Now that I've seen Qatar and the Swiss play, I think that if the Canadian side plays the same way it did in the second half against Bosnia they can win out.

If

Canada has trouble scoring, and Qatar are going to be tough to break down. IF Canada can score early, then that changes, so an early goal is key.

CC, you going to any games in Vancouver?

Yeah, Canada had trouble finishing and david didn't seem in top form. Even larin who did great doesnt have it in him to play 90. If the Qatar goalie stays hot it'll be an issue.

Another stabbity stab incident involving a non-indigenous attacker?

Are the criminals running an ad-campaign for the right now?

Thus has it always been so.

Though needs noting all those brit on brit or brit on foreigner killings.... They do happen. But don't get anything like the same level of reporting.
But we know who owns the media.

The goal is as realistic as the plan to colonize Mars.

Every age has its suckers, it's just that this age has more than usual.

Still do not think those transitfees are sustainable long term though. Sooner or later one of other states is going to challenge that

Other states are going to try to enact transit fees/tolls of their own first, due to that precedent.
No, not Denmark and its Sound Dues.

Bastardi Cristiani, even for non-Romance language speaker is pretty obvious.
Voi e il vostro Gesù Cristo, io brucio is not that crystal clear, however, yet pretty much incendiary.
Economics degree holder, seems his Alma Mater would not give him a job, and he was not happy with the answer. Must have been Allah's will I guess, for Salim el Koudri, the perpetrator.

I have to say this warmed my heart. 

The Guardian

What began as a convenient means of making sure the game goes ahead has since led to blossoming friendships. Next year JJ is going to the wedding of someone he met through the platform.

Loneliness, especially among young men, is a problem the Footy Addicts platform can help solve. But it also creates a space for women to play more football. Stephanie Benneli, 33, takes part in a longstanding game in Highbury. She grew up in Brazil playing football all throughout her youth, but when she came to London as an adult, the opportunities to play dried up.

After an eight-year lull she discovered the service, which brought back her passion for the game. Now she plays football whenever she wants, and it makes a world of difference to her life.

"If I'm struggling – when I've been through difficult moments, football is the only thing that really takes me out of my house," says Benelli. "I don't care if it's drizzly, raining, if it's snowing, I just go out and enjoy."

As Grelet's match winds down in Barnard Park, the next team gathers on the sidelines, getting ready to take over. They are already introducing themselves, joking around, heckling the players on the pitch at times. The mood is jovial, as friendships form in real time.

I like this approach, although pre mobile phone and Internet, you'd just pick up your shoes, a ball and head to the nearest 5-a-side pitch in most of Oslo.
