"People need to do their part, and my part is to tell other people to do their part on a niche part of the internet."

One shooter per Dallas PD. A well trained prick sniping from leverage, i.e. not among the protesters. By all accounts the rally went peacefully and was subsiding when the chaos began. Yet there are should-have-been-bedding-stains attributing these murders to the black community The black...

What do you mean by shit houses? I don't know about worst sides (plenty of sides early this decade beat them out), but I think the 83 point league season was product of a dynamic strike force, midfield cohesion, and important players staying fit. Overachievers compared to our recent trend of...

I think Bilo was one of the Liverpool fans hyping Ibe the least, to his credit. Would be a good signing. I've watched him a lot; he reminds me of Ryan Shawcross, and is a great fit for a side defending deep, or under siege. He's calm, strong in the air, aggressive, and a good passer, which...

Went on to be one of Pep Guardiola's first signings. A NON-EU signing to boot; Pep clearly was infatuated by all the laterals in his heat maps and pass charts. To be fair, the attack with Cesc, Rosicky, Hleb, Adebayor, RvP, and Eduardo was probably the best in the post Invincibles era. What a...

The season after Vieira left, Arsenal made the only Champions League final in their history, and nearly won despite being on 10 men for 75 minutes. Vieira wanted to leave; we thought he left for Real Madrid consecutive summers prior to this move. Transitioning from a core of Henry, Vieira...

De Gea's mistake against Croatia is the reason they had to play Italy in the first elimination game.

Shambolic defending from Kimmich. First the giveaway and then getting done by Pogba. Credit to France; Germany controlled the first half, but France have done exactly as needed in the second.

Very much. :conf:

Germany, chasing a goal, are now without two of the best center backs in the world at contributing to the attack in Hummels and Boateng.

I think both Giroud and Grizmann are better playing with another striker. Giroud needs someone to run onto his flicks and keep the line deep. Griezmann needs someone to create space for him to isolate defenders 1 v.1 and someone with whom he can play 1-2's. Maybe Kante for Sissoko? The German...

Agreed. Absolutely foolish from Schweinsteiger. Same as Boateng vs. Italy. Best half of football we've seen in awhile. Germany mostly in control, but France have had chances. Can needs to be off. He's offered little except runs from deep, and he's on a yellow. Weigl is better suited for...

To be fair, he did incredibly well just to get there.

Based more on logic than content—I won't pretend to be as well versed on this topic as you—I don't see how your (bolded) decisions on what to abide avoid hypocrisy. Where there is a divided spectrum, there are extremists with bigoted agendas. It isn't binary. You voted Leave, and have expressed...

Ramsey is/was structurally integral to this Welsh side: most ground covered, most touches, and the most created chances. He gets between the lines to open vertical options. He also wins tackles and finds scoring chances for himself. (I wish he fit well in a midfield featuring Özil.) Without him...

Losing Khedira and Gomez is unfortunate, but neither are near as important as Özil or Kroos. Reus (injured) and Volland (omitted) would have been interesting to see as false 9s. Moreso than Götze. Hopefully the last match was an aberration; I don't think the back 3 formation plays to the side's...

I'm gutted for Aaron Ramsey; the yellow card rules in these tournaments need to be altered, and because of them Wales are missing their best performer thus far. I hope/think we'll see a big Gareth Bale performance. Portugal haven't been convincing, but I don't think they've been as bad as I've...

The vast majority of economists I've seen quoted predict you will be getting worse trade deals. And it makes sense—why would you receive better deals when negotiating from a (relatively) weaker position and, at least for the short term, political/economic/etc. uncertainty?

I haven't set foot in the UK since 2011, and largely have followed Brexit from German and American sources. Can someone explain to me the benefits of leaving the EU? Preferably in the economic realm; we took our country back contains no logic or substance, not to mention the hypocrisy. A few...

He's not entirely shit, but he's not the right manager for the USA. I was at Germany 2006, and while Germany exceeded our expectations, catching us in the hysteria of his achievements, I think the team enthusiasm and motivation can be attributed to playing at home. He isn't without credit...
