Bullshit penalty, I think we can all agree on that.

Not like the Netherlands deserved to win, they played quite badly. Just feels bad to go out like this. I didn't watch every game but this referee was the worst I've seen all tournament.

Really missed frenkie de jong and I'm disappointed Koeman didn't put on van de Ven or Frimpong.

Rooting for Spain in the final. Lesser of two evils but they play much better football and have a far more likeable team (and country).

Leuk kijkje in hoe dat werkt. Het is effectief en dit is denk ik deels wat hem teflon Mark maakt.

Het verhaal dat hij op zijn fiets naar helemaal niemand zijn duim opsteekt zodat hij op die manier wordt gefotografeerd... een bijna perfect voorbeeld van hoe de politiek een toneelstuk kan zijn.

The title is actually accurate, those are crazy trains. I love the Hello Kitty one

I have a combination of green/gray/blue. I'll see if I can take a photo later.

I heard about this from a podcast called The Missing Cryptoqueen from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84

In a way it's a classic ponzi scheme so in that sense it's not that novel. But this Dr. Ruja, as she was known by people who "bought" OneCoin, sold herself and OneCoin super well and took full advantage of the crypto craze. The scale and then disappearance are crazy.

Maybe this is in the article but I think the leading theory is that she's in the UAE or Qatar or something. I assume she can't really travel but she can just live like an actual queen over there and those governments won't care about where he money came from.

I have this system at home and it's great. Similar climate to Paris and never a problem.

Mijn partner denkt erover na om zo'n 23 and me achtige test te doen. Wel een goed artikel om naar te verwijzen, want je komt dan inderdaad in zulke databases terecht.

Cold cases oplossen is leuk, maar ik ben echt zo huiverig om allemaal databases met DNA te hebben waar de overheid door kan zitten zoeken. Extreem voorbeeld maar voor Hitler zouden zulke databases een droom zijn om joden mee te kunnen vinden.

I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?

Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.

I'm biased but just to play devil's advocate: where is the limit?

Imagine everyone is on one half of the pitch except for three players: an attacker with the ball 40 meters from goal, the goalie who is 25 meters from goal, and another attacker who is right next to the goalkeeper, blocking the goalie's path to the goal.

The attacker with the ball shoots the ball through the air into the empty goal, with not even a tiny chance the goalkeeper could ever make it. Is it offside?

I would argue it isn't and I think almost no referee would say it's offside simply because the goalkeeper didn't stand a chance to get anywhere close to the ball.

This is an extreme case, but I feel like today Maignon also would never have gotten that ball.

It's difficult because you can't always know if a goalkeeper would have been able to reach the ball without any interference, but there's gotta be some sort of line between true interference and irrelevant interference that would never change the outcome of what is about to happen.

I probably agree it's offside. As a Dutch person I'm frustrated now, but if I were French I'd be annoyed if the goal had been allowed.

Yeah it's a yellow according to the rules so fair enough. I just find it so unsportsmanlike that I wouldn't mind this being a red.

 
 

VVD-leider Yesilgöz wil dat er inhoudelijke onderhandelingen beginnen over een "centrumrechts kabinet". Na haar gesprek met verkenner Plasterk zei ze dat de VVD bereid is een kabinet van PVV, NSC en BBB "vanuit de Kamer" mogelijk te maken.
