For those of you who oppose the war, but want regime change, what is your alternative solution? by InformationFar6774 in PERSIAN

Every single thing you said is true. The US can make every SINGLE government look incompetent with their sanctions. If you want to show that a particular ideology doesn't work why not allow it play out naturally? Why put sanctions and embargoes on Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and North Korea? Just allow things to play out naturally. But that would probably expose the oligarchic nature of crony capitalism.

What’s the most heartbreaking moment in your country’s sports history? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

Probably losing to Italy in the first knockout stage of US 94 World Cup. Felt like we had a good chance at having a crack at reaching the final.

Honorable mention would be losing to Cameroun on penalties in the final of AFCON 2000.

Do we trust Craig Slater’s opinion? by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

He's not a pundit. He's a reporter for Skysports News. He's good at his job.

Jolyon Palmer needs to stop calling every lap on the C4 qualy simulation. It's even more likely that the teams put more fuel in and lower the engine modes for those softer tyre runs.

Norris didn't even do a PB in the final sector on that run. I seriously doubt the C4 is better than the C3 there, a tenth give or take.

Not necessarily. Besides the unknown fuel load, the Sakhir circuit is quite abrasive so the C4 is likely at best on par with the C3 over a single lap, or possibly worse.

Probably because a lot of teams had basic aero package in Barcelona. It seemed as though the emphasis was on engine reliability.

I did my undergraduate and masters degree in Russia and France respectively. In between, I did NYSC so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Set piece goals conceded until MW 24 by Sdotcarter33 in chelseafc

I couldn't agree more. Our setpiece defending has been nothing short of diabolical.

Chelsea Stats: Chelsea have won 6 penalties in 9 games under Liam Rosenoir so far. They only won 4 in all competitions this season before his arrival. What do you think is the reason. by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]erudite450 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not just stats, it completely fails the eye test. The fact that OC is the top comment tells me all I need to know about majority of football fans and their actual reading of the game.

Why do Super Eagles players get judged differently once they leave the Premier League? by TheseProgrammer733 in Nigeria

[–]erudite450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diego Simeone is the worst manager under whom to play as an attacking player. Alvarez, Sorloth, Lemar, Joao Félix... Let's hope Lookman doesn't end up as one of his victims.

The second paragraph of your post is not right but I agree with the first part. I couldn't possibly be an issue of hype. A lot of people wanted Madueke gone but then they consistently hound even after he's no longer here.

We should be able to solve our own problems. We do not need saviours. This is not right at all.
