You don't Che.

I better Marx this one in my calendar.

To show you that I'm Prada you, I'm going to Trotsky over to the kitchen and made Du Bois a Pol Pot of chili.

And let me Lenin you in a secret. That's it... Camus a little closer.

But before you Castro-gate me, try it.

I'm not being Nagy, I just believe it is the greatest chili ever to cross Mao Tse-tung.

Interesting read that! 48% of youth players in the US are female That's pretty amazing No wonder your female team is good!

Didn't like this paragraph though:

But even if those stereotypes were true, when it comes to international competition, where patriotism and tribalism are driving factors, the quality of football isn’t always a driving factor for fans. For instance, fans still support substandard national teams in the men’s game: look at Scotland and the long-suffering yet committed Tartan Army.
