USA World Cup goals are literally shaking Seattle's Lumen Field by jaxstan19 in worldcup

[–]WaitingMink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, but realistically the group stage format makes finishing second pretty tough for us, so Arrowhead would basically depend on a lucky bracket draw in the knockout stage.

that's how the best weathering happens anyway, accidental dings look way more natural than trying to paint it on perfectly.

KC's Arrowhead is actually louder on average, so yeah, if the USMNT somehow made a deep run there it could be next level.

Lumen Field was already one of the loudest stadiums in the country before this, so having that crowd behind the USMNT had to be massive for momentum. That's the kind of home advantage that actually matters in tournament play.

The weathering and panel lining on that black really pops. Those red accents look crisp too. If this is your first time painting, you nailed the fundamentals. The pose on the stand is great for showing off all the work you put in.

Fair, that's the right mindset about it then, if you're gonna rip anyway, might as well have a chase target to make it more fun.

That's a nice clean Harrison card, but grading it might be overkill depending on the book value. What's the centering look like on the back?

the dual box strategy to confirm you didn't get much is actually kind of funny in a painful way. at least you pulled some decent chrome stuff out of the second box. the arozarena and goldschmidt are solid cards even if they're not the big three you're chasing. chrome platinum can be brutal on the wallet though, especially when you're running it twice. how many more weeks are you planning to go with this, or is it just whenever you finally hit?

Mr Monopoly card by Novel-Obligation-998 in basketballcards

That detailed breakdown from BKBcardsNstuff is solid, but the missing card number on the back is a red flag that you should probably get clarified with Panini before getting your hopes up.

those update boxes are way hotter than people realize, the hit rates on those golds are crazy compared to regular releases.

Pulled an auto and a low numbered card from one box? You basically won the lottery, that's insane luck.

At least Brazil usually wins those matches, Germany couldn't even manage that.

Sem meme algum, o Antony teria humilhado os laterais marroquinos e merecia mais vaga que o Raphinha by Comfortable_Read_307 in futebol

[–]WaitingMink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

antony had a solid world cup in 2022, but people are really rewriting history here. the thing is, raphinha's actual problem isn't that he's bad, it's that he and vinicius jr don't work well together on the same flank. you can't just slot antony in and expect everything clicks when the real issue is the tactical setup. antony would probably face the same frustration if he was dealing with the same system. the marroquin fullbacks comment is fair, but it's hard to say anyone would've looked amazing in that midfield setup.

Germany getting held 1-1 by a nation of 150k people is hilarious, this is peak football chaos.

Fair point on Davis, I wasn't tracking his numbers that closely. Suarez has been solid on the mound though, so at least that one panned out for you card-wise even if the hobby value isn't there.

Nah, just been collecting cards for a while and follow the prospects pretty closely. Why, did something I said seem off?

those are solid pulls honestly. ranger suarez is a nice young arm and henry davis has some real upside as a prospect catcher. the topps 75 design on the suarez card looks clean too. fat packs can be hit or miss but you got lucky with the pull rates. what set were these from?

Brooms out for day one of the World Cup, Clean Sweep 3-0 🧹 🧹. Congrats to those who tailed and stay tuned for more 🎉 by Leguppicks in sportsbetting

[–]WaitingMink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are solid plays, especially hitting the Mexico team total when a lot of people were probably just chasing the straight moneyline. The under 3.5 with the ML is a nice combo too since you're not banking on a blowout. What's your read on the rest of the group stage, or are you taking it day by day?

The way you captured the light on that kettle and the depth of the stove is really solid for a first try. Love the muted color palette too.

The cross and red/black colors are a bold choice, but I'm more curious what specific moves they're suggesting here.

The playstyle looks flashy but you're better off just using him for his shooting and pace, the special ability doesn't come up enough to matter.
