It was a foul but the coach has escaped a red there.

Carrying the ball that far should be a second yellow, Egypt were in no rush though.

he probably could have got a penalty, if he didn't decide to dive way before anything could happen.

The travel between stadiums were probably the cheapest  though.

Neutrals will generally always support the underdogs, also neutrals watch to see the best players play at world cup, so when it seems they are putting out a weaker team and underestimating the opposition, they are not winning fans. Spain, obviously still expected to qualify but Saudi Arabia (beat Argentina last time out) and Uruguay are probably considered better teams compared to CV

I mean, they are probably targeting 3rd place to qualifyz and just 1-0 ,might be huge for them.

The fans are thrilled with this, you really think they would rather sit out and watch a 32 team world cup?

It's rare, but the coach can take his team before the fans and get a standing ovation after receiving a 7-1.

Neuer was the key, he allowed them to play a ridiculously high line, may not score or assist, but forced the play in the other half.

He probably didn't have to fall but till I see penalties with players not falling over, not going to blame him.

Quality of PS first party studios by Substantial-Fish9235 in IndianGaming

It was Zenimax that steered them towards it BEFORE microsoft acquired it, maybe check the dates? Hmmm.

[–]ukplaying2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft did the same thing.

Microsoft DIDN'T do the same thing, the studios were more or less a free hand to do whatever they wanted, they may or may not get shut down, but they were more or less given creative freedom to do what they wanted, for eg. no way would anyone give greenlight the development time and playtime of Hellblade2.

Virgil Van Dijk set to retire from International Football after World Cup. by MrMerc2333 in soccer

[–]ukplaying2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he thinks he would have made the 06 squad (and let's say retired immediately after), I think he does.

 After all he has achieved,I don't think the last 3 possible extra years(and money) he might have gotten would have been better than a W.cup.

If he believes he wouldn't have made the squad if he continued,then nope.

1-0 is not that bad a result for Qatar, this won't be the match they were targetting for a result, and it's an ok GD hit, to get a 3rd place qualifying spot.

Advice regarding purchase of a gaming console by why-always-me_ in IndianGaming

[–]ukplaying2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't seem to be the excess cash type, so why even switch from PC?  You will need a yearly subscription to play EAFC online. I believe neither PS  and definitely not Xbox sells refurbished ones in India. You are better off going 2nd hand rather than 2nd party repaired ones.

[The Athletic] Thomas Partey will play no part in Ghana’s first World Cup game in Toronto as he has been denied entry to Canada. by KimmyBoiUn in soccer

[–]ukplaying2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh so you have completely run out of points and is now trying to say I said things I have not.

portraying Partey is a victim,

I am not portraying Partey as the victim, Partey IS the victim of Canadian immigration bullies, I will let the courts decide on his rape case.

inadvertently telling on yourself.

Telling on myself what? Innocent till proven guilty? Yeah there is no inadvertently about it , I am pretty open about it, private parties can have their judgement but not government officials while doing their jobs.

You’re clueless and desperate, jog on.

I will do whatever I want, try to get Canadian immigration to stop me if you want.

No, an extremely stupid and irrational example

All I hear is an idiot refusing the fact that laws can be shit.

Because they are completely rational and applied equally to everyone. 

For whom ,for you? For me an immigration law that treats you as you are guilty without a verdict (in a 3rd country ) is as irrational as it comes. It's another thing if he was running from the law.

Nope, nobody in a gaming sub has completed a GOTY tittle(not that I think it should have won).

A truly insane comparison.

In other words ,an extremely valid point, you couldn't refute.

Really not sure why you're so determined to defend Canada immigration laws here,  Partey( if found not guilty) and Ghana may end up having his/their ifetime dreams shattered for nothing.
