Is their a city/town in a foreign country that has a hilarious name in your language?

Recently, the town changed their name to "Fugging", because people kept stealing their signs, which I don't think really makes it that much better. 😂

Should FIFA be doing more to crack down on racism at their events?

Shown here was a clip of an Argentina supporter shouting racist remarks and making monkey gestures at popular streamer, IShowSpeed. Other clips of Speed facing racist insults during his streams at the World Cup.

Needless to say, this behavior has no place at event that attracts an audience as diverse as the World Cup does. What, if anything, can FIFA do to mitigate this?

Where do people in your country prefer to get their food when they're drunk off their ass at midnight?

I am 90% sure that Taco Bell's menu was specifically designed to be perfect for this exact occasion.

What song do you listen to when you need some extra motivation?

Personally, I throw on Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. Listening to that song makes you feel like you're ready to take on the world.

The first round of matches in the World Cup have concluded. How would you rate your teams performance?

I'd give Team USA a solid 9/10 for their performance against Paraguay. We looked pretty dominant out there.

Does your country have any infamous, sports-related "curses"?

In Philadelphia, whenever the fans of an away team put their jersey on the Rocky statue before playing the Eagles, they always end up losing.

​

Unfortunately, Ecuador supporters had to learn this the hard way in their last match against Cote d'Ivoire.

Is there something that you were taught in history class that you later found out was completely false?

I'm not sure if the curriculum has changed since I was in school, but it was quite common for us to be taught that before Columbus arrived in the Americas, most of Europe believed that the Earth was flat, and the primary reason why he struggled to get his voyages approved was that people were fearful that he was going to sail off the edge of the Earth is he sailed too far out West.

​

Of course, this is completely false. It had been widely accepted fact that Earth is a sphere since the times of Ancient Greece.
