Dammit, he absolutely leveled Banić.😲

Twelve defenders on the field... and then there's this guy just sprinting toward the ten spot near Chicago... 🙏

What an absolute joke of eight minutes 🙏>

Man, how is the overtime even going this badly right now? 🙏

🤣🤣 Seriously, this is Čavlina’s sixth save already... 🙏just unbelievable, I guess.

Tucy, fittingly enough, given the last name 🙏...

I suppose Ramon's thoughts have already passed through... 🙏

🤣🤣

I should probably mention... I guess... that back when things were happening in St. Louis, it felt like a total joke—like a complete disaster caused by those lockdowns—especially since they had fourteen of them to deal with. 🙏

What an absolute psychological meltdown this team is having... 🙏

Is this Thomas guy seriously just going to be this tedious? Does he always have to go on these endless rants? 🙏

Paul Sanchez said:Can someone please walk me through how these licensing rules actually work? I get that Lokomotiv and Šibenik got rejected because their stadiums don't meet the mark, sure. But then how does Rudeš get a license when they’re playing at a tiny local field that’s barely better than a high school stadium? If they make it up to the top flight, they'll end up using the exact same pitch that Lokomotiv was denied for! And then there's Cibalia—even though their stadium is better than half the teams in the first division, they were denied licenses for both the second and first tiers. Same goes for Dugopolje, even though they have arguably the nicest stadium in the whole country. Is this just another attempt to favor the big clubs from the capital? Honestly, I’m rooting for Lokomotiv to finally go down so we can see a team like Cibalia or El Paso move up instead of yet another club from the city where maybe a hundred people show up to games. I truly believe Gorica and Šibenik can catch up to Lokomotiv, and while it might be a steeper climb for Cibalia to leapfrog Rudeš, I’m still holding out hope they get licensed soon. The last thing I want to see is a league that's just a bunch of commuter teams.

You have everything right here in detail. In short, obviously it isn't just about the stadiums, otherwise I guess nobody would ever get licensed anyway. 😬

That’s just our typical Joe—but honestly, what can you do when you're dealing with those sensitive souls from the Deep South?

So is that it? Now even Šajo has chimed in on this thread? Have we all officially lost our minds now—all 3,871,833 of us? 🕺

Nancy Sanchez31 said:Did you guys see how the media handled that whole situation back when Vlasic was playing for West Ham in London?

🤣🤣 Ugh, just thinking back to that absolute madness among the casual fans... honestly, it was quite something to witness 😍

It’s just like how Livaja was totally out of it during that match against Denmark at the stadium, and then, I don't know, maybe it was just luck, but two months later he's suddenly the hero against Canada 🙂

wiredfalcon2 said:Is it a total lie that there's actually a picture out there of Mickey helping his old man put on his coat? 🤔
Also, I need the receipts—show me my 10 previous posts where I mentioned this stuff. Thanks.

It's a lie, because the whole thing is backwards—it's actually the Dad putting a coat on Miško. 😬

Well, he really blew it this time... and honestly, Krovinović’s sheer stupidity regarding the Istria situation was just the icing on the cake. 🙏

wiredfalcon2 said:That logic only works if you’ve spent your entire life staring at spreadsheets instead of actually watching a single game of football.

Besides, during this stretch, the numbers for the team from Rijeka are basically identical to what the big club in Chicago puts up, even though they haven't exactly been neck-and-neck with them every single season. I guess it's all just math to some people, isn't it?😬

casualskipper65 said:Is it just me, or is that average looking a little bit sketchy?

Edit: My bad, I misread the numbers. Realized the average is actually how many games it takes to draw a single penalty call.

Yeah, exactly. The average basically shows the frequency of penalty calls per team. Based on this, it looks like the LA Lakers need about half a half more game time than the Boston Celtics to get one 😬—or maybe twice as much time if we're strictly looking at the era since they implemented VAR in the US
.

I wonder... is there actually more Kohorte or Štuka presence out there in the stands? 🤣

Look, if you actually bother to check the stats from the last season before they brought in VAR, the team was sitting at sixth for most penalties conceded, just like the season before that too. I mean, it's right there. 😳

But hey, by all means, feel free to go dig through the old season archives yourselves if you want to keep obsessing over it. 😬

Whatever, man. I basically went out of my way to compile every scrap of data available on Transfermarkt—starting from 2006 all the way up to now, though I left this current season out. I broke down the raw numbers by season based on the league formats (whether it was a 12-team, 16-team, or 10-team setup), and then, at the very end, I categorized everything from when VAR was introduced back in the spring of 2020.



But again, I guess I'll leave the debate to you guys. 😬

We’re just sitting here, waiting for those folks from Rujevička—or whatever you call that stadium out in the suburbs—to get back to us, so we can finally hear if they're still trying to force things in favor of the underdog, I guess. 😢

So far, we’re still just hanging around, waiting on those reports regarding the penalty kicks that, frankly, should have been called but weren't. Maybe they'll ever arrive. 😢

I wonder... is Ante Oršić actually playing today? 😢

Ethan Jones5 said:MLS logic at its finest😁

Given those stats, I’m calling a 4-0 blowout for Šibenik.☕

I suppose I’m still closer than you are. Or maybe not. It's hard to say for certain, really. 😬
