Played against ten men for almost an hour and still couldn’t come back. Even at home you couldn’t get past the round of 16. 40 years and not a single quarterfinal appearance. FIFA even gave you another home World Cup since you can’t seem to get to the quarters if the tournament isn’t in Mexico. AND YOU STILL LOST, after winning every game before this and looking somewhat good. The round of 16 curse continues Pexico.
Garfield was well educated and was the first ambidextrous president. So he could write with both of his hand and even do so at the same time. He also knew Greek and Latin so he could write in both.
Their longest drought since they won the tournament in 1958 was 24 years. Between 1970 and 1994. With this loss in 2026, the drought is guaranteed to be 28 years.
As in really good at their sport.

He was born in that wooden house next to the white building.
Considering they were both from Massachusetts. Also this is a picture of then Senator Kennedy with Coolidge’s wife Grace Coolidge. Apparently they both served on the board of the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachusetts. So that’s how they knew each other.
Makes sense why they were so close.
After all they were both presidents from Boston. Also this picture was at a dinner that celebrated the release of the Adams Family Papers in 1961.
I can’t think of anyone that comes close outside of active players.
After 20 years, and 6 World Cups. He finally has a World Cup KO goal. And it was penalty because of course it was.
That was the case for a lot of states Bush didn’t win. Also this was the state where the Republican Party was founded.
I’m sure they were happy to just be in power but didn’t like Ike supporting the new deal.
Since Ohio became a state of course. Ohio was almost entirely republican since the party’s founding until 1912.
Ronaldo has more “competitive” international goals. But what that means is that it includes major tournaments like the euros, Copa America, World Cup. But it also includes minor tournaments like the nations league as well as qualifiers. Obviously they both play qualifying rounds. But Ronaldo plays euro qualifiers as well as World Cup qualifiers, due to Copa America not having a qualifying. So that’s why Ronaldo has much more “competitive” goals because he statpads against lower teams in the euro qualifiers. That means his goals against Luxembourg are counted as “competitive goals”. Ronaldo also plays Nations League which Messi doesn’t play so he plays far more competitive games. Whereas Messi, when he’s not playing World Cup qualifiers or tournaments, plays friendly games.
His son tried a few times but it doesn’t seem like he did. I wonder if he wanted to but his loss to Reagan in 1966 ruined his chances of a possible run.
Nixon’s presidential library is actually built next to the house that Nixon was born in. When I first went to the library I thought it was a replica. But no, it is the actual house that Nixon was born in, in 1913. Apparently it was a mail order house. His parents got the parts for the house in the mail and his father built it on the land that they had bought. Nixon is buried not that far from it meaning that he is buried almost in the same place he was born.
Giving Civil Rights to all non White races - James Garfield firmly believed in civil rights for all Americans so he made sure to sign a bill that did that. Or at least he would have done that if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN’S bullet. His assassination changed the course of history and he would have done amazing things as president.
Reforming the civil service - James Garfield made sure that civil service appointments were based on MERIT and not based on if you were friends with members of the party. Garfield completely got rid of the spoils system. Or at least he would have done that if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN’S bullet. His assassination changed the course of history and he would have done amazing things as president.
Winning the nomination over Grant and Blaine - In 1880, Garfield performed a miracle by winning the Republican nomination over Grant and Blaine and he didn’t even intend to run for president. This was a good thing because Blaine was known to be CORRUPT and Grant while he was a great president presided over A lot of corruption in his cabinet and he was who Conkling wanted. Garfield went on to win the election and become a great president. Or at least he would have done that if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN’S bullet. His assassination changed the course of history and he would have done amazing things as president.
Preventing the democrats from taking office for the 6th election in a row - In 1880 the Republican Party had won the last 5 elections and were looking to win a 6th. This was almost impossible as it hadn’t been done since the Democratic republicans in the 1820s but they didn’t really run against any other parties. The Republicans won 5 by defeating the democrats 5 times. Garfield narrowly won a 6th with 0.11% of the vote but HE GOT THE JOB DONE. After being elected Garfield abolished the slavery and secession supporting Democratic Party. Or at least he would have done that if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN’S bullet. His assassination changed the course of history and he would have done amazing things as president.
Owning Conkling - Roscoe Conkling was a Senator from New York who had a big sway in who the president could appoint to his cabinet, being a senator himself and having supporters in the senate. Garfield managed to stop him by APPOINTING HIS RIVAL as Collector of the Port of New York. Conkling resigned in protest hoping he would be instantly reinstated. But the New York Legislator. CALLED HIS BLUFF, and he was not elected back to the Senate. Conkling was out and Garfield could make the appointments he wants and was able to pass the bills he wanted. Or at least he would have done that if he wasn’t CUT DOWN BY AN ASSASSIN’S bullet. His assassination changed the course of history and he would have done amazing things as president.
