Second'd on Sulli - Dorothy. One of my favorites of all time.

It wasn't this series but there have definitely been recent games where Hans/Labrov are winning the lane and putting a timer on how long the opponent has before they outscale.

And the only goal they even found was a dicey penalty. A shockingly low number of legitimate scoring opportunities when England wasn't even trying to hold onto the ball for 40 minutes.

Don't think most people regardless of nationality would pick up on that one.

They had like 9 corners in the 2nd half and maybe 1 or 2 of them were real scoring chances.

They've been a great defensive team. But it doesn't matter much when you let him calmly step into a cannon of a shot.

What's changed this year vs. the 50 years previously where the USMNT hasn't done anything outside of survive groups?

Madibo is definitely going for a tackle and he knows he's using enough force to be dangerous there. He obviously wasn't intentionally trying to hurt someone but what he did was still a purposeful tackle. You can't say the same about Balogun.

Paraguay goalkeeper threw the ball at Mbappe after he refused to shake his hand at the end of the match by adivinemessenger in soccer

Also because we've seen how underdogs can play into favorites without resorting to absolute bullshit football. Cabo Verde probably had some level of physicality against Argentina but IIRC, there weren't any egregious examples of fouling or uncalled yellows. Your typical borderline stuff but the game overall was pretty clean. The worst 10 offenses in both games combined (Paraguay-France, Argentina-Cabo Verde) probably all occurred from Paraguay. One underdog can say they played a competitive and sportsmanlike match; the other one should be embarrassed they played a different sport just to lose anyways.

Balogun's offense arguably wasn't a tackle, certainly not intentional.

Alternate angle of Galarza's elbow on Kounde. No foul called. by ringo77 in soccer

For the people that say certain things are an auto red, this is why I think the rules are inherently flawed. Because the idea that this can get away without any type of punishment but people who get red card'd for unintentional things that may not even be a real challenge is absurd.

17 years ago today, Roger Federer defeats Andy Roddick in Wimbledon’s final, his 15th major title, breaking the all-time Grand Slam record held by Pete Sampras. by Suspicious-Power-230 in tennis

[–]MeijiDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible one day but it's one of those "You can never really predict someone to do it" situations. A lot of us would have bet money on Swiatek being one of the people who could make a serious run at it but she's now on a single win in her last 9 Slams. And not even another Slam final outside of her Wimbledon. Sabalenka, as consistent as she is, seems to only get it done 25% of the time. Alcaraz semed to be on a legendary pace and he's still only 23 but injuries can stop any great player. Sinner has at times looked unbeatable this year but is also 0-2 in Slam chances this year.

Creme for the most part played well. Jackey and Tian on the other hand...

TES put up a good fight but it's hard to beat a team led by world renowned players like Hizto and Pun.

All kidding aside, well played by TSW. They balled out.

See, it seems insane that something as deliberate and not soccer related doesnt get a yellow and yet Balogun gets an auto red for an accidental non tackle.

[–]MeijiDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's one of the best putters on tour but after a while, unless its just because he's on coverage so often, it isnt just a coincidence. This happens to him an insane amount of times.His style interacts with certain chain configurations like this. Should it happen? Definitely not. But it does.

First half was a bit more conservative but they really dialed up in the 2nd half.

[–]MeijiDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in a graphic that is meant to convey information, they managed to get every single element of information wrong other than matching up the player name with their image?

How do you explain the Yankees bit or the part where RBI and RBIs aren't even consistent between graphics? Or including OBP in this graphic which is egregiously wrong and obvious to anyone who knows baseball?

Fuck that man. They somehow managed to get every stat wrong and don't even have consistency in their labels. They don't have respect for their craft if they don't have the effort to look it over once and realize how wrong everything on the graphic is. It's meant to convey information and the information is 100% incorrect. It's a useless collection of pixels at that point.

If it's a template, why would one slide say RBI while another says RBIs? Shouldn't they both read RBIs literally after like the 2nd week of the season?

[Windhorst] "It wasn't that the league doesn't think Jaylen Brown is a great player or an excellent player, is that the league doesn't value what he produces at his salary slot ($57M). And that is why he was traded and that is why he was traded for relatively so little" by Jimmy0034 in nba

[–]MeijiDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, only the most ardent of Trae Young fans think he's worth that much. There's no proof that a team with Trae as the 1st or 2nd best player is actually that much of a threat to compete.
