England are the best team in the world and will win easily 5-0.

I will watch. It's black Friday though so I will be making a huge sacrifice for board culture missing out on a new flat screen

Clearly some Kate Bush stuff happening in this music vid. One of 2020's better music essays—on crushing, Catholicism, the role of fantasy. https://artificialdevotional.substack.com/p/on-caroline-polachek-carly-rae-jepsen While listening to Pang, I spent a lot of time considering desire in the...

If England do the US by 4 or so and Wales beat England (highly unlikely) my Mum might back off about supporting any Heathen results

Could be a turning point for world cup fraud and participation. How FIFA still operates with impunity is staggering

Football is gnosis, not at the same level of gnosis as rugby but money, bureaucracy, bribes, labour pittance for a country and a huge carbon footprint illustrates how and why Fifa shields off said gnosis. Obvious moan target, bit like when the queen died and you just wanted to see key games

[IdleRich]

Here we fucking go

 

[IdleRich]

Or maybe not... bit of a damp squib so far.

 

[sus]

So they just play and play like this and the most likely outcome is a draw?

 

[IdleRich]

I want to say no... but yes.

 

[IdleRich]

Or it's a possible outcome at least.

 

[sufi]

zzz i had a good snooze actually

defintely confirming all american prejudices this game. yes, it usually is this boring im afraid. to be a true english sport connesuir you have to embrace boredom. cricket, darts, snooker, football, we watch to be exquisitely bored. and to drink

 

[IdleRich]

The sort of performance I thought they'd put behind them.

What's striking about international football/soccer in contrast to hockey, basketball and US/Canadian football is the imprecision of time keeping. In hockey, basketball and US/Canadian football, the officials stop the clock when the ball or puck goes out of bounds, when a player is injured, when a penalty is called or, in the case of hockey and football, when a goal is scored, and then start it again when play resumes. whereas soccer lets the clock run during all those situations and tacks on an approximation of that time at the end. instead of adding an exact equivalent -- let's say, 4:36 -- they add a full four or five minutes, and play rarely seems to end exactly when the clock hits zero. We're super anal about it, accustomed to every second being documented, and there are plenty of games that are decided in the final few seconds.

Yeah the ref can actually let them play on if he thinks there is gonna be a goal instead of blowing up. I think.

that seems crazy, when you think about it. when time runs out, it should be game over, right?

Yes I had the same thought. They adjust down to tenths of a second in basketball. Football (American) has also seemed loose to me in the past but I'm not really familiar with that system
