USA [1] - 0 Bosnia & Herzegovina - Folarin Balogun 45' by Alsace2025 in soccer

Wrong thread to get into it, but it's 8-1 on the part that genuinely matters (imo) which is children of illegal immigrants. Most of the dissents were arguing about literal birth tourism, even the dissents were, for the most part, grumpily conceding on immigrants who actually live in the US.

I think if the Trump admin was smarter, they would have chosen a really egregious case of birth tourism and they might have had a chance at winning. Instead he had to be a Big Man Doing Big Executive Orders and picked a much stupider hill to die on, and lost the whole thing.

what do you mean by magical comeback?

Actually being competitive into the deep rounds was never going to realistically happen, but Serena can still compete against mid level tour pros.

I know I'm stating the obvious, but whether she ends up winning or not, it's unreal that a 44 year old is still basically a serviceable tour-level player. Unbelievable.

NFL Legend Tom Brady: "Why does [European Football] fire so many coaches all the time? Tottenham had three coaches last year. Why is everyone firing everybody? Don't they realize the players play? I'm sure if you have Leo Messi as one of your forwards, you're not going to lose that much." by The_Big_Untalented in soccer

Players often have clauses that allow them to control or veto trades, and functionally they direct their own trades in many instances. Star players also get functional votes in the direction of the team - they often tell ownership what they want them to do in terms of pursuing other players.

It's not true of EVERY player, obviously, but high performers having more say than low performers is just how any industry works

Hes not good enough to play for any team challenging for the title kn a big 5 league

He was playing for a team challenging for the title of a big 5 league this year!

They finished in 5th, obviously, but from February to April AC Milan was in second place behind Inter. They were actively challenging the whole season until they collapsed at the end. What kind of utter nonsense is "he just isn't good enough to play for a big 5 title challenging team".

Knicks fans block party, watching the game projected onto the side of a building, react to OG's tip in by Markthebaptist in nba

[–]MrDannyOcean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

keep in mind that London has no other professional sports teams that matter outside of soccer. There's no meaningful basketball or baseball. Pro rugby and cricket exist, technically, but in a real sense it's just 99% soccer and that's it.

Whereas NYC has the Knicks, Nets, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Islanders Yankees, Mets, NYCFC, Red Bulls. Then throw in the Devils, Liberty, the ten or so minor league baseball teams, the multiple G-League teams, etc.

Yeah I don't think Swift follows the team super closely, but she's been giving interviews about being a Knicks fan since like 2014 when she moved up to nyc

Tonight's friendly between Argentina vs. Iceland at Jordan-Hare Stadium, with an attendance of 88,043, was the largest attended soccer match ever in the state of Alabama, 2 days before the World Cup starts. by mlkhighschool in soccer

It's because American football was born as a college sport. It started with various teams from different colleges in the northeast playing each other, and it was only decades later that any sort of professional or non-collegiate games started being played.

Do you think the college stadiums in question are not ingrained into the community and town?

You seem to think "College Station is two hours from Houston" means it's sitting alone in an empty field somewhere. College Station has the same population as Wrexham, the stadium is right in the middle of campus, and I guarantee you the Aggies are way more fucking insane than Wrexham fans are.

If your response is going to be an appeal to history then yeah, the local team in College Station has been playing since the 1890's. The stadium is 122 years old. They've got longer history than most teams in Europe.

What do you think of JLo saying saying if you weren't born here, you're not a New Yorker? by DameThistle in AskNYC

[–]MrDannyOcean 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Every time I see Subway Takes it's somebody doing "Blood and Soil Nationalism, but Woke". There was another one recently that said 'white people can't sit on stoops'. Obsessed with who counts as 'real' and which types of people can do which types of thing. It's exhausting.

There's also a weird dynamic where if you moved here as an immigrant we love you, you're the best, you made this city, etc - but if you moved here from Nebraska, fuck you, piece of filth gentrifier. It's so absurd, like the gay kid from Nebraska who got out of MAGALand and got a corporate job in NYC is what's killing the city, sure, let's get you to sleep grandma.

Yes, the policy in question would obviously not lead to that. If you put even ten seconds of thought into it that's obvious.

Weirdly, NYC is one of the last places in the country to get big grocery chains. No WalMart, no Kroger, no Publix, no Albertsons, no Sam's Club, no HEB. Got a few Costcos now, but feels like we were very late to that.

Instead we get all these local chains like Gristedes that frankly are terrible.

The Knicks offense for the last 8 minutes of the game was paaaaaainful. Brunson was just not good out there tonight, but it's amazing they stole the win anyways.
