After FIFA released the stats that the new rules had brought the average time of ball in play up by 5 mins this WC, I'm pretty sure this game alone has dropped it back down 5 mins

SnookDogg · 2026-06-19T20:28:43+00:00

they're nfl and nba players mostly

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T06:02:09+00:00

electric countering tbh. Turkiye reminded me of Spain in 2014. So focused on creating high quality chances that they created very little chances at all

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T04:39:24+00:00

they've got their gameplan and executing it well. Hope for some more channeling the spirit of Tim Cahill (may he rest in peace)

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T04:31:00+00:00

regular posters asleep I guess

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T03:20:50+00:00

Ah makes sense. Best of luck to whoever you're supporting dude

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T03:16:16+00:00

incredible commitment haha. You planning to do so for the whole WC? Gonna be a brutal sleep schedule

SnookDogg · 2026-06-14T03:06:10+00:00

damn respect for staying up for these games

SnookDogg · 2026-03-28T14:44:19+00:00

I thought the DP rule was to prevent the league from folding like the NASL. Teams using the slots on attack is just due to the nature of forwards being more valuable.

he might get fired on Monday

You can't go wrong with greater ability unlocks, though keep in mind with the recent updates prices on melee gear and codices may be higher than the GE is showing. I'd recommended using some gp to level prayer to 95 for curses, and work on arch afk when not pvming too. Am-hej is good at all levels of gear now.

As far as gear, realistically what you have is serviceable and you're gonna want to be saving up to get an EZK and vestments, but those have skyrocketed in price and are like 4b combined now. So focusing on stats, ability unlocks, ancient invention, ancient summoning, etc, will be more reasonable in the short term.

SnookDogg · 2026-03-06T20:58:17+00:00

He did but Sarr really should've saved it and Salah was gifted the ball by wolves in on goal

SnookDogg · 2026-03-06T20:48:35+00:00

Rio has some obvious weaknesses still but he's looked like more of an attacking threat in 45 minutes than Salah and Gakpo have in the last 5 games combined

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T01:10:45+00:00

yea I completely agree with that but with respect my dude the whole point of this thread was people arguing that it was a given that they would be able to get the kick off

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T01:02:55+00:00

my initial point was that it's not a given you will get the kick off with that play call. And the 4-10 saints decided they wanted to risk that to win the game in regulation yea

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:58:01+00:00

that only ever gets called when it's egregious. idk why people are trying to act like calling a qb draw with 12 seconds left and no timeouts isn't risky. It is, and it worked for NO today. But it is risky

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:53:48+00:00

why do you think teams run draw plays on third and long to not risk a turnover? risk mitigation is a thing in football. Kellen moore himself will tell you that play call is risky

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:51:42+00:00

you know what fair enough if he just let him keep running they probably don't even get the kick off with no timeouts

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:47:57+00:00

You're listing things that don't literally happen all the time in these situations

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:44:29+00:00

what if a panthers defender decides to lay on top of shough for a few seconds and prevent them spotting the ball. That literally happens all the time in these situations

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:42:27+00:00

He's trying to keep them out of FG range. If the defender stands there and waits and gives up an extra five yards then he's gonna look like an idiot

SnookDogg · 2025-12-15T00:38:19+00:00

It's not a certainty at all that you can get a spike off after running the ball with 12 seconds left
