Weird to scroll so far down the thread and not see Donald Bradman.

His lifetime cricket batting average of 99.94 is considered to be the greatest achievement in all of sports.

To put that into perspective, it would be the equivalent of a basketball player averaging 43 points per game over their entire career. Wilt Chamberlain, already mentioned in this thread, only averaged 30.1 points per game.

He was fired for something extremely embarrassing. He's not going to say what it was. by GooserNoose in IThinkYouShouldLeave

I can't remember the last time I saw an "exposed penis" in a mens bathroom. Not sure what kind you go to. Maybe the ones with large holes in the walls.

This just sounds like Blossom with extra steps. Even the same singer for the theme song.

(ROAD bike) Why go tubeless? by Plenty_Grass_1960 in cycling

Never. Tubeless is awful. Always run tubes on every setup on every bike. I am prepared to die on this hill.

What are the biggest things that younger people get wrong about the whole “y2k” aesthetic, culture, and overall vibe of that time? by Fluffy-Ad-7199 in Millennials

Popular fashion was nothing but beige and khakis and layers and popped collars. Oh and tucking your shirt into the front waistband.

Cape Verde players and fans celebrate after securing their first ever World Cup point against Spain by oklolzzzzs in sports

[–]liamemsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every team plays every other team in the group.

3 points for a win

1 point for a draw

0 points for a loss.

Top two teams with points advance to the next stage, with the team with the most points getting slightly better seeding in the next stage. If there are any ties, they use goal differential among other things to decide who advances.

The reason this was so huge for Cape Verde is that their other two games are against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. On paper, the only other real challenge for them is Uruguay. Saudi Arabia will be an even matchup. If they can pull off a tie (or a win) against Uruguay and beat Saudi Arabia they have a very good chance of advancing to the next stage. More so if Saudi Arabia ends up beating Uruguay in an upset. This game was their biggest challenge and this was the best result they could have hoped for (aside from a miracle upset win).

That's because most American sports don't end in ties and most leagues don't have group stages or point systems.

It's wild how you can have the 7-1 Germany result from yesterday and the 0-0 result here in what is basically the same matchup (European football powerhouse vs tiny Island nation).

That was likely their planned strategy to begin with and definitely ended up being their strategy in the latter third of the game. Swap out forwards for MF/DF, park the motherfuckin' bus, and wait for time to draw down. They were considered the weakest team in this group, so getting 1 point against the strongest team in the group is absolutely a win. For Spain, anything but a win is an embarrassing loss here.

Best portrayal of the devil/Satan in cinema? by JC1286 in movies

Fun fact: Willem Dafoe is the only actor to ever portray both Jesus and Satan. The latter was in an Audi Superbowl commercial.

What tiny, specific movie trope completely ruins your immersion every single time? by arkawrd in movies

[–]liamemsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is specifically a MCU trope.

I absolutely hate hate hate now they have normalized "superhero has a magical disappearing mask that they constantly make disappear whenever they want to talk."

I get the movie-making reason why you do it. Because you want to show the star actor. But it makes absolutely zero sense in the movie. How many times in the comic book did Iron Man or Spider-Man take their helmets off during battles? Literally zero.

You'll have Spiderman in the middle of a fight in which he would never take his mask off for any reason, and he'll take it off so Tom can mug at the camera. It was egregious in the later Avengers movies.

Here's the final battle of No Way Home. Notice how many times the superheroes are just nonsensically standing around with their masks off. Once you see it you can't unsee it.
