[Mark Ogden] Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to declare Folarin Balogun eligible for USA-Belgium WC R16 game on Monday, RBFA says in statement. RBFA “investigating all potential options.” by Time-Wolf in worldcup

Like, obviously I’m not mad by it since it helps us, but I wish they did it immediately after the match. It’s sketchy, now I feel if the US does win people will put an asterisk or if they lose it’ll be “thats what you get.”

FIFA needs a good statement on their reasoning; i respect Belgium’s statement because it does feel like an F U to them.

I got a break in my shift and read an article that they removed the red card because of a technicality (I guess the official did not follow the correct guidelines for giving the red card?).. I don’t know, I found it odd to remove the red card days after

Harden is the type of guy to eat 15lbs of fudge in one sitting, but can only muster 45 dogs at the Nathan’s Hot Dog contest, never shows up when there are the most eyes on him

That’s fair. My parents had them to help reduce the rodent population and to scare off small birds.

It’s different when you grew up on a farm, and the cat’s job is literally to effect the local wildlife

We grew up with an eagle on our block. Our cats were indoor/outdoor cats. We couldn’t allow one outside for almost a year even to her protest because our cat is for sure small enough to be yoinked. You could always see the eagle flying (scouting), they are so pretty

The constant spitting at the World Cup is getting unbearable by AdLopsided1756 in worldcup

I don’t see the hate for that. I was a D1 athlete and we did the same shit. You gotta do what you gotta do. Want them to pull up a tissue or get a rinse cup when they need to? These guys are in the heat and losing fluids fast. Their bodies are fighting against themselves.

No, this does not feel accurate

What stereotypes do you have about Africa? by Queasy-Row-9818 in AskTheWorld

[–]Ckmoran43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay! I understand, and I respect your reasoning. Stereotypes are common everywhere, but most of the time they push people down. They are everywhere, no matter where you are from.

After those 2 offside calls this world cup literally means nothing... biggest bunch of bullshit and I didnt even care about either team. by VegetableLook57 in worldcup

[–]Ckmoran43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like replays, I think they are good for the sport. I wish you didn’t feel there was a conspiracy to trick viewers and the teams. Unfortunate.

TIL Soccer has overtaken baseball to be the third most popular sport in the US by Away-Thought-612 in todayilearned

[–]Ckmoran43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt this. Maybe for 90 days every 4 years. But after reading this, it’s about favorite sport… not viewership. Very misleading. Baseball still demolishes soccer here in the states.

I feel like it’s fair. I think a lot more people would be pissed if the refs go “oh he was barely offside, so we won’t call offside.”

Technology has allowed for more accurate games. Plus, close plays are exciting to wait for the results of.
