@The2RobbiesNBC They're certainly trying to put their name in that hat

@howie_hua Computer algebra systems and teachingg/learning with tools should happen earlier and feature more regularly in classrooms

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers @TeleFootball Would be curious to know the stats on how often a review took place where the onfield officials were correct to start. Compared to the times something big was overturned (red card, goal, etc.)

My 11 yo's teammate was fouled in a DOGSO situatn. Teen Ref called foul, jogged to coaches. They spoke briefly, then ref 🟡s the plyr for the foul. (parents' shock was mildly funny). Brilliant ref! Handled it great. Kids learned. What age is this a red? @ChristinaUnkel

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@Law5_TheRef We don't just need young people. We also need their parent(s). Would help with ref shortages and with understanding on sidelines as fans

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@footballtweet Ferdinand or JT. Pretty sure their career tackle success rate was at or above .75

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers Better with his feet and distribution. Going to end up as Arsenals #1

@saravdwerf I found Attned to precision gets taken literally by many, which can lead to thinking solely about precise with calculations instead of also considering language

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers Pretty sure he was supposed to do a lanky robot dance cele after this?!

[Derek @Dawilli6]

⚽️ Ref question- attacker dribbling along top of penalty area (outside) gets pushed by defender with shoulder, slightly from behind, making play on ball. Attacker gets shot on goal, but also a foul. Is the shot advantage? Or call foul also? #grassrootsfootball

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers May also mean there's clear communication between players and manager.

Or Ramsdale just geeks about massive saves

Or Ramsdale knows cameras will be on him

[Derek @Dawilli6]

I think it would be better to go without a wall when Messi (and others) is on a freekick than to have 4 or 5 plus one lying down. Let the keeper have a clear sight of the shot and have defenders to pick up scraps.
@MenInBlazers @The2RobbiesNBC thoughts?

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers "Wait, whose Beckham? That dude who hangs with Messi?"...

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@robbiemustoe Idk, but brilliant from Arteta and recruiting! Competition at all positions will make Aresenal stronger than last season

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@ChristinaUnkel Nothing like wind sprints through the middle third!
#refsareathletes

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@The2RobbiesNBC Does this count as the first managerial sacking of the season, or should we lump it in with last season?

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers @sammymewy @onamp Not a question. Girma is composed and played so smooth all tournament.

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@MenInBlazers Spite scoring is the best scoring

[Derek @Dawilli6]

@SheaSerrano Lloyd's 3rd in the 2015 WC final - she was totally unplayable that day - is by far the best goal. Chastain's winning pen in 99 also huge (but Scurry's save, though!!!)

On MNT, Bradley's goal against 🇲🇽 was cheeky. Duece hit 2 against 🇩🇪 in DC. No men's goal on lvl of above.

@JennSWhite I recommend the night splints too. I bought one over the counter from a drug store. VERY uncomfortable to wear and I've never made it all the way through a night with it on. But pain free after 5 weeks from the injury and counting when I wear it for as long as I can each night.
