Keys Open Doors

And MR is meet record. So the fastest time ever run at the London Diamond League event

They are pacers hired to run a preset time

I followed the directions posted in this thread :lol: and went in knowing nothing besides the cast and the run time.

I enjoyed it but not as much as some of you. I think this could get a look at Best Adapted Screenplay and I’d look for Ed Norton as a best supporting actor nominee, but I would be surprised if it got too much more than that.

A fun film though, and there were lots of laughs in the first 30-40 minutes.

The one guy I know who is very into CrossFit is a 2.5 handicap in golf and played college baseball (though not major D-1).

I think it’s a popular competition outlet for people who have no logical league they can compete in after college.

Of course that applies to people in your example as well.

After college, there just isn’t a way to play competitive sports for most people.

Is “all options” code for a sternly written tweet and hundreds of school shooting comments from social media trolls?

Red cards weren’t overturned by phone calls from politicians.
Red calls were overturned by depositing millions of dollars into Sepp Blatter’s bank account.

Rvtrn to tradition!

Yeah that’s the biggest disconnect to me. You aren’t complaining that you earned or deserved some sort of foul or advantage in the game based on your play. Most people agree that the red card was an incorrect call. Certainly the procedure used was incorrect. And yet Belgium and the rest of the euros are mad that we aren’t being doubly punished for what everyone admits is a bad call. Again as far as actual on the field calls go the U.S. has objectively gotten the short end of the straw so far compared to the Euro teams. It’s like I’m taking crazy pills trying to understand their logic. It’s just anti-US soccer gatekeeping.

I almost fully agree with your post. When the US is on the side of a very bad call that hurts them, the attitude is “damn, that sucks bro. Let me buy you a round.” When the US is on the side of that call that benefits them in this context, it is an unprecedented travesty.

No one thinks this was an actual red card so the only argument is that a red card has never been overturned before within the tournament. This is such a goofy argument to me. If a bad call is made, it shouldn’t be overturned because of what, tradition?

I’m sure those lovers of tradition mourn the loss of wins being two points or goalkeepers being able to pick up back passes.

There are also elements of gate-keeping because hard-working losers or apathetic losers are far preferable to dangerous upstarts. There is also an international political angle at play. The furor would be less (but still present) if Obama had been the person involved instead of Trump, for example.

The only thing I disagree with you on. is that if this happened to a Euro power (or Argentina or Brazil), there wouldn’t be online furor. Or an apoplectic reaction from their opponent who thought they were getting a huge break.

Especially if it happened in the same context, i.e. a bad red
card on Vini Jr is overturned in a World Cup hosted in Brazil where a globally unpopular leader such as Jair Bolsanaro has cozied up to the FIFA president, won a dubious award, and then there are reports that Bolsanaro told the President to overturn the card.

It was an instant classic for sure

Almost all of the big name players are doing really well. This is often not the case, and it’d been a great story for this World Cup how the top stars are living up to the hype.

His arguments are also weak because Morocco didn’t play particularly dirty, none of their goals were controversial, and Canada didn’t suffer from controversial calls robbing them of goals.

Marsch is merely complaining that his own guys couldn’t convert their opportunities.

I thought it was safety concerns due to weather (lightning delays, etc). Was it something else?
