Olympic Flag Wars: Round 1

To celebrate the ongoing Olympic Games, this tournament will focus on the flags of Olympic host cities, including both summer and winter Olympics. For simplicity’s sake, I will be using the modern flags of these cities rather than the flag and country names from the time of the city’s Olympics. Not every host city has a flag, so not all of them will be included. I hope everyone enjoys this tournament!

Round 1:

1. Athens, Greece vs. Seoul, South Korea vs. Montreal, Canada vs. Stockholm, Sweden

2. Munich, Germany vs. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil vs. Sochi, Russia vs. Tokyo, Japan

3. Barcelona, Spain vs. Berlin, Germany vs. Antwerp, Belgium vs. Moscow, Russia

4. Atlanta, Georgia vs. Melbourne, Australia vs. Nagano, Japan vs. Calgary, Alberta

5. Turin, Italy vs. Helsinki, Finland vs. Paris, France vs. Sydney, Australia

6. Innsbruck, Austria vs. St. Louis, Missouri vs. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Grenoble, France

7. St. Moritz, Switzerland vs. Vancouver, British Columbia vs. Los Angeles, California vs. Salt Lake City, Utah

8. Rome, Italy vs. Amsterdam, Netherlands vs. London, England vs. Sapporo, Japan vs. Oslo, Norway

relative to urself, not to the countries they're in or by the (varying) guidelines for what's a city vs a town etc- like if there's a city near u that's the same size as worchester, would u consider that a big city?

[itstokkii]

I have a lot of Balkan and Turkish friends and we always like to joke about how the Balkans definitely like to tease Turkey about stuff from the past while they all go out and drink together. Or they sometimes just show up uninvited to crash at Turkey’s place and they spend the night eating sunflower seeds on the couch and watching crappy old school TV drama’s.

Drives me mad how some people make Turkey abusive towards the countries that used to be under the Ottoman Empire. The only other character I see that gets this treatment often is Russia.

I think it can be interesting to explore past empires relations with their rulers/governments and how much say they actually had in how things were done (and I mean this is interesting to explore with the Hetalia characters in general imo) bet it’s very telling when some people are like “yep England/France/etc were forced but Turkey was 100% on board with everything” like… that’s just weird. I don’t think we have to make the nations completely agree with their governments on everything all of the time or be unable to have a personality and their own ideas separate from their rulers but it’s strange to say the least when people pick and choose who this applies to.

ahh I like that headcanon! or maybe turkey also crashes at their place sometimes too!

I wonder if this general treatment of the balkans' relationship to turkey is because many place the colonizer/colonized relationship as a monolith with no nuance to it... and turkey colonized many regions, not just the balkans. I feel each of them were treated a bit different, so at the end of the day it's important to listen to people from those regions.

its a bit confusing to think of what the country personification would do when it comes to oppressive govts, plans of invasion, etc. I like to think that because the country represents both the government and people, I would place the country's stance based on the people.

ex: south korea during the military dictatorship -> people largely opposed it and secretly tried to spread democracy -> korea is absolutely unwilling to do as the government says, has no choice, but sides with the people at the end of the day and may even aid their democratization efforts

if it was a policy like invasion of a land, and the people were on board with it as well, I would place the country to side with the invasion whether it was a good-natured policy or not. france, russia, and heck most western empires fall under this category. the mischaracterization of poc in this fandom, like with turkey always being the assaulter/abuser and france "crying in bed in 2005 thinking about his warcrimes in north africa" roots from racism imo. "oriental barbarian" vs "the civilized french gentleman" type beat.

B4R2: The Extinction

We Didn't Start the Fire:

“I mean. It's kinda obvious”

It's the End of the World as we Know It:

“It's in the title. The song is all about "the terrible change", so to speak, watching everyone and everything you know fall away. It's chaotic and fast, evoking the feeling of being trapped in a disaster. It may be cliché, but IMO, this is the definitive Extinction song.”

… That's great, it starts with an earthquake Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

… Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn World serves its own needs Don't mis-serve your own needs Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength The ladder starts to clatter With a fear of height, down, height Wire in a fire, represent the seven games And a government for hire and a combat site Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry With the Furies breathing down your neck

… Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped Look at that low plane, fine, then Uh oh, overflow, population, common group But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light Feeling pretty psyched

… It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

… Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

HELLO THE 3 STRAGGLERS THAT ARE PROBABLY SEEING MY POSTS STILL, I HAVE MISSED THOU!

Happy world cup month, it is time for the biggest stage of the game and time for be to drop my obnoxious predictions that no one asked for but I'm gonna give anyways!

Here are my group predictions and notes

GROUP A:

I think Norway is gonna make a comeback and come in at #2 behind local New Zealand. The Swiss are great if they can rise to the occasion, and the Philippines has a great young core. They'll give us some very fun games going forward.

A1: New Zealand, A2: Norway.

GROUP B:

Honestly I think this is one of the TIGHTEST groups of this cup. With a fight down to the end I think it'll come down to goals and Fairplay. Depending on the result of Day 1 Canada vs Nigeria my picks are switching depending on the light with which I look at the table. SO.

B1: Australia (2W, 1D), B2: Nigeria (2D, 1W, Goal difference leaving Canada behind by ONE goal in a total group heartbreaker)

Group C:

Despite the big players refusing to play I think Spain has it in the tank for a great cup. If the Ticas can show some discipline they might surprise, but they're up against the TITANS of discipline so.

C1: Spain, C2: Japan

Group D:

Euro winners have one hell of a team. No notes for them today, second place is what is up for grabs. Haiti is always a dark horse pick but I think mettle and the money for great player health and conditioning will draw this one out so.

D1: England, D2: Denmark.

Group E:

One hell of a group here. Without Viv Midema the Netherlands is missing that finishing punch, but if they can bank on winning their other 2 games and forcing a draw or a one goal win with the US, they can go for first. Portugal is good but they have a lot of youth to adjust to the big stage. Vietnam has a delightful proposal and they play some very fun futbol, but they had the unfortunate luck of drawing 2 titans of the women's game.

E1: USA, E2: Netherlands

Group F:

The elderly stateswomen meet the bright eyed newcomers. Brazil is the titan of South America but they've proven to be way too rigid in their team selection. France is shaking off the cobwebs of a shit coach to see how far they can take it this time. Jamaica and Panama have everything to prove to show that 1. they belong here and 2. their federations NEED to stand in this fight with them. Despite the great teams I think this group is gonna be one of those low scoring ones where teams are making adjustments on the fly and we might get a surprise or two from some games.

F1: France, F2: Brazil (but just narrowly edging out Jamaica)

Group G:

Youth and a desire to prove that it's not only their men's team that know what's up. Argentina is pulling one hell of a legacy behind them, Italy is building a beautiful squad, South Africa comes up from fighting a war of speed and strength, Sweden has a chip on their shoulder. One hell of a group!

G1: Italy, G2: Argentina

Group H:

QUE VIVA COLOMBIA HP! An aging titan in Germany with some key injuries, a very disciplined squad that has been testing some amazing set plays and learning how to play through the lines in South Korea (but that tire out quickly), a fast and tough team that plays a fun midfield game with a solid defense in Morocco. And finally, a team composed of the women who paved the way for the youngsters, the maximum scorer in a Colombia jersey, a midfield filled with aggression and experience, a promising defense all led by the most promising young international that already took one team to a world cup final, Colombia promises a LOT to her fans. If Abadia can get his head out of his ass and learn how to make changes before exhaustion takes hold, this team can take it far!

H1: Germany, H2: Colombia

It's an amazing time to be a woso fan!

(Women's) World Cup

I have been too busy trying not to get too behind on everything, so I haven't had time to post much lately. But I'm completely obsessed with the World Cup at the moment.

I've only been able to watch the few games that aren't in the middle of the night in my time zone, but I've been keeping up with the tournament by reading the Guardian's minute-by-minute blogs after the fact, and watching the highlights.

And it's been super exciting, with lots of big surprises!

For example, the US only barely made it to the next round, and the teams eliminated at the group stage unexpectedly include Canada (I had been very pleased to discover Christine Sinclair was still playing--she's 40!), Brazil (which is very disappointing--this was Marta's last time and she's a legend, and I love the team's style of play, plus they wear yellow), and perhaps most shockingly, Germany!

Group H was the most fun. Watching Colombia play in the group stage was exciting--they were really on fire in their first two matches (and I loved both their kits--they wear yellow as their preferred uniform, and the alternate outfit is purple shirts with astronomy designs and yellow shorts), but then they lost to Morocco, the lowest ranked team in the tournament! Morocco, despite getting thrashed by Germany in their first match, somehow managed to pull off two victories (including against Colombia), while South Korea, after losing twice, managed to hold Germany to a draw, and so both Colombia and Morocco advance to the next round! (Do yourself a favor and watch the video of the moment when Morocco, having finished their match, saw the end of the simultaneous match that would determine their fate and learned that they were going to the Round of 16. It was pandemonium. I cried!)

I was a little upset to see that of the eight games in the Round of 16, three of them feature a nation playing against their colonizers: South Africa vs. Netherlands, Morocco vs. France, and Nigeria vs. England. Ooof. Here's hoping at least one of these underdogs can win!

The teams I'm currently rooting for are:

Any non-European team that wears yellow. The ones still in the tournament as of my writing this post are: South Africa, Colombia, Jamaica, and Australia. Not sure how good any of their chances are, and Colombia will play against Jamaica in this round so only one of them can go through. But on the bright side, that means at least one yellow team will be playing in the quarterfinals!

Japan. They've been really versatile and have modified their style of play strategically to exploit their opponents' weaknesses, and they are fun to watch.

Any colonized country playing their colonizer.

I... don't really have a horse in the race for the Sweden vs. USA match. I don't think the USWNT played well at all in the group stage, and I like the idea of other teams catching up so it's more competitive, and Sweden wears yellow. But at the same time, I also do want to see the USWNT play well, so...

Group Stage Update

I have been busy being a tourist in New Zealand, which is a beautiful country, and have not had time to sit down and talk through all the games happening. Groups A, B, and C have already played their last group stage games and teams have moved on to the knockout round, and other teams will do the same in the next three days. 

Group A

Group A was the wildest group by far, with each team getting at least one win. This meant that each team had the ability to advance to the knockout stage with a win in their last game. Switzerland ended up winning the group with a win and two ties, and Norway took second place with only one win and one tie. The last games were probably the least dramatic–Norway steamrolled the Philippines 6-0, and Switzerland held New Zealand to a 0-0 tie. It was a hard game to watch, as Switzerland seemed to be playing for the tie instead of a win, while New Zealand threw everything they had at the game and still came up short.

Group B

This group also had some chaos, with the marquee teams Australia and Canada both struggling, and both needing a win against the other to move on. But it wasn't the close match a lot of people expected, Australia ended up dominating 4-0, preventing Canada, the current Olympic gold-medalists, from moving out of group stage. Big Oof. Nigeria also qualified for the knockout stage, with two 0-0 ties, and a surprise win over Australia, which seems to have kicked the host country into action before their Canada game. Maybe they owe Nigeria a thank you?

Group C

This was a classic group stage–no ties, no upsets. Japan won all three games, including a decisive 4-0 win against Spain, even though Spain held 77% possession. Japan's counterattack is LETHAL. For their part, Spain won pretty easily against the other two group opponents, but they will need to be on their toes in the knockout stage.

Group D

This is another group shaping up to be a classic group stage with no upsets–but although the results look normal, the games have been anything but. Haiti has kept both of their games to only 1-0 losses, and England has only had 1-0 wins. England can go through with a win or a tie, but could technically get knocked out if both Denmark and China with with goal differentials greater than 2. Math is fun!!

Group E

USA play tonight against Portugal, and need a win or a tie to go through. Although both USA and Netherlands are slated to go through, either team could get knocked out by an upset. I'm stressed.

Group F

F is for…France? Fail? Freedom? Right now, France and Jamaica are the top two teams in the group. If things go as expected in their games tomorrow, France and Brazil will be the top two. But none of the games in this group have been "as expected". I'll be at the France vs. panama game in Sydney tomorrow night. Allez les Blues! 

Group G

Sweden has locked in their path to the world cup with two wins, but any other team could be the second team to go through. Argentina has a tough task with their last game against Sweden, but Italy and South Africa will literally be battling head to head for the last spot. Italy could get through with a win or a tie, while South Africa needs an outright win. 

Group H

Colombia has surprised the world by beating Germany for their second win, locking them in for the group stage. Germany did generally play well and will likely take the second spot, barring any HUGE upset by South Korea, but that's not impossible after two upsets in their last three games (Zambia and Colombia).

Trip to Korea, September 2024 - Day 3: Beer Beer Beer and Beer

On the third day, we ate and drank a lot.

3日��は爆食・爆飲。朝からソルロンタン、晩ごはんにサムギョプサル、夜食にカンジャンケジャン...！めちゃくちゃ食べまくりました。そして間を縫うようにビール屋さんを「これでもかっ！」ってくらいハシゴ。

◾️Seoul Brewery 서울브루어리 성수

📍서울 성동구 연무장길 28-12

今回の旅で行きたかったところの一つ、聖水にある「Seoul Brewery」！私が訪問するのは3回目かな。

🍺1回目（2023年8月）

🍺2回目（2024年6月）

いつきてもかっこいい建物ですな！

オープン時間が11:00だったのにも関わらず、10:30くらいについちゃったので、ちょっとだけ時間を潰して訪問。

1Fは早い時間からオープンしてたから、そこでもよかったんだけど、せっかくだったらビールの種類が多そうな2Fに行きたかったので。

（ソンスではめちゃくちゃPOP-UPが開催されていたこともあり、相変わらず賑わっていた...！今一番トレンドなエリアと言われているのも頷ける混み合い具合でした）

メニューと注文はQRコードからできるけど、IPA PLATTERの4種類がなんなのかはお兄さんの説明が頼り。

▲私はPLATTER（飲み比べ）じゃなくて、単品の限定商品 　JAZZ FOR REST FRUITS IPA / 4.0% FRUITS IPA を注文！

イベント限定で醸造されたビールで、GUAVAを使ったIPA。少しフルーツの甘みはありながらも、飲みやすいタイプのIPAでした。

友人はIPA PLATTERを頼んだので、355ml（結構なフルサイズ）が4杯到着w メニューに書いてあったけど、全然サイズ見てなかった笑 届いてびっくりしたねw

ちょうど日本でコラボイベントがあったこともあり、右の2つは定番なものの、左の2つは日本のブルワリーとのコラボ。お店の人が気を利かせて入れてくれたんだと思うけど、両方とも味濃い＆アルコール度数高いだったので、飲むのが大変でした...苦笑

◀︎Lucky Sister Double IPA / 7.5% w/ Fukuoka Craft ▶︎KANPAI PHOBIA NEIPA / 6.3% w/ Totopia Brewery

InstagramのフォローかUNTAPPDの評価でもらえるミニサイズ。 （友人は無料なのにも関わらず、355ml×4杯で腹パンになり諦めていた...苦笑）

こちらは...なんだったっけな...比較的飲みやすかった記憶があるので、KRAFT BAY WEST COAST PILSNER だったような気もする。横浜ベイブリューイン��とのコラボね。

たくさん飲みました。

前日にSeoul Gypsyでめちゃくちゃ美味しいビールを飲んで、かなり（いい意味で）ハードルが上がっていたこともあり、楽しかったけどそこまでの感動はなし。やっぱりSeoul Gypsyのレベルの高さすごいなあ...

でも、相変わらずおしゃれで、ソウルで最先端を行くブルワリーだと感じました！さすがである。

この後、Amazing Brewery 어메이징브루잉컴퍼니に行こうかと思っていたのですが、開店時間が15:00とちょっと遅かったこともあり、そこまで時間調整はできず諦めて次のお店へ。（前回のAmazing Breweryへの訪問レビューはこちら。）

▲Seoul Breweryで販売していた、二日酔い対策ドリンクを購入。ちょっとだけ梨のニュアンスがある謎のドリンク（なお、全然美味しくない）。「ケスカン」っていう梨エキスのある二日酔い解消ドリンクがあるから、梨エキスは効くのかな。「DRINK BEFORE DRINKING」と書いてありますが、ゴリゴリにビールを飲んだ後に飲んだので、効果のほどは謎。

◾️タルメクスーパー 달맥슈퍼

📍서울 용산구 녹사평대로54길 7 1층 달맥슈퍼

韓国のクラフトビールの品揃えも比較的多い、角打ちが楽しめるボトルショップ。（前回訪問レビューはこちら）

Seoul BreweryからChillhops Itaewon Projectまでタクシーで行ったのですが、オーストラリアのラグビーの試合で貸切営業をしていたらしく、30分ほどの時間潰しのためにこちらへ。

▲天気が良いので、入口の縁側スペースでビールいただきます。

ここで飲めるの良いよねえ。オープンスペース最高！

店内の冷蔵庫には、国内＋海外のいろんなビールが、スタイルごとに並んでいます。一番手前の2棚が韓国のブルワリーのもの。

（結構ビールじゃないものが棚に増えてきていますねえ。） ↓2023年8月に行った時の棚はこんな感じだった↓

この時に購入してめちゃくちゃ美味しかったやつと、見たことがないビールを購入して角打ちでビールタイム。

◀︎The Three Layers / 4.2% Sour - MysterLee Brewing Co. ▶︎Yuja Gose / 4.5% Sour - Galmegi Breweing

私が買ったYuja Gose、飲み口は完全にシークワサーサワー！笑 ビール感ゼロ！これはもうしっかりとした缶チューハイ！笑 でも缶チューハイの5倍くらいの価格がします。

Galmegi Brewingは釜山のブルワリー。釜山、行ったことがないから、次回はソウルじゃなくて釜山でも良いかもな。

◾️Chillhops Itaewon Project 칠홉스이태원프로젝트

📍서울 용산구 녹사평대로40다길 2 지하1층

こちらも訪問は2回目！（前回訪問レビューはこちら）

オーストラリアvsニュージーランドのラグビーの試合（完全にこれ）でお店の貸切があったこともあり、早い時間ながらもお店は満席。ま、土曜日だからそりゃそうか。

かなり飲みまくっているので、ここでは一杯だけいただきます。

軽めのものが飲みたかったので、「SECRET GARDEN / 4.7% FRUITED GOSE」をいただきます。

相変わらず、ヒップなネオンのインテリアとチルい空気感の良いお店。 あんまり韓国な感じがしないのは、もともとのブルワリーの出自がオーストラリアなのと、欧米系のお客さんがほとんどだからだね。

▲軽やか酸っぱ美味しい❤️

持ち帰り購入の冷蔵庫にもいっぱい気になるやつたくさんあったけど、今回はもう良いかなと思って購入せず。

◾️Craftbros Bottle Shop Taphouse 크래프트브로스

📍서울 서초구 사평대로22길 18 1층

ブルワリー巡りの旅、最後はこちら。2年ぶり2回目のCraftbros Taphouseです。（前回訪問（2022年7月）レビューは...まだ書いてなかった苦笑）

だいぶ腹パンなのと、ビール飲みまくったのでビール疲れしている我々。軽く1杯だけいただきます。

9月末ということもあって、No.6以降のタップが全部ドイツ・オクトーバーフェスト系のビール。なので、自然と選択肢はNo.1〜No.5の自社ビールの中から選ぶことに。

◀︎Super IPA / 6.2% NEIPA ▶︎Wonder DDH New England Pale Ale / 5.7% NEPA

結構早い段階で韓国でクオリティの高いNEIPA作ってたり、Westcoast Brewingとコラボしたり、CraftGinを作ってたり、先進的なイメージのブルワリーだったけど、だいぶ落ち着いちゃったなあ。重ね重ねだけど、Seoul Gypsyのクオリティが高かったのもあり、美味しいんだけどコマーシャルブルワリー感が出ちゃった感じもあるね。

これで、現時点のUNTAPPDのCountry Top Brewery の South Korea の中でSeoulのトップ4は訪問達成！

とてもよく飲みました🍺✨

Argentine Rugby Los Pumas will play host to France in two test matches.

The Argentine Rugby Union declared on Thursday that Argentina will play a one-off international against neighboring Uruguay and host France in two tests in July, marking their first match since the Rugby World Cup of last year.

The first test between the French visitors will take place in Mendoza on July 6 and the second match will take place in Buenos Aires on July 13 at the Velez Sarsfield stadium.

On July 20, Argentina will next cross the border to play Uruguay at Maldonado. The three tests are in preparation for this year’s Rugby Championship, which the Pumas begin with two away clashes against New Zealand, starting in Wellington on Aug. 10 and then Auckland on Aug. 17.

Argentina then host Australia at La Plata on Aug. 31 and Santa Fe seven days later before another home game against World Cup winners South Africa in Santiago del Estero on Sept. 21 and in Nelspruit on Sept. 28.  How to watch the 2024 July rugby union tests on TV
