I’ve never heard people talk about the 90’s before. Don’t know why they would be interested in it. It was a boring decade. Bad music, bad movies and by the looks of Idaho pizza-bad food.

Posted in: Fury, sadness in Indonesia after FIFA pulls Under-20 World Cup See in context

Very strange decision from Indonesia to advocate not allowing certain citizens into their country. Especially when they only qualify by being a host. Give the young lads a chance.
