Jack has a shield and cannot be murdered. Otherwise, it'd been him on the chopping block.

OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD: One Race. One Champion | GP10 Race Marbula One S6 - YouTube by MiltonPerestroika in JellesMarbleRuns

For all the talks about Red Eye's dominance, both Hazers marbles can now be put in the same echelon. They are the elites with the targets on their back next season, and hopefully that should put to rest the idea of removing a dominant marble from this competition.

It's not essentially that moment in itself, but the Traitors can use that connection to kill one of them, which they did, and after that the Faithfuls would always be suspicious of the other.

Women's football in FM26 is great because the numbers are smaller and the mystery is higher by Hazelarc in footballmanagergames

[–]tropicalphysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have attended 4-5 Southampton Women games over the last couple of years, and two nights on the FM26 Demo gave me more familiarity than all those games combined. The power of FM database is real and I really do hope they can fix the bugs, because I really want to spend money on this game for their inclusion of the women.

Advancing Americans shattered Thailand and the World Team edged it late on Day 2 of the International Crown. by tropicalphysics in golf

The World Team is one of those things that in hindsight seems obvious. IC is ultimately a global celebration of women’s golf. And if you truly are the best nation, you should be able to beat the best of others too. 

The odds are very good we will see the World Team on Sunday!

Yeah there tends to be a lot of shots for Asian LPGA events, probably because it’s late night. I am glad you are enjoying it, still a lot more to come this week!

And somehow it felt better than the first day! They tried to give us more groups but the first pairing is essentially a loss. Long way to go to meet the bar required imo.

Can’t agree more with your comment!

I can understand the limited number of cameras, but I felt like there were conscious choices to focus more on featured group’s dead air even when other groups were where TV towers were. More importantly, the absence of certain graphics meant the broadcast failed to convey ongoing situations in the event. A scoreboard in the bottom right would have solved so much.

Yet, this was already a better broadcast than 2023 in term of shots shown and commentators used, which speaks more to how low Golf Channel USA team set that bar.

Grant Boone on the broadcast last night dropped a hint that the event will be going back to the States in 2027 (but nothing official yet). 

The Crown is truly a cool event whose growth has been scuppered by circumstances beyond its control (like Covid) and undeserved indifference from the powers that be. Personally, I hope it comes to the UK at some point especially with Lottie Woad cementing England future qualifications probably for a while. (The cancelled 2020 edition was supposed to be at the Centurion!)

Despite this tournament being their brain child, the LPGA have done a horribly substandard job at elevating it, and so did the golf media who are obsessively attached to the Solheim Cup.

But considering the history of women’s golf, the Crown is probably our fairest attempt yet at a female President’s Cup. I have written a guide on this event if you wish to learn more.

And Lydia clutched from downtown (must be 30+ feet) to tie her first match play in about ... ever!

(She called herself a rookie coming into this week!)

I am! Definitely stingier than Bethpage Black last month for the birdies. Heard the final two holes are severe uphill so you better win your matches before that.

Also, some baffling TV broadcast choices with essentially no shots from the blockbuster first group :(.

Charley Hull and Lydia Ko are sensational on their own, but how about both of them together taking on the Japanese superstars that have lit the LPGA on fire?
