I’m going through some old Upper Deck 1994 World Cup cards, and found something weird. Aside from the special promo hologram set, there are no Germany cards in either the 1993 Preview or 1994 Contenders sets. Was there some weird licensing issue or something? #cardsky

Well, that goal right before the half is the perfect sign not to stay up for the rest of this one. Goodnight, Loons fans! #COLvsMIN #MNUFC #MLS

I saw a black BMW with a blackout license plate that said, “SIUUUU,” on my commute home, and I’ve never been more sure that someone I haven’t seen, met, or interacted with is an insufferable douchebag.

If you told me that RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart would be carrying the flag for the Bundesliga Agenda this week while Bayern and Dortmund struggled against Norwegian opposition in the Champions League this week, I would not have believed you. (OK, maybe I would have believed that Dortmund would.)

I would invite anyone to compare WWII aircraft bomb payloads to modern ones, among other things. Like the fact that WWII aircraft could be downed with approximately zero effort by modern fighters before they could even see/detect them. Not to mention range and loitering capabilities, so many others

It was in 2019! It was amazing, a giant inflatable colon that had polyps and things in it to encourage people to get their colonoscopies, etc. One of the Huskies’ main sponsors is one of the local health systems.

Jürgen Klopp needs to do whatever is necessary to get Nicoló Tresoldi to commit to Germany (he’s also eligible for Italy). The 22 year old Germany youth international scored a hattrick for Club Brügge in the Champions League against Inter, today! #DFBTeam

Matthäus was the 1st outfield player to appear in 5 World Cups (and 2nd overall), appearing for West Germany/Germany in 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998. He’s the most capped German player of all time, having played in 150 matches for West Germany/Germany from 1980-2000.

Soccer cards from my childhood #2 Lothar Matthäus Upper Deck, 1994. My great-uncle got me a pack of these holographic versions of some of the Germany team that Upper Deck made for the 1994 World Cup. I think I was mostly a fan of Matthäus as a kid because I thought he had a cool name. 😆 #cardsky

Not a lot of guys I recognize, to be honest. Fun to see some of the clubs in the set, like Oldham! Did pull these, though.
1990/91 England FA Pro Set cards for Paul Ince, Nigel Clough, Roy Keane, and Vinny Jones.

Also, if I were a betting man, I would bet this is just another lie, like most, if not all, of the outlandish AI company claims.
