@AnfieldIndex Americans use VAR and it works great. We have the "clear and obvious" test. If it's not a clearly obvious error, then the ref's call stands. A millimeter offside is no longer at issue.
Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event
Mientras el negocio del fútbol sigue creciendo a pasos agigantados, Telemundo decidió defender algo que cada vez parece más escaso: la esencia del juego. ⚽❤️
Durante la transmisión del partido entre Canadá 🇨🇦 y Bosnia 🇧🇦, uno de sus comentaristas lanzó un mensaje que no pasó desapercibido:
🗣️ “Somos una de las pocas cadenas en el mundo que NO muestra anuncios durante las pausas de hidratación de la Copa Mundial. Preferimos el estilo de la vieja escuela. Deberíamos poder ver lo que hacen los jugadores. Mostramos a los aficionados, a la gente disfrutando, no la dirección corporativa del fútbol”.
En una época donde cada segundo de transmisión parece estar en venta, la cadena estadounidense apuesta por mostrar lo que ocurre dentro y alrededor de la cancha.
George Washington Awarded Highest Scottish Honour as Traffic Cone Appears on Boston Statue's Head
With 10,000s of Scotland fans descending on Boston ahead of the World Cup, local authorities have reported the city's first officially recognised act of Scottish diplomacy.
USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.
I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.
In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.
"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.
"Honey, that's what it looks like."
The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."
I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.
I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.
It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.
"Well?" the waitress asked.
"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."
"Everybody does, hon."
Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.
Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.
I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.
It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.
Just to clarify: During the World Cup opening ceremony in Toronto, Canadians booed the American flag, not because they hate America, but because Trump has turned that flag into a symbol of hate & division.
The boos were directed at that fucking scumbag.
Big News this morning : The George Washington statue near Fenway Park in Boston has been given the Highest Honour By the 🏴 Scottish Fans. Someone has got up there God knows how and placed a traffic cone □on his heed. 😅🤣😂😂. This is a proud moment for 🏴 Scotland.

@GOP_is_Gutless@covie_93 Meanwhile your current government is stripping your freedoms by the day and turning you into a communist country. You're so dumb you don't even know you're dumb.
@NBCUTelemundo@TheDeskDotNet NBC you better get the rights to the next world cup because this is a shit show. I will literally pay for peacock to not have it be on Fox ever again.
