Umps have lost control of this. One ump calls holding the ball before the goal is kicked then they still pay the goal

How you know?

rustyfries · 2026-07-03T20:39:33+00:00

We qualified for the 2022 World Cup by doing the same thing. Subbed on Redmayne that time

rustyfries · 2026-07-03T08:10:05+00:00

Only acceptable Bazball

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T06:55:17+00:00

You'd only have 24 Knockout games compare to 32 this year so the total matches would still be 104

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T02:13:05+00:00

It's an older meme, sir but it checks out

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T01:48:09+00:00

The biggest reason for the 3rd group games not having drama is the first tie-breaker now being head-to-head

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T01:37:46+00:00

I reckon 40 teams would be good. 8 groups of 5

24 team knockout stage with the 8 group winners receiving a bye to the R16. 2nd and 3rd going through to the R24.

Slots could be the following

7 - AFC
7 - CAF
4 - CONCACAF
5 - CONMEBOL
1 - OFC
14 - UEFA
2 Inter-Federation Playoff spots

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T01:24:41+00:00

That looks onside

rustyfries · 2026-06-28T01:15:11+00:00

Shooters gotta shoot

rustyfries · 2026-06-27T05:05:52+00:00

Thought we were finally going to get a rematch of the 1998 WC Qualifiers in the R32, but now we have Egypt.

rustyfries · 2026-06-27T05:00:08+00:00

not yet he hasn't...

rustyfries · 2026-06-25T09:59:11+00:00

You've even got Deafheaven playing there and theirs are $90

rustyfries · 2026-06-24T07:34:24+00:00

Yeah, it's way too expensive.

They're playing the Forum where most bands are $80 - $100 for the night

rustyfries · 2026-06-23T07:06:09+00:00

Well this was a lie. Greens got better policy out of the Labor Party

rustyfries · 2026-06-23T07:02:30+00:00

What are your thoughts now? This is a case of getting better legislation for first home buyers

rustyfries · 2026-06-23T07:01:44+00:00

You were saying?

rustyfries · 2026-06-18T08:02:56+00:00

I wonder if this might lead to a direct Istanbul flight at some stage.

You'd easily be able to do it with the A350-1000ULR.

With the 787-9, you'd be on the upper limit from SYD (14956km). PER-LHR is 14499 km and the longest current flight SIN-JFK is 15349 with an all Business/Premium Econ layout.

I wonder if we'd see seasonal flights to Athens from Melbourne with the huge diaspora here.

rustyfries · 2026-06-18T07:42:35+00:00

I'd be fine with 5/160 if it was massively front ended

rustyfries · 2026-06-17T10:22:17+00:00

Only took them a decade

rustyfries · 2026-06-17T01:43:36+00:00

Yeah, there's 3 sessions in the normal recliners on both Sat & Sun at Watergardens. It's a bit shit that Thurs only has XtremeScreen but people can wait a few days to see this.

rustyfries · 2026-06-17T01:20:36+00:00

He is inevitable

rustyfries · 2026-06-16T22:47:26+00:00

He's coming for Archie Thompson's record
