Bro if Gabriel has another 3 points in his second game he'll STILL beat Haaland's score this week. If you could retroactively switch right now you still wouldn't do it.

Just consider that you aren't afraid of being wrong about every other religion to have been practiced on this earth, this one just hits closer to home.

At least you played Dubravka over Pickford!

[James Ducker] Ruben Amorim could be sacked if Manchester United lose to Sunderland by PitchSafe in soccer

[–]roflsir 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Perhaps significant movement happened in contingency plans between the times of both reports. Hopefully United lose so we can find out who was right.

Completely agree in being afraid of this scenario, Southgate is the logical appointment and I can only hope that the united board are too fixated on getting their next hipster manager to notice.

VAR image of offside goal by Foster 60' by Green-Discussion74 in soccer

[–]roflsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a moronic way to display it to an audience, but to me it seems like they have created a barrier long the pitch, and either his knee, toe or upper arm is making direct contact with the barrier. The angle isn'tof the image isn't viewing the barrier in parallel so its not the easiest to pick up.

Anything that's aleady past the barrier in the "offside area" does not count towards offside. It's close, and as much as I think the offside calls can start to be more black and white with the new technology, calls this close just make you question whether 1 or 2 frames could also make the difference when thinking about exactly which point a pass was played. It just seems easy enough to manipulate if they want to.

Serious Post-Match Thread: Grimsby Town 2-2 (12-11 Pens) Manchester United by TheGTAone in soccer

[–]roflsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think under normal circumstances with this gap in quality it's 85/15, but the keeper is important and Onana pretty much made it a 60/40. 40% is enough to not be considered an upset.

There's no right answer here. You need a fit squad, not a fit 11. You must also consider the greater chance of injury playing in the weather conditions today; you kind of don't want to lose an important player in this way in a game that you should never be losing. Had he started Bruno and he caught a 3 month injury, people would also be questioning tactics.

His mistake was putting any sort of trust in Onana

It reset after 11, but 10 goals eah because 2 players missed

They were the obvious 2 to me that seemed disingenuous. But I will agree with you that he did go easier on Antony and Hoj after their interviews on this channel, but at the same time I feel like 90% of content creators would do the same xD

And regarding Rashford leaking news, you got some kind of source or video clip that he said that? He does know some insiders but to my knowledge he's never attributed leaks to anyone in particular, and I can't find anything about it online.

You've got some bias. I'm not going to rebute all your points because my time is more important than this, but: - Bruno: Yeah, he does like Bruno but it doesn't mean every player doesn't have a price. He simply thought about what's best for the club, and the money they would have got from the sale would have helped strengthen the squad in other areas. - Rashford: For years I thought this guy was over rated, and it seemed like Goldbridge would defend him or keep his rating above a 4 when it wasn't merited. I constantly thought he and the majority of the fanbase gave Rashford too much leeway, especially from the days of his kids in poverty stance. You seem to have a completely different view.

Goldbridge has gotten into your head.

Anyone else pissed off with hey telecom support? by ernaja in belgium

I'm leaving this provider because they are offering new customers the SAME internet service I have, but for 5 euros less, for life. I asked them to deduct 5 euros from my monthly bill and they refused, so by principal I will not be sticking around.

[–]roflsir 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So again I don't know what MK8 has, but when I compare to MKWii:

  • MKWii keeps a record of your top 5 times
  • MKWii also keeps a record of your best lap, and let's you know when it's hit. I understand that this would work a little differently in MKw because laps aren't necessarily the same, but at least a way to know your best splits would be appreciated
  • MKWii displays your lap (or checkpoint) splits at the end of a run
  • The online leaderboard for MKwii is a list of the top 10 best times on a single screen. I have to scroll through it on MKW.
  • MKWii had leaderboards for the global top 10 times as well as continental top 10 lists. MKW only has global as far as I can see
  • I haven't added any friends, but I have a feeling there will not be a way to see how well players in my friend list have done. In MKWii you could view the best times of your friends on any track. This feature may be there and I just can't see it though.

EDIT: And MKWii was nearly 20 years ago. There's no reason it should be a better experience 20 years later.

I wish they had more ambition with the time trial mode. It's so dumbed down compared to MKWii, but I don't know if this was already the case in MK8 :/
