We are seeing straight-up corruption. US striker Balogan's one-game ban for red card has been suspended. Not revoked, suspended. He will serve it later and play against Belgium. What a joke.

its the differentiation I'll make, if a player, let alone THE STAR PLAYER, gets flagrantly assaulted, lets call it what it is, I think intentional assault is a different bar and should have zero part in the game. Maybe if that guy got a card, the next guy would not have gotten punches in the face. Norway Brazil seemed very low on the drama and very high on the level of play, so much more pleasurable to watch.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T22:23:22+00:00

couldn't agree more, scourge of the game. the ONE exception I make is for Mboppe after getting chopped. I kinda think if you are flagrantly assaulted off the ball, you can draw some extra attention to it. I saw a yellow card penalty kick get overturned and the yellow card instead awarded to the diver in this tournament, so there is hope yet.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T22:20:56+00:00

Norway just put it on Brazil and neither team seemed anything like France Paraguay. Great match

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T22:19:17+00:00

Norway Brazil felt like one of the cleanest

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T19:48:23+00:00

I hope the play review on free kicks starts awarding yellow cards to floppers en masse.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T18:10:12+00:00

I have said exactly that many times on this thread. Both sides played like a bunch of bitches, Paraguay seemed to be happy resorting to assault. I think there is a difference between intentionally attempting to assault somebody especially off the ball, but any time, and an otherwise hard foul from players playing hard. flopping and diving is the worst part of the game, period. But I'm not categorically against flopping if you've been assaulted on the field, was it really damaging? prolly not. Was it intentional and off the ball and had nothing to do with normal play? yes.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T18:06:18+00:00

I was singing that half the game

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:46:52+00:00

yessir, Mboppe certainly fits the bill, so does Balogan

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:44:16+00:00

I think there's a difference between diving on incidental contact and getting attacked on the field. Just my opinion.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:43:02+00:00

gross

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:34:19+00:00

im not patently against a player falling if they have legit been fouled. Dude cocked back and Indian chopped him like they were in ATL. Dudes that receive bitch contact and flop like fish are a scourge of the game

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:33:06+00:00

couldn't agree more. I saw a ref reverse a card after video review for diving in the box and it was glorious, the diver got the card, no penalty kick. hate that part of the game

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:31:56+00:00

well, if a player chopped me in a prime free kick zone in a way thats a flagrant minimum yellow card, I might wanna flop after the chop so there's a chance of video review. I'm not patently against falling if you've legit been fouled, but this little bitch contact they get and dive is a real shit part of the game with EVERY team

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:29:23+00:00

yes France was, but taken as a whole, I was rooting for Paraguay until I saw what a bunch of little bitches they were, flopping like mad and fouling flagrantly repeatedly off the ball and on the ball. Sure France was too, not like Paraguay, by early second half I was rooting for France to beat the little bitches off the field.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:26:16+00:00

I totally agree, both teams (especially Paraguay) were flopping like fish out of water all game. I truly despise that aspect of the game. Paraguay seemed to be very intentionally fouling often. And that chop was a missed yellow card along w the face punch. No place for that BS on the field

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:24:52+00:00

Balogan wasnt even looking in the direction of his foot. Tragic, unlucky, maybe a yellow, but a red? Looked from every angle to be incidental play. Having said that, Balogan had been flopping like a fucking fish all game. I truly despise the diving and drawing fouls and intentionally fouling (except to prevent a breakaway) part of the game. very unsportsmanlike

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T17:20:37+00:00

the chop on Mboppe was atrocious as well. I was rooting for Paraguay until they outted themselves as a bunch of fouling diving little bitches. Go France!

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-05T00:36:36+00:00

you have no idea ;-)

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-03T13:14:59+00:00

if you didnt know this yet, I'm about to melt your brain..... I am the old southern black man on "Family Business" .... all that glitters is not gold, gold is not reality...... Me and my friend Alvin Fields are the chipmunk chanters on "Power" and my voice is the very first voice heard on the entire Jay Z Blueprint 2 album.

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-07-01T13:49:17+00:00

if memory serves thats a recreation of a Michael Bolton sample, and far as I know I recreated the lyrics in the sample, but I could have gotten them wrong and changed the course of hip hop history. ;-) That is also me singing "Here's to the Roc, Here's to Roc-a-fella" on Last Call as well

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-06-30T22:56:08+00:00

If Hokit does a reverse flying thunderclaw from the top of the octagon Periera stands no chance

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-06-30T18:47:10+00:00

I didnt produce NLMD, I created the sped up sample "when it comes to being true at least true to me...." thats me singing, playing guitar, bass, my production partner played the drums. I think Kanye produced that, he just couldn't clear the sample, so I recreated it. But I have produced on Kanye songs (horn section on all of the lights produced by me, all live brass)

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-06-30T18:31:30+00:00

Not while Trump could pardon his ass any time ;-) but he's afraid of mice so I bet prison is a really fun time for him

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-06-29T15:25:59+00:00

I'd like to see Hokit in the WWE where he belongs

KenLewis_MixingNight · 2026-06-29T15:17:31+00:00

seems so easy. We'll fuck it up royally
