Didn’t notice the kid was latino, but I guess if you prefer he could work for the mafia and be called Decespugliatore. 

It’s funny now, but wait until that kid starts throwing axes working for the cartels as an assassin and becomes known as “Rebanador de Bolas”.

Yeah, was hoping for something like this myself:

Congress actually doing something good for common folks?  Damn, did all the planets align or something?

So...there’s a whole big catch to where exactly this aircraft was: the definition of airspace. By typical international standard the measure is 12 nautical miles from the shore of a country, however, in the past Iran has claimed the entire Strait of Hormuz belongs to them. Moreover, even if they stuck to the…

Personally, I think it’s unlikely that alien races capable of inter star system spae travel, if they exist, communicate with radio waves. Any sort of star system hopping species would need something much faster than radio waves to effectively communicate. Any species still in the “radio wave usage” era of life would…

I seem to recall there was some licensed music in the game, I’m guessing they didn’t want to keep paying for the licenses anymore.

Disbarment is already a consequence of this sort of thing.

So....let’s back up a second. To be clear the entire model is this:

Bankruptcy does nothing to get rid of government fines, so they’re still in a lot of trouble if they get hit with big fines (which they should).

I agree.  Change the rules if it’s now impossible for keepers to save a well-taken penalty kick (which it basically is).

Except it’s not encroachment until their actions actually matter; much like how with offsides you can stand offsides all day if you want, it’s not until you touch the ball that a call is made. If the keeper had stepped off her line and the shot went in, chances are good nothing would have been done.

As long as at least one foot is on the line, it is not encroachment, the box is not a “glass box” so to speak in these situations. In the first kick there was definite potential encroachment (more on that potential bit later)...but both teams did it and it wouldn’t have mattered as it just results in a retaken kick…

I have to admit, this isn’t often called, but with more and more VAR scrutiny, I expect to see it.  I think the rule needs to be changed, personally; either that or penalty kicks should be taken from further away.

I’ve come to a conclusion, you can’t really do a great X-Men movie. Hear me out. Yes, the first couple films were solidly “good” but they didn’t really get to the essence of what the X-Men are about, teamwork despite their differences, the fact that every member is important and the idea of a “found family”.  To do…

I’m shocked that this authoritarian oligarchy is using such corrupt tactics!  Shocked they haven’t put their boots on Hong Kong’s throat sooner.

To be clear, the rules state player encroachment is okay if the shot goes in. It’s only when the shot is deflected that you then call the offensive player encroachment. So...they did get it right. The larger issue is that, if the keeper has to stay on their line then really all penalty kicks will go in unless right at…

I mean, literally every former and current professional player was fine with it.  Only a handful of people that don’t know better (see: Rob Stone) actually gave a damn.  The Thailand team actually thanked the USWNT for not going easy on them.  If you want to blame someone, blame FIFA for expanding this tournament to…

It’s a World Cup.  If I scored a goal in the World Cup I’d have a 20 minutes parade down the midline.  You wanna blame someone?  Blame FIFA for expanding the tournament to 24 teams.

And again, I repeat, in Flint they still had lead mainlines.  This is a case where the city/county/state/feds did not replace lead mainlines!
