I think the avatar driveis busted right now.

Is freaky though.

Where our on-line presences will go to live out retirement and fade away?

Put up some avatars, guys, it's so weird when two avatar-less posters are chatting.  :P

I have avatars switched off, you guys all look the same to me.

But how do you then easily find the important stuff in threads i.e one's own posts?   :P

You could always check posters' name you know.  :P
Hell, even recognise some patterns in their posting.  :smarty:

I used to have an avatar, but it disappeared after a server crash or change.

Tonight, opening game of the ladies' World Cup! Just in case you are really bored.  :P

I think I have the lowest post count of anyone still hanging out here.

On my phone posters' names are typically off screen when I'm reading threads. Definitely no need to look for them in a lot of cases.

No, you don't.

If they avoid DDR-style "female" athletes, yes.
Nobody is asking to care as if it were the real World Cup, right?

Besides, Copa América starting next week (14th June). No Neymar Jr. though, injured in a friendly against Qatar (!). Qatar participating this year to the Copa América (stop laughing).

There is only 10 team in the Conmebol, there is a need for invitee teams to make it a worth while tournament, imo.

Japan is also in this year's Copa América.

Not good enough to justify Qatar.
What about North America such as Mexico or the US? Would make sense and stay true to the name. :P

One reason more to make it the rule, rather than the exception. Though perhaps once in a while Canada instead of the US.  :P

OTOH, there are Euro 2020 qualifiers too such as Faeroe Islands-Spain.
Should be 5-0 or so for Spain though.  :P

No lyrics for the Spanish anthem, yet they manage to sing out of key.  :lol:
