Gakpo has had a hell of a year, his wife lost their baby just recently

That was just a release of emotion

Simply stop the clock when you deem time is being wasted on non playing issues

That’s what NCAA soccer does. Each half starts at 45 and counts down, when clock hits 0 it’s over. The ref signals to a clock operator during each half to pause for injuries, goal celebrations, VAR, etc

It’s the only level of soccer I’ve ever seen do that

US really gonna wind up with Senegal after all this

Why would the US, as a host, have to play the best 3rd place team?

We don't, we play one of the "8 best" third place teams but according a set of pre-determined criteria

Right now it's 99% that we play the Group B team, Bosnia. There are some combo of other results that could us the Group I or Group J teams

It doesn't really matter if Bosnia is the #1 ranked 3rd place team or the 8th, just that they are in Group B

I have no experience in this area, so maybe a dumb question, but how does a substance that sprays on and dries over concrete become a “lining” that can be cut with a razor blade? Does it dry and turn into a rubber like substance?

Pretty wild how red cards tilted that group

Bosnia was only down 1-0 until the 80th, then wound up losing 4-1

Canada was up 2-0 late first half, eventually with the 2 cards it wound up 6-0

I know today could have gone differently if the GD wasn't as lopsided, but it's possible without the cards Bosnia would be 2nd in the group and Canada 3rd

Do we know who the other less likely opponents are?

3I and 3J are the next 2 highest prob, so right now that's Senegal or Algeria

No, but highly probable

I bought a QM8K back around the Super Bowl, it's been great for the last 5 months and I have no regrets.

I've done a bunch of A/B testing with a Roku Ultra hooked up to it, and I will say that the Roku looks slightly better on the same picture settings than the native apps with Dolby Vision or HDR content, but honestly it's negligible and maybe my own bias.

The only real noticeable issue I find is the upscaling of "low quality" programming, older shows or things just in 720p. My Roku seems to handle that much better. Native YouTube app seems grainy and very soft, no matter how much I tweak the settings.

About to find out if the FOX app will do multi view when the games weren’t originally scheduled at the same time

Based on the bbc projections, we must get the lowest ranked team out of the possible ones

Depending on who occupies spot 8 in the 3rd place teams is who we keep getting matched up with in their app
