That's the problem right there... The RMCP let a Sith lord run amok for years with a seriously weak disguise. Incompetent indeed.
I don't give a flying **** what other people wear. I wear full-face coverings sometimes, when I'm skiing for a full day in Northern Michigan. That would make me a criminal I guess. And when I'm robbing banks, but that's beside the point.
Organized religion and the prejudices that come with have done more to set back society than any other thing I can think of, including the Black Plague. Every religion is the one true religion. If people want to follow a different wrong set of values and beliefs than my own wrong beliefs, let us all burn in hell together.
And if women want to be told that they can only dress a certain way by their religion, and let it happen, then that's their own damn fault. They can just wear something else any time they want. In France I'm talking about.

has anyone seen any more specifics on the new NGTC specs? I'm mostly looking for what rim size will be used, all I can find is "larger rims and tyres". Which means 18" or 19" rims. SuperTouring used 19", are they planning to return to those days with the rims I wonder?
aerospace and mechanical really aren't that different. It's only a few classes different. Mechanical has more flexibility in hiring at the end of college.
I know mechanical engineers who work in the wind tunnel and aerospace engineers who do mechanical jobs.
At least here, the first year of classes is the same, (most of the second too). So it would be really easy to switch if you decided you want the other one. I had to make the same decision going into college, and now I'm neither. I wouldn't stress which one you go into so much, and don't be afraid to admit you really want something else. It's the rest of your life we are talking about.

Yeah I can easily see how people thought that. Certainly Germany had been playing fantastic and Spain was just scraping by. My comment was more directed at one member of this forum who claimed/complained that everyone was hating on Germany, when all I heard was German love/dominance everywhere before the match
Most people (both forum and in real life) were telling me that Germany was going to cream Spain 
Not the other way around.
Not the other way around.
good is perhaps a bit weaker term than I would use. I was indifferent on them coming into the tourny, but they've won me over Pedro was epic fail on that play.
EDIT: Lynce, your comments are excellent. And a big part of the reason I'm pulling for Spain is the class and poise they've shown through the word cup. from both the players and fans. only 1 yellow and in the final? that's the way to play

You're right, I got the score wrong
but the winner right, that's more important in my book when everyone else picks Germany
ALSO: ALL HAIL THE PSYCHIC OCTOPUS!!!!!
TRULY HIS POWER IS GREAT!!!
3-1 Spain
Germany's great with an early goal, but they won't get it this time.
in a much more open game, Spain will carry the day. 2-1 ahead until the final minutes when Germany throws everything forward and pays. 1-0 | 2-0 | 2-1 | 3-1
getting rather specific there, I can now fail with my prediction in so many ways

I feel like no one is rooting for Spain. lotsa NED lotsa GER, no ESP love coming from this forum.
except me. and the few guys with Spain flags next to their names
they're outnumbered by Hollands and Germanys by a lot
oh and I finally watched more replays. technically offside yes, but it was very close, and indeed if there is any question advantage goes with attacking team. Nothing to complain about really, there are waaay worse calls in this tournament. Refs can't be perfect, and they don't get replays like we do.
The goalie definitely hesitated waiting for the deflection that never came though...

but if he influenced the ability of the defender to get to the ball or caused the goalie to hesitate because of a potential deflection...offside
EDIT: 3rd goal was absolutely fantastic
@MAckie the Dutch player played the ball. Uruguay was just a deflection, it doesn't count that way
he would have had to play the ball with some intent

doesn't have to touch it to be offsides.
but like I said, we only got one replay, commentators think it was offside though
debateable offsides goal
I'm really unclear after watching the only replay they showed. I hope not for the sake of the game.
EDIT: Doesn't matter all that much anymore 3-1!

70mph as the fastest seems a bit low to me... unless the speed gun was lying a few years ago when it told me I kicked 72mph
I'd say the fastest would be 120+ mph
with most pro's fastest being 95-105 or so
what this means to me is his new CD isn't actually any good
so he has to go for the publicity stunt sorta mentality to sell more

The current rules are correct as written
The ball never crosses the goal line, so a goal cannot be awarded. A penalty kick without the goalie is not a viable option, the referee on the field cannot tell what exactly a ball would have done if it was not handled. There are a lot of shots that it is unclear from on the field in real time whether it is even hitting the goal, until it actually goes in. There is just punishment, an automatic red card and a pretty sure shot at the goal. In this case, sure it's obvious, but that is not a judgement that it is acceptable to expect the referee to make. In all cases except something this painfully obvious, that call can't be made. And I would not want to make even this call as a ref, you really have no idea what's happening with shots until it either hits something or flies past.
And yes, it should be a PK for a handling infraction that is not a shot... it's a direct kick in the penalty area, and something that provided an advantage for the defending team... it's the exact same as a foul in the area. It is not an automatic red as SAxor claims, it's situational. A yellow may be more appropriate, but a PK still warranted. If you read the Laws of the Game, nowhere does it say that handling in the area must be a red. The red is for deliberately blocking a obvious goal or goal-scoring opportunity.

Luis Suarez not taking a PK... small blow maybe, but not insignificant.
I'm totally ok with Suarez doing that. I probably would have done the same thing if I had had the brilliance to think of the ramifications and potential benefits so fast. So I really can't force myself to be a hypocrite. The ref saw, the ref acted accordingly, Suarez had to take the chance if his team was going to have any chance of surviving. He hasn't escaped without penalty mind you, he'll have to miss the next match, as well as the PK that was taken and the red card that was given.
