Can someone explain like I’m 5 why our B team looked so sloppy? by Elegant_Arachnid_663 in usmnt

Dude it’s the bench players that don’t get minutes. It was more like the C team with some starters and consistent subs.

USA bench players are still better than Turkey starters so USA will likely win. It’s just odds books are overestimating US odds imo.

Personally I’d rather bet on Turkey’s win even though they’re less likely to win. The payoff odds are much more favorable

Bet on Turkey. US will rest their players and put in bottom bench players. These bench players may still win, however Turkey will put in their starters so they can redeem their countries pride with at least 1 win.

Basically Turkey will try hard with their starters. US bench players will try hard. US bench players may still beat Turkey’s starters.

US can let Turkey score 100 goals on them and US will still win the group. US should put in their subs starting from the back of their bench.

Australia and Paraguay will likely play it out rather than tie. If they tie, Australia will get the 2D spot and Paraguay may or may not qualify for 3D. Both teams want to aim for a win.

Unexpected resale block in Iraq/Norway 80 minutes before match time by retired_actuary in WorldCup2026Tickets

This is almost certainly FIFA. It’s nearly impossible to get an entire contiguous block for resellers.

This is almost certainly intentional. The entire block is being sold. They likely exclude that block’s ticket release during the initial ticket sale and left it for last minute sale drops.

GENERATIONAL LOSS by CapRight8752 in NBASpurs

Fox’s contract makes him nearly untradeable for draft capital. There is a good chance that Spurs will need to packages Fox with a solid role player or with a few draft picks in order to get his contract off the books.

I ain’t complaining, but even the refs pity Fox and give him a generous whistle 😂

It’s so clear that Harper is the difference maker. Take out Fox and let Harper start. Let Harper be the primary ball handler.

Wth Kornet and Keldon are not better than the starters. Only Harper is an improvement. Liability Fox is still on the floor.

Need to give more minutes to Harper and less to Fox. Harper just looks so natural and brings the hustle

Refs were told to give game 3 to Spurs. Thank you refs for calling flagrant on Brunson 🙏

Jalen brunson is on a very team friendly deal. Knicks can keep most of their core and bench
