"I will never forget it. That was a childhood dream come true, and it ended in the most absurd fashion and I never got over it."
"I still dream about it. If I could erase a moment from my career, it would be that one. I had a thousand opportunities to miss a penalty in my career, that was the one I really couldn’t miss."
"What is sometimes forgotten is that even if I had scored, Brazil could still have won with the last penalty because before me Baresi and Massaro had both missed."
"I failed that time. Period. And it affected me for years."
I'll not forget his extraordinary skills, or his class.
"I find it unpleasant to judge players on the pitch, that's why I don't do any TV punditry work. I see colleagues who couldn't complete 3 dribbles condemn players on air." - Roberto Baggio, 2 days ago
Who could that be?
Beautiful post this. ☝
That album and the following one was a blast to and of consciousness. No-one had heard anything like it. I still have some random regional award for a piece I wrote about the collective effect of those albums in some box.
You have me started on Gojira already. Intrigued. Their social justice stance also has me bought in.
Remarkable that they're all still alive considering how all four have been such enthusiastic substance abusers. Tony Iommi's 3 grams a night habit wasn't even his main narrative. His love of thuggish violence and inserting himself at the thinnest of opportunities makes his existential circumstance surprising.
Mostly moved on from their music almost forty years since but I'd have zero hesitation in exchanging a minor organ to be at Villa Park on 5 July.
Little info here, but a bunch of these thugs have been arrested.

49 days between premier league wins.
The same club's ex-players and supporters were celebrating losing just a few months ago (even wearing opponent kit), so maybe they're alright with it after all. Hard to fathom, that lot.
Chuffed to bits over this. Spurs missed a trick in sacking Nuno Espírito Santo after just 17 matches. In fairness, he looked a bit lost at the end.
What a legendary year it would be if Notts Forest finished above Man City.
"One last hawk tuah"
Aaaaaand she's disappeared... Pretty sure she was fugazzied by the person who cooked it for her. Probably hiding because of those threats calling for her to be killed, or from the potential of being arrested.
FWIW, I'll take the word of academics who teach crypto engineering and the business of it: Not credible as an investment tool.
Not just enemies. Millions of his own supporters are being badly burned. I'll not refer to politics at all.
Trump yesterday rescinded Biden's executive order to limit outrageous drug profiteering. Just one example: 4 million Americans on medicare (not medical aid, they pay far more) were paying $35 for insulin under Biden. Before that it cost many times more.
It's already in effect. There are videos of Trump voters now crying online with some saying they can no longer buy insulin for themselves and their parents.
(edit: All 3 pharmas supplying insulin have warned of enormous price increases to shortly be introduced for all USA users)
And then there are all those supporters who are seriously angry at Trump over his memecoins since the weekend. Set up 2 memecoins, not even bitcoins. Many call memecoins shitcoins. Mostly American MAGAs put $56 billion into it, Trump pulled the rug. They were strongly warned against it. Some idiots lost their life savings, and the cryptobros are spitting mad at the illegality of it and how he will not be held accountable.
Financial analysts this morning state that within 2 days this grift now makes up 89% of his personal wealth. Trump scammed some of his own, they're furious.
Ouch.
I read elsewhere that a shopping centre in England is named Liverpool One. Everton opened a club shop in the same centre and called it Everton Two. Official business address is Everton Two, Liverpool One.
RIP David Lynch, incredible filmmaker and brilliant surreal visual artist, a guy who loved doing plumbing and carpentry throughout his life.
Lost Highway, Eraserhead, the Twin Peaks series and movie, Mulholland Drive, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, all truly exceptional. Any favourites?
With my knowledge of shithousery far exceeding my knowledge of stats, I could do with some assistance. What kinda nonsense stat would this constitute?
Days since Tottenham were defeated by Arsenal in the premier league:

I was about to write the above bit of crude shithousery on returning from my sunset beach ride when I encountered this far more eloquent response 👇
Came across this today.
Days since last defeating gunners in the premier league:
Man City 631, Man United 865, Liverpool 1037, Tottenham 1041, Chelsea 1243
Hardly seems possible when one listens to the Sky and ESPN FC and ITV pundits, BBC and TNT ones less so. Craig Burley, Stevie Nichols, Gary Neville and that hypocritical prick Jamie Carragher are the worst.
I'll swerve mentioning performances in the other competitions. 😂
