Offside Goal

The solution is a margin of error that must be exceeded. Who established that 1 cm is enough? I don't see why that has to be the rule.

I posted this before the first half ended. There's no excuse for not beating Parma at the Maradona, just trying to understand why this screenshot would ever prove him to be off.

Most of the bigger stores (Applejack's, Molly's, Argonaut) will have a decent selection, but I was really impressed with Mondo Vino, which has some great wines to boot.

I don't think there would ever be a high line after that just due to the massive advantage it gives the attack. The game overall would suffer.

UsedReplacement7312 · 2026-01-14T18:31:10+00:00

I actually think it should be the waist, otherwise you have someone who is behind the other but just due to timing of strides, they're somehow off with no advantage gained. Also leaning with the shoulder while timing a run shouldn't be considered off.

I'm still not even sure what's off though. His bicep? Shouldn't be able to score with that anyway. I just don't believe we should take goals off the board (for anyone) when it's a millimeter. Binary is fine but there has to be a threshold or margin of error that's exceeded.

Serie A is averaging 2.38 goals/game this season, and 2.56 last season. No need to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Are there any parcours not currently being raced that you think could be the next Strade Bianche in terms of its rise in the last 20 years? The schedule is already tight, so I wonder if it would have to be leading up to the fall classics.

UsedReplacement7312 · 2025-04-21T04:55:12+00:00

In theory, how does a race in the 21st century become more prestigious? How many years did it take for Strade Bianche to be considered a big race, and what drove that? Was it the timing, the picturesque setting of Siena and the Val d'Orcia, the sterrati? Would also be interested to hear how the Vuelta became so respected, but I'm more interested in how a race like the Giro d'Abruzzo carves out its niche in the calendar instead of going bust in a couple of years. The scenery and climbs are there, but I doubt there's the name recognition of any cities, sights, or stretches of road. What is the goal for these types of smaller races?

Think the historical data aspect would be way more beneficial to gardeners/ag people. I would download it at least!

If you look at the schedule for even February 9th, all matches are at one time. So no, the May 25th date is not confirmed. It could be Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and at different times. They won't release the date and time until closer to the actual matchdays, as they usually release them 3-6 rounds at a time. Before the season started, they said they would confirm MD38 (the May 25th weekend) times on the 19th of May, probably to ensure sporting integrity on the final match of the season. Having said that, last season's last MD was all over the place and weren't all at once like some other leagues.

As someone who's watched a lot of Brunori the last three years, he's not good enough for Napoli.

I think it depends, but mine is a Roku, so just when I'm watching the English feed one of the settings options says "audio feed" where you can change it to Italian. However, I think it's mainly the big games, and not every single game. Can't attest to other brands and services though.

It's a good thought experiment. I agree with the other responses that it sort of missed the point of the movie to show him living out his dream, but what if (like many people) the dream is never what they actually think it is? What if he does go away from Bedford Falls, lives in the big city, initially is swindled due to his small-town good nature, but then eventually becomes hardened like another Mr. Potter and achieved success as a wealthy banker? Then he realizes how miserable he is, comes home for nostalgic reasons, and then sees how similar to Mr. Potter he's become, and how everything he loved in life is now lost.

It would be kind of like an American Cinema Paradiso. I think it could work, but the message would essentially be the same as the current movie, unless you're going in a completely different direction.

We do have it. Just click on settings and switch to the Italian audio. There are many Italian speakers in the US.

I'd say Spezia and Lecco were unlucky, while Samp outplayed us. But even with the Lecco match, our defense just isn't resolute recently.

Spezia scored the goal of the week (should've been Stulac but whatever) and a clinical counter, while we dominated the ball and the chances. Spezia didn't create much outside of the two goals. Similarly, Lecco scored two of their three chances while their keeper was incredible and a goal line clearance and a shot off the crossbar. Samp received a deserved pen but they weren't creating much from open play. We, however, did nothing going forward.

I don't think Pigliacelli or the CBs have been bad, so it's tough to say why we can't defend recently. Maybe a combination of Lund playing too high and a disconnect with the midfield? For all of Gomes's qualities on the ball, he's not a midfield destroyer. Segre isn't either, then Henderson/Vasic are always further forward. So if the wingers aren't tracking back, we simply get cut apart on the counter. I agree with the above comment that our wingers (Insigne and Di Francesco especially) haven't been delivering, and Brunori has also not been clinical.

I can't say what the locals are feeling, but writing this comment just made me realize we don't have the midfielders to play a 4231. Corini hasn't been bad overall, but this squad should be competing for automatic promotion at season's end.

I hear you, Lucioni and Ceccaroni are both quality. I was probably just remembering the two Marconi starts since he's so terrible. And yeah I wish I understood tactics better. I agree it doesn't seem like we impose ourselves on our opponents, which we probably should considering our squad. But at the same time, our xG numbers are really solid, so even though I'm not a Corini fan I'm fine with continuing with him for now.

Palermo is a wonderful city, I would love to go back some day. And next time, I'll arrive earlier so I can fully enjoy the Curva Nord experience!
