I was curious and googled for "Walovi", and found out that it is just the good old Wong Lo Kat (王老吉). The drink isn't as ubiquitous in Malaysia, but it tastes just like your typical Chinese herbal tea (凉茶) sold here, syrupy with just a tiny bit of bitterness.
Most southerners I know literally prefer 板蓝根,literal medicine, to Wanglovi. Let that sink in lol.

It tastes disgusting from what I’ve heard and is an acquired taste.
What? Hell no! It's delicious, very agreeable taste from the first sip. Herbal hint to iced tea; people suck down 6 cans when they sit for hot pot. It's so good it even has a bootleg called Jia Duo Bao, which is the Pepsi to Wang Lao Ji's coke. I've never heard it being called Walovi before though...

An embarrassing end to this world cup.
If it's any consolation it must have really stuck in his craw to see Spain win after all he's said about them recently - including threatening to end all trade relations. It just goes to show though what a pathetic little man he is - this was the team's moment, but he had to get himself into it somehow.

Nice to see King Felipe there hugging members of the team as they came to him - can't imagine King Charles doing that!

For myself I'm glad that North Gibraltar prevailed over West Falklands.

He looks like he's having a hard time. Spain's prime minister Sanchez openly declares his humanitarian anti-Zionist views and disapproval of America's aggression in Iran. Trump talked shit to him and he didn't give a fuck. He goes right to China to score some deals that are better than anything America could offer. Now Spain's national team just took the most coveted prize of the year in the US and Trump no doubt did all he could to crook up the refs to prevent it. Now he has to endorse the result.

I don't follow soccer but the Spanish team is some seriously impressive shit this year. I learned that they fought 38 consecutive international matches undefeated and they conceded only 1 goal to an enemy team for their entire World Cup run. Argentina fought admirably pushing Spain into time extension at 0-0, but I heard that they barely were even allowed to get within a third of the field distance to Spain's goalpost before Spain's defense forced them to turnover ball control; they really didn't have any good chances at all and Messi was completely shut down. I really hope we can have the Spanish team over and learn from them. Of course, we will reciprocate... not economically or anything, but we can teach them weigthlifting/table tennis/diving and they can teach us soccer.
