I recant that comment. Who am I to call a player a goalscorer if he doesn't even have the dignity to direct a penalty into the goalkeeper's hands (injured or not)?

Indeed. Your ridiculous notion has been disproven. I'm no Putin apologist, but give credit where it's due. Russia have outplayed their apparent potential and deserved to be where they were.

You say that like we ever got rid of it. It's all over the floor in the houses of parliament, too.

Would have been nice to see Russia go through just to see how mad it would make the Americans and English (especially the English). Oh well, here's hoping Croatia stomp them next round.

How stupid can a guy be to miss the goal like that? I literally did not even care about the game as all my favorite teams have already dropped out and would not have watched it if not for other people in the room and still I am angry about that stupid move. That's how stupid it was.

That guy deserves to be sent to a gulag to mine uranium with his bare feet.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.
