@HammerAndRails The offsides is what keeps soccer from being absolutely awesome.

It’s impossible to defend this call. Impossible. Ref should be fired and investigated for corruption.

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the ���opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Matt Painter shares a masterclass on emotional control and why it's the difference between winning and losing.

"There are certain things you absolutely can't control."

"I ref our practices by myself and I never run. Think about how many times I'm out of position and I just guess. I always tell them that."

"They say, 'Coach, you missed this, you missed this.' I said, 'Learn to play the game. Move to the next play. Don't be emotional. That's what a real player does.'"

Learn how to focus better and master the next-play mentality.

Then he called out what went wrong:
"Emotional people in basketball and in business - they're not good decision makers. We got emotional there."

Frustration is understandable. Letting it control your decisions is a choice.
"Worry about what you can control. There are certain things we could control tonight that we didn't do a very good job of and it has nothing to do with actually playing the game."

"Very fortunate to learn a hard lesson and still win the game."

You have to be able to manage where you focus.

The refs aren't always right. The calls won't always go your way.

Control your emotions or they'll control you.

@dotsonc Wish I could say I remember it, unfortunately at the age of 5 I only remember game 4 of the WS, Which my Mom recorded and I watched a million times as a child. I do remember that being one of the big highlights of the CBS montage with the Glory theme. Brings a tear to your eye.
