@ettingermentum Even so you take this deal 100 times out of 100 if you’re the Maine dems

@AlexiLalas Lots of cities (and small towns) have public-subsidized rec leagues and the red tide of socialism remains at bay. This is not the own you think it is, fields are not free but they are cheaper than you’d think.

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@OrinocoBlow @Liv_Agar @LucyKwiatek Still a win as history records, and as the vast majority of people here will feel. Further, it never should have been a red. It’s categorically not cheating to correct a mistake.

@nikicaga You project strength rather than weakness. Generally in sporting competitions that’s what you want to do

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@ettingermentum We’re all gonna watch the game this evening and cheer for our boys - All of our boys. You have the choice to do so, or to be miserable by choice. If we must win as the villains, then so be it.

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@ettingermentum There is winning, and that’s if we get more goals than Belgium. Trumps corruption has hurt us so much over the last decade, we deserve a turn where it helps us instead.

@dilanesper Would likely be like “aw shucks, we’ll kick his ass too.”

@SportsGuyJeremy As it is I’d argue it’s around 8-10 in the world. Maybe that’s the sweet spot.

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@dilanesper Other countries bring the vuvuzelas, the cheering sections with marching bands, Haka, etc. our cultural asset is having the worlds finest lawyers. Shame to not be able to use them

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@dilanesper Why do they suck? It would help us here, and I’m not sure I agree with you that process and lawyers are inherently bad (then again I’m a defense attorney so I struggle with red cards and ejections generally). Due process is a good thing when there are stakes!

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@dilanesper You need to recognize that you’re on an island here.

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@theoceanblooms @Missy_dee811 Thing is, if it’s a borderline call that could have gone either way, the broader picture (potentially affecting the results of the cup and spitting in the host nation’s face) should have meant it was a yellow

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@theoceanblooms Some people did argue that

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@NoGoodTweetz @mikejpagan @_Zeets That’s a fair perspective, generally, with sport. I come from baseball, where fan grousing does tend to (eventually) produce rule changes, most of which end up being popular when all is said and done

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@NoGoodTweetz @mikejpagan @_Zeets Could also make the suspension only take effect after minute 70.

@dilanesper Ultimately the World Cup is a TV show/concert, put on by FIFA which is at the end of the day an entertainment business. It was a poor decision, assuming their priority is to grow their product in the US, to award this card if you had any way to avoid it. They did

[Eliot Sands @Eliotsanders]

@dilanesper I mean we do the same thing (and Brits/prem fans grouse about soft reds internally, too)
