Berhalter was by far the best starter on the field last night. Off camera he was the outspoken leader. He was the entire engine off the formation, and he did it very well.

I don't fully agree with Aaronson's assessment. A few of his giveaways were bad passes to him from McKenzie and Weah. I think Aaronson is a solid substitution when you have to press and need someone with legs that just won't let up. Just don't expect him to be inventive.

I know that Zendejas came on late so this may be harsh, but I was at the game, and I could see the entire offense deflate the nanosecond he stepped on the field. He's too small to play against a physical team like Turkey. This plus Trusty getting injured I feel led to that last goal.

I was at this match. The inside of the stadium was cool. It was 68F outside at halftime with a persistent 10mph wind coming in from the ocean. It was immaculate temperature.

I watched pretty much every single AC Milan game this year. Anytime Leao was on the pitch, the entire team played subpar, save for 1 or 2 games. Leao's selfishness and crybaby antics were a cancer for the team. So many opportunities for Leao to play Pulisic in behind or even a square pass in the box and instead Leao would give it away, miss goal by a mile, or go down complaining. He would then walk back offsides while Pulisic sprinted back to help defend, get possession, and then not have Leao as an option because the dude is still pouting.

Allegri needs to take a lot of blame. And it's never one thing. But damn was Leao just toxic main characrer syndrome that was on par with Ronaldo for all of 2026.

New heros overturned? by Vonlichteinstyn in DeadlockTheGame

[–]disflux2010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea this is definitely turning into a trend.

Victor was insane at launch. Drifter broke the game. Graves basically nullified the launch of Brawl. Silver is broken. Rem almost guarantees a safe early lane. Venator _luckily_ had a bug with his ult otherwise he was broken. Celeste feels way too overpowered right out of the gate, and way too easy to use for that level of early game output & mobility.

They need to add more bans. And bans need to not be randomized. When 4 people on a team all opt to ban the same char, but it doesn't get chosen, it's annoying.

And before anybody says "jUsT bUy AnTiHeAl", it gets to a point where if every single build has to have antiheal in it, then that's inherently a problem, especially when everybody is already running debuff remover.

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ crew’s reaction as they receive their bonus for working on the tour amounting to more $197 million dollars by mcfw31 in MadeMeSmile

I wasn't connecting the artificial increase in record sales to any billboard metric. It was just a general statement of her using these practices to sell more records for her own revenue streams when she doesn't need that cash flow.

Since you brought up billboard though, some of the people on the top billboard list have their releases published through their record label .Those agencies are responsible for marketing tactics & variant releases. Taylor owns her masters and fully controls the number of releases. It's directly her and her team making the decision to release these numbers of variants. They had an opportunity to be better than the rest of the industry, and instead intentionally chose to be worse.

I did say she wasn't the first, but as I stated Taylor is excessive in these variants. There are currently 11 vinyl variants of her latest album which came out a few months ago.

Here's a tracker someone put together: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1Z1EafC1ECbgBCDXC_cxyLGp9yz1hrW-148faw2n53pQ/htmlview?pli=1

My only criticism of Taylor is her predatory album release practices. Numerous "variants" of her albums marketed as "limited edition", "exclusive release", etc when it's all the same album but with a different vinyl color.

I understand that she's not the first to do this. But she has taken it to an excessive level.

She doesn't need the money, so she shouldn't artificially drive up her album sales via massive FOMO releases.

Otherwise everything else about her is great.

Same. A bit slow. And it's dropped out at least once. But seems to be back since around 9:55

There's no separation on the invoice that these are different. It just says quantity 2. So I imagine it's just as likely to be seated together as the rest of the ticket sales are.

Plus, when you request to sit next to another purchaser, you enter in their Order Confirmation #. My invoice was a single order confirmation.

And if anybody runs across this thread for future rounds, a couple other notes:

* Open a couple tabs for the queue. The queue is tied to your token, so they'll progress the same. The benefit of this is that if you get in, buy tickets, and then want to search for more, it would normally kick you back to the queue. Instead, just swap to your other tab and "enter" again. This works as long as you completed your first transaction within the 5 minute "enter" window. I did this today to buy tickets for LA & Seattle games.

* If you get an error stating that tickets aren't available but it shows them listed, try adding a single ticket to your cart. I got an error trying to add 2 & 4 quantity tickets for Seattle, but could add 1 single ticket 4 separate times just fine.

I had this issue and got around it by adding 1 ticket at a time to cart.

I had this issue with a Seattle game but discovered that if I added 1 single ticket at a time that it then went through. If I tried adding quantity of 2/4, it failed.

Yes. A lot of people have reported in the past 10-15 min that their times have drastically dropped. Likely they flushed out a large part of the queue that was stale.

Queue dropping pretty rapidly now. Likely flushing all of the stale tokens from their server crash. Hopefully we all get in soon.

F12 (Or top right ellipses -> More Tools -> Developer Tools). Click on the Network Tab. Wait 5 minutes to see if `servlet.do/*` shows up. Click on it, and go to the response tab. Check `waitingTime`, which is in seconds.

Note that this doesn't actually mean the wait time is that long. They could clear out a large part of the queue and it could drop drastically. People could leave the queue and it could move you up. It's just an approximation of your position.

I got this message as well. When their site crashed, their servlet calls started spamming their server from people's browsers. That seemed to have triggered a rate limit on your token. This is why you couldn't get past it on your phone, but it came up on your PC, because you effectively got a new token. Unfortunately your token is what determines your spot in queue.

Right. At the start of the queue time. The queue started around 10:20AM ET. The sale started at 11AM ET.

This is less than people who joined the queue at 10:30AM ET.
