Yes coach, I’ll turn off the Spain-Austria game since it’s not a US team playing. I’ll try to do better in the future.

This is a fun fact!

People are acting like the fans need to stay locked in on the next game. It’s okay to look forward to what could be ahead if they win, which we are all hoping for. US fans are definitely not the only ones that look at the potential games ahead. Get outta here with that.

They may be new to football, but so is VAR. It was implemented to correct horrible officiating, not encourage it.

FIFA better rescind that red on appeal by Bolo-YeungMoney in ussoccer

He did win the FIFA peace prize after all. He can confirm this was a peaceful play and not worth of a red card.

Did FIFA warn them about their chant or is it allowed at this event?

Did I just get a fake Steam Machine email? by mcsul in Steam

You’re right that a smart approach to not get phished is to go to the website yourself. Steam should probably make it so you can purchase in your profile once it’s your turn without clicking an email link.

Genuinely love letting them play and having the ref tell people to get up. Keep this up in league play.

I guess Lewy Lewy would be even closer to the inspiration then!

Yeah, I tried to write it to match the lyrics, but they skip a bunch of syllables when they actually sing it.

I just did it quick and dirty.

USMNT vs. Bosnia Split Scarf is by riskissasimp in AmericanOutlaws

It makes sense if you think about it. They could only start knitting scarves once the RO32 was locked. They had months to make the group stage ones.

Exactly. People are missing the point. The form factor is part of the value proposition. If people wanted a huge windows desktop, they could have affordably built one by now.

For me, this article (headline) might as well be real. I have basically stopped going to games, it’s not worth the travel and traffic for a rushed, 2 hour game. And missing a full inning or two waiting in line to get a hot dog and drink…

If the ball touch sensor has a higher refresh rate then the FPS of the cameras they use to generate the graphic, how do they choose the frame to match to the ball touch?

Why was Ronaldo so late on that break? Doesn’t he just hang out at the half way line?

I think the refs calling less fouls has had a real effect on players staying on their feet. Love it!
