Also, if he's never seen it before, I'd legit pay like $10 to watch a reaction video of him checking out Alien for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 well worked goal. Where was that against Argentina? Edit: and 1-1. Already shaping up to be another good 3rd place match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a match with minimal stakes, hence you get the most open style of play. It's already a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The only thing marring this game so far is FIFA having thrown another corrupted bone to Qatar by allowing their referee to conduct this match. The guy only refed the US-Wales match and he was dreadful. At least this match has no stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Clear penalty for Croatia. Can't believe that wasn't given. Gvardiol went down a bit theatrically but Amrabat clearly clipped his left foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs have been terrible in a lot of big games. Idk how people feel comfortable gambling on any sports tbh where the zebras can put their fingers on the scale or just be next level incompetent.

I stopped gambling when I was 20 or there abouts, not including a money FF league which is just a way some HS buddies and I stay in touch and it's only $50 a year. Lost just under $1,000 on one deal of blackjack playing multiple hands, splitting and doubling down and that was it. Every play was 18-20 and well, blackjack... Only time a dealer said sorry and I believed him. Anyways, gambling on sports is as natural as drug use and prostitution. You're never going to stop these vices, so why not tax and regulate them and try to make them as safe as you can within reason while using the revenues for education and healthcare? I really don't see an issue with people gambling on sports so long as there's integrity in the affair and there are support systems in place to help those who get addicted and go down a dark path.

Wilbur Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 How fantasy gambling and sports gambling in general is poised to turn Americans into degenerate gamblers. Also, most gambling is just a tax on the innumerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartofice Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 As sad as it sounds, I’d rather have Southgate, hard to think of anyone decent who is likely to replace him. I never want to go through the whole Capello style debacle again, or the Hodgson one! Better the devil you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’m not huge Southgate fan and this isn’t going to make me any more enthusiastic about watching England but he is good at some parts of the job and it’s not clear England have a better option available. Not a surprising choice from the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The question is why is England not producing good quality managers like Germany, Spain or Italy. When Gareth Southgate is your best English option, your options are shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
