God damn. You have to hand it to the Scots.

They come into a city, climb every memorial statue to place stolen traffic cones on the stone heads, and because they're wearing tartan skirts when they're doing it, many are showing off their nether regions in the process. Oh, and they have drank the city dry.

Anyone else who tried to do this would be in jail.

If they were arrested, the DA better not let me onto the jury, because they'd go free.

They cleaned up the garbage everywhere afterward to save the regular crews the extra bother. Even the garbage guys would be glad to have them back.

The Scot supporters in the crowd and the Scottish team themselves looked like soccer hooligans “straight from central casting.” And the Scot players seemed to really enjoy just slamming into the other team’s players. I saw so many slow-motion Scot players flying thru the air and falling down onto the pitch with twisted expressions, it became comical.

I’ve been watching a lot more soccer than I expected to.

…do those performative injury drops. I only watched the highlights but I thought the refs were strongly biased toward Morocco. I heard the commenter saying he liked how the refs were letting the game flow. I have to say I am disappointed that football, like many other sports are so lacking in sportsmanship, breaking the rules of the game, with great risk of injury, and then pretend they didn’t know they broke a rule. Sociopathy is everywhere.
