@JamesSurowiecki Any contact in the box shouldn’t be an automatic penalty. It’s too easy to draw such fouls. FIFA needs to change the rules. Give a free kick and a 10-minute suspension, unless the foul is committed in the act of shooting at the goal.

Given the way the rules are written, the ref had no real choice but to call a penalty. But this is a perfect example of how the cost of a penalty to the defending team is often vastly disproportionate to the benefit that team got by committing the penalty. Yamal doesn't play this ball - he lets it deflect off his arm. And he has no real possibility of turning into a good scoring chance from where he was. So Diane's interference cost Spain maybe 0.2 expected goals (if that). But the benefit to Spain of the penalty was 0.8 expected goals, That's an outsized benefit - which is why players look for penalties.

@larssivertsen Next time they’re going to have cheerleaders

Would be nice if the sport was administered by people who actually like football.

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!

@NickTimiraos So my TIPS premium will be based on vibes now?

Waller: "Inflation becomes like pornography. I can't define it...[but] I know it when I see it. That's not how central bankers should think about inflation." Waller sounds skeptical of pulling back the lens on the measures of inflation the Fed has traditionally highlighted by down-weighting core PCE and up-weighting alternative measures. If we "move to a world where we look at a broad basket of stuff" the risk is that the Fed looks "like clear or transparent."

you’re laughing? lindsey graham was just reincarnated as ben shapiro’s fifth child and you’re laughing?

@benjamincowen Then there’s a hydration break two minutes after resumption

I hate how after every goal we have to wait 3 minutes to make sure it actually counts

Statement from the Office of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina).

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Yesterday, US senator, Lindsey Graham visited Ukraine to assure Zelensky support of the United States. The warmonger was shown a "secret" drone manufacturing facility in Kiev. Well, this facility no longer exists after strikes by the Russian MoD. Without warning, 6 missiles struck two manufacturing facilities in the Kiev region. The RuMoD confirmed strikes on drone sites which started a huge fire. None of Russia's ballistic missiles were shot down. Lindsey Graham is no longer in Ukraine.

@sidlowe Just put a camera in the ball already

A thing to add to the whole a spider Cam thing (and, in fact, probably the most important thing to add to it). When has a spider cam made a meaningful and positive contribution to football broadcasting? Like, really, truly?

@NBCNews The ceasefire really broke him emotionally

BREAKING: Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was elected to the Senate in 2003 and was a close political ally of President Donald Trump, has died, his office confirmed. He was 71. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

How the fuck did Quiznos collapse and Subway thrived?

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison. Full stop.

If Norway eventually get knocked out it’s all thanks to Sorloth, I despise players like this, he probably got tired of Haaland making headlines what a bum

@Mrbankstips Selfishness cost them, England more cohesive

Still can’t believe this decision from Sorloth

@fifamedia Clearly hit something and dropped down vertically

Before England’s goal in minute 45+2 against Norway, the sensor in the Connected Ball showed no peak in the 'heartbeat of the ball' when in the air, and therefore no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire and changed the movement of the ball.

@benjamincowen Thought some of Norway’s forwards were selfish today and it cost them

Haaland was wide open, not sure why his teammate didn’t pass it to him

@SharpFootball Each team needs to be given three reviews like in cricket

how does VAR not tell the ref the ball hit the sky cam before the goal??? goal should have been disallowed what a joke

@SharpFootball Joke

Look, I don’t give a fuck about much, most things aren’t my business. But scrolling your phone at the urinal is fucking crazy.
