@Salmon Mousse now leads the scoreboard with 3.836 point, followed by @Bibliogryphon with 3.634 points. Third place is @TomTomTelekom, who has scored 1.826 point. (Sorry, @Salmon Mousse, but it was late yesterday, so I falsely scored Mr. Negishi for Africa, not for Asia. One point had to be removed, I apologize.)

Thank you

Hit for Salmon

This looks very grim indeed. While the cameras shouldn't be showing the CPR, I'm not sure what the broadcasters can realistically do other than show scenes from the stadium. Ah, and the BBC have cut back to the studio.

As one who predicted a Swiss 2-1 victory, I was hoping that it'd stand, but fairly clear offside, even without VAR. Still, it wasn't the worst thing about the match, that would be Robbie Savage's commentary. He's the guy you don't want to get stuck next to if if you're watching in a pub.

All downhill from here!

Brazil's Vice Presidents just can't seem to stay alive, only two former VPs alive: Jose Sarney, VP 1985 and also former President, Michel Temer 2016-2018.

Marco Maciel, Vice President of Brazil to Fernando Henrique Cardoso, reported dead: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/nacional/2021/06/12/aos-80-anos-morre-o-ex-vice-presidente-marco-maciel

This one was natural but I can see that we'll see a lot of premature youtuber/tiktoker deaths soon. Even child actors usually have shorter lifespans due to having to "deal with the fame and it's downsides", now imagine children who have tens of thousands of fans and probably hundreds or more of people who hate them, stalkers sharing their locations online (I've heard that this has happened to atleast one person while searching the web)...

He’ll be as right as rain...

What's the outlook?

Norma Shearer, one of the famed Hollywood stars of the 20's and 30's, died of Alzheimer's and bronchial pneumonia at the Motion Picture and Television Country Hospital in Woodland Hills, California on this date in 1983. She was 80 years old. Norma Shearer won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in "The Divorcee" (1930). Her career started in the silent era and she became a big star, during the 30's and after marrying Irving Thalberg, MGM's production chief at the time, and became the "first lady of MGM". Shearer gave up acting to live a private life in 1942. She was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California, in the Great Mausoleum, with her first husband, Irving Thalberg.
