Holland might just be the UEFA country Russia is least popular in at the moment* but this seems a bit extreme.

Rank #7 with 1 Russian in my team who scored points (and another who didn't play)

*Ukraine probably outhates us and lord knows who else but still

People going to the World Cup should really be able to avoid the cheap vodka. Or was it for the cultural experience?

For German TV it should most definitely have a "Bashing Russian politics and doping" segment. That was AIDS yesterday, Jesus Christ.

I'm 100% with Mehmet Scholl on this. Celebrate the goddamned sporting event and - FOR ONCE - shut your holes about how much you hate Russia.

tbh, there's kinda no such thing imo. Vodka is the lobotomy of spirits (and even in the realm of vodka, russian standard is meh)

I agree that Russian standard isn't good but not that all vodka is bad

Finlandia is fine imo

I prefer vodka to most spirits. Let's face it, alcohol tastes like ****. At least vodka doesn't make it worse by adding unnecessary crap like Jägermeister etc do.

I have it Stolichnaya > Absolut > Russian Standard/Smirnoff but I dont think I drank Russian Standard more than once and more often than not I mix my vodka, so I guess my opinion is invalid anyway

vodka is the worst, only spirit where high quality means it doesn't taste like what it's supposed to taste like. Whiskey, brandy, and dark rum

...I mean, it's not really a controversial statement. It's why people can drink beer like water and shudder after a shot of a 40%vol beverage.

just stop while you're well behind

also, things like beer and wine absolutely fall under the "alcohol" branch

That’s not because of the taste, it’s because drinking spirits like water would kill you.

Lol. I meant the actual substance. Beer tastes great because it contains only 5% of it. If if had 40% like Schnaps, people wouldn't drink it.

Same problem, though it's more like 1km

Pretty sure I'll be able to watch the first half though.
