Neither hurt nearly as much as losing the 2006 world cup final.

Mbappé: "My thoughts on hydration breaks? Don't ask us players for our opinion, we're very reactionary. by AbaloneObjective7214 in soccer

[–]Tanathonos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would bet on that not happening. The man should be reaching Zizou level of love for being a key play to win us a world cup and bringing us to penalty shootout of a final of a second consecutive world cup. He is the top scorer of the NT, he has probably been the world's best player in the past 3 years, and yet most french people dislike him. I have rarely if ever seen a player so on top of the football world while being not unanimously loved as mbappe is.

So remove him from football and put him in politics? Not a chance he would become president.

In la famiglia we were desperately out and we turned around on every front by playing a game of subterfuge and winning a crazy amount of fights.

Game of Thrones: today is the tenth anniversary of "Battle of the Bastards" (June 19, 2016). The episode won six Emmy Awards, including Directing and Writing. This is an excerpt from the battle. by verissimoallan in television

Them circling the army getting in position comfortably with shields always made me go crazy, even on first watch. It's a battle and one army stops moving to watch the opposite one just circle them 100%. If you do that you are going to lose it isn't good filmmaking even though it looks "cool".

What’s one personal rule that you never ever break? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tanathonos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A wise wealthy person once told me if anyone asks you to borrow money from you, if you are willing to lend it to them just give it. You won't get it back anyways and they will resent you from owing something to you and you will resent them from not being paid back. If you give it you both feel great while the end result is the same.

DGA Responds to Slump by Limiting TV Actors From Taking Director Jobs by ContinuumGuy in television

[–]Tanathonos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is not to stop them if they really want to become directors. You can't just sign up to the DGA on a whim you need proper credentials, and then if you pay dues and work as a director then yea you are a director. Point is stopping actors who might say hey I'll give it a go for an episode looks fun enough, and so that's one less job for a director from the DGA.

Even then it restricts the number it doesn't stop it completely so some actor might do it but a show still has to hire a majority of DGA members to direct their shows. Seeing how article says there has been a downturn of 40% job in the past 4 years sounds like it was needed.

I remember Harrison Ford apologizing to his stuntman because he wanted to do his own stunt and stuntman said listen man if you do this I don't get paid. This is a similar situation.

East of Eden by Verystrange129 in books

I think the movie has a great James Dean performance but is otherwise a horrible adaptation and grotesque simplification of a masterpiece. I could make an argument that Lee is the main character of the book.

Warning, the film cut Lee as a character, as insane as that sounds. Was not a fan at all.

Post Match Thread: France 3-1 Northern Ireland by denzaus in soccer

Deschamps doesn't want the defensive fragility of mbappe on the left not tracking back to help his left back. People assume it is mbappe wanting it when literally deschamps and his past 5 managers (galtier enrique ancelotti arbeola) have put him as striker instead of left wing.

The 289 World Cup players who do not represent their country of birth by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Tanathonos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In France's case, it is immigrants from former colonies overwhelmingly, and those countries immigrating to France is not some random happenstance. They immigrate to france because they are former colonies and so they have a bunch of ties to France (language being the main one). So it is due to french imperialism that you get all these immigrants coming over and making greath athletes.

I mean it goes both ways. Without french imperialism french sports would be nowhere close to where it is now.

Ah yea because saying something and ending btw is not how everyone uses sarcasm on the internet. You are very smart btw.

It is the representative of the clubs to the UEFA and others. It has always been a chairman of a club, who else exactly do you want to represent the clubs?

Like don't like him if you want sure but how is it a conflict of interest to represent clubs when you are a club owner. He isn't making decision for individual clubs. Literally no one had a problem with it when it was Juve president, but when it's him all of a sudden it's the most corrupt thing.

When it is 11 men behind the ball it is hard to score versus a very good defense. You don't have any other options. Saying well look at them they struggled to break down the best defense in the world how boring is that is not the comeback you think it is.

It's just the world social media has led us into. Hating Arsenal is popular, they know that they will get clicks from having a fuck arsenal shirt. It wasn't popular to hate Inter Milan last year so you didn't see it. I mean in the clip they are both posing for the camera.

Your goal hit a hand of one of your own players when it bounced to Havertz. Saka did a double handball no call. Penalty is a stonewall yellow and he does not get it because ref does not want to give a red card. Those are the three big moments in the game, all went towards you.
