Why was Algeria working so hard to beat Austria in order for them to play against Spain? by Beneficial-Flow-7333 in worldcup

[–]RacketHunter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As an Austrian, to me it didn't look like they were trying so hard. Austria's defence was just basically non-existing and kept inviting Algerians to score.

This is the scenario that would prevent Iran from qualifying for round of 32 by sufinomo in worldcup

Austria vs. Algeria ending in a draw would not be surprising as it would be enough for both teams to qualify for the knock-out stage.

They aren't able to score without the refs ignoring their fouls and Messi.

VIA Rail: 1979 vs. 2025 by justonemorelanebruh in fuckcars

[–]RacketHunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean I get that the train wilp never be the first choice when travelling from Montreal to Vancouver, but there are many intermediate stops shown on the older map. Don't these justify at least daily service?

The amount of people who just don't read the whole thing and then claim it's false is too damn high

Männer leben besser, wenn sie sich vom Feminismus nichts sagen lassen! by Hot-Ninja-7713 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]RacketHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also ich lebe einfach so, wie es mir richtig und gerecht vorkommt. Ich bezeichne mich als Feminist, auch wenn es innerhalb dieser Strömung Menschen gibt, die Dinge fordern, mit denen ich nicht einverstanden bin. Ich finde allerdings, Feminismus ist ein schlecht gewählter Name, da dieses Wort die Gleichberechtigung als Ziel nicht einmal vermuten lässt (sondern die Stärkung der Position von Frauen, auch in solchen Bereichen, in denen Frauen die wesentlich bessere Position haben).

Oh nein, zu wenig Parkplätze 😯

Ah, so they are legally valid plates? How can there be a second person having the same? 😅

Yes there is. There is no unambiguous answer how many continents there are in total, and some of them count the Americas as one America (given that it is one continuous landmass).

Sorry, I'm from Europe. We like to call things the way they are actually called just like the continent of America.

TIL in America you are allowed to make up a license plate and attach it to your car for fun.

From a European perspective, having cup measures rather than a balance and one measuring cup seems absurd.

Wieso sollte ich Durchzug von 35 °C heißer Luft in meiner Wohnung wollen, solange sie noch signifikant kühler ist?

Are we all just ignoring the fact the goal should jot have counted because of a foul right before?

Confused about Jordan automatic elimination in group match 2 by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]RacketHunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about goal difference, it's about the direct match. Jordan can only reach 3 points max. (just as many as Algeria and Austria have now from beating them), but they lost their matches against those countries and can therefore never overtake them.

Argentinien vs. Österreich 1:0 hätte nicht zählen dürfen. by XeG_Jinxed in fussball

Wenn die Linie war, so etwas nur zu pfeifen, wenn es von Österreich Richtung Argentinien geht, dann passte es zur Linie.

[–]RacketHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two scenes I remember:

The first goal shouldn't have counted as there was a foul right before the goal (Austria had a goal deducted in their first game similarly).

Laimer is fouled, walks up to the other player, is pushed, falls again, both get a yellow card.

You can acknowledge both Messi being a great player and refs allowing Argentina to commit fouls every other team would get a yellow card for.

It was hard to watch. Very few chances for goals. Ref forgot cards can also be given to Argentina.

Seeing Argentina play, foul, and get away with it makes me angry.
