  1. How a grown adult of any country or culture cares about "royalty" in this day and age escapes me.
  2. That's what the Russkies get for allowing the patent on their weather machine to expire.
  3. So this kicks off tonight with the Fighting Naps hosting the Former Herdmen at 7 p.m. Central on FS1.
  4. I like Nikola Jokic. Would like to think he's better than the reputation of his countrymen. His brothers ... probably not so much.
  5. At the risk of being on my high horse, it's worth noting that this phrase has been deprecated. The preferred term these days is "The Land of Sweat and B.O."
  6. Gotta say, VAR has been dead on this tournament. And timely. Also, this tournament has been excellent overall so far, imo. First few matches were routs but many entertaining ones since. And gobs of goals.
  7. Not sure what to make of the video. Law enforcement can enter private property without a warrant if there are "exigent circumstances," e.g., they see a crime in progress. Was there enough to technically meet that standard here? Maybe, maybe not, but that probably became moot once the citizen admitted he didn't own the place and refused to give his name or provide ID. Any reviewing authority is going to consider that suspicious and endorse the officer's decision to enter. Both parties seemed unnecessarily entrenched. As someone else noted, the citizen shouldn't have answered the door. And as another posted shared, most any business owner would appreciate the cop's actions.
  8. I'd take anyone over the idiotically pretentious Derek Rae.
  9. I'm curious--if that shot had somehow been stopped, do you think a PK would've been awarded after VAR? I ask because the defender who got nutmegged on the shot also touched the ball with his hand as it went between his legs. Only the very slightest of touches but still ...
  10. Holy shit. Most unexpected.
  11. Gotta be honest here, Nap: I don't see that working for you. I figure a chronic masturbator such as yourself will find a way to power on through, ads or stream blockers notwithstanding. Probably a side effect of trying to watch scrambled Skinemax as a kid. I'm rooting for you, though!
  12. LoL damnit. Saw that coming a mile off. Czechia just so exposed on that left side.
  13. Cynical referees are best referees.
  14. Not sure if anything can raise that, but Turkey's second golazo of the day is at least a "call."
  15. Here's the gamewinner (NSIAP):
  16. A header, slightly blocked, catches the post. So unlucky! And then Turkey notches an empty-netted third. Been a while since I've seen a group play match this riveting from end to end, start to finish. Standing O to both sides.
  17. This match is nuts.
  18. You just described half of the battlegrounds on the Eastern Front in WW2.
  19. Wow, what a save! EDIT: Eh, kind of right at the keeper on replay. But still ...
  20. @NorthLoop's wife comes over that often?
  21. Too unselfish from Turkiye there. And to be fair, Georgia's score was quite handsome. Not in the same class as Turkey's, but still a world-class goal. And EDIT: OMG, Georgia with nearly a second equalizer that bounces off the crossbar. What the fuck is going on here? What a match!
