  1. They're truly falling apart aren't they? Some of them are nobodies, but some, like Eva Marie are people who JUST GOT THERE, displaying that WWE has no idea what they're doing when it comes to mid-long term booking. 
    Kross & Scarlett, Lee and Yim, how can you not make something of those guys? Scarletts ass is wider than the planet. As if she won't sell tickets. Kross and Lee are monsters.

    Not sure what he did wrong against Brighton? If you mean his disallowed goal for handball, I think you should watch a replay of it - that looked about as accidental as they come.

    The defense and midfield were more to blame for the 2 points lost than the front 3 imo

    I'm not blaming his performance, I'm talking about his behavior. I genuinely think its effecting the team, and that there seems to be a correlation between his tantrums and your dropping points. 

  3. I think there should be retrospective bans for divers, and VAR should more often impose penalties on those found guilty of trying to trick the system. 

    If you go down under light/no contact and appeal for a penalty, you should get a yellow card, kept on a separate record to your other yellows. 2 in a season and you get a 1 match ban. 3? 2 match ban and so on. 

    These should be carried across all UEFA competitions. So a premier league player who commits an offence in the league, then later in Europe, will miss their next game.

    I haven't needed to work this out since high school, but I think if you draw a straight diagonal line from the goal to the corner of the penalty box, it is more than 18 yards.

    No. 

     

    You go in a straight direction (not diagonal) from any part of the goal line out towards the pitch. 18 yards takes you to the edge of the box. 

    From either side of the goal, go 18 yards out towards the corner flag and you get to the edge of the box. 

    You're doing 18 yards from the centre of the goal in which case you're right. But that's not how the 18 yard box is measured. 

     

    You're a melt. It was literally the crux of the issue. 

    Though I think you misunderstood inverted.

    Yep, you're measuring from the wrong spot. You don't measure from the goalpost diagonally to that corner of the box. 

    The rest of your drawings are fine so you get some marks for that :P

     

    THE RED LINE IS THE GOAL LINE.

    I'm going to explain this really simply, before you become a legendary whooper like the liverpool guy who thought dinosaurs were a hoax. 
    The distance from the goal POST to the edge of the box towards the corner flag is 18 yards. 
    The distance from the goal POST to the edge of the box towards the half way line is 18 yards. 
    This creates an 18 by 18 square. With the goal post being one corner of the square, and the corner of the box being the opposite corner. 

    The distance between 2 corners of a square is calculated as the square root of (side a squared + side b squared) 
    Those distances are both equal so we're looking for the square root of 18^2 +18^2, or even simpler, 18 sqrt 2.

    This is 25.46 yards. 

    You can do this at home with a ruler/pen/your dick. Draw a square, measure the side, then measure it corner to corner. It's longer corner to corner. Simples.

    Yes. From the post to the CORNER of the 18 yard box is just over 25 yards. That's how squares work.

    Welcome to The Young Bucks.

    I've seen plenty of their stuff, mostly in NJPW, but Ive also seen their original 2 matches against the Lucha Bros back when AEW started. By god they've gotten so much worse.

    So I watched the steel cage bucks vs bros match. I hated it. I like the Lucha Bros and think the bucks have good days and bad. But fuck me that was ghastly. They just stuffed the match with 'stuff' nothing had time to have impact, or time to breathe. Was just a low budget indy fan match. 

    Also watched Omega vs Bryan. Was good, great in patches, but also was a bit too frantic and stuffed, with little selling.

    Goes to show what he offers as a whole. He’s immense off the ball and always creates opportunities with his movement. He may not be on the end of chances but his goal involvement under Tuchel has been very good.  

    Imagine if he could put away the ones he should. Not saying imagine he had abilities like Zlatan and instincts like Gomez. Just imagine if he was average at putting the ball away. He'd be lethal. Instead he has a poor passing and finishing game,  breaks up your attacks at times, and finishes almost nothing.
