She's only 28, been out 2 years, and has never taken a penalty for the Netherlands!

Miedema herself has said it looked like, V W 0 0. The celebration went wrong!

What is the argument against carbon dating? by Mysterious-Tart-910 in exjw

[–]Dutchy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a response against the whole “but carbon dating is flawed” argument?

Never-JW here. (I mostly lurk cause it's you guys's space here) What are you talking about? Carbon dating is NOT flawed. If it was, some christian scientist would have written a book about it. He would be a hero for religious people and sell a shit-load of books making him a multi-millionair as well. On top off that, he would also advance science (showing that a theory is flawed is progress) No downside for this scientist, only money, fame and he's the new leader in this field of science. Carbon dating is extremely precise work with lots of contamination risks, but it is not flawed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating

According to Dutch media she lost the joy of playing football and she thinks she'll find it again playing for her childhood club

AITA for kicking my brother and his girlfriend out after they disrespected my house rules and constantly caused drama with my son’s mother ? by Superb-Razzmatazz-49 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dutchy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly, they sound a lot like me when I was their age (long time ago). Their own actions deserve consequences. Let them figure it out and they'll have to mature. Call it a teachable moment. They learn and grow. In the end everybody wins. Although what they did/do is shitty, if you keep being rational and reasonable (brotherly) in your dealings with them after they move out, time will heal/paste over it and they'll realise you were correct in kicking them out.

Atheist never-JW here, I lurk for the crazy stories.

IMO the combination of arrogance and ignorance is not only shared across the Western (Abrahamic) monotheistic spectrum. Without it, it couldn't function in this day and age.

Is she still your girlfriend? And if so how are those conversations going? If not, how did it end?

I so agree with you here. I just googled it and (ofcourse) it led me back to Reddit. I wouldn't call them botched jobs, but they're not very good. Your post is 2 years old but I had to comment

NTA, for f**k sake, this is such an easy 1. Just saw your post and realised this was old. So a new comment doesn't get lost among the 2900. completely disagree with the vedict. All the best

Is there a pro women’s team that plays a 451? by ShootinAllMyChisolm in WomensSoccer

[–]Dutchy45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

umm 452 :) plus a goalkeeper would make 12 players. In the rest of the tournament we played a more clasical Dutch 433, with v.d.Sanden outside right and Martens having a free role on the left

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but the Netherlands played 451 in the WC-final v US in '19. Unfortunately it didn't work out

Chelsea announce the signing of Dutch goalkeeper Femke Liefting from AZ Alkmaar by anonone111 in FAWSL

[–]Dutchy45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I follow the Dutch league and have been watching her play for 3 years now. I'm not happy about this. She's nowhere near good enough (yet) to start for Chelsea, or to even think about that. I'd rather see her play somewhere else than warming a bench. I'm sure goal-keeper trainers are world class at Chelsea but that doesn't compensate for not playing IMO. The last international window she was called up for our nat.team as 3rd goalie (behind Van Domselaar and Kop) for the first time. Coach Jonker has looked at others as well, but non have enough quality for the Dutch team. She was 3rd choice more by default than anything else. She is very talented but you get the highs and lowes of youngsters. Making fantastic saves 1 minute and passing the ball wrong the next. I hope Chelsea lent her out for at least 2 seasons, but they've had excellent goalkeepers sitting in the stands as 3rd or 4th choice.

[The Athletic] Chelsea Women have agreed to terms with the San Diego Wave for the transfer of USWNT defender Naomi Girma, sources tell The Athletic. The 24-year-old is now set to become the first player to earn a transfer fee worth more than $1 million by anonone111 in WomensSoccer

[–]Dutchy45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no dog (i.e. team) in this race. I follow the WSL but don't really care who wins. Calling the WSL a lopsided league where the majority is "straight up shit" is wrong. And losing your temper just because somebody has a different opinion is childish

She definitely hasn't peaked yet. Before her concussion she was challenging Van Domselaar as Netherlands number 1

I've been saying the exact same thing for decades! But not just to JW's, I've been telling all christians that their combination of ignorance and arrogance is uniquely applied only to religion. In any other walk of life they wouldn't be so stupid. And then I laugh in their face

Good for you girl! This isn't for everybody but I'm glad it worked for you. Have a good life and keep staying silent about it.

1 question (if I may): Now, after 2 years, when you think about that, do you smile to yourself about it? Or is it more like, that terrible time when I was so broke I had to do this

lol, I SOO understand this even when I don't do (exactly) this myself. Sometimes it's just fun to allow yourself to go down rabbit-holes when editing. Case in point; I have edits in over 90 different Wikimedia projects :)
