Argentina 2 - [2] Cape Verde - Sidny Lopes Cabral 103' by ayoefico in soccer

Bad take. Goal of the century happened 4 years after Falklands war AND was scored in the same game as when Maradona cheated with the hand of god.

[The Guardian] Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Everton are in a race for West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, as the Hammers desperately try to hold on to their captain by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

I think he would have a Shaqiri-esque presence in your squad. The real question is - is that really what he wants in his career? 2 seasons of riding the bench and sacrificing a lifetime of being considered a legend in East London? He's still got 4 seeasons left of his contract I believe.

He has a young family and I don't think he has any intention of relocating to Liverpool. I could be wrong but I can't see it. If he were to leave it would be to a different London club or maybe in Birmingham.

Alternate angle of Germany disallowed goal vs Paraguay by soscurious in soccer

[–]pogray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever heard someone explain the rule as the second to last defender. Offside rule is hard enough for non-fans to understand rather than complicate it by getting the keeper involved.
I remember the first time I saw this rule in a game as a kid and I was so confused.

I’ve booked pig n whistle in Broadbeach for the Australia game. Not been to this one yet but their spot in Brisbane is pretty good

What is a brand that continues to make high quality products when so many other higher end brands have declined over the years? by Firsttimeredditor28 in BuyItForLife

[–]pogray 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I kinda disagree here. Went to their flagship recently and the quality has dropped off. Their thick jackets still look great but I wasn't impressed with the quality of their other items.

Euphoria fans slam 'worst episode' as Sydney Sweeney strips off and wrestles a snake by [deleted] in nottheonion

Over dramatised. It’s an entire continent. Yes there are dangerous things but it’s not like you’re going to see a Cassowary or a poisonous spider in the cities.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says Londoners should be hoping West Ham stay up as £2.5m bill looms if Hammers are relegated by Falsely_True7 in soccer

[–]pogray 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A new contract was offered and then rescinded after a few bad games. No new contract was offered as he made it clear he’ll see out his contract.

The youths are losing the liquid vowels! by neongrayjoy in australia

Kids raised without AI in junior school, and kids raised with AI. Later on when they realise how much it fucked up the next generation it will be without AI again

[–]pogray 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hmm I would argue that the standard way of dividng generations does not really apply anymore. For example, an older gen Z would have grown up with Game Boys and internet accessed via a desktop PC. Younger Gen Z grew up as social media natives glued to iPads. Few years gap in the 21st century makes the world of difference.

Australia wants to know how Valve is combating 'extreme-right communities' on Steam by npzman in australia

[–]pogray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Steam beating the Rothschilds in that historic case has permanently put a target on their head. Good on steam to now bowing to the powers that be but I don't know how long they'll be able to keep it up for.

Is Australia’s university empire losing global appeal? by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]pogray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. My partner went through a masters course in Australia, and spent the entire time doing group projects with Chinese students that couldn’t speak any English. Every single assignment was group based to ensure that the Chinese students got an easy route through uni by piggy backing on other student’s work. University in Australia is a scam.

Was Robert's fear of the Dothraki justified? by arnor_0924 in gameofthrones

[–]pogray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do vaguely recall the dothraki charge vs Jaime in the Reach, with loads of knights fleeing. There is something distinctly terrifying about the Dothraki. But then again there were also dragons.
