cubaricho Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I mean it could be totally natural (apparently he’s been sick the last week or so) but there is too much smoke for there not to be fire, right? His last piece he published was about the human rights abuses, he was very publicly wearing rainbow stuff (and getting detained) and writing articles about how he was being treated. It just fucking sucks man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 He’s easily one of the most outspoken American journalists re: sport and particularly football. He challenged every sort of bad actor he could and questioned everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in the game that I follow on Twitter has something nice to say about the guy. He knew everybody and everybody loved him.

Miggys First Goal Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just listening to the commentator there talking about the next WC. 40 extra games with all the extra teams. Insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane My idea from earlier in this thread would have 8 games less and no team in 3rd place would qualify. The new idea is better than 3 team groups (it's basically a beefed up version of the 24 team Euros) but I really prefer the symmetry of 2 teams from every 4 team group qualifying.

Ameritoon Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It just feels so preventable. Why was there no defib in the press box? Why is everyone in Qatar getting sick? Not blaming it on anyone or anything, just doesn't feel right to lose someone that young so suddenly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
