Hey Hey Let's Go! 喧嘩する
大切な物を protect my balls


Today is Friday and the 13th day of games for the FIFA World Cup of VAR.

It is also the last day of having to watch 4 soccer games in 1 day! Here are the charts stolen from Reddit on who can qualify!





Also can't not post this...

Fans of narratives and red cards watch Ghana-Uruguay. All week has been just interviews with the players who were there in 2010 saying 'no we haven't forgiven him and we're still salty about that handball' and Suarez saying 'it was cool and I enjoyed it actually'. It's going to be a bad tempered game and I'm ready for a proper grudge match

Otherwise not that interesting but would like Cameroon to go through

If there was a player I thought could be capable of doing the Eddie Guerrero 'hit the ground with a chair, throw the mangled chair to your opponent while the ref isn't looking and go down like you've been hit and get your opponent DQd' move on a football pitch it would be Suarez or possibly Sergio Ramos

Really enjoying listening to the matches while I work this world cup, though Ghana/Uruguay aside i'm not sure how today's matches can live up to excitement of the last couple of days for me, first as an Australian and then as a fan of trying to figure out group math on the fly

I heard a Suarez interview and he basically said he got his punishment (red card, penalty) and it's not his fault Gyan(?) missed.

He's got a point imo

e: like yeah he's a massive oval office on the wind-up but it is quite funny in this instance

Yeah to be clear Ghana were not cheated out of a win as they were awarded a penalty for the handball which they then missed, and then missed many subsequent penalties in the shootout. I wouldn't tell Jordan Ayew that though

I think suarez is a oval office for very many rasons, but every pro footballer would have done what he did. It was also not particularly unfair: he got sent off, suspended and ghana got a pen. It's not like when Henry tricked the ref by handballing and eliminating Ireland.

rugby union refs awards a try + points after outright for intentionally illegal actions that prevent a try

i prefer that but the united states are inexplicably poo poo at rugby despite a dearth of large, fast, and thoughtful universty men. (defeated by portugal on points difference in qualifying despite huge blowouts of hong kong and kenya, How were we supposed to know we had to destroy Kenya 85-0 to continue?)

Hennessey obviously can't hand ball what would have been the decider as a goalkeeper, but to me, mauling a passed attacker 40 yards away from an otherwise empty net is as egregious as a handball in the box.

Iran would have remembered it forever if they were knocked out on that lack of goal.

it actually stops the game from being an awful defensive slog, prevents injuries, and encourages fair play

Imagining some poo poo clogger getting hacked down when clean through on goal and the ref awarding a goal and the other team taking it to an FA tribunal because they don't believe that the striker would have been able to finish the chance

Defense is part of the beautiful game. Taking a card for the team is part of the beautiful game.

Last weekends action in the wonderfully fair sport of rugby union saw a player on the worlds best team sent off because he sent his shoulder, at speed, into the face of an opponent who couldn’t move his arms to defend himself.

Of course USA is terrible at Rugby. Anyone that shows the smallest bit of Rugby talent is going to play American Football instead.

If we treat the ball as a point object and model the players as cylinders, the game basically simulates itself.
