Yes, I understand how the World Cup works.

So, Mexico outplayed Germany overall in the group stage and that somehow makes them “lucky” to advance? Ok, got it.

Wait... so what you’re saying is that Germany was the favorite to win the group? And that Mexico wouldn’t have advanced if Germany beat South Korea? Wow you’re analysis is really blowing my dick off!

They’re lucky to advance, and probably should have gotten bounced from the group stage

The fact that US didn’t qualify over this trash Panama team is the saddest thing ever.

Really enjoying Lauren’s coverage of what has been a really fun, exciting World Cup!

It’s another shitty Billy post. Cliff notes of every single one of his articles: Messi good. Ronaldo bad. MLS very bad.

It is pretty clearly shows Ovechkin pulling him backwards then pushing him forward.

I truly wish Durant wasn’t on this team. They played beautiful basically before he got there and were still so plucky and underdoggy despite playing near supernova level. Durant makes them so boring and hateable.

This is untrue. Curry makes the Warriors go. They won a title without Durant and they’d win one again this year without him. I don’t think this Warriors team without Curry would beat the Rockets.

It sucks that Durant made these guys so unlikeable.

classy bunch

100% agree that we should ban all replay (although I don’t mind the limited challenges in tennis as there are a million points and the challenge takes two seconds.)

You get paid for this shit?

And that’s a bad thing? Colleges actually having to cover the costs of these students (kids) athletic endeavors — all in the name of the school remember. The NCAA already has a Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program and obviously the benefits program would have to be expanded, but it would still be a drop in the bucket…

Or just pay the players as student-employees for the hours they put in to their sports. It’s really not that hard. I made $9/hr serving food. The players could get $13/hr during sanctioned lifting, film study, practice, games, travel, etc.

Serious question here: Why does the NCAA exist and what do they actually do?

I think you misunderstood the question.

The solution to this is honestly pretty simple.

Protesting a speaker is an equally protected right.
