So (putting it in the message because it's a World Cup spoiler...) - Dano Nov 21, 13:18 3
- In all likelihood. However England’s last game is against Wales. And if England have already qualified, they’ll give their buddies an easy ride. -- nm - Loyola Nov 21, 13:26
- Yup. -- nm - znufrii Nov 21, 13:20
- Yeah probably. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 13:19
tomorrow the work team I am part of is going to a local animal shelter to volunteer. a couple of the team members have been looking at the site - tRuMaN Nov 21, 13:10 11
- Now, is the company going to allow you to bring your pup to work? Have dogwalk breaks ? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 13:48
- Don't do it. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 13:30
- get a kitty!!!! -- nm - judge amanda jones Nov 21, 13:22
- That’s a bad idea. Ours is only half and they need love and a place to roam. -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 13:18 2
  - do I know that you have a dog? (I thought we were friends!!!) -- nm - judge amanda jones Nov 21, 13:32 1
    - We have two! (and two cats) - spamlet Nov 21, 13:34
- absolutely not. even if you have a fence, they are notorious climbers. they will back talk you non stop. and are super needy. - Epiphany Nov 21, 13:17 3
  - again: kitty time! -- nm - judge amanda jones Nov 21, 13:31
  - Just look at r/huskytantrums at that’s all you’ll need to know. -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 13:18 1
    - oh I am aware of that. not gonna adopt now if I was going to with my busy season about to start in a month. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 21, 13:19
- I love them, but yeah, huskies need attention or they’ll wreck up your joint. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 13:13
Wondering to myself about my playlist: "I like this track, but I can't remember where it's from..." second time through: it clicks. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 21, 13:01 [youtube] 1
- Living your best life. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 13:03
soccer needs to introduce a rule that play keeps going when someone goes down. 75% of these "injuries" are fake bullshit -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 12:53 15
- A penalty should be made anytime the magic spray is used for an injury and the player is back up within 30 seconds -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 21, 13:09 3
  - That’s exactly the point of the spray though -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 21, 13:16 1
    - But its obvious that too many players use it as a way to try and get a free kick or draw a penalty. Their antics take away from the game. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 21, 13:23
  - I mean usually it's a cramp and that's a literal freezing/numbing spray. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 13:15
- Completely agree. And they need refs who didn’t learn how to ref in Outer Mongolia. - Loyola Nov 21, 13:07 1
  - perhaps Inner Mongolia? -- nm - budice Nov 21, 13:08
- Well, Pulisic went down and play continues so there's that -- nm - JD Nov 21, 12:58 4
  - Play don’t stop there unless it’s a head injury. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 12:59 3
    - Or a foul or the ball goes out of play. - znufrii Nov 21, 13:00 2
      - Indeed. Was just a timely way to point out that playing on isn't unusual -- nm - JD Nov 21, 13:03 1
        
        Sure, but play the advantage. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 13:11
- Clock management man. Like spiking the ball or taking a knee. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 12:57
- it is known. -- nm - mud Nov 21, 12:54
- that rub and 30 second break healed my broken leg! It's a miracle!! -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 12:53 1
  - or at the very least if you go down you are OUT for a minimum of 1/2 the half. so at least 22.5 minutes per "injury" -- nm* - Beaker Nov 21, 12:55
9 added minutes. -- nm - LMS Nov 21, 12:51 2
- who adds 9 mins? -- nm - budice Nov 21, 12:55 1
  - The referee. -- nm - znufrii Nov 21, 12:56
that was a sweet pass -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 12:49
In case you're wondering (I know you are), the answer is no. None of the Welsh players currently play for AFC Wrexham. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 12:48 5
- if they had to dip into the 5th tier, they wouldn't be at the WC. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 12:52 4
  - Yeah, it’s not like they’re AFC. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 13:16
  - Well, one does play for Swindon Town, which is 4th tier. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 12:58 2
    - ha ha, you were fact-checking Reagen -- nm - mud Nov 21, 13:00 1
      - Meh. He's still right. They didn't have to dip that far. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 13:02

- The football community hates Ted Lasso! -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 12:45
- I just turned it on but that a Pen all day long. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 12:41 9
  - The one bright spot for Wales is the PK result. US outplayed them otherwise -- nm - budice Nov 21, 12:44 2
    - US dominated the first half. Wales has come back well in the second. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 12:47 1
      - Did Michael Sheen give the half time talk? -- nm - LMS Nov 21, 12:48
  - He was dying to give a peno all game. -- nm - Loyola Nov 21, 12:42 5
    - Then don’t give him an easy reason to do so. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 12:43 4
      - how is that not a penalty? -- nm - mud Nov 21, 12:44 3
        
        It assuredly was. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 13:12
        
        I think he agrees with you (is easy penalty call) -- nm* - budice Nov 21, 12:45 1
        
        yeah, I was being rhetorical-like -- nm - mud Nov 21, 12:47

Fun fact: America’s goal scorer is the son of the best player to never play in a World Cup who also happens to be the current president of Liberia. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 12:29 2
- The best plater to never play in a World Cup is obviously George Best -- nm - Roger More Nov 21, 12:58 1
  - or maybe Alfredo Di Stefano. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 13:29
I believe I am some sort of hummingbird. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 21, 12:22 2

Red haired dude for USA is good. -- nm - Loyola Nov 21, 11:58
Is the match not on network? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 11:47 9
- You can watch it on Fox.com with their "preview pass" (i.e. no login required) for 1 hour. They're at halftime now. -- (link) - Mop Nov 21, 11:51
- I'm pretty sure it's on Fox, no? -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 11:48 7
  - My antenna isn’t getting it… -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 11:49 6
    - World Cup is pretty far away, Will. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 11:56
    - Tangentially related: My FireTV recorded the Bears game on a FOX affiliate that I had hidden from the guide because it isn't the Chicago one - oblique Nov 21, 11:51 2
      - Are you picking up Rockford from where you're at? -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 12:23 1
        
        I wouldn't expect it since it is the opposite direction of the antenna but this FOX was 6.1 which I think is Milwaukee so anything goes I guess -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 12:30
    - Are you getting Fox, they're just not showing the game? -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 11:50 1
      - Found it. This channel lineup goes from 115 to 1153 and then network is in a totally different location. Stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 21, 11:56
This may be the last time Wales identify as “Wales” at a major tournament. - Loyola Nov 21, 11:44 13
- Oddly, the pronunciation is the same. -- nm - Dano Nov 21, 12:27

        “How come we came to come ree?” - Loyola Nov 21, 12:10
        
        Pronunciation videos on YT are a lie. But also, so is my guess. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 12:08
- Sponsored by: Kyndryl -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 11:55 1

  - I'm 14% Cymru thanks to my great-grandmother Sarah. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 21, 11:59

- how's GrammarBitch doin'? -- nm - mud Nov 21, 11:46 6
  - maybe it's Beth444 -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 21, 11:49 5
    - 445, right? not 444? -- nm - judge amanda jones Nov 21, 11:51 4
      - 444, 445. whatever it takes -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 21, 11:52 3

  - Are you calling Randy Newman a liar? -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 21, 11:51
- He fired all the engineers as the authentication system is down. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 11:37 8
  - Not the auth system, the email recovery system - because email is a cesspool -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 11:44 4
    - Yeah, it's not working (ISPs block the emails) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 11:56 3
      - This also means that signup is broken. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 12:19 2
        
        and all this time, we just thought that there was limited interest to join ST. Turns out one couldn't join ST ;-) -- nm - JD Nov 21, 12:29 1
        
        Maintaining a worthwhile email score is an exercise in madness... up until recently it did work, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 12:50
  - "I'm not an engineer, man!" -- nm - Strongbad Nov 21, 11:42
  - this is why we need blue check verification -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 21, 11:38 1
    - Orange you glad we don’t have avatars? -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 11:44
