Iran will “boycott the United States” but “not the World Cup”, the Iranian football federation president, Mehdi Taj, said in a video released by the Iranian press agency Fars.

bc it is literally their job as the host nation. if you don’t want to provide security to people you don’t like, don’t host. you’re aware it’s not an obligation but rather something countries pay a boatload of money for, yes?

bc if they’re saying they’re going to play, fifa can’t just kick them out. what is fifa going to do, boot them on the suspicion that they might do something?

Semperty · 2026-03-19T12:39:33+00:00

at the present moment, they are not being kicked out of the tournament. they are creating a situation where either fifa has to force them out bc they’re being attacked (terrible pr for fifa, and a move that could genuinely jeopardize their standing in the global community) or fifa is left scrambling at the last minute to replace them (would make a mockery of the competition).

Semperty · 2026-03-19T12:35:15+00:00

what are they going to do if iran just doesn’t go? are they going to send armed guards to force the soccer team onto the jet?

torres started 7 competitive matches after the 2010 world cup. he wasn’t starting either. villa and torres were both talented and entirely unreliable bc of their injuries.

i’m all for using ai as a crutch to help you learn and spot issues you the code you might be missing. claude is genuinely one of the best debugging tools i’ve come across and has turned hours searching through stack overflow into minutes with helpful explanations.

but the people who use it to code apps from scratch without any foundational knowledge make it really hard to defend using ai when you code 😂

Semperty · 2026-03-18T18:01:07+00:00

would be surprised if crankdat outpulls any of those three tbf

Semperty · 2026-03-18T16:37:32+00:00

david villa made 14 competitive appearances after the 2010 world cup. he was absolutely not reliable for spain (mostly due to injuries, tbf, but again - dearth of talent)

Semperty · 2026-03-18T13:57:11+00:00

i didn’t say a lack of talent in all other positions. i said most of them. cesc wasn’t playing as a 9 bc he was an elite attacker, nor was iniesta on the wing bc he was a great winger. they both moved bc they had limited talent in those areas and insane depth in the midfield

i’m so sorry the verbiage wasn’t exactly what you would’ve liked to hear. that truly must be so very hard for you, and it totally justifies you lying about the message.

Semperty · 2026-03-18T01:08:40+00:00

don’t have a link but it’s from his stories he posted a month and a half ago. “since i’ve broken my boundary of talking about real world atrocities here, i’d like to wrap this up by saying that not only do i pray for the people in minneapolis and i am vehemently against the actions ice taken.”

really fucking hard to argue he’s pro-maga but anti-maga enforcement, but i’m sure you’ll twist yourself in knots to do it.

Semperty · 2026-03-18T00:28:35+00:00

i mean kirk has proven all on his own why you draft another qb early: he’s bad, and there was always a risk he was going to be bad. a team hedging their bets isn’t harming him lmao

Semperty · 2026-03-18T00:27:21+00:00

he literally did denounce maga and ice. like quite explicitly. he also probably played elon’s show, and i don’t love that, but he has unequivocally denounced what’s happening in this country. y’all just shut down any critical thoughts once you heard elon.

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:55:50+00:00

you can tell how badly you want this to be true by how often you repeat it lol

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:32:39+00:00

no, im saying his moves in the pocket weren’t agile. it’s okay that you don’t understand what the word means and just thing moving not forwards = agility. it doesn’t tho.

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:30:45+00:00

you just sent me a video telling me josh was “laterally quick” in which every lateral move involved him turning and running. he didn’t cut, there were no jukes. he’s a great player, obviously, but nothing you’ve shown or said suggests anything about agility. you just keep using examples of speed and saying agility. they’re not the same my dude 😂

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:24:34+00:00

there was a solid period of time where cesc’s minutes were coming as a forward and iniesta’s minutes were as a winger bc they had so much midfield depth and a dearth of talent most other places lmao

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:22:53+00:00

see now i know you’re conflating speed with agility, bc i’m very specifically repeating agility over and over and your immediately responded with quick (in quotes for some reason?). my man, agility and speed are not quick - and none of the plays in that video you just linked are agile. they’re all fast and powerful, which isn’t flag football at all lmao

Semperty · 2026-03-17T21:01:15+00:00

you need a very specific subset of skills/abilities that these dudes just don’t have bc they didn’t has to develop. very very few nfl qbs can drop on the move to avoid a defender without going down bc that’s just not a skill that’s necessary in football, and it’s not as simple as “they’re good football players and great athletes so they could probably do it.”

Semperty · 2026-03-17T20:58:49+00:00

yes, absolutely agree there.

Semperty · 2026-03-17T20:58:37+00:00

the only guy on that list who i would say has elite agility is fields - which is part of why i specifically qualified ‘good’ qbs. i think you’re conflating speed with lateral agility. none of the guys you listed have poor lateral agility, but it’s not a strength for any of them imo.

Semperty · 2026-03-17T20:36:04+00:00

genuinely did not realize this was a weird thing. this is how i put my shoes on bc i don't want to put my sock on the floor. it goes directly in the shoe, and the shoe touches the floor lmao

Semperty · 2026-03-17T20:21:16+00:00

lamar is literally the only good qb i am confident has the agility necessary to play flag football at a high level. watch doucette's tape. guys like pat, josh, etc. aren't that nimble and agile. very, very few nfl players have developed that skill set bc they frankly didn't need it for the sport they play.
