@JasonThNightfly@chriswithans The time is kept by one person: the referee on the field. And the referee keeps track of when events on the field cause the game to stop (injuries, etc). By doing this the same rules apply to both professional games in stadiums as well as a local youth league.
@KaraJurk@AnthonyKyaw Women are slow & clumsy. I never used to say this but after the last 10 years and all the bullshit coming from USWNT and journalists (who aren’t fans of the sport) I don’t care anymore. We all know the men’s sport is vastly more developed and competitive.
@collinsworth55 IMO this is an attempt of American sports media to graft American sports culture onto soccer. Soccer performances aren’t nearly as well measured by stats. For example, a central defender can complete lots of easy lateral passes under almost no pressure if the other team lets him
@billybinion Look at the dude's profile, he's exactly what you'd expect (toxic delusional leftist who's almost certainly made lots of bad choices and refused to conform enough to just stick with boring but reasonably well-paying jobs/careers).
@CoreyWriting I *DO* think there is a genre of social media posting, and I've been seeing this on YouTube for years, where a foreigner will post their positive, often gushing takes and appreciation for "America", but it's all for clicks/attention/engagement.
@IntentOffsides@FOXSports@stuholden@USMNT It was the last minute of the game & Paraguay had given up. They were down 3-1 already and there was no hope.
But I agree it's dumb when soccer boosters in the US cite clips like this (similar clip is Landon Donovan's goal in the 2010 WC against Algeria, which was a tap-in)
@carajak@MattGlassman312@eyeformation Here's another example, all these passes are cited as something to behold, but to an American sports fan's eyes moving the ball around like this isn't impressive, and that makes sense, some things are only appreciated by those who really love a sport https://t.co/bB3iEJF4zT
@carajak@MattGlassman312@eyeformation Over 30 years ago the Simpson made fun of the sport, this is what it can appear like to Americans https://t.co/PyP1r7ixO6
@geonuine@jonkay The burden of playing on home soil? First time I’ve ever heard of this. Whatever burdens come with playing at home, it’s worse playing away.
@MichaelSLinden Didn’t SpaceX become successful by winning contracts? Wasn’t NASA previously paying a Russian company or the Russian government to launch things into space? And not just NASA contracts, but lots of other companies as well?
@bonchieredstate@BullyMaus Wow I just came across her on Doom Scroll (I usually can’t stomach it but I like Joshua Citarella, he seems intellectually honest) and I thought to myself “she’s gotta be some genre of brat” but didn’t take the time to look her up. https://t.co/AJ7yBUkWp6
