@JamesMelville 40 teams, 8 groups of 5, 4 matches each, top two of each group into the round of 16

@paultoo Want to get to the front of the line? A donation to our political party won't hurt....

AI is so powerful and useful... but it provides a useful filter to see how lazy people can be. This map is something.

@BMcmahon @KLVsays Yes, just awesome that fans of Fulham, Leeds, Nottingham Forest never have the hope of winning a title.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@dannah__montana By ensuring that only 5 teams ever win titles?

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@DavidFellerath @mungowitz I think it's also because we are constantly told that not enjoying soccer makes you an idiot. It's possible to find it uninteresting. It's not a slight to the game. The same can be true of basketball, hockey, nfl, etc. Just let people enjoy it as a secondary sport.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

It does seem odd that it's sacrilegious to talk about changing rules, but the most fundamental part of the game changes for every single world cup.

[Luis Batalha @luismbat]

It’s funny that football has spent a century optimizing tactics, boots, VAR...

But we still keep experimenting so much with the geometry of the ball. How have we not found the ideal number of panels?

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@martindelp @DocLibertarian Are you making the argument that Uruguay just has genetically better football players?

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@CDonnick1 Just wait until game 70 next year, fire the coach, bring in Torts. Next-gen strategy.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

Pro Vegas tip... don't go to a concert at @fblasvegas if you can avoid it. Just an absolute parking disaster

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

I just wish @fblasvegas didn't suck do much

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@matdotar I keep hearing how Americans don't love futball enough, but now we also don't love opening ceremonies enough? Why on earth would a lover of the beautiful game care to come early to sit through this?

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@EppleySports @peanut_bettor Not hard, the ball needs to cross the goal line before time expires. This would come into play once in a few hundred matches. Meanwhile we're doing video review on every goal to see of the player's big toe was offside.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

Good news, once the world cup is over there will be zero reason to subscribe to that disaster

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

Did not think it was possible for there to be a worse app than @peacock but wow @foxone has really raised the bar

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@kipthekelly "Made without AI" will be the most meaningless label

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@charlesbogenio @hovinthenorth An artist walks through a museum, studies, ingests, processes, and creates a work that is inspired from this journey. Is that stealing?

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@AIandDesign Also, unless they just aren't going to movies at all, they almost certainly already have.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@EichelBetter I'm trying to imagine how people think an PWHL team in Vegas would be successful without connecting with the Golden Knights.

[Jon Nichols @JonNicholsMe]

@IanKennedyCK If they aren't going to link themselves to the Golden Knights, they are DOA, and they shouldn't bother with a Vegas team. There is no non-Knights hockey market in Vegas.
