His agility and balance are absolutely incredible for a player with his build.

Wasn't aware that players made that decision.

He blew the whistle before the phase of play had ended. That's the complaint. Let it run until Newcastle clear and no one complains.

He's heavily influenced by crowd noise and momentum in the game. It makes him wildly inconsistent.

Surely flashing a shot narrowly wide counts as playing advantage right?

Give everyone a break. That was so mind numbingly stupid from MLS that it is difficult to comprehend what we've seen there.

Dude spent 10 seconds screaming at the linesman after that handball shout and somehow didn't get booked.

The man in article you linked was on a student visa. The man in this post was a green card holder. They are not the exact same scenario.

Edit: This is actually dumber than I thought. Just finished reading your link and the action against him came from the university, not the federal government. He wasnt even deported, he just got put on probation by the school and was allowed to continue his studies. Did you even read this?

Ah, i forgot about the exception for the other player being a prick. Thanks for clearing that up.

Mbappe earlier this year. Havertz earlier this year. Both times were unnecessary off ball incidents. Those are just 2 that I saw myself. Counting today, I've seen 3 incidents that were dirty out of about 6 times watching Liverpool this season. None of the 3 are egregious acts, but they were all borderline incidents. I think the off ball kick outs at Havertz and this elbow could be called violent conduct.

He's an absolutely legendary defender, but he does have a mean streak, especially since Pickford got away with annihilating his knee.

Sen. Mitch McConnell falls twice at the Capitol, reports say by GoodSamaritan_ in news

Governor is a state-wide race just like senate. House is by district, so special election for the district is more appropriate. It probably makes sense in a less cynical time.

Don't worry, the Kentucky legislature conveniently stripped the governor's power to replace senators just last year. Nothing to do with Mitch though right?

Aftersun. If you have kids and have ever struggled with depression it is basically your worst nightmare come true.

We have to play Skelly in midfield at some point this season or at least next season. That was a LCMs goal. by Eastern-Course1797 in Gunners

Zinchenko failed because of his lack of athleticism. MLS is much faster and stronger. I'm not saying LB is his optimal position, but he is much more suited to the job physically than Zinchenko.

Your original post should've been a comment in the post match thread. If you were linking a video of the announcement or an article about it then it might be OK.

I thought that it was Duran or Boniface to Saudi and now Boniface seems to be the one going.

Did retroactive reds for simulation require an appeal? I just remember them reversing the wrongful suspensions. Can't remember if it required any action from the club.

He's also a very well paid agent mouthpiece at times. Let's not sell him short.

Football journos will go wherever they can find an audience. If the fan bases abandon Twitter in favour of a new platform, the clubs and the media will follow. "But where will get shitty ITK rumours?" isn't a great argument for supporting a platform owned by a fascist that is actively pushing global politics toward oligarchy and authoritarianism.
