  1. Dude, we are getting drilled this morning by China. What is going on?
  2. Yeah, this tournament field is just dumb, both in the tiny size of the field and the distribution of teams. There are legit maybe 5 teams that can win this of the 12. Expand it to 16, throw in a few more Euro teams and you probably have a far better tournament.
  3. Watching the highlights of this game, the goals and the calls - I gotta say this is one of those games that gets you talking about "the fix." The OG that started the comeback, the free kick through the hands, the phantom penalty. Lots of Hmmmmm calls.
  4. I was looking at the standings - the women's side is still very much open, with no one yet eliminated. The big one is Canada who sit at 0 points after being docked 6 for their coach spying on other teams. They have one of the easier roads to the KO stage: They need 2 things: Win against New Zealand And 1 of the following teams must lose: Colombia (v France) France (v Colombia) Germany (v Zambia) Australia (v United States) Japan (v Nigeria) Brazil (v Spain) A Colombia or France loss would send Canada through as the #2 team in their group, while the other 4 teams would send them through as a 3rd place team. The big thing for Canada is that unlike other teams at 0 or 3 points, their GD is great and ideally should beat anyone in a H2H matchup for seeding.
  5. I left a team out - Colombia, they also can lose to advance Canada. And they play France! Seriously - if I were those two I would get together and say "draw and we're good." Some serious Gijon action.
  6. Australia. Actually their path is wide open if you get down to it: The first thing they need to do is win And then one of the follow: France loses - they are 2nd in their group Germany loses Australia loses Japan loses Brazil loses Any of the last 4 will give them a 3rd place birth.
  7. I will say I didn’t watch a lot of the game, but the parts I did watch, Zambia was very dedicated on their defensive efforts. I saw 2 or 3 clearances on the line by back line defenders and a defense that was setup to give the US fits. I know we expected more than 3-0, but I thought they worked their tails off to make sure 3-0 was all we got. And now to be beating Australia, impressive.
  8. Now they are punishing the federation, meaning they are cutting funding of things like youth soccer!
  9. The funny thing is that he’s right, just not in the way he thinks. The problem is that so many people have perverted religion into something that is pushing people away in droves. Funny how a message of hate does that. The people that aren’t standing up are the ones that actually understand what Jesus’s message was and it was love and inclusion. But people who believe in that are silenced and shunned from the community. In favor on people who don’t have an ounce of real Christian values in their body.
  10. Because outside of Tesla, most of his companies are private. So that takes SpaceX, Neuralink, etc off the table because he doesn’t have to answer to anyone. That leaves Tesla, and we got the answer to that in the lawsuit. That board gets way too much money being in the orbit of Musk to ever vote against him. Pure and simple. Beyond that, Tesla stock exists in meme stock territory. Their valuation makes no sense in any sort of real market performance. His actions might be hurting car sales, but their stock price doesn’t move because of that, so he can keep talking.
  11. I would love someone to find all 12 artistic acts and post them. I’m not shocked that NBC didn’t show them, just annoyed.
  12. Best Opening Ceremony ever, because no slaves were hurt in the making of the production.
  13. Oh NOW she can't talk. Fuck, why didn't they open with Celine?
  14. This was going to be my guess right now.
  15. They still have to get past the park! They have a long LONG way to go whatever they do.
  16. That barely scratches the surface
  17. Well given that it's going back up the river - they are lighting the cauldron at the Stadium.
  18. You don't think they are going to use the Eifel Tower to be the Cauldon, do you?
  19. It's Paris, you just pee where you stand.
