  1. "Qatar won't benefit from the World Cup" is one of the oddest, least rooted-in-reality takes I've ever seen on here.
  2. Goalkeepers in shootouts are the real difference makers, if both goalkeepers are pretty poor at saving penalties then it pretty much is a lottery because pressure makes people make mistakes. As soon as one of the keepers is a good penalty saver the pressure on one team ramps right up and not only does having a keeper more likely to save one come into play, but the extra pressure causes worse and worse penalties. If Rashford's penalty in the Euros is a couple of inches to the right instead of hitting the post then the pressure on Saka and Sancho is way less and their chances of scoring go right up.
  3. If there's some sensible feature in a product that cost money and only has human welfare benefits it's a pretty safe bet that there was some controversy or argument over it at some point.
  4. I think they're all pretty literal and mean the same thing right? They're just reverse chronological repetitions of the same argument (someone partakes in something they aren't entirely happy about because society makes it really hard to avoid, vocalises that issue and then gets shot down by the man in the orange shirt for hypocrisy). The car one specifically is just about the hoo-har around car safety in the 40's/50's I think.
  5. He's spot on though, your argument is literally this meme # Don't be the guy in the orange shirt Rebs
  6. I haven't missed it though, although I should say I 'boycotted' the World Cup because I didn't want to be involved with it on a personal level rather than as some kind of sacrificial act. Whatever incidental power (almost nothing, tbf) it has is because I'm not going to show up on the viewing figures or have been counted watching any of the adverts etc. and how good or bad the football is really doesn't really change that. I've missed loads of great football over the years, I'm sure I'll miss a lot more (especially stuff that doesn't involve Angel Di Maria scoring/winning ). If anything it's been a useful experience. It was leaked today, on the day of the final, that one of the Glazers met with the Saudi/Qatari governments about a sale of Man Utd and I've spent the last month and a half slowly becoming more and more certain that if that does happen I could just walk away from it all and it wouldn't leave some big blank hole in my life that I'd struggle to fill. I've realised my love for football isn't totally unconditional, and I'm slowly starting to think that's healthy.
  7. One can, many do. I'm not supporting a club owned by a sportswashing state with a terrible human rights record though.
  8. And yeah, they are ****ing awful. You know it, I know it, we all know it. The existence of something worse doesn't make them "not so bad".
  9. Find me a single time I've ever said I'd rather have the club in the hands of a state rather than the Glazers. In fact I've said the opposite multiple times on here.
  10. 0/64, I hope I get to watch a few more PL games before Man Utd is bought by the Qatari's and football is ruined forever.
  11. I don't think you need to I've had absolutely zero pangs to watch it this year. The final could have been the second half of Space Jam for all it matters.
