i’m shocked that a wealthy man from a country where the majority of men view women as property would treat a woman like this.  Absolutely shocked.

Evangelion is, I think, a difficult anime to like in the sense of enjoyment. I said this on another thread, but while I think Evangelion is vastly important and influential...it’s also not an anime I really have any desire to watch again.

Even better than all of that?  Stay out of the woods.

As a nerd who is ashamed to know this, I would point out that the age difference between Padme and Anakin in the Phantom Menace isn’t that big. Anakin is 9 and Padme is 14. Problem is that the actress, Natalie Portman, was 18 at the time and the actor, Jake Lloyd, was 9. So it seems odd, but in canon it makes sense. …

Exactly. Evangelion is a meandering, slog of pointless dialogue and dead end plot points intermixed with a few interesting mech fights. The ending makes very little sense and the entire time you just want to slap the s*** out of the main character. At the same time, it’s an interesting and important view into…

Against Rebanador de Bolas you are really more concerned about something in the front.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Remember everyone, don’t drink OJ, he’ll kill you!

+1 genocide :(

I mean...we don’t know that yet.  The game isn’t out, it’s a little difficult to judge it before it comes out.
