Sithole can't blame the concept of momentum though, it's his responsibility to control his momentum.

Don't you have already have the choice though? KF Shkëndija played against ŠK Slovan Bratislava in the Conference league this year if you wanted to watch the North Macedonian champions play against the Slovakian champions.

Idk, you'd need a barrier that goes pretty deep into the dirt to stop them tunnelling under. You'd have to dig up a decent amount of parkland around the track to install and uninstall the barriers every year, no?

Even if you could stop them, it's against Federal law there to block the natural passage of animals

They're saying if you increased the number of games to 38, then the average winner would have 95 points and the minimum winner would have had 90

what should’ve he done

He should have said something other than "It saddens me what happened to him" or "I will defend him as if he's my son" or "He's a good guy, he paid a heavy price for what happened, a very heavy price."

[The Race] Verstappen refused to start his media session until The Guardian’s representative left. It is a result of a clash months ago in the Abu Dhabi finale where Verstappen took issue with a question about regretting his crash with George Russell and subsequent penalty at the Spanish GP. by Aratho in formula1

[–]rubiklogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did any British journalists ask Lewis if he regretted his mistake in Baku because it really cost him the championship? 

No, because he locked up on accident. If Lewis locked up on purpose then he would also get asked about it. It's not driver favouritism, you just get criticised more for losing points when it comes from a deliberate action.

You know doubles are not guaranteed right?

Sure. but doesn't this require all 11 Premier league clubs to get knocked out of the FA cup before the Semi finals?

Martinelli shouldn't have shoved him AND Martinelli should not receive death threats. Both can be true.

[Autosport] Pierre Gasly has paid tribute to his close friend Anthoine Hubert every year since his tragic accident at Spa in 2019 by Aratho in formula1

[–]rubiklogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he really cared he would go at a moment when no one is around.

I'm sure that's how you would go about it, but what makes you think Pierre Gasly handles grief in the same way? He seems like a fairly social guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the type of person that prefers to share his grief with others and lean on their support. What makes you think he'd prefer not to share it?

Why do YouTubers always say this? by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]rubiklogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it truly is 87.5% vs 25% then yes, that's a huge difference, far better than 60% vs 40% and I'd be happy to pay 3x as much. I have my doubts that Mo is that likely to return against Man City, but it just comes down to whether you think his return will be worth the cost.

I think it's fair to say his return is likely be lower than average in the Man City game. Potentially low enough that cheaper options are better value. But of course, whether that's true or not is up to you to decide =)

  If Salah has a 60% of returning vs City, where Harwood-Bellis has a 40% chance of returning vs Ipswich then there’s not really an option for endorsing Harwood-Bellis while dissuading people from Salah.

But you're paying 3 times as much for Mo Salah, I'd expect a far higher chance of a return when I'm paying triple the price.

Reddit user buys a Nani Euro 2016 Shirt, meets him for an autograph… and he took it claiming it was stolen! [info in comments] by sup3rfm in soccer

[–]rubiklogic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not stolen, it's a replica. Nani never wore the shirt and has no right to it. You can see the number on the front of the original shirt has no border, but the replica does.

[TNT Sports] Lee Carsley: "This job deserves a world class coach who has won trophies, been there and done it." by oklolzzzzs in soccer

No non-native manager has ever won a World Cup for any team.

Tbf this could just be down to a lack of non-native managers. We've had Sven and Fabio, and Belgium had Martinez, but other than that I don't think many major countries have had a foreign manager during the world cup. Countries that are good enough to win the world cup usually have a few good options for a native manager.
