@IaqDiesel @NateSilver538 Also a fair point

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@IaqDiesel @NateSilver538 I disagree because the own goal was much more forced here.

@HenryBushnell I never understood one key part of the story. Berhalter told him before the tournament started that he wasn't going to get much playing time. Why would a coach do that? Injuries, red cards. Anything can happen. Everyone has to be ready to play. Never understood that part.

@sgevans Landon Donovan complains a lot, but he has some very strange ideas about soccer

@Timodc Don’t think the Irish qualify as limeys, although given the history of the term it’s kind of an interesting question

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

It feels naive to say, but a civilian massacre of this scale did not used to be treated by US officials as the normal cost of waging war.

@robertwrighter @mattyglesias @HBendaas Seems more like it’s the fault of the people who tore up the JCPOA

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@samstein I think the problem is also that he’s such a dork. Why is he in that room?

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@steambo85208529 @msriannbakes This. Precisely this.

@jim_tworontoe @BagleyKSLsports That whole final series should be discussed more. Ridiculous teams on both sides in a best of three

@mattyglesias Martin Van Buren's native language was Dutch.

@cabsav456 Don’t vote for republicans

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@3four3 Eric *wynalda is not very bright

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@hannahgais They were kind of the definition of a lack of imagination

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@davidsess The Republican avant garde…. I mean cmon ffs.

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@iheartruf @danishacarterr What the republican party has become doesn’t have anything approximating a coherent political project. They don’t have a coherent ideology other than trying to troll liberals. Its definition by incoherent opposition which doesn’t really work

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@kevinmorrison84 @JerichoJackson7 @Rory_Talks_Ball But that’s not what happened here. This wasn’t two players grabbing each other on a corner. There was one distinct foul and then another distinct foul. You can’t just ignore that. It can’t be that once advantage is given in your favor you’re free to commit a foul on the defender

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@henrywinter So the ref should be free to ignore the rules based on vibes? You can’t be serious.

[Rick Smith @Rick___Smith]

@RunkeGlenn @MarkOgden_ So much criticism of var is “let’s just not apply the rules sometimes”
