Perhaps it might seem strange to some people to praise the player who decided not to take the decisive free kick. What those people might not understand is that De Bruyne, by choosing to step away, was absolutely taking responsibility. In the process, he was also demonstrating why he had the captain’s armband on his sleeve.
Deferring to Mahrez highlighted De Bruyne’s other special quality – he is a selfless superstar

Saturday Memories
A few weeks ago, my wife and I decided to treat ourselves and wanted to make sure we’d remember this difficult 2020-2021 in a positive light.
We had our photos taken by @FlaneriePhoto on an early morning in the City. Love how it turned out!
Don’t be fooled – the Super League clubs gambled everything and they blew it
Fantastic breakdown of the awful and disastrous European Super League on @TheAthletic today!

Happy @Offspring release day! 🤘🏼 🎸 🔥

This resonates heavily!
“Stop looking for a place you fit in. The world I’ve created for myself, the friends that I have, that’s my world. There’s not another country or place to go to. I accept being different, and I enjoy it.”

People who have known me for over 5 years know of my love of indie publications! Stoked to have supported @CourierMedia for years and even more so since @DanielGiaco joined!

Thank you @laurenzcollins — I’ve been so flabbergasted by this monstrosity!
If we could at least not call these ‘tacos’, everything would be better in the world 😅🌯
My first concert was on April 14th, 2004. (First concert away from going with my parents, etc.) Ever since then, something interesting has ALWAYS happened on April 14th. Let’s see if it all goes according to plan tomorrow :)
The other thing that drives me 🍌/🥜 is organizing social group gatherings (which are illegal for the time being BTW). Sometimes it’s really tiring living in a country where the default culture is to do as you please, regardless of official government guidelines… 🤬😤
Having a hard time empathising with French people going on holidays to Spain rn. Besides the legally-gray area (we’re currently in lockdown), the audacity of traveling abroad while the pandemic rages on feels incredibly selfish. We’re barely supposed to leave our 10km radius.
We’re on another snow alert until tomorrow afternoon but here I am squeezing in a quick run… 🤷🏻♂️ 🥶
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Thank you and well-done, Maryland!
