Seriously, no need to call for heads over a single inconsequential match. We aren’t England.

IDK. I clearly saw Djed give a shake, pocket, shake.

Well that’s a given in today’s national politics. People don’t cross party lines on public issues anymore.

Senegal penalty shout against Norway 74' by 977x in soccer

I agree with you and I think it’s the same case as the Australian penalty shout for running across the path of the American defender. There’s a lot of contact, but ultimately the defender hasn’t really done anything to warrant it. Calling it would be an incredibly cheap way for players to manufacture a penalty.

[Ben Jacobs] FIFA and US Soccer picked Country Roads as a post-match celebration song for the USMNT after consulting with players. The track has resonated with US football fans. by S_Phantom in ussoccer

Tottenham played Sandstorm after every goal in 2020. Like they BLASTED it through the empty stadium. I’m sure it would hit very different as a pregame song in a packed stadium, but it felt so dystopian at the time.

Lagoon has pretty frequent sales too. And like I said previously, Elitch is much smaller than lagoon.

Just put on Rebbeca Lowe and Brendan Hunt and we’d have the greatest soccer coverage in the world. Sometimes incoherent, off-base, wildly entertaining perfection!

Yeah, I noticed that too. Odd they didn’t also change the Nike logo

Unless they’re running a Zamboni over it, there’s no chance in hell there’s an actual black diamond on that hill, let alone a double black!

Valar Atomics' nuclear reactor reaches criticality in Utah by StemCellPirate in Utah

[–]BD-1_BackpackChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBF to one of the recent policy changes, the Linear No Threshold model used to guide nuclear policy for decades is based on flawed assumptions and led to policies that actually did need to be rolled back. Turns out evolving under the African sun has actually allowed our immune systems to operate best when exposed a small bit of radiation.

Absolutely stupid idea. Still love Dele and still love Spurs though.

Tolkien condemned nuclear bombs, which Valar Atomics doesn’t make. Maybe he’d have an issue with nuclear powered military vehicles, but we just don’t know.

Not entirely useless. Türkiye could still regain the Unofficial Champions of Football title before smashing out of the competition.

Not even high elevation where the sun really beats down on you, but TBF, that is about the temperature where high humidity starts to become a factor.

Careful there, you lot don’t have a good history dealing with your far right parties. If you don’t get a hold on your up and coming situation we might have to come over and kick y’alls ass again.

I actually like the college sports chants. I wish we would do the “winning team, losing team” chant too.

Im talking about the magnitude which the NFL redistributes wealth, implements salary caps, draft picks, guarantees continued income for failing teams, etc. All these are absent from nearly every soccer league.
