I know what you mean. I hate that they don't let every team in the world play in the World Cup. Stupid qualifying.
They do play in the World Cup. Qualification is part of the tournament. You're thinking of the World Cup finals. Common mistake.

There are lots of champions that get autobids. Like Manchester City, Barcelona, Ajax, Juventus, etc. Not sure how you missed that. Do you guys follow soccer?

Bitter Huck is fun. Don't worry, buddy. You'll win it some day.
Meh, probably not. I'm not very good at soccer, especially these days.

Gotcha...so you dont have a valid opinion that will help uefa make more $ like they want..you want to limit the pool of teams so city can finally win one
My opinion is pretty valid. I mean the name of the competition is Champions League. And they let non-champions in. Seems weird.

Who will go in England and France under your scenario when titles are vacated due to Ponzi scheme accounting?
This year it would just be Leicester. They've won a title since the Premier League started, you probably didn't notice.

Let's put it this way: My hate for Oklahoma is well known. So is my love for Texas. If I had to choose between living in Oklahoma and living in College Station, well, let's be honest. I would kill myself.

Yup....screw that auto qualification
You want in finish top 4 or win Europa
I dont see any reason to mess with the perfection that is CL
Only thing i would give them is if they wanted to eliminate all draws after assigning groups...could do it like WC were winner group A plays runner up of group B
Sets the bracket right at start and wont have fixed draw rumblingsHow about only Champions get into the Champions League?
Qualification should require winning your domestic league in one of the last four seasons.

On the MLK stuff, I agree that the FBI from that time can't be trusted. Especially based on a single investigator's note.
Also, funny that in that article blurb they tried to throw in "group sex" as some kind of awful deal. We obviously need more details than that. Him and multiple girls? Devil's threesome? My judgment depends on these missing facts.

Brazilians telling others to get up is always amusing. To be fair, though, the men are way worse.
Good match though. Aussies came to play.
I don't know about that. The entire world was rooting for a dominant United States team (think about that) as time wound down against Brazil in 2011. And that wasn't for anything from before the match, it was purely about the Brazilian women's delay tactics during the match. The Rapinoe-to-Wambach header was cheered by everyone specifically because of how annoying the Brazilians were being.

Gaine went to high school with CJ Nitkowski.
I had no idea what else to post on this thread as it could go a million different directions so I went with a random factoid.

Nevertheless, merely using a number to show experience (or lack thereof) is as nuanced as using raw statistics (total yards allowed, passing yards per game allowed, etc.) to determine whether a defense is a success or a failure. Dig a little deeper into the numbers...
...
With Hassan Ridgeway playing a portion of the year at less than 100 percent, further depleting an inexperienced defensive line, those Longhorns set a school record for the most total yards per game allowed (452.6), they accounted for the third-worst rushing defense in program history (219.2 yards per game allowed), the 30.3 points per game they allowed is also No. 3 on the school’s season-season list for futility and they currently rank No. 7 in the most yards per play allowed in one season (5.6).
Nice. The author couldn't even pay attention to his own example for two paragraphs.

Gotta tell you, I was born and raised (reared for you old school Grammar Nazis) in Austin and the intercity rivalry thing never even occurred to me until I moved to the Houston area and was beaten over the head with the Dallas thing. I guess I got a taste of it on message boards once those became a thing, but I had no negative opinion about any other Texas city growing up.

The nazis thoroughly co-opted the church in Germany. The institutions of faith went all-in on Nazi-ism.
And that's just the stuff mentioned in Bonhoeffer's wiki page. The church in Germany did EXACTLY what the evangelical "Christian" movement is doing here. I mean, EXACTLY. Full-on idolatry and fealty to a regime, adopting the rhetoric and aims of the regime as the aims of the church (instead of vice-versa), etc.
We have a metric fuckton of Falwells.
We need more Bonhoeffers.

There are unfortunately a large number of people in every religion whose true core belief actually comes down to "we're better than the others." That also applies to the irreligious, for the record. It's human nature. Us versus them. And when people in positions of political power give relevance to those thoughts it can accelerate quickly.

Can we talk about “polite” Canadians booing an injured player? I feel like that country has been pulling a fast one on the rest of the world for decades now. Secretly they are a bunch shitty devils.

any balance carried. Once the deposit is made, it's forgotten about and the card is treated like a normal credit card.
And it's not treated like a debit card, as the deposit isn't reduced unless the customer defaults. Then there's some mechanism to seize the deposit.
Okay, so Amazon is targeting credit poor people and giving them the chance to give Amazon $500 for the right to be charged 28% interest?
Sounds awesome.
-
28% interest on what? If the cardholder already had the money in the bank and it's really just a debit card then exactly what in the fuck are they charging interest on?

Then celebrate your being a moron.
I do that daily, no need to encourage me.
I mean, nothing like your performance on this thread, but still.
Evidence provided showing that Democrats voted to fund this issue while Republicans refused to fund it because the tax cut hadn't been taken care of. Any intelligent human being realizes that in this particular case, this means that Republicans voted not to fund the 9/11 first responders fund until people got their taxes reduced. This, in effect, was a vote that said 9/11 first responders can't get their medical expenses taken care of until the wealthy get their money. Nobody in the thread denies that sometimes politicians from both sides do stupid shit, but on the topic of this thread, it is excessively clear to anyone with two brains cells that occasionally bump into each other that the GOP is the one that held up the funding.

Exactly. A person updating their beliefs based on 15 years of data and experience isn't inherently a bad thing.

Jesus. Ball still hadn't been touched by a fielder when Pence scored. That's ridiculous.

While not as unhinged, I agree with Lobo's general take. We fought a war so we didn't have to give a shit about the royal family so I just chuckle at all the starstruck American celebrity idolizers who actually pay attention to them.
