The big benefit imo is that there are no tournaments at the start of the second half of the season anymore. AFCON used to cause havoc and seeing as Salah and Mane would have had to depart for it, its a blessing in disguise that they moved the tournament. I shudder to think what would happen if we lost two of our front three to injuries but its a risk Klopp is willing to take and I don't think he'd have taken it without some kind of backup plan which he sees more than anyone else in training.

I kinda get where hes coming from but I think its unfair to voice and opinion like that and not state what can be done about the problem. Then again, Simeone has never been one to not say what's on his mind.

In my Top 5 SF EVO Finals moments. To get hammered and still come back and do what Bonchan did. Deserved the tournament title.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/06/fa-womens-football-wsl-streaming?CMP=share_btn_tw It's actually a good initiative but I think they're not doing it for the actual betterment of the sport but this little line all the way at the end "England’s 2-1 semi-final defeat against the United States at this summer’s Women’s World Cup in France was, according to the BBC, watched by a peak TV audience of 11.7 million – a UK record figure for women’s football." More viewers equals more TV dollahs.

Also, incase anyone is interested EVO 2019 started yesterday and this is a list of all the events. If you're into fighting games there will be some good matchups across most of the popular ones. https://smash.gg/tournament/evo-2019/events

Looks a bit fun. Watched the entire walkthrough and seems a lot like a late 90s game called Syndicate.

Watched it yesterday and Robbo's face when he eats the biscuits is priceless. Even the comment "why would you invite him he only has 3% body fat" LOFL

The pipes on this guy.

I dont think thats an incorrect statement at all. Some of his appearances have been very good and he'll only get better. Even if he does make a few mistakes along the way he can only get better from what I have seen.

Honestly never seen this band until the video but I do like their album.

Think he'll win it too.

Dont know if a court will see it that way but his lawyer will certainly push it as that. If the club is asked about it, which I dont think will even be a question here, then they'll just say he had disciplinary issues like any other player which is why he was let go.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/24/crystal-palace-mamadou-sakho-sues-wada-for-13m-over-drugs-test-error-liverpool Sakho is claiming that the WADA test ruined his Liverpool career. I don't think that it was the only contributing factor but he did miss a final because of it when he was on form.

I just hope we don't have to play this team ever again because it always brings some element of rashness to both our game and theirs. Lets not imagine any team is immune to this kind of behavior they all have examples. But, I think @Dr. Gonzo brings up a good point. Why is it that this is a consistent style of behavior from this team and why is it that they think they can continue to do it when they've clearly been called up for it every single time? I don't think this kind of behavior from a player is tolerated in La Liga so I am also genuinely interested in understanding where it comes from. With VAR on the horizon now I think we'll start seeing less of it (we can all pray and hope) but a part of me thinks this goes beyond being called up by a ref and something else.

Should be a ban for X amount of matches. No intent to play the ball and injure a player. Why is it that every time we play them something has to happen.

So from what I've read and seen I like the idea of brain wave scanning and pattern reading as well. But for me the bigger implementation here is behavioral change now because the application here is far more than just reading and integration with an AI. I also think this could be used for degenerative muscle disorders as well because if they can get the strands to operate with flexibility on electricity they could strengthen core areas of the muscle structure to help people with accidents and injuries to recover faster with more stimulation as well.

Think @Fusion is around there? could be wrong.

I just stumbled on this and it seems like the two of them got together, had a few drinks and decided to do this. Total fun on display.

Never change Zlatan.

Yeah I am not overtly worried about it either. I've never really cared for Gears honestly.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/07/why-is-there-no-smoking-in-gears-5-it-depends-on-who-you-ask/ If you haven't heard about this there won't be any smoking from any of the NPCs in Gears 5. What is rather odd is how it came about but I honestly don't think it affects anything or anyone whether they smoke or not. I honestly could really give two-shits about it and how it works out but the comment section made me think why this is rated as an M title and they only focused on the smoking part as an exclusion? Surprised they didn't tone down the chainsaw hacking or anything else.

Yes no more of that rubbish please (with regards to No Man's Sky). As for the rest I did some reading and people have indeed poured some ridiculous time into it as well. I can't wait to give it a try and see how hooked I get. I played a very indie game sometime last year called They Are Billions and at first I said to myself I'll just play it for kicks then I got really agitated when I realized the zombies were literally trying to dick me over and so I'd plan only to consistently fail no matter how much good progress I thought I had made.
