Fuck me what a boring game. Finals are often cautious but this is intensely uninteresting.

I have this system at home and it's great. Similar climate to Paris and never a problem.

I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?

Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.

I'm biased but just to play devil's advocate: where is the limit?

Imagine everyone is on one half of the pitch except for three players: an attacker with the ball 40 meters from goal, the goalie who is 25 meters from goal, and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

I would argue it isn't and I think almost no referee would say it's offside simply because the goalkeeper didn't stand a chance to get anywhere close to the ball.

This is an extreme case, but I feel like today Maignon also would never have gotten that ball.

It's difficult because you can't always know if a goalkeeper would have been able to reach the ball without any interference, but there's gotta be some sort of line between true interference and irrelevant interference that would never change the outcome of what is about to happen.

I probably agree it's offside. As a Dutch person I'm frustrated now, but if I were French I'd be annoyed if the goal had been allowed.

Yeah it's a yellow according to the rules so fair enough. I just find it so unsportsmanlike that I wouldn't mind this being a red.

Only saw the highlights. Plenty of chances for Belgium, unlucky with the two disallowed goals. Silly way to concede though and now it's a pretty crazy group with the two strongest teams on paper in the bottom two spots.

Oh nice thanks for sharing the video! I made up the part where the trickster mates with the female, but the first part was true!

Silver lining for Arsenal is that they can focus on the league, but now for City (and probably Liverpool) the same applies.

I used 'reader mode', or whatever it's called, on Firefox and that worked well.

May I ask why you use maps.me? As far as I know that's just a worse version than Organic Maps at this point.

not sure many English players rank winning the bundesliga that highly

Kane hasn't won anything though, right? Regardless, I think most players would be very happy to win the Bundesliga. You get to experience a great celebration in Munich, through a bunch of beer on people, and of course in order to be able to win and celebrate you'll play in an amazing league with a very unique and beautiful fan culture. Not to mention that Bayern will almost certainly go quite far in the Champions League.

Whether he will go to Bayern is another question of course. Maybe he just prefers staying in England.

Yes that's a good point, and thank you for the insight
