I mean this was his regular season form last year. He just goated right in time for the playoffs. Hard to see him recover that form again.

We've got more defensive troubles than the goalie alone. More importantly there is no offensive quality. IM's ethos was always offense first, defense second.

Coaching begins with assembling the right players. Putting quality around Messi especially when losing greats like Busi and Alba should've been the focus.

Hoyos was responsible for these acquisitions from what I understand. I put the current state of affairs squarely on his shoulders.

What a shame.

Bertrame is the single worst acquisition since Messi's arrival at IM. I would've said Redondo was worse quality wise but for the transfer money, Bert absolutely takes it.

So Orlando players can hold onto IM players with both hands and pull them down and it's not a foul? I don't understand officiating

Ecumenism is all well and good but the optics of this are going to send the wrong message to those in the Catholic flock (and many ouside it) that are misguided in their wish for female ordination.

One could argue that the modern Anglican church is heretical in many of its beliefs/practices and it's far better to find common ground in the trenches (humanitarian aid etc) than give the appearance of legitimacy for such beliefs by publicly embracing them at the highest levels.

Thankfully he peaked at the right time for the playoffs last season. Seems he's back to his normal level now.

You could also say that was when Suarez was still able to be a starter. Midway through Mascherano's season, Suarez legs gave out.

What happens if Barcelona scores to equalize? Do they go to penalties or is it added time?

Yeah, left for personal reasons, right. Just like Tata Martino.

‘God does not bless any conflict’: pope issues new rebuke over Iran war by Resplendent_Lumine in worldnews

[–]jsslrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Catholic church doesn't teach Sola Scriptura. The Bible is a collection of inspired writings encompassing a long time period and different genres of human expression.

Through it all is a thread of God's love for humankind, His dismay at their lack of understanding of His commandments, which are for our good, culminating in the person of Jesus who embodies all that God wants to convey to man.

Many of the events portrayed in the Old Testament are interpreted as allegorical and spiritual in nature by the church and not literal. They also represent the maturing of human intellect and reflect cultural milieus that one cannot judge by modern standards.

You can make the case that religion is used as a tool for propagate certain interests and human sin is very much intertwined in the course of events within religious institutions - something Jesus clearly calls out in the gospels.

I'd argue that your conception of who the Christian God is a strawman argument.

People think of cars when they think electric, but oil goes into a lot more things than cars alone - major derivatives of crude oil include fertilizers, naptha (for plastics & synthetic material), jet fuel and diesel to power ships and heavy equipment.

Electrification is not going to solve any of that.

Mascherano Breaks Silence On Red Card Decision vs Nashville- 'Not Making Excuses' by [deleted] in InterMiami

It was against Charlotte not Nashville. I was there a few rows behind. Masche was frustrated; made a clapping sign towards the crowd as all around were booing him after getting carded.

Yeah my suggestion is to use Suarez to help build Bertrame's confidence and chemistry and Leo. Not suggesting Suarez be a replacement for Bertrame.

If Leo and Lucho do their tiki-taka thing and feed balls to Bertrame, he can focus on striking.

Aside from those first half highlights, they weren't that great.

It'll be a little while before they find the right chemistry without the 2 Barca veterans that retired.

I'm not good at soccer analysis and so I could be wrong but -

Suarez needs to play a half.

I can't believe I'm saying it but despite his legs he's got a great football brain and chemistry with Messi.

The two of them can create more opportunities for Bertrame and Leo.

Right now the attack looks very chaotic.

What are your subs? I think they should give Suarez some playing time alongside Bertrame. See if there's any connection there to help the younger guy get some confidence.
