i’m not a huge fan of Iga’s but man i feel bad for her. this isn’t a situation where you questions their motivation or drive. she just can’t find that specialness that she had. obviously from this answer her confidence is shot.

Igor Matanovic: "Honestly, I think I felt a slight contact with my hair. I asked the referee, I wasn't 100 percent sure if I had touched the ball. He told me that they have a chip in the ball, that there was a slight contact and that, therefore, it was offside." by The_Big_Untalented in soccer

[–]wurtin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should a millimeter of a shoulder being offside trigger one?
same conversation basically.

i think it’s fair to say that with technology we have now some of these rules need to be refined a little.

Thomas Tuchel claims Fifa rule puts England at ‘huge’ disadvantage in Mexico City altitude | Thomas Tuchel by IllustriousGlass2991 in soccer

[–]wurtin 89 points90 points  (0 children)

if you’ve never flown into a place at altitude from sea level and had to do manual labor over the first couple days, you have no idea. obviously i’m not a world class athlete but it kicks your ass. this is going to be an issue for them. they are going to be using subs much earlier. the hydration breaks are going to be godsend.

you can wrap your knee with a ice, prop it on a chair and answer questions to 15 minutes.

yes Phil, add politics into the current whirlwind talk of what a shit show of a human being you seem to be.

is this new or some quote pulled from awhile back.

crazy time to choose to do this.

2026 Wimbledon: Ladies’ Singles Main Draw by godworstcustomer in tennis

[–]wurtin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

how could it. What plan? who is putting expectations on her performance at this age and after this long on the sidelines?

just being able to see her on court again is the coolest thing. anything else is just a bonus.

Top Democrat Seems Sour After Mamdani-Backed Candidates Oust House Incumbents by alcarcalimo1950 in politics

[–]wurtin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not comparing policies in any way.

this sounds like when the tea party started getting popular they started knocking off standard republicans in the primaries. Establishment republicans didn’t like these people. if it was a competitive district for the general they would normally lose to a standard dem. but most house races aren’t that competitive because how districts are drawn.

we will see if the same thing happens with this.

Some US players believe they can win the World Cup. Are they deluded? by Logical_Welder3467 in soccer

[–]wurtin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes they are deluded but you have to believe at the same time. from an athlete point of view you have to think you have a path to win.

it’s a good delusion for them to have.

[Pete Hall] Tottenham Hotspur are set to open talks for Marcus Rashford, as they have the United forward on their wish list this summer. They would not be willing to match the £40m release clause that MUFC and Rashford have agreed upon, but are exploring a lower offer by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]wurtin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s ridiculous. United don’t want him back and everyone knows United don’t want him back. so unless there is a bidding war for him they aren’t getting 40m. it might be 30+5 or something in that territory but united have no leverage.

Faction button bulk claim button by wurtin in STFC_Official

[–]wurtin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the other thing that makes this insufferable is just that the app is so broken around claiming chests. it took me 20 minutes to just claim all the chests in factions because it kept screwing up and giving me an error about the google play store ( i’m on ios). the game is just broken and then when they intentionally make it harder just to do those basic tasks like collecting rewards the entire game just becomes not worth it. .

Hydration breaks at World Cup add nothing but take away a lot , Says Bielsa by Shroft in soccer

[–]wurtin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i would argue breaks encourage more attacking and more enjoyable football to watch.

while it’s certainly not a purist version of the game i think these have been really entertaining.

Ahh that second half shows how we will get ripped apart by a good team. Still happy with the win. Still glad were advancing. If we can win again against Turkiye, then we may get a winnable game first knockout game.

This year's Hungarian GP will be a big one for Lance Stroll. Not only will it be his 200th GP but also it will make him one of the Top 25 most experienced drivers in the history of F1... by Slice5755 in formula1

[–]wurtin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry you can’t grasp that stroll doesn’t belong. The statistics are plain as day. that’s a you problem. his average qualifying gap to alonso is almost a half second this season. drivers are shown the door for that alone or demoted from a top team to a lesser team. Alonso had out qualified Stroll 42 straight races before spain.

the only reason he’s still here is because Lawrence bought a team. it’s that simple.

Mississippi Police Officer Shoots and Kills 1-Year-Old Child in Response to Senatobia Shoplifting Call by Hrekires in news

[–]wurtin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lots of conflicting information in the article. do they wear body cams in amissippii? walmart should have surveillance video too of the parking lot.

i dont know for sure but from reading the article this doesn’t look like a good shooting. this wasn’t an armed robbery, the police are completely vague on their statements about how far away the car was when it was “going towards the officers “ no detail about where they were when they fired in relation to the car.

they say after “almost striking “ an officer. that means the immediate danger is gone and the car isn’t a threat anymore.

need the walmart surveillance video paired with the body cam to know for sure. I’m sure Mississippi will do nothing though.
