#National Teams

World Cup Arrival Fits I’m excited for the World Cup like I’m excited about the Olympics because I love community on a national level. SO, I’m showing off my favorite part of sports…the best official travel outfits the national teams wore as they arrived to their countries hosting their World Cup games~ Democratic Republic of the Congo too much damn swag Ivory Coast Bedazzled elephants and also swag Japan The mayor of the city in Mexico they arrived in gifted them all tejanas/cowboy hats. France just dripping in designer handbags

Kinda wanna go back to do kickboxing so badly.. I was pretty good at it. Still thinking about the time my coach told me if I wanted to compete in a national level, and I refused. Me and my dumb ass self at 14 years old, wish I could turn back in time, duh.

Wayne Gretzky

world cup bets ok so I have to put this out somewhere for some sort of record so ill put it here in this no mans land in all honesty, even tho I actually follow and watch a lot of football, I have no idea who to bet on as a champion this year. no teams are standing out this time and I myself don’t see any front runner. they all have pretty big failures to address which makes it easier for teams with less tradition to beat them (or even draw, like Cabo Verde did Spain). so yeah my pick for champion was made out of a combination of wishful thinking and analysis (if you can call it that). and yes I know the tournament has already started but who gives a fuck. without further ado, these these are my guesses for this World Cup CHAMPION: PORTUGAL SURPRISES: USA and JAPAN DISAPPOINTMENTS: BRAZIL, SPAIN, ARGENTINA, ENGLAND and GERMANY ps: I consider a disappointment not only the phase in which a team drops out but also the quality of play (and before anyone comes and bothers me, im from one of the disappointments ok)
