I didn’t know you could drink in public in France lol
Discussion
They are actually pretty chill
As much as you like
I had no idea until this trip . It’s not like a big deal like the US where they try to forbid it any it makes ppl want to do it more. It’s just accepted just don’t be a drunkard causing problems
Spain, Italy, France, Portugal all drink in a much more social way. Us Brits go over and run it of course on our package holidays
*ruin
Yeah my family is the same way. Binge drinking is frowned upon but we drink wine or beer with dinner . We have coffee with desert after too which I saw they also do in Spain
Brits def have a reputation as binge drinkers here lolll
Well deserved
You guys are the Americans of Europe
Except with decent beer
We have amazing beer it’s just on a micro brew level. Not exported out
That’s very true nowadays. Love the micro breweries in the US. Well I did, but no more 😭😂
Can’t judge American beer on Budweiser and coors 😂
Why not ? Nothing like a blanket generalisation to force a point 😂
When i first started going to the US you hardly came across any micro breweries. Now there’s loads of great ones everywhere
Yeah they are everywhere now it’s great . Used to be more niche even 10 years ago
Same with soccer. They used to laugh at you over there for asking if they had any decent ball games like football. Now they all bloody love it 😂
Eh it’s def growing in popularity but still pretty niche . They love American football like a cult . I like soccer tho it just sucks we are bad at it still . At least we fired our team USA coach after that embarrassing tourney
You’re way better than you used to be though, those were shocking games 15 years ago. Like local UK division. Less skill more violence 😂
Yeah for sure but we expect to be the best at everything so it won’t go mainstream until we can compete at the highest level
I usually end up rooting for Italy and even they have been bad lately
True, but America needs to chill the fuck out and stop needing to conquer the World. Enjoy a nice Sunday game, a decent roast, a few pints and a moan about the tactics
That’s asking a lot
Yep. No guns in the locker room either 😂
I was telling nostr:npub1r26a5zxhp27rdvuswa9c097p5fprvy45pwjsyk0s7t4j5v97z7vsxl0rtf we need to figure out how to make soccer cool in the inner cities and attract the black ppl to get interested
See Rand0 , now you’ve chilled with a glass of wine and immersed yourself in Euro culture you’ve forgotten all about the 58K debacle 😂
Yup not checking price getting drunk and chilling by the beach instead
No, uncle rand0 is right. If we can't dominate, what's the point?
Usually the case. This playing for quarter finals nonsense is not in our culture lol
Also, I find ties distasteful. Just flip a coin if you have to. Someone needs to have won.
I will say I do like English soccer where the loser has to go to a lower league and good teams can advance. That appeals to me. Flush the turds, promote the people who try hard. Oddly American, something we don't have in any leagues college or pro
Ties should always go to penalty kicks
Agree re soccer. I also like the new CFB rules where they have to start going for two. I like CFB > NFL overtime in general.
Cfb is better than nfl in general lol I can’t watch the nfl too much dancing
CFB is miserable to watch if you follow a team. Only like 1/3 of the games are actually competitive if your team has a chance to win it all
How else are they going to be able to deal with the fact that they live in France?
Ngl it’s really nice on the Mediterranean . I flipped my opinion on them they cool with me now
Same in Germany.
In British Columbia, people are allowed to shoot heroin in public parks, but not drink alcohol. We have our priorities straight in Canada.
