  1. Carbon offsetting is BS anyway, mother nature can't be bought off with money. It might ease the mind a bit, but it is akin to buying pardons off the church in ages gone by. The way I see it: our very existence is nature-unfriendly. The only thing we can do, is to try and limit the damage we do. And that needs to be done structurally. One event every few years is a drop in the ocean. Regulating that to feck is mere cosmetics. If you want to seriously combat activities that heavily damage the environment, you need to think in terms of forbidding flying for things that could be done over the internet or partaking in things that are heavily polluting on a daily basis (cruise ships, shipping cheap but useless (and in themselves environmentally damaging) products from Asia to Europe/US), commuting to jobs that could be done at home. Buying stuff online that feed a need to deliver them, parcel by parcel, to individual addresses. I'd even go so far as looking at limiting 'innovation' for certain products. The amount of waste and resource usage so that many people if not basically all of them can buy a new mobile phone every year (or two) and tossing their still perfectly working one in a drawer (and in the bin a few years later) is absurd, really. There is no need for that. Also: manufacturers need to be held responsible for their products. First of all they need to be durable (none of this planned obsolenscence/shoddy products that break soon) and they need to be held responsible for their products. If an electric scooter they produce ends up in a canal in Amsterdam, they pay the costs for cleaning up. They make money from it and should not glibly be able to wash their hands of it, knowing full well that this sort of thing happens. If that makes the product economically unfeasible, then so be it. If we are going to try and undo the damage, it will have to hurt.
  2. To be fair, many teams would have broken their teeth on this Morrocan defense. It was a joy to see (and that's not something I say often, being a fan of attacking football): no matter where or what Spanish player got the ball in the attacking half, they always, always had at least two opponents in their face. Lots of times one of them being Amrabat. Don't know if they did give him one, but for me he played for a 10 yesterday. They actively denied Spain opportunities for the full 120 minutes. No luck involved. Doubt they can do it again though.
  3. FFS, why that asshole? Just when you think you can't hate him more...
  4. Spain with lots of little fouls. Ref should start wagging his finger by now.
  5. Zooming in on The Ankle This is getting as hysterical as The Metatarsal back when ^^
  6. Let's say the ball went so fast that it doesn't matter if the ball wasn't visible for the goalie ^^ VAR definitely had mercy there.
  7. No yellow there is scandalous Damn, my stream is ages behind
  8. C'mon Senegal! Not that I hate England*, but underdogs and all that. *only some of their fans But I think the sensational surprises part of this WC is over.
