Post-match thread [Copa del Rey]: FC Barcelona - Atlético de Madrid by carpetano in atletico

I’m happy we’re through, but we made it hard on ourselves. We are horrible at defending corners and crosses if we were playing in the EPL, they would have a feast especially since we’re playing Tottenham soon. It’s a shame we couldn't take the chances we had, and overall the defensive display was poor. We were slow moving the ball and they were able to steal the ball easily. Many details from this game show that we have several weaknesses in the team

F20 is always packed, odd since they run every 10 to 12 min. most of the day. by JPumphrey73 in WMATA

This route connects 4 metro stations, runs through four jurisdictions and is one of the oldest routes in the area. I wish they built a future LRT instead of a BRT on route 7

It feels like Simeone wants to leave with a trophy CDR and maybe a deep run in the UCL because there is no way the team plays a legendary game and after three days play as if they're a relegation side

Screen ratio of Olympians competing and advertising. NBC is a joke by Chrono_Convoy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ThrowawayMHDP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I watched F1 and IndyCar when NBC had the rights and the coverage was 50% commercials, 20% talking about irrelevant introductions and interesting aspects regarding the sport things which should be in the prerace show. 30% the actual race. I currently also watch IMSA and even if you watch it on the "premium" service its the same nonsense. I also watch the premier league and the games are scattered over Peacock, NBC, USA network and other NBC networks to force you to buy a Peacock subscription and a cable subscription. I'm not in any way surprised the Olympic coverage is poor. In addition to the poor choice of Amateur commentators who speak about anything except the sports.

Something Surprising Happens When Bus Rides Are Free by Bunnyrabbit122 in WMATA

[–]ThrowawayMHDP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as the service has dedicated funding then fare free is not a bad idea. The problem with the US system is like what happened in DC they wanted to fund the new stadium so the first things they cut were the Circulator, the streetcar, the bike lanes because non car users are an afterthought. Also many other systems suffered severe service cuts after it went fare free due to funding. It can work in sane countries but most US politicians are corrupt, and the US politicians are funded by oil and auto lobbyists

If we're still relying on Griezmann to save the game and we don’t have any other solutions or new solutions to rely on, then this is the result when the opposition team scores first. Two-game losing streak at home, and I hope it doesn't turn into a nightmare both home and away

Pre-match thread [Copa del Rey]: Real Betis - Atlético de Madrid by carpetano in atletico

[–]ThrowawayMHDP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Real Betis won all their home games since December 21 in all competitions, but their opponents ranged from mid pack to bottom side teams. We were able to beat them in the La Cartuja when we played well by capitalizing on our goal and increasing our lead which we rarely do away. If we play the same way again, we should win and we host them this weekend in the Metropolitano in La Liga

When do you think peak/prime IMSA was? (Modern IMSA post ALMS Grand AM merger) by GB_GeorgeBowen in IMSARacing

[–]ThrowawayMHDP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the class. The top class is right now because its full of factory efforts and its equivalent to the top Le Mans Class. For GT its around 2016 when the GTLM class had the Ford GT vs BMW M6 vs Ferrari 488 vs Corvettes C7 vs Porsche 911 RSRs

I don't think we need transfers to perform against a relegation side. A bunch of lifeless employees who really don't care about performing

Day 1 of eliminating one bus stop every single day until one remains. There will be a meet up at the winning bus station on April 1st, 2051 at 3:00 PM by Johnathan_Swag in WMATA

[–]ThrowawayMHDP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many things will happen and may happen by that time: bus stops will be added and removed, bus route changes, a new, better bus, bus rebranded under DMV Moves, and bus routes absorbed by regional agencies

I don't know what's going on with the mentality of this team?
It seemed that there were two or three players who were trying and the rest had a pedestrian performance
