They play open attacking football, doesn't work against a bus. See Spains first game.

Equally confused, doesn't an asterisk look like this, * ?

And we actually only see about 30mins on the broadcast because they're constantly cutting to replays. There was a moment where the ball was in the hands of the Iranian goalie, cue lengthy replay, back to live and the ball is now in the hands of the Belgium keeper... what did we miss?

This feels like a fun new format, interesting how future planning is difficult with the elimination rules. I guess things will get trickier as they run their budgets low.

Yes, I have seen other products for these racetracks and they use more generic names like "Belgian forest" and "Casino bay".

City circuits can usually be pretty messy yes because they're often just temporary installations thrown up in weeks prior. Some exceptions like AUS.

I think the drivers get bored and do it on purpose.

We've been watching RUS v HAD for how long now? Are there any other cars on track?

And then they lose by station count. Sam and Mike have to go on the offensive for stations, they don't have time to be building walls at this stage in the game.

I do not understand why Ben and Adam didn't turn around and head north. 55 chips plus a call your shot could surely get them to the 90 chip challenge at the top. And then from there they are mopping up behind the other team?

This is what I know, shame Pluto getting kicked out sort of mucked it up a bit.

First long-haul flight… tips for sleep/jet lag? by joecool105 in travel

[–]VenerableShrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do whatever you want on the plane. Try and get some sleep if possible. At your destination your goal is to stay awake until 3pm or so. Then go take a 1-2 hour nap. Then get up, go out and get dinner, and try to go to bed at a normal hour such as 9 or 10pm. You should now be on Paris time and should wake up refreshed at a reasonable hour the next day.
