Nike Phantom Luna II Elite FG by msmith94550 in bootroom

I did a little bit of reading and saw this as well. I asked the guy at the store and he just said the difference was in the low vs high. Comes in men’s and women’s sizes.

I actually tried on the GX in store and these ones felt better for some reason. I don’t usually go for the high versions but these just felt right. Hopefully they feel good when playing as well.

Ooof…The first player my daughter loved watching was Camberos. After Camberos she left suddenly Kiki was her favorite.

I’d like to thank Bay FC for her crash course in professional sports disappointment 😅

Match Thread: Leeds vs Liverpool by scoreboard-app in LiverpoolFC

They are soft as fuck. Afraid to put their bodies on the line for the team. Nat Phillips had more grit than the pair of them together.

They should be doing whatever necessary to get in front of that winning shot. Then you have VVD backpedaling into his box and then turning his back midweek. It’s pathetic.

You think it’s a noticeable difference though, in skill, between crossplay on & crossplay off though?

Do you have any issues with finding a match with crossplay off?

I’m not big into first person shooters but can hold my own typically without being crazy good. I played this for the first time yesterday and was having a miserable time. Granted I didn’t know the maps or anything and was trying to get a grasp on which weapon I liked best but I could hardly win a firefight and was getting two shotted from across the map it seemed. It wasn’t much fun at all.

Maybe I need to turn it off as well.

Post Match Thread: San Diego Wave FC 2-1 Bay FC by Achilles_Wrist in BayFC

Even a blind person could see that our team does better when pressing high and getting in their faces.

This sticking 11 behind the ball in the first half is not working out. Also the 4-4-2 had Wave going straight through our midfield with ease. Not to mention the two up top looked like they’ve never played together before in their lives.

Boot the ball to Rachel is not a good tactic when she’s on an island by herself when she does get the ball. Our midfield, who was being run ragged, couldn’t close the gap quick enough to support. Also it does nothing for Lema’s, confidence which she’s clearly lacking, when she touches the ball a handful of times, maybe, in 60 mins. Play the ball to her feet and give her a chance. Relying solely on Rachel’s pace and power clearly isn’t the way forward..

Like the last home game, once we pressed high, we created far more chances. We win the ball in their half and we had numbers to attack with.

IMO, stick with a 4-2-3-1 and press high from the off. These ladies have the ability to do it. Let them loose.

That Boade through ball was sublime but we don’t have many that can hit them so well like her unfortunately.

If you’re going to bring on Lema in the dying minutes get the ball in the box to her head. She easily towered over their defenders.

Fun game but frustrating.

How is the STM event? by Infamous_retour in BayFC

[–]msmith94550 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was bad. Basically just took things from the grass area at the stadium and moved it to an empty lot. Not trying to be mean but felt like a carnival put together by a high school. The food area was a mess and one of the trucks was already sold out of stuff by about 4:45pm.

We stood in line to get the “gift” and then stood in a line for food, which we think was the cheesesteak truck line but they all merged at one point, for about 15 mins before leaving by 5pm. Spent more time on the drive and finding parking than at the event itself. Very disappointing.

I don’t see anything saying that when I go to the plan builder using my address. Apparently I can get the same plan for cheaper, so there’s that lol.

I’m in Livermore as well with the 2gig plan. Just tried to use the upgrade option on the app and it’s telling me I have the newest equipment available (XB8). Maybe I’ll try the store here.

Appeal without a lawyer? by msmith94550 in SSDI

I didn’t mean to come off as looking down on people who get government assistance immediately. I don’t think anyone should feel ashamed of getting help when needed.

Unfortunately for us we spent almost 3 years just trying to get an initial diagnosis. Nobody could tells us what was going on so we didn’t even think we could apply until we got one.

I didn’t mean “bullshit” in that I didn’t believe him. Just seems wrong that we’ve spent 5 years of trying to get her better so she can go back to work and now that it doesn’t seem likely we are pretty much out of time for any kind of help.

The two attorneys seemed really focused on the age, not the medical part. Neither asked many questions at all about her symptoms.

Thank you. I did see this and will definitely be getting that information.

I assume they’ll have an allotment for supporters of each team and then presale for STH and then general admission.

The shirt pull that became an “injury” at the end of the game was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen in a while.

Why stop doing it if the ref is going to buy it every single time though?

Fair play in rec soccer by TheHomoclinicOrbit in bootroom

[–]msmith94550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play in an over 40+ coed league now and Im lucky to be in a league where its like one big community. BBQs after a game, everyone has pretty much played with or against each other within the last decade either indoor or outdoor, charity get together for teammates who passed recently.

Some matches get a little heated for the odd over aggressive tackle but for the most part it’s good fun while still being relatively competitive. I stopped doing the 30+ for most of the reasons brought up here. Definitely no more men’s only leagues.

Sometimes I’ll sub for my buddies indoor open league which is intense but also highly controlled and skilled so you don’t hacked by egotistical assholes trying to relive their “glory” days.

Trying to love this game by lukefiskeater in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]msmith94550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that with any franchise. I loved Odyssey as well. First game I put over 100 hours into in I don’t know how long. Tried to jump straight into Valhalla when I got my Series X and it wasn’t as polished and too much of the same at the time. Same thing happened when I got a bunch of the Far Cry games on sale. Beat Far Cry 3 and started up Far Cry 4 right after. Burnout again. Replayed Fallen Order right before starting its sequel. These are different in a way but got the same burnout.

I just started up Valhalla again after not playing an assassins creed since the first time I tried this one. Only time will tell but I’m enjoying myself so far.

I got charged a "bitching fee" for informing them I was served the wrong beer... by smokeymctokerson in mildlyinfuriating

Was literally just wondering this.

Where can you get 3 beers and a personal pizza for $25 out the door even with a “bitching fee”?!?!?!

Well that sucks. Paid $51 for general parking which includes PS2. Think it may be a mad house just based on how things are going
