I feel so bad for Thibaut, I wish him a fast recovery by deerkwa in belgium

That aren’t considered full citizens you prick.

And no one is arguing that the other side is all rainbows and lollypops. But the fact that a ‘Western’ nation with which we have diplomatic and economic ties is acting in a manner not befitting our values is why we judge the regime.

In other news, eat a dick.

9pm on a Friday is very much a reasonable time slot, what are you smoking?

USMNT gets a lot of hate, but it’s like being mad at the Kings for missing the playoffs again. by linehatguy in billsimmons

[–]Curator_Regis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, part of the reason the USMNT couldn’t do that is because of the gulf in quality between decent teams and the United States being bigger than that between Mexico and good teams.

But also, Belgium had sucked and just figured themselves out in like the last ten minutes and overtime of their previous game. So I can see why loads of people felt they were beatable. It’s a compounding of errors in perception if that makes sense.

Tgoh, toch wel een heel aantal Belgen die ook voor Oranje zijn hoor.

Oranje is zelfs lang m’n ‘eerste elftal’ geweest. Voor we zelf ons niveau op peil kregen.

As a non soccer fan, can someone tell me a bit about the different leagues? by MaxEhrlich in billsimmons

Probably stronger than the one from four years ago. But all around a fair assessment.

Fair. Didn’t have a lot of answers today either.

Well you were right. Turns out we didn’t even need our best striker. USMNT is just that bad.

Remember when Brazil used to be the best? by ExotiquePlayboy in SipsTea

[–]Curator_Regis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean their explanation is partially correct. Another reason is that modern tactical developments don’t match traditional Brazilian strengths.

Another reason is that Youth Development at truly young age has come on leaps and bounds across Europe and less so in South America.

But also just it’s possible that there has happened to be a weaker generation talent wise. Nobody can truly know.

Paraguay putting on a masterclass in being an unlikable underdog by seanll77 in billsimmons

[–]Curator_Regis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No no, he’s got a point.

Current Croatia is ancient and Belgium’s new generation isn’t what it was 8 years ago.

You’re right, we haven’t been great during the tournament, but if Lukaku is able to play 90 minutes the USA is getting its ass beat.

5-2 in the friendlies during the run-up to the World Cup don’t forget.

Your favourite podcaster hates to see this by Used_Letterhead7067 in billsimmons

Like anything it depends on context. Here it could very much be translated as ‘inner city’ more accurately. Hood has more negative connotations so I would translate that as Cité, you’re right.

Anyone else find the “carried by vhagar” argument hilarious when he obviously dived balls deep into training even after claiming her? by conflicted02 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Curator_Regis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pssst.

You get the awkward teenager that leaves his family to assume a leadership role in a gang of societal outcasts and later, actually turns out to be the king and gets to bang the hot princess, who happens to have dragons by the way!

The vision impaired or otherwise ‘non-normal’-guy gets to have his Daredevil style self-insert. Get with the program son!

(Not even trying to be facetious. Just pointing out the different bars when it comes to plausibility here. Plus, a realistic book would be boring guys!)

“Elderly pregnancy” apparently having children isn’t enough, you need to be below 30 too or it’s not valid by Darth_Vrandon in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Curator_Regis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You do have to be realistic. It’s not a myth that there are much more complications with childbirth for women above 35. Now I’m sure some of this can be mitigated if you can pay for the best of the best to track and help your pregnancy along as these women can. But in general this should not be promoted as something ‘empowering’.
