Palestinian goalkeeper Saleem Al-Ashqar was shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza. Married just five months ago, he leaves behind a wife expecting their first child. The Palestinian Football Association says more than 1,000 Palestinian athletes have been killed since October 2023.
No joke, this is why Americans havent completely bought into soccer.
My Achilles would literally have to be stuck on the bottom of this dudes cleat for me to carry on like that.
This joker got the call, stood up, and played the rest of the match. And Balogun gets the rest of this match, and the next, a win or go home off the pitch.
Clown stuff
Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.
Whats strange about soccer: It employs absurd mathematical precision to police offsides, a rule that mostly matters in spirit rather than in strict application. (You just don't want cherrypicking) But its extremely casual about timekeeping, whose literal application matters a ton
Jeff Teague says he thinks De'Aaron Fox has got so much disrespect that it’s hindered his game:
“Like how aggressive he is. Because if you look at him, what he was 8 for 12? 20 points. You could tell he taking his foot off the gas a little bit and letting other people do things. And that’s cool. I’ve been there before as an NBA player. You hear the noise, the outside noise, and. It affects you a little bit. Like you just want to do enough so people get off like it wasn’t me. You know what I mean? Like sh*t and to be the person and player that we know he can be like he was one of the best 4th quarter players in the NBA for years.”

Avec cet angle de caméra on voit tout de même que, mettons de côté l'inattention ou non de Castle : faire une passe vers l'avant à un mec ligne de touche avec un défenseur juste sur lui c'était un très mauvais choix.
Même si Castle regarde et capte la balle, ça finit peut être en faute offensive de Castle qui direct s'empalle sur Brunson, ou qui est enfermé ligne de touche sur le côté (alors que 7s à jouer à peine).
Castle ou pas, le choix n'est pas bon. C'est pas comme si Wemby voulait lancer plein centre du terrain Catle qui n'a aucun défenseur autour de lui
Wemby now has 5 signature NBA Finals Choke moments
Game 1
- side of the backboard
- top of the backboard
- dribble off his foot
Game 2
- turnover pass
- missed the last shot of the game
This is what I want from my best player.
Fuck shooting percentages.
Fuck all the analytics.
Give me the ball and let me decide the game.
You got some superstars who only take good shots (KD) and some who pass the buck to their role player opponents (you know who).
