Running through the channels last night, heard Olberdork comment on this. His tone and expression was “just right.” /CreditWhenCreditIsDue
Paraphrasing: When Brazil scored, the crowd rose as one ... even those in the wheelchair section. Oops.

I’d like to have that arse fill out the last two years of BO’s term . . . just for the comic relief.

the whole fricken world is going to pot and this is the big story of the day? While I agree the cops need to “evict” the usurpers, we here in America have a much bigger impostor to be rid of.

No surprise about fake disabled people at the World Cup. Everything about big-time soccer strikes me as completely phony.

The cops should investigate players who collapse like they've been shot whenever an opponent accidentally breathes on them. But enough about hockey, let's talk about soccer.
