Spot on about soccer

[Rich Lowry @RichLowry]

I know countless millions of people love soccer, and it can be a thrilling game, as we witnessed repeatedly during the World Cup, but it suffers from a fundamental structural flaw.

Because offense is in such short supply at this level, scoring is highly dependent on penalties.

This means that scoring often comes outside the normal flow of play, and incentives flopping and pretend injuries that are unworthy of grown men—you think someone rolling around the turf in agonizing pain is going to have to be transported immediately to the hospital, then you look up and he’s played another 45 minutes, no problem.

Then, there’s the courting of artificial penalties—a player steps in front of another, gets bumped, and proceeds to pretend he got shot.

Whatever the other merits of soccer, this stuff is a blight on the game and brings an element of low comedy to even the highest-stakes competition.

I am new to this type of competition, any of you have tips or tricks?

@KYHSHistory The Indiana players were not as talented as the Kentucky prep cagers on the team. U.S. Team won the 2nd game at Rupp.I attended the 1980 game at Freedom Hall. The NCAA limited the number of All-Star games.The series eventually lost out to the McDonalds game

@KYHSHistory I attended both games. They played again the following afternoon at Rupp Arena. Clark Kellog was the MVP in that contest. I remember the buzz around both games was Ralph Sampson signing with Kentucky. Sampson picked Virginia about a month later.

@JeffWallner England looked unusually gassed the last 10 minutes.

As Nathan Church comes to the plate, the witty organist here at Truist Park, @MKaminskiMusic, plays ...

"Bridal chorus." (Or, here comes the bride)
And then, "Pachelbel's Canon."

Church responds by going yard.

#stlcards lead, 4-1.

#OTD 1984 - In a game best remembered for Ryne Sandberg's two late-inning, game-tying home runs (Both off Bruce Sutter) - Willie McGee hits for the cycle and drives in 6 runs in Cardinals 12-11 loss in 11 innings to the Cubs.

June 5, 1986: The Celtics and Rockets brawl during Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Houston's Ralph Sampson and Boston's Jerry Sichting were ejected. Sampson was fined $5,000. Sichting, Dennis Johnson and Akeem Olajuwon were each fined $1,500, and 13 other players were fined $500 each.

Honda Motors just reported its first annual loss in nearly 70 years — directly caused by its heavy bet on electric vehicles.

If EVs were truly a superior product, nobody would need to subsidize them, force people into them, or penalize people who don't buy them.

When the iPhone came out nobody was forced to take one. Nobody subsidized it. People just WANTED it.

That's the difference between a real product and a government scam.
