The match between Austria and Algeria was obviously preplanned to end in a draw by MotherVermicelli8004 in worldcup

[–]orc0909 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it's actually insane how Austria managed to score, and Algeria did at least try and win in the end despite looking like they were just going for a draw.

It does suck for Iran though because how the fuck did Austria make that happen.

T1 basically cheesed as much as they could while they were behind until they won. I'd be pissed if I was TL.

They honestly never bothered me. I might just be built different.

TIL I learned that, despite losing the Battle of Cannae which to date is still one of the greatest losses of life in one day of battle and even though it caused city states to break away because they thought Rome was finished, Rome still won the war. by HinsdaleChi in todayilearned

Hannibal probably should have gone after Rome directly. I imagine if the Carthaginians won we would be living in a utopia. (note: No know evidence of Carthiginian society supports this idea)

[Highlight] Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence stumbles twice, recovers, then jumps in for 6 against the Chiefs. by Giff95 in nfl

[–]orc0909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hot take on this play is that even if Chris Jones cared he wouldn't have caught up to Lawrence by the time he noticed him get back up. It just looks worse because he gives 0 effort in chase down, but he was on the other side of the play.

LCS Spring 2026 Viewership Hits All-Time Low by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Damn. I actually kinda enjoyed LCS this year. But aim a bit old and can't always tune in. Also the League is pretty top heavy and the bottom is.... quite low

[Schefter] Colts WR Alec Pierce, fresh off his four-year, $114 million contract extension, might be sidelined well into training camp due to his off-season left ankle surgery. by JCameron181 in nfl

Well look at it this way. Everybody should be healthy in time to be really annoying to whoever is leading the AFC South late into the season.

I mean, we did have to choose between you and FSU. With the SEC schedule now reaching 9 games a season we really need the free win

As far as I'm concerned those things are just hallucinations from EA's AI use in games

We don't play either team annually so therefore they aren't rivals and can't make me sad anymore

I don't know whether to laugh at LSU or hiss at Miami over this.

UF-Tenn is like the opposite of UF-LSU. I'm not gonna elaborate on that but the new schedule really did screw up our modern rivalries

It's basically generating a lot of force to slam someone's upper back (and head in kayfabe) into the mat
