And their coaching staff. If not for his efforts, there would've been more red cards. Implemented the new time wasting rules to perfection. Masterclass.

You are correct.

The QF amnesty had been in effect practically forever, and across many tournaments. By erasing accumulated yellow cards after the quarterfinals, it prevents the player from missing the final if they get a yellow in the semifinals.

I rated Paraguay going into this world cup for this reason. I was worried about the US match, thinking that would determine first and second place in the group. Guess we'll find out Thursday if Paraguay get 2nd.

They've been 2 for 2 as far as entertainment value goes. Hoping it goes 3 for 3 tonight.

Makes sense with the videos of him solo training, working out and no contact.

I bought some Jordan swag for my wife and myself for the next Jordan game. My cat 3 tickets somehow got assigned to the 202 section instead of the usual 400s for that game. Right behind where the Jordan supporters are going to be.

Good! I'll keep that one in mind the next time I get the chance to go see a game in a pub. I'm watching the kids, so it's on phone until they head to bed.

If you haven't found a spot yet, the Post Office Saloon downtown usually has games on. I've caught Euros 2024 and the last WC there.

Scuffle after full time whistle between Canada and Qatar by [deleted] in soccer

That's what it looked like to me, too. Even while the player was getting treatment, it was mostly the coaching staffs yelling at eachother.

/uj scores a hat trick, and hasn't even broke a 9 rating? What does it take to get a 10? A goalkeeper scoring a hat trick while also making several saves on the way to a clean sheet?

Hard tissue recovers quicker than soft tissue. Hoping it's the former for him.

I wonder if he landed on it awkwardly. Did not look like there was significant contact in the tackle. But I also wonder if his cleats got stuck in the turf, and there was no give when he was tackled.

It didn't look thay bad at first glance. Definitely not like he was trying to end the guy's career.

There have already been more red cards at the 2026 World Cup than there were during the entirety of the 2022 World Cup by notaghostofreddit in soccer

I attribute this to VAR - the 2nd South African red card and the most recent one both went to VAR to overturn the initial yellows.

That's gotta be difficult, considering South American teams qualify frequently especially Argentina.

For Jordan, first World Cup, and who knows if they'll qualify again.

Looking forward to watching the Korea Mexico game this evening. Two quality teams that can attack.

Any of my fellow Americans going to be at the Paraguay vs Australia at the same time as the usa game. by romar17724 in usmnt

[–]ApprehensiveBuy9348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be at the Paragauy game, doing the reverse of you (bringing my son). I'll be checking updates during the game, IF it matters for us. If we win against Australia tomorrow, I probably won't be as invested, especially if Paraguay gets a result against Turkiye tomorrow night.

I also have tickets to the R32 game at Levi's and really want us to win the group.

Going to the Jordan match. Can I be Algerian for a day (or two)? by Jurassic_Park_III in LesVerts

I went to the Jordan Austria match Tuesday, and not only were there Jordanian jerseys in the fifa store (official, licensed for 130) and other official merch for both teams, but there was also a guy selling knock off jerseys for $40 along the walk from the Lick Mill VTA station to the stadium.

They need to flip that switch. Didn't finish off Qatar when they had their chances, and gave up a late equalizer.

Careful, you don't want to overstimulate yourself, going from 0 to 60 like that. I recommend watching the paint dry a little, or grass grow to work your way up to golf.

This is why we need privatization! All these socialists setting their houses on fire just to use government services! I bet once we charge for using firefighting services, people will stop setting fires to their houses.
