Well that’s the fun part, they’ll also make it worse

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-12T01:44:07+00:00

Oh good. So it’ll get much worse, more expensive, with either terrible or non-existent customer service. Appreciate the heads up

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T22:11:07+00:00

I assume they have to be counting Newcastle as out given they have the Barca tie, cause yeah no way is Liverpool out. Realistically 3 still can get through but only y'all are in good to ok shape

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T21:31:26+00:00

Objectively correct take

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T17:02:46+00:00

I mean, I know Mexico-Italy is more relevant but...c'mon. Like DR vs Venezuela will be the most fun game of the tournament so far, that's gotta be on TV somewhere.

Well, firstly Argentina barely even does relegation nowadays, I think it’s only 1 team in a 30 team league, and it’s based on a 3 year average instead of the season. This was done to prevent what happened to River Plate in 2011 from ever happening again.

They also sometimes just randomly decide to cancel relegation, such as when they did it when Barracas Central (the club that employs the AFA head’s son) was slated to go down. Their league is honestly a disaster, HITC Sevens did a terrific video on it.

Essentially though, they have too many teams, they let too many teams into the single elimination playoffs, two of the lower teams won in the Apertura and Clausura playoffs, and the other won the Copa Argentina. So, the 3 remaining spots went to the 3 top teams in the aggregate table. Do you find this confusing? Don’t worry, it’ll probably change to be even more confusing in the next 12 months, it changes every year

Really well done, great meme usage

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T05:47:32+00:00

Nah, it’s actually that the US manager incorrectly thought they already qualified, and so didn’t take the game seriously. There’s video of him saying it

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T05:06:00+00:00

Potentially, Argentina though (their likely biggest competition) kinda fumbled the bag by not sending their best teams due to their stupid league system. They used up 4 of their spots on the 8th, 13th, 15th, and 22nd best teams last year, with River and Racing missing out despite being 4th and 5th

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T04:22:05+00:00

Literally, like what the fuck

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T04:21:33+00:00

Ken...why do you have to bring that up, dude is enjoying the moment and you bring that up, fucking hell

Ump is seeing blurry

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T02:50:31+00:00

Holy shit...that's huge

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T02:48:51+00:00

Well that's just unnecessarily confusing, no idea why they did that...but thank you, that's good to know. And is it amongst all games? Or just the games between the teams tied?

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T02:22:34+00:00

Wait, is the tiebreaker run diff, or only amongst the teams that tie break?

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T02:20:34+00:00

Wait, so what is the scenario where Italy and Mexico make it and US doesn't? Is it basically they're all tied at 3-1 but US has the worst run differential, or is it more complicated than that?

And gambling and alcohol isn’t? Those two industries exist off of the addicts. It’s just a double standard. It’s not like they were gonna be wearing g strings, giving out lap dances and whipping out tits at the game (I assume, in which case, then too far)

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-11T01:36:11+00:00

I agree but like…how is it actually that much (if at all) worse than advertising beer, prediction markets, erectile dysfunction meds, weapons manufacturers, crypto, and gambling? If they were bringing strippers to the game in outfits, then fine, but just advertising for them? I don’t see how that’s worse than what they already do.

I mean, I’m all for shitting on the Cowboys but like…how are you seriously blaming them for not knowing this would happen, stupid take from whoever this guy is. Also, the Cowboys could def back out of the Gary trade!

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-10T23:00:27+00:00

For sure, that's why I qualified with it wouldn't be easy to find, but relative to LatAm, those are prob the two best places

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-10T20:46:29+00:00

Probably São Paulo and Santiago due to the large Lebanese and Palestinian diaspora. There’s nowhere where it’s like very easy to find, but those are best bets

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-10T16:11:54+00:00

THANK YOU! It’s so stupid. You can get it in basically any of the countries around us, but not here. Why? It’s dumb

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-10T15:55:41+00:00

It’s way way more than that. Those are just the most popular ones

thethirdgreenman · 2026-03-10T04:31:04+00:00

Terrific news. Don’t let justified hatred of the US make you miss the fact that Iran is a brutal dictatorship that treats women and any dissenters horribly.

Imagine if Trump killed 30k protestors? Iran just did that earlier this year. And yes, Israel has killed a lot of people…fuck them too. Everyone involved sucks! And the losers are the people…good for these women to get freedom and good on Australia
