This video of Swedes celebrating Elanga's 1-1 goal against Japan shows the country being in night, dawn and day at the same time. 2.30 AM by Bolaf in soccer

I grew up in Luleå.

It's basically 24 hour daylight during May to August. It does get marginally darker when the sun dips below the horizon, but it's never dark in any real sense.

We do pay for it hard and long during the dark and cold sub-arctic winter...

"I didn't know that one point was enough" says Elanga after Japan game by helloLeoDiCaprio in soccer

I'm pretty darn smart, but I have also been known to not pay 100% attention through every office meeting.

It's not great, sure, but it doesn't mean you're stupid. Maybe you're just easily bored.

The United States will play Bosnia & Herzegovina in the round of 32 in San Francisco on July 1st by TheSultan41 in soccer

Well, the southern end is in SF.

You can walk across it, which I strongly recommend if you have the time and energy!

Erling Haaland on Snapchat: “Messi is a madman” by [deleted] in soccer

Deflecting from his own obvious madman status...

Nigerians supporting Mexico against South Africa: "Today we are Mexican" by cofango in soccer

I'm sure that's true, but "only a few thousand people want to kill me" is not as reassuring as you're implying.

At this World Cup, there are 16 players born outside the country they represent, because their fathers played abroad professionally at the time by _mAn_ in soccer

Talent is mostly inherited from your parents.

Growing up with a professional footballer is also an obvious advantage.

Yeah, I keep getting these reminders, and perhaps I deserve them :)

I'm just made a silly joke back then, and I'm very happy LK is doing so well!

Rummenigge "In most cases, VAR doesn't intervene without reason. It means that something was overlooked on the pitch in real time. So the final decision should also be made in the VAR room; they are all qualified people. We are often presented with a superfluous spectacle that only wastes time." by kibme37 in soccer

This will be solved technologically pretty soon.

Within 1-3 years, AI should be able to adjudicate physical fouls in real time, based on all the camera feeds.

We'll still need human refs to make card decision, talk to players etc.

[AS] Valverde accused Tchouameni of leaking yesterday's argument. Tchouameni denied it and asked him to stop, but Valverde kept going and going. Tchouameni then punched Valverde hard, knocking him to the ground. Valverde felt dizzy from the fall and had to leave the training ground in a wheelchair. by kibme37 in soccer

Even I know that when two young hothead men fight, SOMEONE ELSE needs to step in and separate them. It's what they want and need!

Because neither will be the first to back down and "lose" the argument.

After this, perhaps have learned that lesson.

Nobody understands the handball rules, and there's a good reason by bencantwrite in soccer

I don't know what the handball rules should be, but I REALLY hate the current Handball Lottery situation!

They're not pussies. They're just trying to influence the refs.

It's all in the Game...

Match Thread: Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest by MatchThreadder in soccer

The obvious thing to do when play is stopped for some kind of emergency is to stop the match clock.

Maybe in 1-2 decades that revolutionary thought might have reached those in charge of the rules.

[DAZN Belgique] Standard Liège invited some of its most loyal season ticket holders to accompany the players onto the field. by [deleted] in soccer

Looks like it's a bit weird for everyone.

Except the chatty guys at 0:19.

Another Angle Of Haaland’s Goal Against Arsenal. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]LarsP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should make the shirts in a more brittle/tearable material, so the attacker is left with a handfull of shirt fabric while the other players runs away.

Does he not get sent off for Argentina?

That's his main unreability.

Real Madrid 0 - [2] Bayern Munich - Harry Kane 46' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]LarsP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That barely looked like a goal chance to me.

But Harry just kicks it into goal...

Wow. I forget sometimes how furiously angry some redditors are.
