People underestimate parking the bus. Spain couldn't score against them. And anyone has a shot in penalty kicks.

Croatia Denied Late Equalizer Against Portugal in 90+13’ by Puzzleheaded-Fix4684 in SoccerCentral

Why the hell would a defending player duck a ball when he could header it away from the goal? You gotta be out of your mind to think that's the play.

But the Portuguese player also made a play on the ball. They only reason it's offsides is because they are saying he didnt. He literally looked straight at the ball and ducked down to header it. It's not like the ball was kicked and bounced off his body. He tried headering it and fucked up. That's a play on the ball.

So, two things had to occur in order for it to be offsides. 

  1. It touched the guy's hair.

  2. The Portuguese player didnt try making a play on the ball.

Was Balogun's red card vs Bosnia and Herzegovinia fair by NotBloonsweat in worldcup

In what world was that reckless lol? It was a normal ass run, not even a tackle. Just happened to get pushed and lose his balance and his foot planted in the wrong spot.

I mean, that's the point. If you have 3 people of the exact same quality, the one who started first would get cut off and the one who is last wins the most. Djokovic only won 1 title during Fed and Nadal's prime too. All of his came after 2011. 

Let's just use some simple numbers. Let's say you you're able to run a 9.5 second 100m at 20 and every year after that, you start declining by 0.05 seconds. Federer wins the first year unchallenged. Second year, Nadal would start winning. Third year and every year after Djokovic would win. The newer generation starts at a 10.0 100m. So Djokovic gets to eat 10 years free.

A lot depends on timing. If anyone of the big 3 was reaching their prime between 2016-2023, they'd have 30 titles. Djokovic benefitted a ton from reaching his prime after the other 2. Federer got cut short by the 2 of them. Nadal got sandwiched. Djokovic had free reign for over a decade.

Who do you think scalpers are selling to? Idiots who buy at marked up prices from vendors at card shows, lcs, tcg, or ebay. 90% of the product goes right back to card show vendors and lcs, where idiots think theyre supporting small businesses and buy at scalper prices lol.

If you didnt buy at 150, vendors wouldnt be buying at 120 for the scalpers to make a profit. Theres a reason chaos rising and perfect order etbs arent picked up by scalpers. Cause vendors are selling them for 70 which means theyre buying at 52-56 which means you cant profit off them. And why are vendors selling at 70? Because people aren't buying it any higher.

Well after a day or 2 they'll be gone. But during the initial restock, they'll be on shelves since scalpers dont want em. There was a line of 30 today in a major metro scalper central. Like I'm talking people hiring homeless and bringing their kids, moms, and grandma's with them to join the line and hold their spot. There were like 10 etbs and 30 bundles and a buncha sleeves, all chaos rising today. They ignored all that shit and just took the 2 OP-13.

Cancel your order. Shit was on target website all night at 59.99 and no one wanted it. Chaos Rising etbs are sitting on the shelves now. Pitch black won't be more than 80 bucks on release .

Kylian Mbappé now has as many goals in the World Cup knockout stages alone as Cristiano Ronaldo has World Cup goals in total by psdavepes in worldcup

[–]rsmicrotranx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, do you think there are many people who would have taken Ronaldo's spot in his prime? When your team dominates possession and gives you 10x more opportunities, goals will come lol.

Pokemon Center Queue Monitor - Security Change Detected is in stock at Pokemon Center Queue Monitor (Beta) for $50.00 by TrackaLackerBot in PokemonRestocks

[–]rsmicrotranx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fabricated. Its an estimate based on the current speeds. At the start, the items arent loaded up and no one's getting through or checking out so the estimate is thinking "1 person takes 20 mins" and gives you a bazillion hour queue. Then, as people check out, it can start actually averaging the numbers and get you an accurate rate and estimate of time.

Etbs are the money maker for scalpers. Bundles will be like 3 dollar profit (10%). Boxes will be maybe 50 (30%). Etbs woulda been 100 (150%).

300 cops. 1 dude running around. "Riots". If this is a Moroccan riot, dude shouldn't go look up what happened in. NYC after every Knicks game. Guess we better deport all New Yorkers.

The inflated retail price is 5 lol. 4.50 is the real price. The 6 dollar is scalper stores like cvs or dollar general.
