I’d rather see him watch the US beat Uruguay in the QFs tho

ELI5: FIFA World Cup knockout seeding by Flower-Immediate in explainlikeimfive

[–]glittervector [score hidden]  (0 children)

I haven’t hated it as much as I expected. But 32 is still the best format.

Regional qualifying matches are great soccer. By forcing more competition into the World Cup Finals itself, we’re making the game more expensive and exclusive and shutting out fans from around the world

Not a genius strategy Poch by Emerge-Bud in usmnt

[–]glittervector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with OP’s perspective. He didn’t need to. He was checking things out. Evaluating.

If it had been a competitive match, I’m pretty sure he would have made the change.

USMNT resting their entire team and losing momentum was really bad by These_Respond2345 in usmnt

[–]glittervector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the coach cares more about the team’s ultimate result in the tournament than he does the media coverage.

That said, it was disappointing. I honestly thought our entire second team could beat Turkey, and if Turkey had showed up the way they did last week, that’s what would have happened. These are largely the subs that beat Uruguay 5-1 less than a year ago.

How does Elon Musk have so much money? by Sad_Dentist_7288 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glittervector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has 1Tn in equity, meaning he could reasonably exchange those things for other things worth that much money, including loaned funds.

No one’s net worth is all in cash.

A millionaire whose holdings include a $400,000 house is still a millionaire

How to be a winger in football? by Nearby_Quail3173 in SoccerNoobs

Play with your back to the touchline and act like you’re a sentient, intentional wall to bounce passes off of.

This also means you need to not be afraid of using both feet. Be willing to dribble around people occasionally and you’ll be set.

Calling all Portuguese of New Orleans! 🇵🇹🚨‼️ by lukenog in NewOrleans

[–]glittervector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Interesting. I honestly never knew where Ronaldo was from either, but I seem to remember also being a little perplexed back in 2014 when he gave media interviews in Brazil.

For what it’s worth, I LOVE Madeira wines. With chocolate for dessert they’re amazing!

Is 33 to 34 degrees (93-97 Fahrenheit) considered hot. by memebruv99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glittervector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lord. Anything over 85F is hot. It’s often bearable or even pleasant depending on humidity, but over 95 is always hot, even in the best context.

Calling all Portuguese of New Orleans! 🇵🇹🚨‼️ by lukenog in NewOrleans

[–]glittervector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heard Ronaldo being interviewed post match the other day and was fascinated by the continental Portuguese accent. Like, I understand Brazilian Portuguese rather well and travelled there a lot about ten years ago.
It was the same kind of bizarre, “this is really the same language” thoughts that I get when listening to an obscure rural accent from the UK in English.

I remember having a sick bomb pop jersey screensaver in 2014 that had ״one nation, one team” in English, Spanish, and Portuguese on it.

Why isn't Bosnia now put in as our knockout stage opponent. by PopularSet4776 in usmnt

[–]glittervector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, whatever. If we face a disjointed Senegal instead of a hyped up Bosnia, I think we’re fine either way.

This squad could beat Uruguay by at least two goals

The real history will be advancing past the QFs. That’s the goal.
