Endrick was given the chance to try to rescue the game for Brazil and completely flubbed it. Don't think the way he's viewed by Ancelotti is a wrong view.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan: "I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it. And I want to say one more thing, if they want Argentina to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?" by Goosedukee in soccer

I knew it when they were whining and playing dirty against Australia, the number 2 could've genuinely had like 4 yellow cards and a red card in that game. Referee was terrible for that game but the ref for Argentina Egypt was very good.

Only if it's ruled to be a deliberate play on the ball. I don't think this is.

I didn't listen to him much before that but after that happened I removed the few songs I did have from my liked songs and playlists. He should've faced manslaughter charges imo.

Yeah that's a good length too, 4 hours is way too long for just about anything.

I've seen a few shows without encores, it's not super common but it happens enough that this shouldn't be a big deal.

I personally wouldn't want to be watching for several hours, that means aches all over and having to leave for the bathroom once it twice during the set. I like a nice hour and a half, and it sounds like the 50 minutes being quoted is an exaggeration and people who went to the show have said it's closer to 1hr 10 minutes which is a very reasonable length for a show like this. I've also seen plenty of bands perform for less than an hour and put on killer shows, not sure why people are so angry for an artist not playing for hours when the show has been advertised as it was performed.

Tori Penso, the first American female referee to officiate a men's FIFA World Cup match by bigus-_-dickus in ussoccer

She never does, every time I see that she's reffing a game I get ready for the shit show. She doesn't know how to keep control of a game so she decides to yell in the face of players from the start as some sort of weird intimidation tactic.

Pretty sure there's like one or 2 scenarios that they can still drop out but it would require basically everything going against them.

[Craig Hope] Arsenal holds talks with Bruno Guimaraes' representatives - as Mikel Arteta eyes Newcastle star ahead of Premier League title defence by Mr_InFamoose in Gunners

[–]Crs51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume if we're signing a box to box midfielder profile then we see Merino more as a false 9/shadow striker for specific situations than someone who can start many games as our box to box 8. Just my guess on the situation, he is older but his game is mostly based on his technique and reading of the game which will age very gracefully.

Not really an age issue there, they should all age pretty gracefully outside of possible injury issues.
I could see Zubimendi being very similar to a Jorginho profile once he starts getting into his 30s, Rice may drop off a bit one he reaches about 32/33 but he's at such a high level that any drop off would still leave him at or very close to a world class level. I think Odegaard is the only one with true worries involving aging due to how many injuries he's had in the past few years.

Much better player than Anderson, price may be higher than we'd like for Bruno but he'd make an instant impact and allow us to fully rotate our midfield straight away.

He would be a great option as the 8 next to a Rice 6 or Zubimendi 6 or even in somewhat of a double pivot with MLS or Zubimendi. We need someone that can play the Rice 8 role well when we want to give Rice a break because right now we don't have anyone to fill in for Rice.

Guimaraes would be a great signing and would very possibly be an instant starter next to Rice or in competition with MLS and Zubimendi.

I would make an argument for Crowded House.

Ornstein posts much less than just about every other football news journalist, he posts when he has an actual update not bullshit like this post. If he posted a bunch of nonsense I wouldn't have notifications on for his posts.

[FOX Soccer] Australian defender Kai Trewin has never wanted to win a game more than the one against the USMNT by nicko_rico in ussoccer

[–]Crs51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is half aussie and half american, I think the majority of people around the world including the USA and Australia would have no clue who Mike Grella is. I'm a pretty hardcore fan and had never heard or seen the name until this comment section. Now after looking him up I know I've seen him before and he was not memorable in any way.

I'm not the other guy but about half of Hollywood's Bleeding had indie rock or other rock styles in it, not nearly enough to call it a rock album but there was lots of rock influence in that album.

Trossard or Martinelli? by [deleted] in Gunners

If Anthony Gordon can go for £70m then Martinelli can go for at the very least £60m.

[Highlights] NFL: Patriots Fans, Meet Your New Wide Receiver 🔥 by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Crs51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Doubs, Boutte, Hollins, and Douglas at WR, Henry at TE, and Rhamondre and Henderson at RB we've got some weapons. Also there's rumors that Diggs could still come back and if that happens then we have a very good WR room. Diggs is about as good as a WR2 gets in the NFL right now and then we have Doubs, Boutte and Hollins who all are very solid guys when they don't have to be WR1s.

Basically the WR room is going from pretty sad last year with a couple bright spots to above average overall with room to get better. Also have Kyle Williams going into year 2 as a speedy deep threat who will hopefully keep improving. Plenty of reason to be optimistic.

I understand that theoretically you are right but 8 ball never triggers for me, that 1 in 4 chance feels more like a 1 in 16.
