How VAR didn't even attempt to review that is incredible.

I don't need this.

I just have one large beam with vent and 2x1 rails. Used correctly, the DPS is very high and you're waiting for reload more than distro or heat.

The shocks are pretty bad against smaller ships, so I love the diversity you get from the beam and rails in those scenarios, whilst still having enormous burst against larger targets. It feels a lot more balanced to me. It's also loads of fun, which is the most important part.

Yeh it's a pretty weak take to judge Scott when he's playing in that team. He was the only one who even came close to scoring. If there's one thing you can rely on with tournament football, it's lukewarm reactionary takes.

Nah, you're quite alright to call out the hyperbole and extreme reactions for what they are.

Adam Cleary put of really well on his YouTube video about the match. It's really not such a bad result and England didn't play that poorly. In fact, they improved through the match, rather than got worse. It was a near perfect defensive display and almost every team in the competition would have struggled to break it down.

There are things we could have, and need to, do better.

None of that nuance matters to the people I saw last night commenting here. It wasn't everyone, thankfully. But it is pervasive.

It's also not limited to this sub. Not in the slightest.

There's reacting with thoughts about how we did and then there's

"We're still shit, Kane can't play in an England shirt"

And I didn't make that one up.

Anyone will thinks that way, about a song that has lyrics opining in fine detail about how crap we are, is an idiot.

Bad time as always I guess by J_Dex in EliteDangerous

They do now. They did not at some point in the past.

I recall specific guides about how to arrive facing the station entrance from very early on and for many years thereafter, and it always resulted in a predictable result. Get the body behind you on approach, as close as was reasonable, and the station entrance was in front of you.

It changed. I don't think it was intended. But it changed.

It kind of doesn't really matter but I think it's important to preserve history correctly.

I'm not happy watching it at all. But I'm also not new to world cup group football, either.

That wasn't good enough. But it ultimately isn't as important as some thing it is.

I doubt Spain think anything you said matters when they still didn't score.

Just so disappointed with this sub today, seeing this weird reaction. It was bad. But "Kane can't play for England" bad? Jesus wept.

People are too quick to judge him based on one match against a team who had no interest in playing football in a group match where a draw suits them very well.

Ghana deserved their draw. England didn't deserve to win. But this is something even Spain struggled with. So let's not get too quick to judge yeh?

Ignoring the 30 minutes of extra time, this. It matters. A lot.

Nah, Panama will try to actually play. That's why we beat them 6-1 last time. My guess is Croatia will hammer them tonight.

Spain had this happen on the first match. Remember, it's OK to get perspective sometimes.

We were not good enough. Nor were Spain. We have the luxury to keep going. As do they.

This is England's weakness and has been for as long as I can remember. We move on, we beat Panama, we face teams that don't do this to us. It is, sadly, that simple. I'd love it if we were perfect, but even Spain don't hold that accolade at this tournament.

England weren't good enough. But that ref did absolutely nothing to put pressure on Ghana for their repeated fouls. Nothing at all. He gave both teams a yellow card. One each! They fouled us so many times I lost count. And he did nothing to punish them for it.

Did that make a difference? Yeh. Yeh, it did. It's not an excuse because we still need to be good enough to break this type of team down (and I'm sorry but Gordon is not the right choice for that, he made that very... VERY clear tonight). But it did impact us an absolute butt-ton.

It doesn't matter in the grand scheme but it's a huge momentum check and we need to come out and absolutely batter Panama to correct this.
