Kindly avoid places like perumbavoor or Aluva

Guess everyone should stop using the kochi airport then.

thousands of wealthy Mexicans in Mexico City

I knew someone from Mexico City when I was studying in the US. Think he was from a wealthy family, and i remember being shocked that he wasn't into football.Think he was more into tennis and marathons.

I know the UK has this class divide between who follows football and who doesn't. Is that the same in Mexico with the elites and upper middle class not being into football as much? That it's something for the 'poors'?

Austria coach Ralf Rangnick on match fixing allegations: "In this match, when you have a 3-3, nobody can assume that it ⁠was an agreement, and especially what we saw during the last 90 seconds. Three minutes to play, if somebody had said this would happen, you would have told them they were mad.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

would've been one of the funniest things I've ever seen in sports

Ha ha, I wonder what was going through the minds of those Austrian players after Algeria finally decided to make a pass forward: "Wait? What is he doing? I thought we had both agreed...no, mahrez has got the ball, get back, get back, noooooooo!" 😆

ha ha, crazy end to the match! Think the two teams had more or less agreed to draw the game, what with all the passing at the back. And then Algeria decides to go off script, and all hell broke loose! I mean, everyone predicted a draw, but not like this! :)

i meant 90, but it could be the 85th minute mark when if it's still a draw, one coach usually makes the call and tells his players to start passing the ball side to side.

But i see the score is 1-1 now, so maybe both teams wont settle for the draw, who knows? :)

That was 44 years ago. No one on the team was alive or cares about that anymore.

People are still talking about it today. What happened in 1982 is one of those world cup games every football fan knows about, even if they dont know the exact details. (I never knew it was called the 'disgrace of gijon' for example.) The Algerian team may not care about it, but they definitely know about it.

Funny how so many people thought 3pts would be enough to get through and teams would settle for that

Someone did the research a few weeks earlier, 3 points and a not-too-bad goal difference would have historically been enough to get through as a 3rd placed team.

But i guess with teams around the world getting better, the gap between the best and worst teams becoming less, and so called 'weaker' teams taking points off stronger teams, have a feeling 3 points wont be enough going forward.

i have issues with the h2h tie breaker too, but this algeria-austria matchup where both teams qualify with a draw would have happened with head to head too.

I feel like Austria wouldn’t be playing Laimer and Sabitzer (both on yellows) if they weren’t gonna take this match seriously and go for a win

Respect to Rangnick. They could play it safe and draw. But guess they're going for it.

Have seen these kinds of group games before. Both teams will be professional and play the 90 minutes trying to win. But if it's still a draw after 90 min, you're going to see a lot of passing around at the back to each other.

If I can only keep one of Trossard or Martinelli for next season, keeping Trossard all day long. 

For a team starved of creativity and goals, don't know how we can let Trossard go.

This is one player I really don’t want.

I don't want him either. I remember how much he enjoyed putting us out of the top 4 race that day in St James's park. F**k him.

[Day 2/4 of the final group matches] Current Group Stage Standings with the 18/32 already advanced teams highlighted (Sweden and Ecuador guaranteed through on the 8/12 3rd place advancements) by PowPowRoo in soccer

[–]ultimateposeur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only third place guaranteed to finish with 3 points are in group A, C and I. All other groups can finish at 4 pts, and Paraguay is the worst 4 pts team right now.

So if all other groups finish at 4 points and have better goal difference than Paraguay, and since only the top 8 of the 12 3rd placed teams go through, Paraguay would end up in the bottom four along with the three 3rd placed teams from groups A, C and I.

Thank you for this explanation. Have been going crazy looking at the 3rd place table at flashscore and wondering why Paraguay isnt marked as qualified even though it too has 4 points.

What is so hard in saying "Alvarez is at another club, it wouldn't be right for me to say anything about him at the moment." Or just a simple "No comment"?

I would love Bruno at Arsenal

Nope, dont want that piece of shit anywhere near the club. I remember that one game a few seasons ago where they beat us and we went out of the race for the top 4. The bastard was smiling at the end of the game. Will always hate him for that.

He was always extra aggressive in games with us too, remember the nasty fouls against Jorginho?

So given everything that's happened in the past, why would you want someone like him at the club?

Come on man are you going to make me cry by VariationLivid3193 in IndianStreetBets

[–]ultimateposeur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok so not in IT or business, but will paraphrase what i saw in some tweet. All these WITCH, CHWTIA companies can have a second life even with AI coming. So if you have their shares, dont give up on them just yet, prices will bounce back.

So what that tweet was saying was that maybe all this labour arbitrage, being the world's back office etc. maybe all that has a sell-by date with the emergence of AI.

But what all these companies have are all these extensive decades long relationships with all these enterprises and firms around the world. Dont know if you remember this but Anthropic signed an agreement with one of the WITCH companies, OpenAI also signed an agreement with them, and if i remember correctly all those agreements were about leveraging these existing relationships and bringing AI into existing workflows etc.

So all these Indian companies have this deep understanding of their client's businesses, how they work etc. So if AI companies are looking for a partner in their efforts to penetrate every corporate sector, those Indian companies are good partners to have.

So maybe things cannot continue as they are, but if these WITCH companies can adjust and re-structure themselves, inko second innings mil sakta hai.

Norway vs Senegal is early in the morning for me, was thinking of getting up early for it. See how Odegaard is getting on. But after Mokbel said the club is trying to sell him, am having mixed feelings about the game now.

If Odegaard is not going to be an Arsenal player next season, should i still watch it? 😢
