Seriously though, is it just me or does he seem like a deeply good person (who happens to have a terrible illness)? I don’t recall someone being so accountable. I hope he can find health and I hope he can feel all the love we fans have for him. I just adored him when I was a kid. He and strawberry and those other guys…

I’ve known plenty of addicts in my time. Many if not all have relapsed from time to time. It’s part of the deal really. But there’s been a few, man oh man they just can’t shake it, when they relapse they relapse HARD. It’s like a tornado hits them. It’s a whole different kind of addiction really. And in both cases the…

I hope the treatment helps save his life, make him healthy again, and cure his addiction to driving.

Holy shit, we get it, Deadspin hates this World Cup. Fuck man, I haven’t seen this concerted effort from a publication to ensure the world knows their opinion about something since The Ringer closed shop after GoT ended.*

This is incorrect. Some people have plenty of cash to burn.

I think part of the reason is their Twitter Handle is @USWNT.

Alright, I need some baseball “expert” to explain something to me here, probably so I can then yell at them for being stupid. What possible leg to pitchers have to stand on in this situation? Dietrich is standing in the batters box, he’s maybe a little closer to the plate than average? I watched and paused the clip of…

So much of their attack was just aimless crosses. Gauvin can get on the end of those from time to time, but Le Sommer is one of the shortest players on the pitch and such a cross heavy offense makes her irrelevant.

Just because you are in an offside position, as that player well behind the defense obviously is doesn’t mean offside will be called. You have to be in an offside position and either play the ball or in the ref’s opinion interfere with the play (block the goalie’s view etc). That player way offside obviously doesn’t…

The Cameroon player deep in English territory didn’t have any interaction with the subsequent play, and thus is not subject to being called offside. The player whose back foot is barely offside is the one who received the pass and sent it on to the would-be goalscorer.

....VAR review of the goal revealed that the Cameroonian player who made the pass to Nchout was about an inch offside....

That chain tho.

If you don’t understand the difference between ho-hum 4-0 blowouts with sloppy play and a once-in-a-lifetime 13-0 display, I don’t know what to tell you.

One thing they ought to do is stop fucking worrying about recreating the situation from last year. They’ve managed to make this A Thing that we’re all going to have to deal with for years.

Thats how it's done. +1 for the research

End the thread, we have a winner.

“I think, as a Canadian, we would just never ever think about doing something like that,” 

It’s the World Cup. Goal differential matters, especially in your opening match when you don’t know what will happen with the remainder of the group stage.

What are they supposed to do, dribble it around in their end? Dunno about you, but I’d walk right over and punch someone in the mouth for that. It’s not like a big college football program whipping a little one and having the option to play the roughly 300-ish walk ons on the sideline who haven’t been in a game since…

She got hung out to dry by her defense on a bunch of those.  She wasn’t great but everyone had a bad day on the Thai side.
