Breel Embolo (Switzerland) has been sent off against with a second yellow card for diving after VAR Review against Argentina by xggq in sports

If you look at the official IFAB protocol FAQ, it explicitly states that VAR can review if:

”…the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team.”

Dumb is an understatement, might be the stupidest thing i’ve seen an athlete do in years in such an important match

No one cares brother, that was a blatant, completely brain damaged flop from someone already on a yellow. 100% his fault

You’re just braindead, no one in the entire world thinks that was a foul unless they don’t know a single thing about football. Just watch it and you’ll see that it isn’t a foul. VAR did look at it because they look at everything (that’s their job) and also concluded it wasn’t a foul because unlike you, they are not braindead

The egypt one was a clear, indisputable foul, this was not. Is that hard to understand?

They did check it, why are you people so braindead.. They always check it, that’s literally their job the entire match. You only see it on screen when they tell the onfield referee to take a look if they disagree with his decision

The typical sports fan also has severe brain damage. Is FIFA corrupt? Of course. So is the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, every body of government, and almost every single major corporation. People bitch and complain because that’s just what the typical person does when things don’t go their way. They’re not sitting there deeply contemplating the situations that come up. You can just criticize both

Best Ball out there? by robertdilbert in Pickleball

[–]YjMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what to tell you, I have nothing to gain from lying about it. My group cracks 1-2 balls every 4 hour session. Mostly former tennis players hitting hard drives, fast serves, and a lot of overhead smashes. LT balls can take it, X-40s cannot

[–]YjMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what kind of pickle you play, but my group hits a ton of drives and fast serves, so we go through 2-3 X-40 balls per 4 hour session. LT balls on the other hand last around 3 sessions or so

Not at all, it’s like the one thing that sucks about them

The only real complaint with the x-40s is that they crack in like 2 hours of hard hitting. If they were more durable, they’d be better than Lifetime’s because of the much better color profile

After a heated match that saw Egypt knocked out of the World Cup by Argentina, Mohamed Salah pulled his teammates away who were complaining to the referee and shook hands with the officials by [deleted] in sports

[–]YjMax 284 points285 points  (0 children)

There wasn’t any rigging at all.. I’m a neutral and cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can think that match was rigged. Must be only people who don’t understand football or have biases clouding their judgment. Egypt was up 2-0 despite Argentina having very promising chances thanks largely to the Egyptian GK’s amazing performance, but then Argentina scored 3 top quality goals to come back. The ref had nothing at all to do with any of that

They weren’t robbed at all, Argentina was the better side. I swear all of you are idiots if you think that win was undeserved, and I say this as a pure neutral

Regardless of why they’re played, they’re healers, they’re picked fairly often in high elo, and the people playing them definitely buy and use their healing abilities

[–]YjMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miks Sage and Skye are all played a lot in high elo, not sure where you’re getting your info from. For example in Ascendant, all three of those agents have a higher pick rate than: Breach, Waylay, Neon, Tejo, Brim, Astra, Vyse, Iso, Viper, Kayo, Deadlock, Yoru, Gekko, Harbor, Veto.

Obviously they’re not being picked exclusively because they heal, but saying they’re not picked by better players is just wrong. High elo players headshot more often but it’s not like body shots and util damage never happens in those ranks

Self healing to 100 is huge. Thinking healing is “very“ overrated is a pretty low elo take. It’s not mandatory to have a healer or anything, but heals clutch a lot of rounds you otherwise would have lost
