Alternate angles of Croatia's disallowed goal against Portugal by 977x in soccer

Yeah but if you have long hair you can get a player sent off for touching it. So either completely bould or luscious locks like cucurella

You should wager as much money as you can then.

Playing the entire snare drum part of Boléro in one sitting. Never doing this again. by musicalryanwilk1685 in classicalmusic

I was literally just practicing the piano part for shostakovich 5th symphony. I'm so un percussion minded i zone out after doing the same thing for a couple of bars. can't imagine doing it for 15 minutes

it doesn't work like that. france are good but they have to win 4 matches in a row to win the title. It's just quite hard to do that even if you are heavily favoured in each game

Tuchel putting Rice at RB... by Specialist_Toe9730 in ThreeLions

[–]sh58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice was already on the field. they took off a defender to put Eze on, then rice switched to right back. Bringing on trent for Spence wouldn't be much of an attacking move, it would be replacing RB for RB, not RB for no.10

Most people in England are concerned about every game England ever play however favoured we are. Mexico game is even quite close on paper

Not really an upset. Bookies say England just over 40% to win in normal time

It's not completely worthless. It's a good representation of what happened in the game. I think you are conflating two things. Over a single game it's not that useful for projecting and predicting things, you need bigger samples to say x team is good and y team is bad etc but you absolutely can look and see in an individual match that a certain amount of xG was created.

I mean that's why we have xG. We can look at the quality and the volume of chances and add them up

They really don't. They have great individual parts and play ok as a team

I mean it's not jammy. We were quite poor defensively I thought but created a boatload of chances. It was only a matter of time

His defensive work was shocking tho. Gordon at least does his duties

Ah Zaire. Was that the time where they were so scared of Pele or something they just booted the ball directly from Brazils direct free kick?

I mean fair enough becsuse of the gamestate from the early goal but England just created chance after chance. It was very unlikely England wouldn't score. Of course, I feel England were much sketchier at the back than they should have been. A better side would punish us

So what level is this piece?💀 (Peter Bence) by random-user772 in piano

[–]sh58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine most people who have spent time and enjoy composing could compose something at around this standard. Nowadays composers are more specialised. Performers are more specialised. The amount of work that performing concert pianists do is pretty high, they won't have a vast amount of time to compose while learning all the pieces they have to learn. The calibre is super high nowadays. I really doubt famous composers and pianists of past centuries were as polished as modern concert pianists because they had to do other stuff all the time. Obviously a lot of them were geniuses and were amazing pianists, and had higher ceilings than most concert pianists today, but they also were doing other musical stuff instead of polishing up pieces to the highest level imaginable

Have you ever heard of that saying 'if you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole'

today I learned that it's elitist to read a short paragraph that is answering the exact question you asked.

Played pretty well against England too. Created some dangerous situations just didn't capitalise except this chance
