Vous autres les spécialistes de la période ?
Je m’estime assez sachant sur la 2e GM, et si je n’irais pas a dire que j’ai découvert en plan des choses, les angles et la discussion historique suivie apportent beaucoup de nuances
He clearly endangered the bosnian’s physical integrity. It was a reckless hit on the ankle, which was supporting weight. He could have shattered it. It was not nasty, a typical misplay from an attacking player trying to defend.
This was a red card, no question.
Two wrongs do not make a right. I don’t care if messi should have been sent off or if Bosnia should have had cards thrown at them earlier. As a referee you have to try and take the right decision every time. And this was the right decision.
I fail to see any particular reason why.
The Turkish federation has corruption but so have many other federations that regularly send their teams to tournaments.
They have a middle-income status, and the sport is basically a second religion so there should be enough ressources.
They have a potentially massive reservoir of talent due to their demography.
But yet... they flounder most time than not. Only 2 world cup participations is ludicrous.
So, any people to try and provide a deep explanation for the Turkish football woes?
PS: i believe that the shortcomings for club football are more evident. Too many older intl players, no long-term projects, and the wild swings of the Lira against the Euro are not helping.
Ca parle d'une remontée potentiellement très forte des températures après le 7/8 juillet, a nouveau flirtant avec le 40 dans la moitié nord, c'est quoi les probabilités a ce stade que cela se produise effectivement ?
Compte tenu du terrorisme auditif auquel on a pu etre habitués, avec les Balbir, Ferreri, Robert Pires et cie, je trouve que c’est plutot une reussite ces equipes de commentateurs (meme si le plateau comme toujours sert a rien)
Lorsque les logements deviennent trop chauds en période d'été, on a tous déjà vu les astuces de grand-mère, du type
- Mettre une bassine d'eau froide dans la pièce
- Mettre un t shirt trempé sur le ventilo
- Ou même enfiler soi même un T shirt mouillé
etc etc
J'imagine qu'à court terme cela peut permettre de donner quelques sensations de frais. Mais quand il fait 32 degrés dans votre chambre, toute cette eau devient très vite de l'humidité supplémentaire dans la pièce
Et Chaleur + Humidité = ENCORE PIRE
Donc on se foutrait pas un peu de notre gueule avec ces histoires?
And I agree with the fact that this is going to be a crucial summer for him.
Two years ago he had the Olympics
Last offseason was still spent in the aftermath of his bloodclot
This is the summer when he has to unlock some of the lingering shortcomings we, for all his heroics, have seen from him since his rookie season.
Everyone knew how the Knicks were going to play against him, and yet the spurs couldn’t find any solution.
More strength in his lower body, a little more muscle to add up above, a go to move, more post ups alternating with facing up the basket. Improve his screening ability. His frame makes him a non obvious screener, but he can do better.
I believe the stinging defeat is going to unleash him further
It strikes me when I see all those posts of MyGMs pretending that Fox is a libaility, that is contract is a burden, that he should be traded away for pick and so on. Same for a few other plays whose contracts are not the greatest but are nontheless providing all-star caliber basketball to their teams.
Has everyone forgotten that the NBA just entered a new deal that is going to double the amont of money paid by the networks per year in the decade to come? Which means that under the CBA, the salary cap is going to soar.
The NBA wanted to avoid what went on the two last times this happened, in the mid-90s and mid-10s: destabilizing of the contract structure throughout the league and great tension: think Scottie Pippen with a laughable contract when he was a top-5 player in the NBA, or KD being able to join the Warriors because of the gigantic expansion of cap space. So this time around, the league has put on measures to smooth the increase in the salary cap.
But this salary cap increase is going to happen nonetheless. And 5 years from now, an all-NBA player will be expected to sign contracts worth north of 80/90 million$ a year. So all the people who line up to say that Fox's contract is horrible and that it's horribile that he will be costing the spurs 60 mil a year when he is 31-32, just think that by this time this will be a contract 15 to 25 million underpriced if he maintains his level.
It's surprising that no one is talking about this, as if all the new money was going to the owners' pockets. Or am I being completely up my own arse here?
They always assault Antwerp, the coast and Turnout with overwhelming force. Everytime I hold up Bruges pretty well, but they assault and assault and assault
Forts are quickly useless since they get hammered down during the assaults and I can't repair them as long as they have the initiative...
As for anti air, as show in my templates I have them in my units models as well as 5/5 anti air units in every state. However they seem to have been nerfed somewhat compared to previous versions as the german air force is rampaging through my states and army... overall turtling seems way more difficult than in the past.
The organization that german units maintain is disheartening. They attack repeatedly, though seem not to suffer any damange organization wise. Their panzers are a nightmare.
I feel like I cannot do better industry wise than what I did, and I would not be able to produce in time enough tanks to counter, while maintaining anti tank and anti air and artillery in the forces.
And finally never have I had so many problems with the front mechanic. This fucking AI is sending troops all the time in the wrong tiles and depleting stressed out sectors, so much so that each time it was a dumb redeployement that led to the decisive attack by the germans. Perhaps should I go ultra micro, and assign one tile to defend for each goup of units to stop this fuckery?
The congolese units arrived around july but it wasn't enough to stem the tide.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
You can think, write about class, race, age, demographics, regions, urban/rural etc all you want, there is one metric that acts as the great divider and the great explainer of so much of the politics of this country in this day and age:
Evangelicals vs Everyone else
Remove them from the electorate and the US overton window and political gravity center instantly shifts to somewhere between Britain and Sweden. Free market economics and strong democratic and anti-corruption institutions.
Their views on social, on economics (prosperity gospel), their conspirational view on so many aspects of life, their gulllibleness, their apocalyptic view of foreign affairs especially in the middle east etc etc are so outlandish compared to the rest of the population that they singlehandedly push the discourse towards the far right because they are 30% of the population and are so far gone - as in other countries, such as South Korea, Brazil and others.
This has been a fight between the protestant evangelicals and everyone else for the soul of this country since the end of the XXth century.
But because religious freedom is so embeed in the US' DNA, it has been impossible to fight back for the Democratic Party, and "define the ennemy" as right wingers love to say, quoting some Schmitt. And so they have been locked into adressing the fight tangentially which proved ineffectual in the long run.
Yet, alongside ultramontanists and the russia orthodox church, they are to christianity what ultra orthodoxes are to jews, islamists are to muslims or hindu nationalists are in India. Religious zealots whose world view and intolerance can only lead to civil strife sooner or later.
Absolutely useless synday ramblings
I would love it to feature three statues, one for the Admiral, one for the Big Fundamental and one for Pop.
But I was also thinking about how this focus on world basketball, on what international talent has brought to this very texan city in terms of openess to the world and international exposure.
I would love to see an alley with american and lone star flags, which would also permanently feature the flag for every country that has a player with at least 500 regular season games played for the spurs, that is, around 6 seasons.
It would fit into the culture and be a tiny but neat hommage to what has brought the spurs to where they are today in the NBA, one of its blue-blood franchises.
Especially given the lower standards the Naithsmith tends to have relative to the Baseball and Pro Football halls of fame
Aujourd’hui durant ma séance avec ma psy, elle m’a subitement proposé de sortir du cabinet et de faire un exercice sur les pensées ruminantes et la présence en se promenant au soleil et en faisant le tour du quartier, qu’elle a improvisé. Puis elle m’a dit qu’elle essaierait de m’inclure dans des listes de créneaux complémentaires hors doctolib pour garder un rythme suffisant
C’est cool d’arriver a bâtir une relation de confiance suffisante avec son therapeute pour pouvoir tenter des choses et sortir des cadres habituels. Y’a une forme d’attention et de considération qui me touche
Voila
