Crusades were primarily a French phenomenon; the English had somewhat limited participation.

Qatar is a country where it is a crime to be sexy.

I thought you weren’t going to waste any more of your time on this ‘worthless forum’.

You have to understand that it’s their culture.
