Hawaiian journey is coming to an end. Here are a few snaps Luau Haleakala Nakalele Failed attempt at a sunset The landscape And 2 more of the whales Might have overdone it with the photos, but what the hell

Haha, nah. I drink too much Inca Kola. I'm addicted

Adopted a Hawaiian look for this trip

Do you know why Balon has left? Feels so sudden as he was posting fine on November 21st and then hasn't logged in since. I respect Cannabis' decision personally and Teso is no loss at all.

Let's hope they are actually taking it to account. The use has been very inconsistent. They nailed it during the World Cup last year, then botched it up again in the Copa America and the Womens World Cup. Then in the U17 WC they nailed it again. So I don't know what to think at this point, I still prefer human instinct but it can clearly be used correctly with the right group of referees.

I have a lot of issues with VAR as I've made very clear in the past, but for me the biggest issue is the lack of regulation when it comes to timing a decision. As an example, in the Copa America, Chile got a penalty against Argentina which was about 2-3 minutes after the initial tackle. Maybe a tad exaggerated, don't remember how long it was but it was certainly more than 15-20 seconds. For me a decision needs to be made 15 seconds after at most. Just takes a lot of soul out of the game. We need to keep a balance to make the fans happy. They are the ones who give the money after all.

Birthdays for me are fine, but I'm only 21 so that could definitely change in a few years.

I’ve followed Jun Nishikawa since he was 15, and he’s a top talent. Just further proof Japan is very underrated when it comes to football. I just hope he doesn’t go the Lee Seung-Woo route.

I'm aware but I didn't know that at the time. I thought when VAR was introduced that it was a new rule, but obviously that isn't true. As you said, they weren't as emphasized before VAR was a thing.

I've seen a few people excuse "fingernails" as offside, which you also can't score with. That's just conspiracy though. To be honest, I thought the rule was feet only being taken into offside. I wasn't aware that it was any part of your body prior to VAR. I never took a deep look into the rulebook, but that can be said about VAR in a lot of ways where we learn obscure rules no one was aware of.

The Copa America had plenty of goals ruled out for this reason. I remember one of Chile's disallowed goal against Colombia was feet onside, but I think it was the shoulder that kept him off. There were many more examples in that tournament alone. Personally I prefer football via human instinct but VAR is here to stay and we'll have to get used to it unfortunately.

I'm slowly getting used to VAR to be honest. From a technical standpoint, my biggest issue is the misuse of rules. Having a fingernail or a hand offside is stupid. The rule says that only body parts that can score can be offside. Last time I checked, you can't score with your hand. The offside rule needs to be feet only though. The current rules may be misread, but it's stupid as it is even with that.

Enjoy your time. I'm also going to a tropical island soon, but a much more mainstream one (Hawaii)

This isn't the island with the crab invasions right?

Wow! How much did that cost, if you don't mind me asking?

I just noticed, Sirbalon hasn't been online since November

Congrats Fernando! Hope he kicks off his career from here.

Pacheco is in Brazil now. Baffling but I'm happy for him anyways and hope he shuts me up.

Phantasy Star. I'm playing through all 4 games. Currently on the first one. I got it on the Switch which is a much easier version of the game, but I only did it because I don't have a Master System. The other 3 I will play on my Genesis. Heard it of? @Mel81x

Fernando Pacheco is joining Fluminense For 1M too, even though he has failed to impress in Peru. Unbelievable. Cristal have ripped off Fluminense completely. I'm praying he does well as he has plenty of talent but is a complete donkey. Could be an asset if he develops more.

I am going to Hawaii very soon. Due to personal problems, I rather just relax there and forget about everything. As a result, I've scrapped my original idea of going to Molokai and I'm not doing Niihau as I didn't like these news of Helicopter crashes in Hawaii. There was 3 in 2019. Still, will be a fun time.
