Is it just me, or does every single sport feel like it's constantly scrambling to find a new icon to replace the legends? It feels like we spend more time debating who the "next" somebody is than actually watching the talent we have right now. Anyone else getting tired of the constant hype cycles?
I'm thinking either Joe Manchin or the Democratic Party will snag one seat in the 3rd district...
My take? The worst case for the Republican Party is hitting 54 seats (52+2), while the best case puts them at 61 (59+2). In that bad scenario, they'd need 16 from Mike Pence's camp—which is realistic—plus another 6 "others," which should be an easy pickup for them...
placidrider48 said:If they've actually written off the centrist coalition, then I guess the challenger would need to snag at least 20 seats just to give the Republican Party a fighting chance at staying in power.
Not necessarily. For every seat the Republican Party gets over 50, Mike Pence could get fewer than 20. As long as those groups total around 70...
A few minority seats + Joe Manchin + the Democratic Party + one or two traitors, and there you go.
Of course they aren't going to pay that $500 $0.00 fine. They probably found some loophole in the law to wiggle through... Or maybe there isn't even a loophole, they just won't pay. Simple as that.
Jonathan Phillips4 said:That's true, but I honestly think the Republican Party is going to pull in fewer seats than they usually do in those districts.
Honestly, I doubt it.
In Washington, D.C., they'll grab the usual 4 or 5... probably the same in the XI district. It's pretty much what they always get.
Samuel Walker7 said:Five years ago, he should've just left. This tournament proved we missed out on a final and potential gold because of him. I'm telling you, he’ll be guarding those Olympic qualifiers too. He’s the starter. What are Isaac and Steve supposed to do against a beast like that?
At the end of today's final, even Saracevic said, "Mirko is an elite keeper. All this stuff being said about him online isn't right. We need to dial it back a bit..." 🤦
Robin Fox2 said:Losing isn't the issue. We expected to go out after getting played by that Frenchman. The problem is losing because of things we actually had control over.
Exactly.
If Stevanović had been guarding the whole game, maybe things would've gone differently...
silverdrifter24 said:Statistically, their keepers weren't even better than ours. We can't just pin everything on the goal line this time... though a few more saves wouldn't have hurt.
A massive win despite the hurdles. Congrats to the guys. On to the next one... 😬
Actually, they were.
Their keepers had 9 saves (25%), while ours only had 7 (18%).
