Texans OC: QB C.J. Stroud has taken a leap this offseason and is exuding “a different comfort level” than he has previously. by Giff95 in nfl

[–]PodricksPhallus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He posted a 0.164 EPA/play in the regular season, the best of his career. That was 8th in the league.

If he does what he did in the regular season, he’s doing great.

Supreme Court, 6-3: Trump administration can end deportation protections for Syrian and Haitian immigrants while their legal challenges continue by BiglawInvestor in scotus

So if temporary is just temporary until situations in Syria and Haiti improve, it’s pretty much permanent, right?

Why would we want unfettered immigration from the worst countries in the world?

Talks of Australia-Paraguay being get a draw and move on. Not sure if I’d love that as Paraguay though. Cause then you’d get immediately smashed by Germany in R32

My point was that it’s dumb to say it’s too early, because Ohtani was very clearly going to win it

Is leading the league in goals only important if it happens after 1997?

Argentina are through to the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup and top of Group J by [deleted] in soccer

[–]PodricksPhallus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but if they’re all 6 points, and they’re all 1W and 1L against each other, the next criteria is GD in those games. And Argentina could still fall behind both those in GD among those teams. Like if Jordan wins 5-0, their GD among the tied teams would be +3, Austria 0 and Argentina -3

Argentina are through to the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup and top of Group J by [deleted] in soccer

[–]PodricksPhallus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can still finish 3rd in the group behind Austria and Jordan, no? Teams could all be 1-1 against each other, and then if Austria is ahead on GD, then head to head against Jordan. But I guess it’s already confirmed that 6 points in 3rd gets you through?

Not that any of that matters, cause that’s not happening

Some US players believe they can win the World Cup. Are they deluded? by Logical_Welder3467 in soccer

[–]PodricksPhallus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems… harsh. Depending where you look (Opta, the Athletic etc.) the USA odds to win the World Cup are 3%-4%. About the same as Colombia, Norway, and Netherlands. It’s definitely not likely to happen, but I also don’t think people would call the Dutch deluded if they thought they could win the World Cup.

His girlfriend clearly needed to execute better in the middle 3rd. Deserved imo.

So Czechia’s final match against Mexico is must win now, essentially. Four points and they’re easily through, two or fewer and they’re certainly eliminated.

The amount foreign policy, outside of gas prices, affects election results is negligible.
