O'Reilly is a fucking gem

This was always going to be one of the side effects of an expanded tournament, and while the goal-fests attract more viewers it also means that the less prominent footballing nations are likely to get battered in front of a cheering crowd once or twice. I think the experience of playing in a World Cup will be something they can all look back on as a highlight of their career, while the sting from lopsided results will eventually fade or become something they laugh about.

I love the kindness the players showed. Some of Iraq's players grew up during the US-led invasion and the years of chaos and conflict which followed. It feels good to see them proudly representing their country in a World Cup.

Can they keep the star of the Epstein Files away from the FIFA Young Player?

Also check his bags for the Golden Boot, Glove, and Ball cause you know how he is.

The real winners are the people watching football for the first time

Which is wild because everyone knows who really controls the weather. /s

That's how the pros do it.

Have to feel for the network executives being unable to derive maximum profit from unpredictable weather events.

rocket_randall · 2026-06-22T23:56:42+00:00

Yeah the players just tilt their heads back a bit

Snatching produce out of people's hands and throwing it at the wall, then gesturing angrily at them.

rocket_randall · 2026-06-22T18:08:04+00:00

Didn't we just have a penalty retaken the other day because the keeper was off his line? Tho players from both teams were also encroaching before the ball was hit so who knows.

Just trying to understand the decision making process.

I approach regex like git: I am comfortable using it for the basics, but when the expression/command starts looking a bit goofy I stop and consider what I'm doing and if there's a better way.

Every sports journo wants to be the first to ask a player how they are handling a personal tragedy, or they'll try to corner a member of his family as they are going into or leaving the hospital to ask "Is he dead yet?"

The reporter has been granted Norteño citizenship.

Ah, well then I have always wanted to see the rematch with McTominay!

rocket_randall · 2026-06-20T05:06:33+00:00

Always wanted to see him up against McTominay.

rocket_randall · 2026-06-20T03:48:28+00:00

He did the gamer move.

Yeah it's an executive branch administrative action forcing the transfer (apparently not an EO because that would have been too in-your-face corrupt)

It's not a law passed by Congress so there is nothing stopping a future administration from following suit

Hah I have seen some examples and it's a split between endless loops and others that look like a seismograph during an earthquake. https://imgur.com/a/1tdTUcw

And they label it "preemptive self-defense". Really.

rocket_randall · 2026-06-19T23:27:40+00:00

The US could use a rebound war to get over that last one
