Yeah I'm not a moron. I was associating you with Albania and Serbia.

Just been on the news, all five people on board the helicopter are expected to have died. One includes the owner of Leicester City.

Done a lot for the club and the region, and oversaw the greatest sporting story of all time.

Americans don't know and don't care.

We've been through this before though and you were wrong.

The Hawk posts quite a bit in the football threads as well.

Bruh. I don't know where these isolated spots of soccer fans are but they're nowhere near me. I think you're just a ****ing nerd who really really wants us to be a soccer country when that's just not going to happen. All I know is that literally not a single person I've ever met in real life actually cares about soccer and a very significant percentage of them haven't even attempted to watch a game or would even know what channel to watch it on.

But hey if you've got statistics from a soccer website that has an interest in promoting soccer then I'm sure you're not using Merit logic.

I follow MLS and the World Cup. I can’t even tell you for sure what league Leicester is in. Premier I guess, which I don’t follow at all. Sorry if I let you down. I watch Atlanta United if I get a chance because I have a team to root for. League play in Europe doesn’t interest me at all so Bat is like half right in my case.
