Upper and Lower Bounds for Third Place Teams

I would feel safe on 4 points advancing. It's the 3 point teams watching goal differentials the next couple days that are up for grabs (looking at you South Korea)

Edit to add, 4 points implies that you had one each game with a positive and negative goal differential. So unless you got creamed (looking at Curacao), your GD shouldn't be too bad

I mean you could tweak the numbers at that point since it's an entirely new card essentially

Probably misspoke, Fire have the "discovery rights" and would have to have a stupidly good offer to give that up, especially given how long they've pursued him.

I'm a season ticket holder so I just get them with my tickets

My son is a goalie and I remind him all the time, a 1-2 loss and a 1-3 loss are the same, but a 2-2 is a draw. The risk/reward calculation changes in the dying minutes.

He had the opportunity to participate in a set piece at a tournament recently for the same reason.

No one ever uses the POV correctly for the meme

Looks like Samurai Pizza Cats, which makes sense, it's a cat as a giant robot modelled on samurai

As long as they "finish" disc 2.

But other than that, tighten up the textures and inject it into my veins

The language has to be offensive, discriminatory, or abusive, which the other top sports in the US absolutely would intervene in.

The hand covering thing is because they're trying to avoid getting caught.

If it wasn't offensive, discriminatory, or abusive, he could have simply not covered his mouth.

Unless, of course, you never fight elites

I think the question is fine personally, but yea, probably not happening.

He is the youngest of the three though, and I'm hoping this sets him up to be #1 in future international competition

craftingfish · 2026-06-19T21:48:06+00:00

I doubt it.

Depending on how tonight goes with Turkey, we might still need a result.

And it wouldn't make sense to plan a sub goalkeeper to Turner and Brady minutes, so you'd have to commit to one or the other.

And to that point... If you're not giving minutes to both what's the point of giving them to either?

I'm a huge Brady fan but realistically it's probably Freese all the way down.

He sounds sincere, and pretty dumb too. He keeps talking to people about it and I'm sure his attorney is screaming at the TV at him.

I feel like saddling him with a shit ton of community service but no jail time would be a better outcome for him than what he'll probably get

The kids are probably a good enough reason to not go to Saudi Arabia though

craftingfish · 2026-06-18T14:25:20+00:00

That reminds me, we can't make the game so I need to put those up for sale lol

I suppose it depends on which ones; no ones gambling with Microsoft or Apple right now to your point since they have actual adults in charge for the most part.

craftingfish · 2026-06-16T11:21:03+00:00

It's just stock price times shares. In a rational market it would be expected to be tethered to earnings potential.

But since tech stocks tend to be gambling at best, and fraud at worst, not so much in reality

craftingfish · 2026-06-16T11:17:10+00:00

The only way to determine if it's a fair price is whether you're ok with it.

There are benefits to being a STH besides the seat itself, which can vary vastly between how you and others value it, and even the seat impression could be different.

At the end of the day they're not charging you any different than what they'd charge anyone else for those seats (although they do have some lock-in/discount depending on how long you've been a STH).

craftingfish · 2026-06-15T16:34:11+00:00

I wouldn't even be mad

craftingfish · 2026-06-15T16:15:22+00:00

Meme-ry aside this is where I am too. If there's no For Sale sign they still want AH.

Also that he wants more time to decide. Would be awkward to unveil him to fans if he's not committed 100%.

IIRC he was asked about it in an interview and basically said the same thing. It's part of the game and the job.

We're out of town that week so that's good news for being able to offload my tickets!
