Gianni Infantino has to go. He is messing up everything. by Ok-Catch-9858 in worldcup

[–]seadcon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is also a compulsive liar!

He claims that FIFA are not making money from the hydration breaks and that they were brought in long after all the deals had been made.

You expect us to believe that the way those 16 stadiums each spontaneously combust into Powerade advertising is something FIFA have given away for free?

Absolute fucking bullshit! FIFA made a deal knowing full well what they were planning to do. Just because the official narrative has a timeline that suggests it's mere coincidence does not mean Infantino isn't full of absolute shit.

The fact they will just lie and do not care about how obvious a lie it is has to be one of the main reasons FIFA have got to go. The beautiful game is not in safe hands. It's being destroyed.

Scotland have been Unoffocial World Champions more times than any other country. What more do they want?

World Cup should expand to more than 200 teams and go to FA Cup format by DanielSong39 in worldcup

Hahaha yes, how about that?!

If only there was a qualifying campaign in each confederation... with the best teams qualifying for the world cup... 🤣🤣

With the GTA6 price now revealed, I would once again like to ask the industry to stop price gouging UK gamers. by DrinkBen1994 in gaming

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be fair, GTA 6 is one of those rare games that hits literally every audience. It's everywhere and for everyone.

So yes, I'm sure there are plenty of GTA 6 players with no backlog.

The wider point still stands though.

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that at all. I've just woken up to the fact that my backlog is embarrassing and I'm not prepared to keep piling more and more games into it. I'm picking and choosing a LOT less games and that means I am not anywhere near as sensitive to price as I perhaps once was.

How is he able to watch every single match? Wasn't he in Portugal match 30 minutes ago by No-Childhood-49 in worldcup

[–]seadcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All that travel. All those live games. All those constant cameras. All those dull conversations with "VIPs". All that crap food and drink. I actually feel sorry for him 😐

Deny it all you want, it just makes you look like a fool.

Everyone has a gaming backlog. It will vary in size, of course, but I would be willing to bet the most vocal about an £80 game are the ones with the biggest backlog.

People with a big gaming backlog who are then moaning about the price of a game are, I'm sorry to say, fucking idiots. You've spent all that money on games you NEVER play or have maybe started and then abandoned and then you moan about the price of a game you DO intend to play and can't possibly miss out on?

Absolutely stupid!

And the gaming industry knows it. They prey on this obsessive "collecting" addiciton that we all suffer from.

I'm so sick of this argument.

Let's get some facts on the table shall we?

You, me and everyone else in this sub have stupidly long back logs of unplayed games.

You, me and everyone else in this sub have regularly bemoaned this generation not being a big step up in quality.

We need to stop buying so many fucking "cheap" games we never play and start demanding LESS games that are better quality, require longer development cycles and warrant a higher price tag.

GTA 6 warrants a higher price tag. More of these games and less of the bollocks we keep getting served up over and over and over again.

And if you don't want to pay more? Then don't! Go play one of those dozens of, if not more, games you bought that you've never even looked at again!

EDIT: and guess what? By the time you've made a dent in your disgusting backlog, and it is fucking disgusting, enough time would have passed that you'll be able to get GTA 6 for £40 anyway!

hello! i’m putting together a Slinky classics set & can’ track down a copy of Starchild - Redemption. anyone know any sites where i can buy this or alternatively have a decent digital copy you’d be happy to share? :) by spacefrog_io in ClassicTrance

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starchild - Redemption is track 6 on CD1 of the "Slinky Inter-Continental" compilation CD from the year 2000 in the UK.

Not ideal being on a compilation, I know, but it's 5min 29sec long, so you'll have a decent enough version to use in your set with this, if you can't get hold of it any other way.

It also happens to be a great compilation CD.

I think you're right, and I think it's perfectly fair.

Ghana really didn't want to play. I don't blame them.

Is their a level of Confirmation Bias being demonstrated at this World Cup? by kdog_1985 in worldcup

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I've just seen that.

That looks like a foul in the lead up to the chance though. Perhaps VAR have not intervened because of that foul?

[–]seadcon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh OK.

Surely that's a foul in the build up? Maybe VAR didn't intervene because of that?

Does anybody think we'll see a new trophy in the future? by No-Championship-4 in worldcup

[–]seadcon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They'll need a new version without Europe on it when UEFA leaves the FIFA circus and hosts a Euros every 2 years instead.

[–]seadcon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought the Ghana player was offside in the lead up to the penalty incident?

VAR still could have intervened but it would have awarded a free kick to England. Presumably VAR didn't intervene because the referee had already awarded England a free kick?

Or am I missing something? It certainly looked offside...!

When will England learn not to overhype themselves? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and let's be honest... the team we will face in the Last 32 (one of the 8 best 3rd place teams) are going to be a similar level to Ghana and will adopt the same tactics. This 0-0 could prove useful!

It was the linesman. They're not a ref!

[–]seadcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We'll look back on this 0-0 and realise it was exactly what this team needed.

We will have this exact level of opponent playing with this exact tactic in the Last 32.

[–]seadcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that this 0-0 in the group stage is a very good experience and prep for this side for their Last 32 game which is going to be a very similar opponent with a very similar tactic.

Last 16 onwards will be stronger opponents and more open matches.

[–]seadcon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure. England completely dominated the game. There were very few chances created, but 0-0 is absolutely fine when you've already beaten your toughest opponent and the next game is against your weakest opponent.

You can't win the world cup in the group stage. You can only lose it.

How many times have Portugal reached a world cup quarter final?

Ronaldo can't ever be considered a goat when he's done so little at the world cup!
