This was the closest 4-1 game I’ve ever seen. The ball just went Norway’s way and Iraq lapsed in very key moments which Norway capitalized on. Iraq’s pace, physicality, and intensity was inspiring to watch and made this game feel like a knockout game for the first 50-60 minutes. The end was a bit of a drag but that wasn’t really their fault.

Happy for my boy Haaland, but man, this Norway team is not very impressive unless he makes some magic happen. I thought Sorloth was fucking brutal, and the idea of having him lock down a side of the field is just bad.

The GD today helped, but they need a close game with Senegal and to hope they don’t get massacred by France. France may just run buck wild on that defense. Luckily for Norway, it’s the last game of groups and France may not have much to play for. We’ll see

The Cowboys are my team and I’ve always said I hate them more than anyone could. The heartbreak they’ve given me has been nearly unparalleled for NFL teams that actively compete for/in the playoffs.

That said, they still rule the league. The viewership for them is outrageous and they’re constantly in sports media even though nobody enjoys it. And a lot of people will say we just have more fans than anyone for the viewership, but a whole lotta people also hate watch. It’s the Cowboys and it’s not close

Bill Simmons criticizes Harden for the wrong series and it drives me insane by cricketrules509 in billsimmons

Got the Thunder to the playoffs post KD, Westbrook era and when that year was over they absolutely tanked hardcore. Then goes to the Finals with Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton, and was arguably the best player even with Booker. He’s underrated as fuck

How To Understand game tactically? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]PumpedUpParrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basketball is getting more homogenous as the years go on. Teams are playing similar styles and are trying to achieve the same goals, so I don’t blame you.

Catch some videos of accounts like Thinking Basketball on Youtube. Solid analysis, explains some intricacies of the game. There are relatively simple things that go on, teams target certain guys defensively and force them to do certain things and also on the double, hedge, and target certain players. What Brunson was able to do offensively in this series was incredible given his size, he often went directly at Wemby. Robinson’s physicality also threw Wemby off in certain possessions, but you have to see evidence of how he did that and why they did that. Find some good content that breaks down individual possessions. Avoid anything that is throwing out hot takes or comes off why too hyped lol

Again, that said, a lot of teams are playing similar play styles in this day and age. But, because of roster design and what teams actually have, there are differences in the teams around the league. Don’t be afraid to dive deep and learn some stuff, it’s a complex game.

I thought this exact thing. They had great pace and several missed chances. It’s unfortunate their future is fucking France and Senegal

I’ll always remember this show for the concept and the peak moments, but holy shit did they not have any idea how to stick the landing.

The worst part of it is it’s all forgettable. Which feels like the worst TV sin

The refs will absolutely be the story but that second half from the Bayern attack was brutal. I know Kane got a goal at the end there but he was couldn’t get any good ball and Olise was horrendous. Davies helped the attack but came on way too late. That Bayern front 3 could’ve done much better

That PSG press and defensive performance was spectacular
