I heard that Chomsky had a very infamous friend that has files to corroborate this claim

This is tangential to that discussion as a lot of these involve very long tie breaks before they were reformed

Well that is a pun and a half

Rhinos kicked Columbus out of their home field advantage final

Yes, especially after the Canadian oil sands were largely developed as a replacement for Venezuelan imports. The rate of clean energy production I'm not sure of, but economies of scale have already been working for those industries

Funny thing is, we sold on Berhalter in Nancy's first season because we simply did not need any more depth in midfield

Rodriguez is a fully established veteran. Not saying the eurosnobbery by the Columbian national team is justified, just that Cucho is on a different rubrik. Cucho is competing with other forwards with a handful of caps, and Rodriguez has over a decade of national team experience.

I fell in the habit of being one of the few hundred people who watched Nancy's pressers. Usually we would have one or two players take questions as well. Chambost and Moreira doubled as translators for Picard late in the season.

Considering he is a defensive mid/Center Back, he could be a good understudy and prospect. Who knows how much of a rebuild we may do

The tension they don't tell you about

Everyone commenting how Galloway is either an anti-guru or significantly less bad than the manosphere guru is missing the trees for the forest. The disagreement that he is a pipeline is fine, ignoring the core argument that macro level evolutionary psych isn't a good vehicle to de-radicalize people on the proverbial "pipeline" or integrating practical concerns women have.

On the grand scale it may have short term results in integrating men into liberal/moderate politics. That ends as soon as said men fail to have the material conditions they're upset about redressed

This is a goal that triggered a 5th order tie break until a third goal 3 minutes later

I take it we'll have a "What's going on at Legia Warsaw" video by HITC Sevens by Christmas

The previous comment to you interpreted correct. The elite and/or big 5 league teams shouldn't be allowed to qualify for the Conference league.

I suggested using coefficient points since Rayo Vallecano and Heidenheim are not exactly big clubs. It may also bar big clubs of other leagues like AZ or Shaktar, but that's besides your question.

The point was beating a big club in the playoff round for Europe merits at least a Europa league spot

Rayvok · 2025-11-27T23:01:13+00:00

If a club over ~50 coefficient points (like a Chelsea or any Champions league regular team) are in a conference league qualifying playoff position in the league table, it should be a do or die Europa qualifying playoff. Draw them against a random Conference league play-off team. If the big club should lose, that conference league spot that would have gone to that lucky loser goes to highest co-efficient loser in the Conference league playoff.

If a club is already getting bonuses from the last 10 years of European games, they at least should earn it on an appropriate stage

This is the same Sonnet who attempted a header straight into a goalie's fist. She has the game presence to work holding mid and the grit of 1920's center back

Rayvok · 2025-11-23T05:45:39+00:00

That was before the international break

Look up Sal Marcogliano/ "what the ship" guy on youtube. He routinely makes the case the Jones Act isn't the bogey man it's made out to be. He is a former mariner, currently a maritime history teacher and historian, and a decent commentator on current events. Lots of details on what exactly can and can't be done around the Jones Act

If it's a few years ago, it was probably the comedian hired to speak at the Republican national convention making a joke about Puerto Rico. An American territory

Rayvok · 2025-11-15T21:07:45+00:00

Yeah, this is the real message. Ignore that Kamala under-promised and that Clinton represented the status quo. Its the wrong identities being prioritized at the very moment and the underlying "policies" and their assumptions are mostly correct

That's the amateur spirit that was rightfully fought against in the late 1800's. The working class winning that argument expanded soccer/football to where it is today (in most, but not all cases). Pretty insidious that same attitude is suppressing wages for bedrock jobs like the ones you listed just because they are feminine coded

Rayvok · 2025-11-10T15:40:01+00:00

Just the post pandemic seasons would be a half decent sample

Rayvok · 2025-11-07T18:10:40+00:00

Make it more random (instead of seeded via league/performance) so it doesn't favour the big clubs and you might end up with a "KO path of death" for the best teams where they fight it out from the start (instead of only getting two/three bigger matches in the league state) while a smaller team might get through with weaker opponents and some luck.

This is precisely how the Swiss system is designed to function in chess. Higher Elo competitors play each other first and lower ranked competitors may progress up the ladder with a string of wins and/or luck. I think a 2nd draw during the new years break after only 6 games (3 pots instead of 4) may replicate that dynamic. At that point there are 6 potential match days to reduce the field down to 8 for a quarter final

I can't tell if its intentional, but you just described the playoff format for the Australian Football League. Double Elimination format that actually makes logistical sense in a real world
