There’s not a linesman on god’s green earth that would have had the flag up for Colombia’s goal tonight or Iran’s goal last night

I think you could find a lot of rules in sports that if applied with laser precision would change the results of games and seeding.

It’s just weird that a sport can be so casual with so much of the technicalities and be so rigid about something like this

That was an awesome match

If the tension and the back and forth didn’t grab you, then yeah, you’re probably just not into it. Nothing wrong with that

I love soccer. Have played my whole life.

I don’t think the spirit of the offsides rule is that it should be measured with lasers down to the centimeter

I also don’t have a fair solution to offer and it seems like most people are fine with it, so I understand why it is the way it is. I just think it’s kinda stupid.

Does that put Belgium atop the group? I know Belgium & Egypt drew their match 1-1 & should now be even on GD

I think 1 more goal puts Belgium on top

Interesting scenario unfolding here

He’s dancing the dance and trying to distance himself from the orange shitshow

Time will tell if it resonates. Trump doesn’t like him and he steers the cult, so we’ll see how that goes

Trump got whooped by Biden and Kamala

Yet you voted for him

(See how silly that logic is?)

Vance is a walking gaffe whose entire term as VP so far has been a soul-selling humiliation ritual

Dude embarrasses himself constantly. He beat Walz in a debate because 90% of this board would have beaten Walz in a debate :lol:
