@JamesMelville Is that just by total decisions, or does it weight the decisions where a goal was rescinded heavier? Norway should be playing Argentina. You can't convince me that using VAR to call a shove that happened during the dead ball - rescinding a goal - is good for the game.
@thevivafrei needed a "boing!" or "bonk!" noise at the end, but pretty good :) We did hear that the gentleman was himself in good spirits and laughing directly afterward. I hope his recovery is going well, perhaps aided by his good sense of humor!
@ilysajna no, you're either in the way slightly or a tiny movement could cause a collision as i go by. You must be warned about my presence, but if I see that i can squeeze by without forcing you to move I will indicate that. Learn not to be a racist whiny bitch about it i guess?
@Timo_NFL the 2nd option is a legitimate option i hadn't thought of before, wouldn't the 1st option take haaland out too wide? haaland is too far behind when sorloth reaches the ball so he would have to hit it wide to keep it away. My thought was take 2 touches forward and shoot.
@MsMelChen it can be used to improve the game, but seriously that norway goal should have counted. There is shoving and bear hugging that goes oncalled on nearly every dead-ball play near the goalline. This use to bring back a goal for an uncalled foul from pre-corner-kick shoving is insane
@otf_rich_bwoy you're forgetting he has the option to shoot, and the defender cut off those other 3 pretty effectively, but failed to cut off the 4th, and that was the play. Try your hardest to get a pass off while taking a touch further to goal, no pass angle? take a wide open shot in the box.
@NoTechBen yeah, i almost turned the game right off after that. Had to watch to hope Norway came back. I don't know how interested I am in FIFA soccer anymore though. Might bow out now and be playing video games during the final
@JamesMelville i don't think these fouls were entirely equivalent, balogun's was borderline yellow/no card, quansah's was borderline red/yellow, but TWO GAMES!?! yeah trump would be making a phone call.
@tobyasky they get too far under the ball. you see him lean to the right to allow him to get his leg high enough to hit the proper angle. If you hit it too high, it will bounce into the ground, but you might still score so it's worth trying to err on that side rather that getting under it
@AviMayer don't you think he was just a stupid guy who got a tattoo that he doesn't know the meaning and history behind? Think back to your days at UMD, take a walk down to frat row and imagine the intellectual clarity and the wise decision-making that was occuring. THAT is Platner.
@kendrictonn isn't it supposed to say if it's 1, 2, or 3? I used to carry a radiation 1 soil gauge, but that was such a small worry that we didn't even have to put a sign on the outside of my car, just a rice-sized capsule of cesium and americium that was well shielded. This looks like 2 or 3
@EverythingRebs i think it's borderline between yellow and red. You have to be careful sliding in like that. The announcer mentions that he didn't clear the ball, that would change it if his hit was to make a clear instead of just gaining possesion for himself with a violent challenge
@NaomiSeibt this show was very good and the croud was pretty nice. I saw many people from different countries coming to help us celebrate. I'm glad you are here, Naomi! I hope you settle in well.
@Dopps_2026@HeidiBriones yeah, the main problem with this post is that there are a ton of soccer players and they all have personalities, but only Messi is the best at soccer
@harukaawake as an American I've wondered why we send the money even during financial crises when we should spend it at home. The thing that I've come to understand is that our economic situation is tenuous and the people in charge believe it relies on "soft power" cultivated in part by aid.
