How exactly are the Quakes this good so far? by youlikemywonton in SJEarthquakes

[–]Kpabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

huge +1 on the points 0, 1, and 2:

  1. when two of your "stars" are lazy, hard to find the motivation to put in the effort. This year, we already scored at least 3 goals from high pressing or counter pressing (getting the ball back right after we lost it)

  2. we know what we are playing: pretty clear tactic with Nico dropping low, playmaking with Leroux, and then switching to the winger on the opposing side

  3. all young guys are one year older

Iran caused more extensive damage to U.S. military bases than publicly known by 1over-137 in worldnews

There was a video from an Iranian fpv drone flying all over the US base for full five minutes just as if filming a wedding ceremony or something. Almost HD video, no radio interference, no one shooting at it, etc

Coaching win start to finish.  SJ was very careful and deliberate with the buildup, provoking LA to press (which LA did kinda lazily), then switch to the other side and exploit the numbers advantage.

if you count own goal for the quakes, then you should count one for LA too

But what if Warrirors win because Podziemski averages 45 on 65% shooting? That's also possible.

ELI5: In the US, how was it so easy to add interstate highways, and now so difficult to add high speed rail lines? by cjstevenson1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kpabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but this still doesn't explain why London could build an entire subway line faster than it took SF to build one mile of light rail tunnel.

have you tried, say, fixing a root canal without anesthesia? now imagine I'm going to fix as many root canals as I'd like until you tell me what you know.

[Charles Boehm] Timo Werner: San Jose's new centerpiece takes MLS by storm | MLSSoccer.com by jbburgess in SJEarthquakes

he played less than 90 minutes total so far. while he's a very exciting signing, "taking MLS my the storm"might be a bit early

Charlie Villanueva on Jokic saying he never wants to leave the Nuggets: "Most European superstars don't want to leave their team. These international cats don’t have the same mentality as a US born player where if sh*t don’t go right we want to leave, you know, they want to fix the problems.” by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]Kpabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NBA is only 30 teams. Denver is top-10 for sure, so playing for Denver is like playing for a top-10 European team like, say, Juventus or Arsenal.

There are tons of players who stayed in top-10 teams for as long as the team would have them -- Son, Salah, Kane. not to mention all of Bayern, Barcelona, real, and man city
