The irony for me in all these dumb athletes is one of my favorite teachers in high school taught science and was also a basketball coach. Led the school team to many victories too. He was smart, funny and engaging. And he was always trying to learn more. It was surreal having him as a classmate in the astronomy class I took in college.

Italy fail to quality for the 2018 World Cup - after losing 1-0 to Sweden over their 2 legged play-off.

Other big footballing nations who haven’t qualified are Netherlands, Ghana, Chile, Cameroon, Nigeria.

The USA didn’t qualify either - edged out by Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama in their group. (Honduras are in playoff vs Australia)

Fear not Frink, a resplendent World Cup 2018 thread will likely appear on these baronial parts sometime soon - likely after the draw is made on the 1st December.

What?

I just meant that there’s now a soccer/football thread so I would think any soccer/football posts would belong there instead of here.

I have an easy enough time divorcing actors from their characters, so this news won’t impede my ability to watch TOS or the TOS movies in the future.

I usually have no problem separating art from the artist. Most people ain’t no good and anybody who believes otherwise is a fool.
Still, it’s really a downer when someone you appreciate turns out to be a monster like Cosby.
I’ll still be able to watch and laugh at Louie despite the ugly news, but Cosby’s offenses have made that impossible.
(also, Louie being honest about it all is taking steps in the direction of helping others in similar situations come forward and That’s Good.)

The USA didn’t qualify either

😠

It went down to the 2nd half of the final round of qualifying games - USA were in a qualifiying position and looking good at half-time - then Mexico and Costa Rica surrendered their leads in the 2nd half - and the USA slid down the Group Table as they lost to Trinidad & Tobago - missing out on the World Cup by 1 point.

Shame as the MLS is doing well - and grassroots / coaching apart - the future was/is looking bright for US soccer.
 

Rumour is that you’ll be soon hosting another World Cup again in 2026/2030…

Lets just hope our team is able to qualify for that one. As for right now, the whole team should hang their heads in shame. If it were up to me, I’d get the whole team together, coaches included and force them to listen to the National Athem of the host country again and again and again for a whole day.

Since this is now the soccer thread, I agree with Warb. Also we should make them kneel the whole day while the anthem is playing.

Is there a way to make them both watch and listen to The Anthem? Preferably without blinking.

I am no longer talking about that. I wish you would do the same.

Aren’t those Keurig machines a tad expensive to be smashing?

Nothing says “effective protest” like destroying something you already paid the company for.

And then you have to go out and buy a different coffee maker, incompatible with those wasteful little pods Keurig uses.

Let’s give someone a hard time for bringing up an old, sensitive topic, then bring up an old, sensitive topic with someone else. That’s a good idea!

That’s a tough call. Arguably Ford could also have been drunk. People have had torrid secret affairs on movie productions since silent films even. Being in another country far from home on a long film shoot surrounded by a mostly British crew that could sometimes be hostile to the yanks in their midst is another factor. In that pre internet world one could easily feel cut off from home and family.

Does everything we love have to be tainted by the spectre of this now?

I can’t help wondering what this is in reference to.
