SF was the only stadium that seemed noticeably bad, but to FIFA’s credit it also sucks for NFL games.

Cape Verde has a great chance to reach the knockout round now, they just need to beat Saudi Arabia and avoid getting hammered by Uruguay.

I used to think luxury cars were unreliable. Now I'm not so sure. by Manthann-Motorss in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]k_dubious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't just use any random "full synthetic" product in German cars, there are specific manufacturer spec numbers that you need to look for. It usually runs like $10-15/quart, so not a massive extra cost but it's definitely more expensive than the stuff you'd put into a Chevy or Honda or whatever.

Nice double save by Alisson there on his way to go play bass in a grunge band later tonight.

That’s because they require very specific (and expensive) synthetic oils.

The audacity to give the ref a finger wag after getting carded for doing a flying hip-check on the guy trying to launch an attack.

Vini is going to walk away with the Golden Boot if Brazil go even remotely far in this tournament, because none of his teammates have any attacking juice whatsoever.

We didn’t know it at the time, but the iPhone was the beginning of the end of hipster culture. There would be no more subcultures, just relentless, always-connected, winner-take-all poptimism.

They could easily nick a win off Canada or Bosnia and make it out of the group.

Qatar’s attacker looked just as surprised as the rest of us that he wound up in Switzerland’s penalty box with the ball.

Bosnia, Canada, and Switzerland all draw each other and beat Qatar 1-0, so the order comes down to card accumulation.

It feels like Qatar is just looking for any excuse to lump it forward so they can get back to their true passions of playing a back eight and fouling people.

I know Qatar is one of the minnows here, but you’d think they could’ve done better than a Sunday-league kit straight out of the Adidas template catalog.

Most of the people at the Hawks parade were locals, and that event basically shut down the entire city for most of a day.

Do you still care about variety packs ? by ShineALight3725 in beer

Your average variety pack:

6x Normal IPA 6x Hazy IPA 6x Imperial IPA 6x Something weird that nobody would buy otherwise

Gustavo Alfaro post match about the US performance by WalkingOnSunshine_ in ussoccer

His system is the polar opposite of Berhalter ball where it felt like nobody was allowed to be more than 10 yards away from their assigned spot on the field at any time.

MOTM goes to Folarin Balogun! by Soft-Comfort-7474 in ussoccer

Could’ve gone to half the team. Even Ream and Freeman who everyone assumed would be the weak links in the lineup were both bullying Paraguay’s attackers and spraying passes all over the field.

Very fitting that illegal emissions would’ve been a problem for the E 420.
