@ldtccg Provided with facts by whom? Who would pay for the investigation, and what authority would they operate under?

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@villi Any? There's 12 groups. Spain is leading one of them and has a decent shot of dropping to third and maybe even not progressing.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@ldtccg Jesus, angle shooting? What the hell is going on out there?

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@Traverse_Tavern Yeah, I've never understood why you have to play G1 blind unless you were fortunate enough to get information from someone else.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@Nive_the_Nerd Sorry, what's a birb, and what does a routine refer too?

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@C2Cbsbl Why wait?

@EJnJuice33 @Adamcopes He wants to be back in Tennessee so bad.

@BaseballGuyRyan @GiantHotTakes I just said I don't think Devers is right in this case. But imagine how high the level of frustration must be with Vitello in the clubhouse for him to react like that.

@roywoodjr Zlatan is always a must-see TV. 🤣

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@EldridgeIsKing Because that's not the mentality that gets you to that level nor keeps you there. Give him some credit. Players are in a very rare position that, once lost, is often impossible to regain. I'll never believe that they don't care.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@PJarvis1818 @dyecaster @RealManSports Yeah, I know it's offside vs offsides. I was trying to keep it simple for you. The word isn't the important part, the concept is.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@FPLOlympian Tradeoffs, man. The alternative was to give two loss teams the chance to advance with a lopsided win, which in an expanded tournament field, could have been a disaster.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@GoonerTaIk That's a pretty hyperbolic take when your argument boils down to giving two loss teams a chance to advance.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@BocaEnLaCopa Ok, so give us the argument for letting a team with two losses in group play advance to the knockout round.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@PJarvis1818 @dyecaster @RealManSports It's not only the same concept, the rule has the same name in both sports. If you're on the wrong side of the line when the ball is kicked/snapped, you're offside.

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@GoatMo_ No, they did, and they decided that no team with two losses should advance. Do you disagree?

[Paul @pdeffenbaugh]

@Belac412_ Yeah, I'd be into that.
