rus, here's one that always gets me and i thought i would ask you about it on here.  i think your take may be interesting.  did you know that fifa doesn't have a standard size field?

Law 1 – the field of play
Dimensions
The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line.

Length (touch line):
* minimum 90 m (100 yds)
* maximum 120 m (130 yds)

Width (goal line):
* minimum 45 m (50 yds)
* maximum 90 m (100 yds)

imagine if the nba/nfl had different court/field sizes at different stadiums

those should be the maximum numbers.  the field is way too large

Did you know Bolivia can't host official FIFA games because the elevation is too high and that one time their president played in a charity match and kneed a guy in the balls and that the Bolivian slang for balls is "dindirindongos"?
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

That is very worrying to see. Makes it seem like they are mailing it in and Ghana is going to win big.

Erroneous.  FIFA backed off for obvious reasons.

Ball kneeing sounds legit tho.

TODAY:



early games are easy: uruguay has to win or Italy advances, the other game doesn't matter so don't watch it

late games more complicated: cartier's Ivory Coast Cats need at least a draw and for japan to not unexpectedly beat colombia.  watch the icc, with one eye on the other game just in case

Man, has it been 7 years? I haven't covered Bolivia for a long time. Anyway, here's video of an actual president (who once chewed coca leaves at the UN) landing a hearty rodillazo right in the dindiringos of an opposing player:

i don't think Croatia will score on Ochoa.

they can barely get a shot off at him.

 :curse:

i mean, we stopped playing once it was 3-0, obviously.

What do you mean "we"?
