Who knows why Italy struggles when it comes to qualifying for the World Cup but they are currently the 12th ranked team in the world so not having them there just feels wrong. I agree that the qualifiers would lose a bit of their luster if the field was expanded to 64, but group play would essentially become an extension of it. Since the World Cup started, something like 80 teams have qualified so even with a field of 64, it's not like you're letting anyone and everyone with a team in.

I actually think it should expand to 64 teams. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and if you're going to host a tournament every 4 years to crown the best, might as well let as many teams participate as possible. Even with the expanded format, you have teams like Italy, Denmark, Poland and Nigeria who didn't qualify.

This would have never happened if the DOW was over 50,000. 🤔

Maybe things go differently if Rogers challenges that ball 4 call that obviously caught the plate. Tigers still had two challenges, why wouldn't you?

Zach screwed up by taking the time to touch third before throwing it home.

Yeah, CB needs to be put out to pasture.

It isn't just that JV got knocked around in a single game. Just about every advanced stat shows that he was done last year. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/justin-verlander-434378?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

With the JV signing looking like it's going to be a flop, this game becomes even more important as far as knowing what the back half of the rotation is going to look like.

Laettner hit his shot from the free throw line. The most impressive thing about that moment was the inbounds pass. Still one of the most iconic moments in NCAA Tournament history, but it pales in comparison to this one.

Holy crap, what an shot by UConn!!! Bye bye Duke! 🤭

Why is Rodgers even throwing that? Dude had a huge jump and there was no shot at throwing him out.

Trump was a convicted felon by the summer of 2024, seems like that would have been a good reminder.

Some of them only care about new content for their social media profiles, that's a fact. Go ahead and start looking through the profiles of people posting photos from today and I guarantee you'll find old posts proving my point.

I don't think a batter has any idea when it comes to a pitch on the far side of the plate. Unless that pitch is 6 inches outside, they're not going to know it was a ball.

Running on contact when on third is one of those unwritten rules that needs to die.

They didn't remember the lesson learned after Trump's first term, you think they're going to learn it this time around? The same people will find the same dumb reasons to not support whomever gets the nomination. Look around the internet and you'll already see them declaring they won't vote unless their chosen candidate gets the nomination.

I didn't say they were Trump voters.

You know exactly the kind of people I'm talking about. In 2016 they were known as Bernie bros but I'm not sure what they've calling themselves these days. You being so defensive makes me think my comment hit a little too close to home.

I bet half the people at one of these protests today didn't vote for Harris for some made up reason. They care more about getting some sweet protest photos for their socials than anything else.

ABS is already hilarious.

Here's the "mathematical equations" Trump is bragging about getting right.

Neat video covering the ABS system.

I just hope the Wings have Larkin back by Friday night for the game at Buffalo.
