galenkia Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Visitors being advised to take burner phones as the mandatory app you need gives the authorities complete access to spy on your phone.

If they did they can take a late lunch and make the other hour up during the week. Only one person said yes so show's the interest, and a few of us are football fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infantino, despite admitting things weren’t perfect, said some criticism was “profoundly unjust” and accused the West of double standards. ...
