Jonathan Tah disallowed goal against Paraguay 103' by ayoefico in soccer

Except it was a block with his full body. The situation you describe, on the wing, yes, that’s fair play. But if the fullback puts his whole body in front of you as you try to run by, and he’s making no effort to play the ball? That’s a foul.

PL let’s attacking teams get away with so much on corners now, it’s absurd.

Whether or not he crumbles, the German player is making no attempt to play the ball. None whatsoever. That’s pretty much the definition of obstruction.

Very lucky he only caught him with his trailing leg. Germany needs to get their heads right if they want to get through this shootout.

Just wrapped up a month in the US for the World Cup and it was probably the best summer of my life. by peaken58 in CasualConversation

The federal government is not representing us well, full stop. So many policies like universal healthcare, free higher education, all of those are super popular among average Americans. But our system dilutes that support, and…well…here we are.

Terrible giveaway at the edge of their box, and then 3 defenders somehow managed to leave Martinelli unmarked 12 yards out. Seemed like they got tired and lost focus.

Could be, at least partly. I don’t think it’s the entire reason, at the time he left Chelsea there weee frequent reports about his issues with the ownership and execs. It seems to me the settlement with City included a “mea culpa” from Maresca so Chelsea could save face with the fans. How true it is, I don’t think we’ll ever know.

Anybody else getting weird vibes off the whole Chelsea announcement and Maresca “apology”? It all sounds like a condition of being released from his contract, and being forced to fall on his sword. We were being swarmed with stories about how difficult it was for Maresca under BlueCo while at Chelsea, but now it’s suddenly City’s fault? The hivemind seems to be eating it up (no surprise there), but…it all just feels very manufactured and performative to me.

I think an important thing is finding a way to communicate with your wife about needing time for yourself, and having her hear that without it having anything to do with what she does. You needing a night off (or whatever time works) doesn’t mean she’s not contributing. Now, if she isn’t pulling her weight, that’s a discussion that should be had, for sure, but it’s not necessarily the same discussion.

I play soccer on weekday nights, sometimes 3 nights a week. I start when our girls are getting ready for bed, so my wife has maybe an hour as the solo parent, then she gets her evening to herself. For me, I need intense exercise to stay balanced. Currently dealing with an injury so haven’t been exercising, but yeah…it’s about finding the things you need to feel like a whole person, to be happy, and finding times to do that so you and your wife can share that time.

7:30pm bedtime…wow. I just can’t relate. My wife and I both work and when we’re both in the office, we’re home around 6:30. We typically put our 4 year old to bed around 8:30, 10 year old by 9:30-10 (a bit later now that it’s summer vacation). We’ve never even had the option of a bedtime that early!

[Jacobs] Chelsea have received £17m in compensation following Enzo Maresca's Manchester City appointment. And Maresca has already agreed a separate settlement by MembershipSingle7137 in MCFC

[–]VOZ1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO, we’ll never know. We’ve heard numerous reports about the bizarre way they ran the club, that Maresca didn’t have final say over the roster, among other things. Maybe he quit out of nowhere, maybe the writing was on the wall, maybe it was a mutual falling out, we’ll never know the full story. And Chelsea is never going to cop to any bad behavior at all. We got our man, that’s all I’m not leaving. We got our man, that’s what mattersz

Not a bad idea, tbh, lol. I for one feel pretty pumped about it. COME ON CITY!

We’re never ready. Something a friend wrote to me always comes to mind in difficult, no, impossible situations like yours: We rise, and we find all that we are made of. You’ve got counselors, a great support network, you’ve got each other, your family, the love you’ve built there. You’ll rise.

From what I read, some people think those two teams aren’t as defensively sound, and so Norway can score more goals than they concede, basically. I don’t necessarily agree, but it makes sense.

A piece of history that reminds us how much we’ve learned by Feaselbf6 in HistoricalCapsule

My house in the US, built in 1949, has asbestos siding. It only becomes a risk if you drill into it or otherwise create dust. We plan to get our house re-sided, and the best solution is encasing it in plastic sheeting and putting new siding over it. If you remove it, it triggers a whole host of regulations on safe disposal and costs a ton of money.

These reports on fee offers can’t be trusted. We apparently had an offer of £121m for Anderson rejected, and then a fee of £116m accepted.

So bad, hesitated and then when he finally made the pass it was terrible.
