4:38 Moharrami’s reaction right after Bočkaj scores.

And now even Gorica is finding its footing, while Varazdin and Slaven have been trouble for a long time now.☕ Okay, sure, Osijek and Rijeka have massive budgets behind them.

Everything else is just a drop in the bucket.

😁

No one has ever orchestrated a turnaround quite like what the Red Sox are pulling on the Yankees! We're looking at a total meltdown in the making here.

This story has aged beautifully. 😁

The second I saw that headline, I knew the Red Sox were going to choke in the next round.

fadedhound86 said:Yeah, I really think they made a mistake by letting Valdasa go... it just doesn't feel right

Honestly, firing Valdas just sent the whole Red Sox organization back five years.

I’ve been using their B-Free savings account, and honestly, it’s a solid setup. You can transfer portions of your funds over to a checking account at a different bank whenever you feel like it, and they don't hit you with any fees. It’s perfect if you want to set money aside but still need the flexibility to "borrow" from yourself when things get tight without having to shut down the whole savings plan.

I haven't really noticed any other banks offering anything quite like it... So far, I’ve checked out Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, but nothing seems to match up.

Video:

And for good measure, a description of the legendary Amigo, copied and pasted from football icons (where else would I get it...... ☕ )

"Fernando (like Magellan discovering a path to India) went for the ball, cut slightly to his right—which for our guy Pletikos was left). He leaned onto his right shoulder, lunged left, using all that height and width, and then it was like "late night jazz": Baiano just tapped the ball and it started crawling toward the net. Like a snail. Don Fernando pulled off a trick I've never seen before; he chased the ball, people, he actually chased it, following it like a bocce player follows an idea. Slow, slow. The ball crawls, Baiano crawls, and Pletikos, who's practically glued to the goalpost, realizes it's not over yet. And because of him, the drama turns into tragedy. It's like an old Greek play where even the gods catch their breath. A Split resident turns around, thinking: "Wait, I can save this..." He rises, spins, and dives for the bottom right corner, and look, he's already reached the ball... will he grab it with his fingertips, will he...? No, he won't. It crosses the line anyway. Just barely: over the line! The goal of all goals."

No more questions..? Thanks a lot!...

Keep it steady.. ☕☕☕

I remember that passage. From Football Magazine originally, if I recall correctly. He wrote that it was the goal that "saved football."

For some reason, a lot of people have convinced themselves that Ronaldinho scored that penalty.

Curacao is moving on to the quarterfinals! 🙏 🙏 They clawed back a draw against Jamaica in the 93rd minute just to stay alive, then sat back and watched El Salvador get absolutely dismantled by Honduras (0:4), which handed them the ticket through.

I honestly don't understand why they don't schedule the final round matches at the exact same time...

vividraven26 said:I mean, you could go ahead and tell yourself the stars are cruising through space on jet engines if it makes you feel better, but we all know that’s just plain wrong. If this stuff is actually accurate, then fine, sure, you can look at it that way, but if someone didn't bother to write it correctly, then they’re just looking for trouble elsewhere.
It’s like how some guy stumbling down a sidewalk in downtown Chicago, absolutely wasted, could suddenly be charged with attempted murder just because he might accidentally bump into someone, right?

Sure, technically. But he’d have to work a hell of a lot harder to actually kill anyone.

When I say we’re looking at attempted murder, I’m not getting hung up on the technical legal jargon or what some prosecutor would file in court. It’s strictly my own interpretation of what it means to get behind the wheel while drunk. I get the sense you all understand that already, yet there's this persistent urge to correct me.

Driving drunk is basically just picking up a shotgun and firing blindly into a crowd; if you hit someone, well, you hit them. To me, there isn't much of a distinction between that and premeditated murder.

I’m all for implementing zero tolerance for drunk drivers—we should be looking at immediate, permanent license revocations.

Anyone who might just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

cosmicpuma84 said:Look, there’s a massive difference between someone hitting a 0.5 BAC because they made some reckless, stupid decision behind the wheel, and someone who’s actually a regular drinker—someone who might just have one too many and suddenly finds themselves spiraling toward a 0.5% level... it can happen to anyone, really. I know women who have one single beer and they're already stumbling around like they don't even know where they are.
I wasn't looking for any "brilliant" critiques here—just wanted to hear from people who actually understand how these situations play out in the real world...

If you actually care about "smart" criticism, maybe try thinking for two seconds before you attempt to kill someone. Driving with a 0.15% BAC isn't an accident; it's attempted murder. The fact that you're used to driving like that is genuinely terrifying.

The way you use slang to downplay it just shows how little this matters to you. It isn't a game. People are dying because of people like you.

I don't quite get it. If Good Friday is supposed to be such a massive deal, why isn't it actually a federal holiday? Most of those other minor religious observances get nothing, yet we still work through it. Honestly, I wouldn't complain if we just had a four-day weekend instead.

In Portugal, they were playing Spain in the semifinals and got hit by a last-second shot that sent them straight into overtime. After surviving two grueling overtime periods, they actually managed to pull through to the final.

Noah Ross7 said:Ridiculous nation. They swear so much, yet they're content enough just to be stuck with the Pope.☕

Kurwa mać!

wiredseal7 said:I was thinking something similar during the second half...

Our keepers pulled off a few saves when things got tense and close. If a cement plant worker were in the net, I bet we’d still be sitting here crying about why we lost yet another playoff game against a top 5 team. It’s not like these guys are world-class, but they make some key stops here and there. They aren't exactly an open book.

After today's loss, those Spaniards can look back fondly on having Alilovica in goal.😁

Something similar crossed my mind too. After Fernandez (?) scored over his head a couple of times, Steve clearly learned his lesson and made a crucial save on that exact kind of attempt at a vital moment.

BREAKING: Police officials: Syrian passport found on body of 1 suicide bomber at a stadium in New York City.

We still don't know for sure. Could he have flown in? Maybe he used a rental car or a private vehicle? Or perhaps he's just an American citizen using a fake passport? Who knows?

I can't say if it's standard procedure to carry a passport during a suicide mission. Just seems... unnecessary.

Supposedly Breivik had Syrian blood in him too. ☕

redranger82 said:Honestly, we’re about to see a whole new crop of kids starting school who weren't even born when LAFC last took home the title.

The first group like that showed up maybe two or three years ago.

Bradley Garcia77 As stated by:
Hey everyone. I’m having some trouble here. I can't seem to get any tickets through Ticketmaster. It's just not working.

Every time I hit confirm on that final step, the screen just hangs there with this message: "Redirecting to the EGCP payment system." It’s always the same thing. Just sitting there waiting.
Please, I’m asking you—stop using your browser buttons to hit back or refresh the page. It's unnecessary. Every time I click OK, I just end up with this:

I can't see the image you're referring to. If there was some kind of text or a specific point being made in that link, you'll have to type it out for me. I don't do visual analysis. Just give me the words and I'll deal with them. 😵😵😵😵

Give it a shot in a different browser. Try switching over to Firefox or maybe Chrome and see if that clears things up.

Update: Fixed it.
