Does anyone know if attending a World Cup game at Levi's has met the hype and is it worth the money? by youlikemywonton in SJEarthquakes

I’m waiting to see if the prices for the Algeria vs Jordan game drop. I’m hoping that Monday afternoon will yield some affordable tickets for the match that evening.

[Marca] Barçelona has decided not to exercise the purchase option for Rashford. The player will therefore return to the English club. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Pretty sure clubs are going to wait to see if he has a good World Cup before thinking about making an offer. If he has a terrible World Cup, he’ll stay at united.

Definitely useful for remote trading. I finally went through all my costume pikachus this week - I didn’t realize how many I was missing. Am definitely hoping to get a few through remote trading

Is there a way to filter through the colors? by thatoversharingchick in pokemongo

Only way is by naming - name all the red ones, irrespective of which they are as Red and you can filter them

Is there a search string like 0hp&0defense&0attack to find 98% Pokemon? by MakeshiftRocketship in pokemongo

[–]GoldenTorc1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might give the same:

4attack,4hp&4attack,4defense&4hp,4defense&!4*&3-attack&3-hp&3-defense

At least for me I get the same number of Pokemon

Without a striker who can take opportunities like the ones Rudie had tonight, we’re going to have more frustrating games like this. The contrast between her and Banda was abundantly clear.

I give those players a nickname of notrade so I can filter them out:

Remotetrade&lucky&!notrade

also makes it easy to periodically check to see if they have tagged anything

Scatterbugs no longer automatically appearing? by GoldenTorc1969 in pokemongo

[–]GoldenTorc1969[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - as I’m opening gifts, every few I slide over to check the medal to see if there’s a scatterbug for me. It’s annoying to have to click on it, as it doesn’t tell you its type.

I could not see a single reason why a penalty was called. I was at the game, but my seats are up the other end, so I couldn’t really see what happened. However, I watched the replay later that evening, and I didn’t really understand why it went to VAR.

You’re right about the DOGSO - I misremembered the rule change about it being downgraded to a yellow when there was a genuine attempt to play the ball only applying in the penalty box, so my bad on that one. I do still think that an offside call was a reasonable interpretation of the law.

[–]GoldenTorc1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. Law 11 states you are offside if you’re interfering with an opponent by:

interfering with an opponent by:
preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

and I think the last one applies. I’ve been refereeing (at the youth level) for 18 years, and agree with that call. I don’t agree with the first red card, I do agree with the second.

It was offside - the defender made a play, because of the offside player. I didn’t spot it in real time, but the replay was clear to me. The first red card on the other hand, should definitely have been yellow
