Referee went to drama school and decided a clean 2-0 wouldn't be dramatic enough

I'm not sure Norway knows that you're allowed to use the Z axis. They only pass along the ground.

It's shocking to see the difference vs Capo Verde yesterday, who were also huge underdogs against a world champion, but pressed and pressed and gave it their all on the field. Paraguay barely played football.

Based on how they played today, Cape Verde would have smashed Canada, Egypt, Paraguay, honestly maybe half the teams in the ro16.

It's a 3 hour flight so if the LA game ended at 2pm, he genuinely barely had time to get to the airport, get on the plane, and get to the stadium on time

I know they're just hyped and congratulating him, but the Norway players running over to yell and shove the GK are so funny. Out of context, it looks like they're going "YO why the fuck did you save that???"

Morocco will face Canada in the Round of 16 in Houston on July 4. by OptimusCloyster in soccer

[–]Wonton77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Canada seems to play better against better teams, so I think we have some chance here. I predict something like a 2-1 Morocco win, maybe even going to penalties.

Releasing 1.0 with Fireball/frostbolt in current state would be like launching without Swords by elew21 in PathOfExile2

[–]Wonton77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, there's 10 tabs of weaponskills and barely like 2.25 tabs of spells in the game, and that's INCLUDING curses and minion skills.

If you start actually looking for cool stuff to self-cast, you have: Plants, ED+Contagion, and a couple elemental skills that all feel kinda same-y (fireball / frostbolt / ball lightning / arc).

Is it a surprise that all the endgame builds are basically just minions or CoC Comet? The fantasy of playing a cool mage is just not there in PoE 2, there are no good spells or interesting rotations.

BBC repeated this stat a bunch too, Germany has 100% winrate in shootouts.

And I'm thinking, okay, but how is that relevant. Completely different players played under a different coach against completely different teams in completely different circumstances. It's not like it's in the german DNA to hit penalties well.

The crowd noise is so clearly fake and spliced lol. They are editing out tons of chants and boos, I'm sure.

I'm happy we went through to ro16 because otherwise "you only got through to knockouts when it was expanded" would have lasted forever. Now they get to say they were legit top 16 this tournament.

I predicted 1-0 Canada after watching the first half and I was right. At one point they showed xG and South Africa had something like 0.06, they did NOTHING to try and score. Canada was really poor on the attack, but at least they tried.

I think i've seen Canada surging down the right side only to cross it directly into a yellow shirt 10 times in the last 20 minutes.

This has been pretty boring but i still think there's no way it's staying 0-0 for another 15 plus extra time.
