Atlatls are amazingly effective force multipliers. I would assume they’re really tough to master, or they’d have been much more widely used in the pre-gunpowder world.

Yeah, same here. Aside from soccer and ice hockey I don’t follow any Olympic sports.
That might not be good enough if, say, everyone else is throwing 210'.
I think they have to have their legs and body moving to generate sufficient power because the velocity of the thrower would be transferred to the thrown object. Drag on a javelin can’t be very significant either, so every little bit of velocity helps.
Watching Portugal win this tournament was like having really bad sex for way too long and not being able to finish.
Not for a few centuries.
It’s meant to be a “guard of honor” in order to show respect to the vanquished. It may not always work that way in practice though.
I will never understand why Clattenburg is so highly regarded. He is not as good as the best Refs in Europe, yet he gets the CL final and the Euro final in the same year.
Wales without Ramsey are not that great. Add in the fact that Bale wasn’t very good in that game and Portugal’s accomplishment seems a little less impressive.
The head to head record disagrees with your assessment. USMNT 2-2-2 all time against Portugal 1-0-1 in World Cup play.
USMNT haven’t lost to Portugal in a game that matters, only in friendlies. Record is 2-2-2 overall.
You must have tons of medals!
It’s okay, I forgive her.
I don’t think McManaman is capable of liking a team that plays without a true striker 90% of the time.
He neatly interfered like a hockey dad too, going into the French technical area to push his teammate back onto the pitch.
Aside from breaking someone’s legs, this is the most Pepe thing he could have done today.
I’m judging based on collecting parts of other people. which is fairly weird.
I’d faint if I saw Terry Pratchett too.
I’ve actually never seen that show ( I don’t watch much TV ), but that image is a perfect analogue for the mental image I have of the weird ass people who’d collect blood.
Well, that seems like the sort of person that would happen to.
