@slmandel "So video review can just overturn a 99 yard fumble return for a TD simply because the original ball carrier's knee hit the ground before the ball came out?"

[David Lively @RealDaveLively]

@alch3my101 @SamENole The analogy is having a 99 yard fumble recovery for a TD called back because the runner was down at the 1 before the ball came out.

@tomace030 @4ourmanrush Not the same thing

All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands.

That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA.

This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage.
Wrong angle to see what really happened.

Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering.

The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul.

The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection.

If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun.

The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned".

Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not.

The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball.

I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere.

I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history.

They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close.

So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.

@Atlantaholic69 @elsathora Nah, she got it right

[David Lively @RealDaveLively]

@Nicocantor1 You may have just started following the sport, but red cards can be appealed in most of the top flight leagues. Many leagues (EPL, for example) can penalize you for a frivolous appeal, so your player could actually have the ban increased if you're abusing the system.

@atlutdfantv Why do you say update when there is no update?

[David Lively @RealDaveLively]

@JuneAppleseed @scotus_wire This ruling won't help. Flock isn't using data you have collected on yourself. It's capturing it's own data on you and others, in public. There will be ways to limit what is admissible via Flock, but this ruling won't help one way or the other.

@Proximo_Gen @panthersbran Ron Rivera??

@conorsen It sounds like it's working as intended. They'll likely have to make some combo of cuts and a request for a > 3% tax bump. It's hard to argue that it's not an effective way to rein in spending.

@TheeBlaackLamb @ChicagoBears @EAMaddenNFL @CALEBcsw Larry Fitzgerald, if you count shared cover.

Calvin Johnson, if you only count single player appearance.

@XennialLaw @atlurbanist The core strategy is 100% private (David Cummings, et al). Public funds (TAD, municipal bonds, etc.) are strictly reserved for public realm upgrades, utilities, and to meet city required affordable housing requirements.

@JoePatrick The worst part about sucking this bad is that fans end up longing for irrelevant mediocrity. We shouldn't be happy with where we are, but we also were right to be unsatisfied with that ineptitude.

@atlurbanist This section of the beltline highlights some of the biggest engineering hurdles for the rail plan. Short of CSX selling Hulsey Yard, there's no way for rail to connect to the Eastside Trail by traveling north of Memorial like pictured here.

@VladTheInflator They clearly don't need to move. They're just fishing.

[David Lively @RealDaveLively]

@dalford08 @MylkTV So you're saying you have a "come fly with me" zone?

@theblessedsalt In no relevant interpretation of Just War Theory do you have to surrender sovereignty to an aggressor because your weapon is disproportionately dangerous. Nevermind that this is not disproportionate, as it passively uses the attacker's energy against them.

@DaShawnWSOC9 @wsoctv That’s not a record. Between 1988 and 1997, the Hornets sold out 364 consecutive games, including multiple full seasons. Since the NBA officially returned the original franchise history to Charlotte in 2014, those statistics still stand.
