Dominating when? They had two real chances and scored on them both. Honda’s brilliant, swerving free kick late on was about their only other real go at the net.

Right after the wondergoal from Inui, I said to the guys next to me in the office Belgium was going to win the match. They’d controlled the whole match and were just to big and technically strong for Japan to hold off. After the fluky Vertonghen header, they were rolling.

“That’s what pisses me off,” he said. “He doesn’t have enough balls to call me back, because I’ve tried to get in touch with him.”

Signs to Golden State for one year and plays for the minimum. They go 98-0. Basketball Knowers and Take Havers die of mass, collective stroke.

You can’t judge women on their looks for forever, judge another man on his looks for five minutes, and claim ‘see, that’s equality’.

Well, ugly guys who attain some power/money enjoy being cruel to women (no matter the women look like). This is no exception.

His equality gag at the end was the best part.

I demand VAR do an on-field re-examination of every yellow card given (and not given), with players and coaches from both teams hounding the officials to get it right.

Hasn’t this website (that I read and comment on way too much, especially for football) published at least two articles about the dumb fair play rule, prior to today? So, why wouldn’t I know the rule existed?

I can’t decide if my hatred for Jameis Winston is rational or irrational.

I just assumed people weren’t stupid enough to think I was referring to ‘fair play’ as the first tiebreaker.

Is that better or worse than a referee in one match deciding to book or not book a player, while another referee might see it differently?

Jesus Christ people. I’m aware those other tiebreakers were exhausted. FFS...

This is so stupid. Presumably this has been discussed elsewhere on Deadspin, but why would something subjective (a referee’s awarding of yellow cards) determine who should go through?

I’ll play. You’re sure I believe what?

I’m referring to the political left and the political right. Not your everyday lefty anarchist.

Well played. But that’s definitely what I remember about Rivaldo’s career.

Unpopular opinion coming....

but there are plenty of (mostly?) decent people out there who are not educated enough in the particulars of most issues to be able to articulate an actual position. Calling them a bunch of morons isn’t going to ingratiate them into the camp

Phil looks like he’s on a mission. Just focused and balling. Love it.
