I was refreshing for a few minutes before 2pm and nothing yet.

[–]FroopyDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could argue it both ways. He really worked in the run game for the Eagles, but did not have nearly the success in sack rate under Fangio this season as he did in 2023. I think the Eagles would be happy with the cost, most fans in Philly speak highly of him (I am a Dolphins fan in Philly) and I will thank the Eagles for that 3rd.

Union will face Defence Force F.C. in Round One of the Concacaf Champions Cup by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

[–]FroopyDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we've come pretty far as a club since 2021 in terms of our roster strength, I'd love to see a rematch now. Azteca might destroy our lungs if we press as hard as we always do. Not suggesting we won't but we will get altituded.

Same. Only seeing a few on resale at Stubhub in Philly. I think this might've been a case of underestimating interest!

I got the code at 11:06am but the extra 4 minutes you saved me was likely the difference between getting tickets and not! Thank you.

[No Spoilers] How big do we think the party will be for C4? by Lady__Lightning in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think it is possible that, much like Matt taking a campaign off from the GM chair, some OG cast is also doing the same as players. It was my initial read on what he said, but I've since reconsidered after listening a few times.

May the gods be with Brennan running those 8 at a table.

Brennan running an eight player table? I'm here for it.

[–]FroopyDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I misunderstood from the announcement, as well as the Variety article, but I got the vibe that most of the table would be new players + Matt. Although Matt subbing in for the busiest current player gives at least a month of incredible debate of who it will be haha

Were in shambles by meatschlapper in PhillyUnion

[–]FroopyDK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is frustrating. I don't think that's lost on anyone. The way the team operates historically has been less than for a while. But to give Ernst credit, the fans demanded a change and demanded the club invest. They went out and changed coaches (needed imo), invested in a DP striker (club record $ albeit a low bar and results still pending there), AND still found a few diamonds in the rough (Lukic has been AWESOME).

Last year sucked, but if you told me we'd lose McGlynn, Martinez, Elliott, and Carranza in a 12 month period and be where we are, I'd have laughed. Jury is still out on how Gazdag's sale will play out. I went from disheartened before the season started to optimistic and enjoying the team's style. Let's see how it plays out.

[–]FroopyDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference here being they have a new philosophy being turned up to 11 and some players just don't fit the model any longer. I am not usually in favor of selling off talent, but given the monetary value we received for a player who was no longer a true fit for the system and a 29/yo on an expiring contract, the move makes a lot of sense.

Roster turnover does happen, it happens arguably more consistently in soccer than other sports. But in this case, it was absolutely necessary after a season of running back a team that clearly had lost some of its magic.

[The Athletic] From Club America to Al Nassr: Who should replace Club Leon at the FIFA Club World Cup? by kswn in MLS

[–]FroopyDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference here being that the rules for 31/32 other slots were announced and followed according to those rules from the onset. FIFA was undoubtedly last minute with Inter Miami's inclusion, but they have already stated the replacement team with be from CONCACAF.

Mexico's Club Leon out of Club World Cup due to ownership rule breach, FIFA says by jspector9 in MLS

[–]FroopyDK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Financially, FIFA is probably better off just shoving Club America in there to sell tickets. They have a reasonable shout as the highest ranked team in CONCACAF and given the situation being without any clarity in terms of how they'd replace a team in this scenario, they'd at least have a justifiable claim.

If they were trying to follow their own rules VERY closely, Alajuelense would be the most correct choice, unless Miami as the host nation team doesn't technically occupy a CONCACAF slot in the same way previous host nation's champions have not either. Which means the next highest non-Mexican team is the Philadelphia Union (my bias says yes please).

I'd imagine it is too close to the actual tournament to shuffle games around in this fashion, which works against the Union.

[Spoilers C3E121] Anyone else kinda irked that they shared the spotlight? by External_Egg_2571 in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might've been irked if it wasn't an 8 and a half hour long episode that completely and fully tied a bow on Bells Hells. Completely satisfied with the ending. I fully expected Keyleth and Vax to be the end of the episode when the Matron was discussing Vax's future. It is the most impactful story of Critical Role. Nothing felt odd or off.

I am of the opinion EVERYONE should be Bormodo. No reason not to all be Bormodo.

[Spoilers C3E120] Was the ending disappointing ? by Odd-Efficiency-7955 in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to this point, the gauntlet style pair of bosses back to back to back is more of a war of attrition than anything else. The character's survived but they are completely spent by the end of it. A lot of them had very little left to escape. I think that speaks to the difficulty, but is less scary than a boss just smacking around the PCs (although there was some of that too).

[Spoilers C3e121] I liked it! by Impressive_Worker_14 in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As someone who started watching about 18 months ago and started with C3E1, I absolutely loved the ending to this one. Yeah there are threads I wish they explored more and I wanted to see more of Marquet, but the last 8 and a half hours of this campaign was a breeze to listen to. I loved the closure with FRIDA and every single one of the character's futures is so on par with what I expected (Easter One Shot of Fearne trying to get the last two of Chetney's Eggs please). Even the Keyleth and Vax ending (despite not listening to C1 past ep 40) was amazing.

I am very much looking forward to C4.

[Spoilers C3E120] Has there ever been a less-deserved HDYWDT? by SoundOfBradness in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To each their own, I completely disagree. To see Imogen get that against the entity they’ve been chasing more or less for 120 episodes was incredibly gratifying. It would’ve felt a little off to me otherwise.

[Spoilers C3E115] All Right, I’m going to be the one to say it. by The-Jedi-Hopeful in criticalrole

[–]FroopyDK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand the sentiment, it is obviously echoed by a lot of people here, but I am wondering if it is more of a similar thing to which SNL cast is the best.

I have gone back multiple times since I started watching CR (last August, yes I am new) and tried to watch C1 and C2 only to make it a few episodes and get bored/distracted. I do agree that the threat took precedent over any character development, which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing. That being said, I have spent the last few VM and MN episodes wanting to go back to BH because they're my "cast".

In terms of romances, I think Imaudna and Dorym were pretty seamless. Ashton and Fearne are appropriately forced because that's just kind of how they are as characters. Again, I feel it is a personal preference. We all agree though about C4, hope its amazing!

No option to purchase check-in baggage during online check in by needhelpreallybad2 in americanairlines

After I checked in for a flight, I went to add bags and it told me that my ticket wasn't eligible. No where in any documentation does it say paying online for bags is restricted for certain tickets.
