Oh, yea, absolutely. You’ll typically only see it in absolute must-win situations, and even then only on set-pieces like corner kicks, not outright open play. When Germany did it, they were down 1-0 in the last minute of a game they had to win outright in order to avoid being knocked out of the tournament.

Unless he was an investor, it’s unlikey he lost money, and there were peripheral benefits as well:

Five candidates received significant votes in the general: Clinton (65.85mm), Trump (62.98mm), Johnson (4.49mm), Stein (1.46mm), and McMullin (732k). An additional 1.15mm were cast for other candidates: Bernie Sanders, Ronald Reagan, Bart Simpson, the voter’s own name, whatever.

Full disclosure: Did not vote in the primaries; hadn’t voted since 2008, but registered during the second debate and voted happily for Hillary in 2016.

i mean, soccer teams pull goalies in late game situations too. germany did it less than 10 days ago. other teams sit back an play defensive ball late in the game when leading, so as to protect a lead. japan chose not to do that and paid for it less than a week ago.

Around the final 100 meters, Kejelcha believed that he was tripped by Barega, so he pulled on his compatriot’s uniform, sending both of them to the ground.

no, that was clearly an oversight due to nike’s famously awful supply chain.

It’s a bit nitpicky, but the final s in “SEALs” is not capitalized. SEAL is an acronym, but the added s to pluralize the term is not a part of that acronym.

White people in the US are predominantly German. Like, nearly twice as many Germans as English. After that there’s the Irish, at about 150% as numerous as the English. Neither of those groups (that make up ~43% of white Americans) are likely to jump on an English bandwagon.

am i wrong in assuming most all-lives-matter folk aren’t soccer fans?

I’m admittedly not fully familiar with English / British history, so I can only speculate. But I suspect that it has to do with both who sat on the throne and the importance of nation states at the time the kingdoms merged.

RE: Playing: I’m not positive, but I presume it’s some combination of each of the three you mention, the same way it is for the rest of the world.

The United Kingdom: also not Great Britain.

Other people have explained that England is a separate entity from the other three “nations” in the United Kingdom (Wales, Scotland, No. Ireland). They’ve also explained that each nation has its own flag. What’s cool is that the Union Flag is a combination of most of those flags!

Did you miss this sentence?

I think you and the author of this post are in agreement, to be honest. I mean, you’re right! The biggest moment in Greedo’s life is the one we already saw, and to try to shoehorn in more “here’s what Greedo’s been up to!” filler is not much more than unnecessary navel-gazing fan service. Likewise any “HAVEN’T YOU…

i mean, yes, i prefer exercising outside as well.

you know you can exercise inside right

I’m sure there’s some language in the franchise agreement granting him an expansion team that basically says “you’re at the discretion of the commissioner as long as you’re an owner of a team, and any actions deemed damaging to the league will be met with fines.”

then why the “encourage them to play reckless football?”
