The second penalty was not a trip, it was studs into the side of Lavelle’s leg. That’s why it was a penalty.

Fat, rich white guy comes up with yet another lame explanation for something. If paying only California student athletes would make things “unfair,” then pay them all. I’m sure they could start by divvying up part of this dude’s wealth without any problems.

I didn’t see the first penalty, but calling the second one “soft-ass” is a bit misleading. The Spanish defender put studs into the side of Lavelle’s right leg. Now it may have only amounted to a scrape or scratch on the leg, but having been on the receiving end of those before, they still hurt and it is a studs up…

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s Deadspin as a whole, but it is definitely certain journalists on Deadspin. I’ve found that every site has both good reporters (like Kotaku’s Jason Schrier) and bad reporters (like Deadspin’s Albert Burneko).

No system that relies on human judgement will ever be perfect. VAR will make some bad calls sometimes. However, VAR gets a lot more right than it does wrong. I’ve been watching the Women’s World Cup and the Euro U-21 competition and VAR has been pretty darn good throughout both, including the prevention of a penalty…

I don’t really like remakes of games. I think games are made a certain way for a reason, and even games that are older and have 2D or early 3D graphics still have their charm. I’m always down for a good remaster though, and now that Final Fantasy VIII has been confirmed, I would love to see Silent Hill for the PS1 get…

“But for it to be cut so short—it’s fucked.”

Well, after watching the way Cameroon played against England today, this article did not age well.

I haven’t owned a portable console since my Game Boy Color, but I remember playing a lot of DuckTales and Pokémon Yellow as a kid.

I’m actually wondering if Gabe even watched the game. His take speaks way too highly of Australia and not enough for Norway.

Were we watching the same game? I felt like it was Norway who were controlling the game and had the better composure. Australia just looked... off.

I’m torn on FFV. It has so many good things about it, but it also has some big flaws. I returned to it a couple of months ago and ultimately felt like my nostalgia was too strong from when I first played it back in 1999/2000 on PS1. On a semi-related note, I was also very disappointed when I found out that the main…

When “keeping it real” goes wrong.

This has definitely been stewing for a while...

So... Europe + USA to advance then? No real surprises there.

So happy to see Brandon Clarke land in Memphis. He and Ja Morant should be a lot of fun to watch.

I never played VTMB but I’ve been watching a lot of Let’s Plays recently and it has gotten me so excited for VTMB2. I really hope they knock it out of the park.

Dipsy-doo, whoopsie-too!

Make it Red Robin instead of Applebee’s and I’m in.
