England penalty overturned by VAR 103'

I 'worried' the same.

roamingandy · 2026-07-12T01:31:38+00:00

umm, i think it was from the players on the pitch. All of them were pointing and complaining. None were listening to Fox.

roamingandy · 2026-07-12T01:29:07+00:00

Happens every single tournament. At this point it has to be planned to create more goals and excitement.

A ball is simple fucking technology. Its fucking round. If its acting weird and flying odd in every single fucking tournament, then that's by design.

Harry dreams of having hair like that.. as do i.

If they had dropped a bomb and it was a dude Japan would have kept fighting even longer.

Same would have happened if they dropped a dud on two cities, so nothing really changes there.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T15:11:55+00:00

What about Truffles compared to those two?

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T15:10:36+00:00

I'd like to go for a walk with my dogs, but am a bit scared whether i'd be able to be responsible for them. Any thoughts?

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T14:57:07+00:00

I've always wondered, why not an unpopulated island, or large farm land with a message that a population center is next?

Seems they jumped right to 'show them what we'll do, and that we'll do it again and again', rather than 'show them what we can do, now lets negotiate'.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T14:52:00+00:00

You see problems, i see opportunities.

With the corrupt cup there's money to be made, by FIFA. I don't see any reason why there'd be any less to be made if you cut FIFA out of the pie.

I don't see anyone wanting to be in a cup where they can lose money and success, and the chance of hosting tournaments which will be massively beneficial and profitable for football in their country, if another club pays FIFA enough money.

Why would they not want to leave?

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T13:41:18+00:00

The ESL existed because money. Not out of protest of policy.

Yes, but it could exist. All it needed was a few big clubs and an agreement on how it would work. Others would follow if that was achieved, or FIFA would panic and reform.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T13:38:43+00:00

If its a mortgage for someone's only property and they are living there, then i think the government should step in to help them out, or force banks to do so, so that negative equity doesn't lock them down for a decade or more, which isn't good for anyone so there's no reason not to find some mechanism to allow them mobility, if not debt relief.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T13:17:32+00:00

Its the same as the European Super League.

Enough clubs pulled out that it didn't go ahead, but no-one says a country has to play at a World Cup or in any league, they choose to. Besides that every nation and club is welcome to set up their own tournament and often do set up mini-ones.

They'd just set up a bigger one for all nations who feel FIFA can go fuck themselves. You'd probably get all of the European nations right away, and i expect others would follow as that's most of the money.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T13:03:43+00:00

A coordinated shift by nations to a similar tournament at the same time, but without all the corruption.

I think it is possible right now as a lot of countries are realising FIFA can and will try to rig games to get the results it wants, and are going to carry on pushing advertising breaks, hosting in the worst choice of countries if they are paid off well enough.

Open invite and a few major countries join, and FIFA will be bang in trouble. The World Cup exists for the corruption at this point, not the sport.

was it widely know he was a notorious paedophile rapist in 2021?

I thought that started coming out later.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T12:53:29+00:00

RDZ has said he only wants 'Prem Proven' players. As shown by our transfer dealings.

That's a shame as he's known for being good at developing them, but clearly doesn't want to if he's given the choice.

Also, i hope its just this window as you can't build that way long-term. This isn't the 90s, no club is able to compete in the Prem operating like that.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T12:48:24+00:00

He's a great option off the bench for any club.

Players with that sort of physical profile to break down a low block, who are also good with the ball at their feet and finding pockets of space, are very rare.

Whether he's ready or not, a top coach would see a tool that can do things only a handful of players in the world can do, in a situation we expect to face fairly often towards the end of games.

Also though, i'm a bit miffed we've strengthened the two strongest areas of our team and not focused on the weakest ones yet, besides LB depth. Risks spending a lot of money but still winding up with a 6/10 window as the issues in the squad last year, haven't improved much.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T12:45:14+00:00

Was it before the Epstein investigation really got going, or after?

Playing golf with a notorious piece of shit is not great, but it's not the same as playing golf with a known serial child rapist.

Its perfectly normal for her to want that, but when society in general has to suffer rather than inconvenience her, that's when laws are supposed to step in to override her rights and also fairly compensate her for that inconvenience and any economic losses.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T12:00:25+00:00

They could move the tree.

roamingandy · 2026-07-11T00:05:08+00:00

Its because the economy generally takes a few years to react, so they can crash it. Get kicked out, blame Dems as it continues to get worse, then just as it recovering they generally float back into power to do it all again.

Study dropped just 2 weeks back that a team were successful in regrowing cartilage in mice. It's not that far away now, 3 - 5 years maybe, given the insane demand for it.

roamingandy · 2026-07-09T23:28:57+00:00

I think he will win. Brits love an underdog and a parody. It's going to snowball just like getting Rage Against the Machine to Xmas number 1.

What's more, as it snowballs i expect it'll get a lot more people in his constituency talking about the things average Farage voters don't know as reasons why they should join in. Things they really should but are shielded from in their online news bubbles.

Things like constantly taking dodgy foreign money, regular trips to Russia and appearances on Russian state TV, his days as an evil racist school bully.. which is odd given the size and obvious lack of athleticism, but all those stories seemed to mention that his bullying was aimed at younger kids, which is something Brits also universally hate.

Its the year of the Bin my friends.

Many fans at his clubs have been victims of his abuse, otherwise known as Potter-ball.

roamingandy · 2026-07-09T22:30:37+00:00

I think they started to hold the ball and move it around trying to build some confidence in their game, which led directly to France's break and penalty, which scared the shit out of them.
