Downvote and move on. Openly whining about it is likely to just make people troll you.

It's a whole subculture. Part of the appeal to a lot of people is precisely getting to those spots which look impossible. The people who are really serious about graffiti will totally carry ropes and harnesses and other gear to help them get where they need to be.
It's 40 years old this year, but a lot of stuff in the documentary Style Wars still rings true.

I’m sure I’ve made it from the North Stand to the Villa Chippy by Witton Station in less than five minutes. Never at half time though.

It’s such a good picture. I dabble in photography a bit and this is a perfect example of what makes a photograph great. Its barely in focus, it’s grainy, the highlights are blown and yet it’s utterly brilliant because it captures so much energy.

Services and perishable goods too. Basically anything where you can say you sold a lot more than you actually sold and it’s difficult for anybody to prove you didn’t. It’s why Walt had a car wash in Breaking Bad.

I didn’t say anybody doesn’t deserve it, those are your words not mine.
However to answer the question there are a lot of sides that will just drift through without providing much in the way of memorable moments which Canada have done so far.
Obviously a lot of this is about expectations going into the tournaments, the Canadians have been able to throw everything at the group stages whereas other countries will have come in a week after their domestic season ended and will be expecting to play 4/5/6/7 games in a month so will have to manage their energy more rationally but the overall point remains the same as my first post in this thread, if there’s an implication that Canada somehow failed because they got eliminated after two games then the people who think that should look closer. Canada have performed very well against top tier opposition and will go home with their heads held high.

Players born in Greenland are eligible for the Danish team as far as I’m aware. Jesper Grønkjær is the most famous example, he was a fixture in the Denmark team for ten years.

Qatar too, but Canada have been decent. The two teams they have played so far were Belgium (officially ranked 2nd in the World, semi finalists at the last World Cup) and Croatia (finalists at last World Cup) so it’s been a baptism of fire to say the least. They probably should have beaten Belgium and they gave Croatia a run for their money for an hour. They’ve given more to the tournament than some of the sides that will progress to the knockout stages and given the age of the squad they are in a good spot ahead of hosting in 2026.
