@tingthingthinks@_callumfowler yeah that’s a good point. Flew under the radar for a while until Boelhy took over Chelsea and was able to inject almost £2 billion into the club with no FFP.
@raptalksk Not really a disaster class. Spain just had the tactics to outclass France. Basically the NBA finals where the Knicks (Spain) worked as a team and Spurs (France) relied too heavily on their individual players to make a difference
@LFCLaurie Ref was genuinely abysmal though. Letting Mexican players repeatedly get away with shoving and tackling and only gave 2 yellow cards. 1 during the hydration break another for a player yelling at an official.
@raptalksk legit, the government severely underfunds sports and the only commercialised one (cricket) had to seek private funding for players to thrive. shit really is a rat race over there so no one feels like they can commit to anything other than studies
@NoJusticeMTG@CurtisDaly_ most of the econ bros genuinely learnt basic supply and demand and nothing else so their entire understanding of it is “if more people want it the price goes up” it drives me crazy as someone who studied econ at uni.
@raptalksk Paraguay basically make it so Germany can’t play football by doing whatever they can to piss off german players but also their entire squad has minimal creativity
@SplattTheTwat@tigger_tim@fesshole tbf, there is some dodgy things around Irans World Cup run. Their captain and star player were detained multiple times, forced to play in the USA despite not being allowed to stay. And having to stay on the border and travel every match into the USA.
@solaire7083@MashiroZX_ I think when I did it as part of a festival playlist it was a road race. I vividly remember using the dark horse mustang for this turn
@gpork@LFCLaurie chinas still relatively early in terms of sports development. Being an athlete isn’t as popular of a life choice as it is in other countries.
@gamblingfever7 Idle transfiguration and copy? I mean imagine clones of you imbued with different cursed techniques and perfect synchronisation. That would be insane
@Ruperttheliste1@pulpy_fiction As someone who graduated from Kent, the main difference is network, facilities and staff. Every module had the exact same slides for Kent and Oxford plus the same recommended hours of study a week. I’m not saying I’m as smart as them but we did do the same work p much
@anon_opin also not to mention the insanely horrible environmental effects it’s having worldwide. There is nothing good about AI being so prevalent in society right now.
