Pick a lane, Buddy!
Gay rights or Iranian women or whatever the third one was on the front of his shirt. I can't be bothered to check in case it means I accidentally have to watch some soccer.

The Ultimate Terrorist confirmed. He is ALL levels of security risk.

I think he was protesting ALL THE THINGS. Front of his shirt was "Save Ukraine"

The flag also had something written on it also.

This secures his personal invitation from Trudeau for Canadian living.

I bet that less than half of the 6,500 murdered slaves were female.
Now they've really committed an atrocity!!

Hey, can anyone find out for me where the real, as-used-in-games ball is made? Not the souvenir one, but the legit one that Ronaldo is scoring with. Reading the souvenir ones are made 8n Pakistan and Indonesia, but nothing about where the real ball is made.

Kthxbye

Supposedly Indonesia.

Which ball is used in Qatar World Cup?
Al Rihla, the official match ball for Qatar 2022, is being manufactured in Indonesia's East Java province.

But is it charged by USB-C?

[DonJuan]

There's a device inside the on field ball that records many things, position, gyroscope, impact etc.

It was how they determined that Ronaldo did not score in the Portugal/Uruguay game. Despite Ronaldo's tantrum that he scored.

Article below that describes the Connected Ball tech.

"In the match between Portugal and Uruguay, using the Connected Ball Technology housed in adidas's Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we are able to definitively show no contact on the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo for the opening goal in the game," a FIFA statement read.

"No external force on the ball could be measured as shown by the lack of 'heartbeat' in our measurements. The 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball allows us to be highly accurate in our analysis."

The match ball made by Adidas includes technology that can provide real-time data to match officials. It can also capture every touch made by the players with sensors, introduced to help with judging offsides.

How many migrant workers did they murder in Indonesia to make the balls?
State your answer in units of Qatars, where 1 Qatar = 6,500 dead migrant workers.

I don't think that's true...
I think there are more Muslims in India than any other country. Russell Peters told me that and I paid him $80. I ain't never paid ES shit for Shinola! So I trust RP.

Well, shit.
Indonesia still sounds chill, though.
