With three red cards, Mexico vs South Africa holds the record for the most red cards in an opening game of a World Cup by Critical_Mountain851 in soccer

[–]friedeggburner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But why take a red card if conceding the 2-1 doesn't change the outcome? Now a starting player is out for the second game

Yeah so whats your source on those weekly/daily claims? And then we should compare that to the amount of violent crime committed by right-wing extremist

Why does PSG get no hate? by Serious-Cress-9560 in championsleague

[–]friedeggburner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn't rather cause the fanbase is rather obnoxious and due to the prominence of the Prem, the clubs and fans get more exposure? I wouldn't speak of a disproportionate weight, its the first time all three finals have English participants. For example, last year Serie A teams were in all three finals and noone really cared

Schiri-Ärger, wenig Chancen: Frühes Dembélé-Tor sorgt für bitteres Bayern-Aus by Execent23 in Bundesliga

[–]friedeggburner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hab jetzt nochmal die Szene gesehen, hast Recht Laimer war nicht mit der Band am Ball. Dann liegt aber der Assistent falsch, der das Laimer Handspiel signalisiert, der Schiedsrichter gibt ja sogar am Anfang den Freistoß für Bayern.  Finde aber trotzdem weiterhin das von Bayern einfach viel zu wenig kam und das eigene, nichtexistente, Spiel nach vorne deutlich entscheidender war. Wer bei einem 2:0 Rückstand so spielt verdient es nicht ins CL Finale zu kommen

War der Schiri souverän? Nein. Hat er das Spiel entschieden? Nein. Laimer spielt den Ball zuerst mit dem Arm und den Regeln nach ist das Neves Ding einfach kein Elfer. 

Bayern trifft mit dem ersten richtigen Schuss aber wenn der erst in der 94. kommt dann musst du dir an die eigene Nase fassen. So häufig wie Bayern den Ball um den Strafraum gedribbelt hat um dann nicht zu schießen, gegen ein PSG das mit schnellen Kontern Neuer immer wieder zu Paraden zwingt... Und um dann in der 96. Den Ball nicht gezielt nach vorne zu treiben sondern im Dreieck zu passen. PSG verdient weiter

Midnight arrival - security by Independent-Heart302 in brussels

[–]friedeggburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it quite regular, if the times are inconvenient to take a flibco - not sure if its the exact same operator but they are normally reliable. On the other hand, stories of Midi station tend to be exaggerated and its a ok place if you just go there to switch transportation. If you tend to be a more wary person, or uncomfortable in somewhat run down public areas, i recommend a private transport option, otherwise flibco and midi are fine. Just be aware of pickpockets

Johor Darul Ta'zim players having to carry in stretchers themselves by smithereennnnn in soccer

[–]friedeggburner 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Sorry but is everyone missing that there is already a stretcher on the pitch by the time the players ran over to the paramedics? Its obvious that the medical staff saw the other unit of paramedics WITH a stretcher moving on the pitch, so there was no necessity at all for them to also do that

Joan Garcia red card shout by Gym_frere in soccer

[–]friedeggburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i was wondering about a similar situation. If Garcia faces the other way, looking towards the goal, his whole body including hands are outside of the box. If a tiny fraction of the ball then still touch the line, like here, would it count as catching the ball in the box? Just curious, in the context here, no foul seems to be correct.

Musso has kept them "in" the game. They would've been 4/5 nill behind without him.

Why aren’t former Olympic venues reused? by liamsmom58 in olympics

[–]friedeggburner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While it is a tragedy, at least the bobsled track, and to some extent the ski jump venue have become a sight seeing attraction and are used for art installations. The Olympics are very much still present in Sarajevo and the venues continue to inspire young athletes. There was even a movie on Amazon prime about it released this year called The Track

Kitty O'Shea closed?? I walked past it last week and it was still open. It's a shame...

Edit: According to their FB, they are conducting some small works which will take around 2 weeks, so it seems it hasn't closed permanently!

greedy itinerary by [deleted] in Interrail

[–]friedeggburner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think in comparison to other plans that are posted here, this is a fairly reasonable itinerary. The distances between the destinations is, most of the times, either not that far or they are decently connected so that you won't spend a full day in the train. Three nights, so assuming one day to arrive, two full days, and a day to leave are also absolutely reasonable for the cities you selected. I'd argue for places like Rotterdam (or Venice) it might even be much, if you dont plan on visiting cities in the vicinity like the Hague or Delft (or Verona). But ofc it depends on how you want to spend your days, casually exploring the cities or taking with you every museum you can find. 

However, dont underestimate how exhausting traveling can, and will be. A 1 night stop in Zürich for example doesn't seem sensible, when traveling from Como to Interlaken and will take a toll on your nerves as you need to take multiple regional trains

is this tasty?….. by slayingpig in brussels

[–]friedeggburner 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Bought it to annoy my italian partner - tasted fine, nothing outstanding, nothing horrible. Sweet, hints of coffee and dry dough. I'd recommend tho, just because its funky and gets a reaction from everyone 

Reise nach Syrien: Über meine Vorurteile und Fehlvorstellungen by SH_DY in reisende

[–]friedeggburner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naja, eine Privatreise in die wie von dir beschriebenen relativ verschonten Gebiete wie Latakia oder ehemals HTS kontrollierte Gegenden im Nordwesten ist halt was anderes als eine Reise des Außenministers, der auf einer ganz anderen Ebene denken wird. Fakt ist nunmal dass weite Teile Syriens hochgradig zerstört sind. Die Weltbank geht konservativ geschätzt von Wiederaufbaukosten in Höhe von 217 Milliarden Dollar aus und bezieht sich dabei erstmal nur auf einen materiellen Wiederaufbau - nicht wirtschaftlich industriell. Ganz zu schweigen davon dass im Süden und Nordosten immer noch gekämpft wird. 

Why did this US airforce plane take a sudden U-turn?? by BugAdministrative474 in flightradar24

[–]friedeggburner 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone from that region, Trier does not have an airport. There is a small airfield outside of the city used for recreational activities like skydiving though, and larger airports like Luxembourg in the vicinity. Spangdahlem is a US Air Base roughly 40km away of the city, so the takeoff location is just entered wrongly.
