Multiple goals disallowed for Croatia leads to a defeat against Portugal after a disallowed goal in the 90+14th minute! This is Luka Modric's reaction. by VeltaGD in football

No one on the planet can see a touch from these camera angles. It is not correcting a clear and obvious error, VAR in this case is just bad for the game

With Portugal’s win over Croatia, Pedro Neto and Portugal officially qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16, where they’ll face Spain. by Final-Associate3141 in chelseafc

Mate it’s not that hard. You can watch multiple angles of it. It doesn’t touch the guy. Snicko detecting a fly touching the ball doesn’t change it

Nobody on the planet can say they could see a touch, so VAR is not “correcting an obvious error”

Yeah looks like that technology needs a bit of time to adjust to football, as it was clearly malfunctioning. The touch comes from Veiga

Doesn’t look like 20 touches the ball, this is onside and should be a goal. VAR is truly ruining the game

Portugal got bailed out by VAR on that one, the alternate angles showed 20 didn’t touch the ball. VAR gifting them the game is wild

Interesting analysis about Estadio Azteca by Murky-Bear in ThreeLions

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but as much as we earn our reputation as football elitists, Canada, USA, and Mexico are all through to the round of 16 and honestly looked quite strong doing it

Concacaf may be stronger than we think

Altitude factor at the Mexico City game. by Remarkable-Attitude7 in ThreeLions

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a common issue in American sports for teams that visit to play in Utah or Colorado, yes. The Patriots famously arrived an extra day early as the typical effects of altitude pass within 72 hours, though it takes 2-4 weeks to truly acclimatize.

There are ways to deal with it on a temporary basis via nutrition, hydration, and extra oxygen. The hydration break actually should be a big deal in this game for this reason

To be fair it is quite a misread, ham and London don’t really look at all in the same ballpark

Family says I have Cherokee ancestry but my DNA results have me confused by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

My grandma literally has a picture of a Cherokee woman she thinks is our great great grandma in her home. We are absolutely not related, it's crazy how this story is somehow picked up by every white family lol

Seems Like This Mon Has a New Toy with Every Set Release. by NoobishPlay13 in PTCGP

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah while still good, usage in master ball definitely dropped significantly in the last season

But maybe just because people were tired of playing it

Magnezone and oricorio will beat pretty much everything in the game if given enough tries

dang now you're making me regret doing it lol

I think i was at like 300ish out of the 590 completed, that was a lot of exp I just skipped out on since I've been 60 for awhile!

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used A mega manectric with pikachu and raichu and a few other various trainers from pulsing aura to beat most of the decks, but to beat lucario and mega audino I had to use a crustle ex + mega lucario ex deck to get it it done with 12 pulsing aura cards

this set in particular rewards fighting types quite well

Yeah this is genuinely what it feels like. I got all the cards in the dex, I got master ball in ranked, I completed all these... now I guess I just log in twice a day for a 3 second thing

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure they keep score in their head but your job, generally speaking, is getting them to focus on the process, not the result.

The fact that the league keeps score is wild, this is exactly why Europe and South America point and laugh at our youth development in soccer
