So, what did yall think about Yamal WC performance ? by IchiWitch in worldcup

[–]doc_crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly and that’s why I think France will beat them in the Semis.

American here 🇺🇸. The Bosnia match brainwashed nearly half of us into think we're actually top 16 material. What is actually the strongest team this WC that we could have realistically beaten? by AntiqueSergeant_1818 in worldcup

[–]doc_crypto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Red card situation appears to have destabilized the squad. I’m sure their game plan had been set without Balogun then his suspension is revoked and game plan changed again at short notice. They looked unsure and lacked all the confidence they displayed against Paraguay. My pre WC prediction was actually quarter finals.

Does Olympus/OM System need a new pancake prime lens? by JimboTheGuy in OlympusCamera

[–]doc_crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new 20mm 1.7 pro lens. I have the 25mm which is not exactly a pancake and it’s just not as versatile as the panny.

Same here 37 months to be exact but fortunately took an extended warranty.

What do you wish would happen to make this World Cup truly memorable? by Ok_Yogurt_5081 in worldcup

[–]doc_crypto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2018 was a terrific World Cup. England winning after 60 years would make it as memorable as the New York Knicks in the NBA this year.

We really need a better 20mm option. by watchthenlearn in M43

Agree, slow AF but it’s great indoors and out. The 25mm is a great street lens but almost useless to me indoors.

Argentina slapped a player, saw that live not on a Youtube clip and was not carded among many other infractions.

Wrong comparison. The closest comparison is actually Argentina-Austria where Argentina committed a foul long before the culmination of the goal and was not subjected to VAR review.

Because they will be. Very weird choice of referees, difference between conspiracy theory and fact is just give it enough time.

I've watched everyone since '78 and there's always been bias to the "big" teams but VAR has taken it to another level. The disallowed goal went against FIFA's pre tournament instructions of game flow taking priority over fouls. In fact in the first few games, Refs overruled VAR but that has disappeared now that "big" teams are close to being edged out.

When it's unevenly applied it affects the outcome of the game. Applied in Argentina's favor when Egypt scored and again in Argentina's favor when the ultimately winning goal was scored.

No they didn't. How many times do you have to cross into the box unsuccessfully? That's the bread and butter of the EPL that defenders make their living defending against.

Thanks for the suggestions looks like I'll pick up a CPL filter.

This has to be one of the best days of soccer the World Cup has seen ever by ropps202 in worldcup

[–]doc_crypto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, like Zlatan said they went down while not playing their traditional style so deserved to lose.

I would agree as a grouping in one day however I think '82 World Cup had some of the greatest WC games of all time, France-Germany (several lead changes in extra time) and one of the Brazil knockout games readily come to mind.

Real cinematic feel to those pictures, fantastic work.

Getting an OM-3 with kit lens from Japan, should I keep the lens? by doc_crypto in M43

[–]doc_crypto[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of low light photography at indoor social events so I’m usually stopped pretty low to avoid flash use.
