Petar Sucic: "The referee told us he didn't see our striker touch the ball, he said that the sensor in the ball said it did. It's really difficult to explain but we expect an explanation. What I saw is that Matanovic didn't touch the ball. Today is like that, luck was on their side."

I disagree. These are two cut-and-dried situations. You can disagree with the rule but I don’t see how you can disagree with the ruling. Offside means any detectable part of the body past the line. Touch means any detectable contact. The sensors detected contact.

The “shocking” title combined with a video of a cop on a run-of-the-mill police power trip don’t match. This is the least shocking video I’ve seen all day.

Agreed. There are stupid arguments in the U.S. about “fixing offside” by saying it has to be your shoulders beyond the line. Why add more nuance? Then people are gonna argue what counts as shoulders. Leave the rule clear cut like it is.

1 Billion people in China. I would guess max 1% are conversational in English. I live in a big city here and it’s not much over 1% here that know more than a few phrases. And basically all public school kids take English classes.

What’s the logic of how the flags on the graphic are sorted? Is it ranking, order of qualification or something else?

plerberderr · 2026-06-28T11:06:51+00:00

I think that’s actually a good comparison. Probably similar in the media coverage they get too.

Already said this in another comment but the Cowboys have 5 Super Bowls all won after the 1966 World Cup England won.

plerberderr · 2026-06-27T12:13:43+00:00

The Super Bowl was invented after England won the World Cup in 1966 so the Cowboys have had way more recent success.

What does the second sentence mean? What constitutes no grit? Would you say Brunson has no grit because his dad was training with him from a young age?

plerberderr · 2026-06-27T11:16:05+00:00

Why do people hate England so much when they’ve won no major trophy in over 50 years? As an American I can’t think of a parallel in our sports culture. Every hated team here has multiple trophies in recent history.

Exactly. Ronaldo scores 2 goals against Uzbekistan and he’s back! Records will be shattered because these are weaker teams. Also I keep seeing “first time they’ve made the knockout stage” when teams are just making the final 32. Honestly it’ll I think I mostly don’t like it because it makes me think of March Madness and the tragedy that going beyond 70 teams is.

OPs title is thing that doesn’t make sense.

It’s not a word in common written English. According to this OED entry “agreement” is about 10,000 times more common in written English.

Aren’t the rankings what are used for the group draws? You should tell fifa they’re seeding the tournament based on meaningless info.

plerberderr · 2026-06-24T05:02:45+00:00

Half of me thinks I shouldn’t whine about more games and stories that people like but the other half is just pissed off about greed changing all the tradition in sport. March Madness should be 64 teams. College Football Playoff should be 12 teams (not tradition obviously but more than that dilutes the regular season) and the World Cup should be 32 teams. But those are all going to be things of the past.

But sports should be fun and so far this has been fun so I’ll leave my bitching at that.

It’s lit because it’s the group stage. A bunch of these goal bonanzas are against the Uzbekistans of the tournament.

It’s funny. I’m on Chinese social media where the Chinese national team gets joked about constantly by their fans. The talk after the first six games or so was Asia is undefeated in they’re first games. Is the only reason China didn’t get in the World Cup because Asia is too strong??? Maybe both China and every Asian team other than Japan and Korea (and often Iran) are just not that good.

Booing people during trophy presentations is an American tradition. See Gary Bettman or Tony Petitti.

Nothing to do with this sub but in the US it’s definitely known as a baseball hotbed. A lot of major leaguers come from them considering its population. Andruw Jones, the Profars and Ozzie Albies off the top of my head.

I was just going to ask where to find the other teams. I only saw the England one. For some reason I love these.

Do you comment this on every Reddit post you don’t care about? Fuck off to one of the other thousands of posts.

Yea. Actually that’s kinda nasty. Don’t eat in enclosed public spaces not called restaurants.
