jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The fact that is from the All Star game where he hit an inside the park homer and won MVP makes it even better/funnier to me 110
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Oh look, some actual data! What a concept! 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Carded, autocorrect. Not charged. Thank you in advance. 010
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I think a second yellow is commensurate with the offense if it's diving for a penalty, but I think the rule should be that you don't give one for one out there 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 12/07/2026And the thing in this situation, is that the card only is shown to Embolo BECAUSE the ref finally charged an Argentina player, but did so when they actually shouldn't for once. 1150
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The thing is, the ref still has authority on those calls and needs to know when it's consistent with the match they are calling 170
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Absolutely the worst part of the crew. Henry is great at analysis, and Zlatan is occasionally funny, but they ALL are incredibly bad at the highlights, and have maybe only gotten worse as the tournament has gone on somehow. 010
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I think in most cases they are mixing the broadcast teams, but since the Blue Jays have their own broadcast unaffected by this, I think we are just getting the M's booth. 100
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026And their lack of transparency or any clear protocol allows for whatever conspiracy theory anybody wants to be able to run rampant. 010
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026No clue how much impact Trump may have had or not, though him inserting himself is predictable. Depending on whether somebody thought it was a red or not will likely determine if they think the suspension being lifted was just or not. Either way, FIFA is going to FIFA. 110
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026His red was considered questionable, but regardless it incurs an automatic 1 match suspension with no appeal possible. FIFA has a really ambiguous bylaw that allows them to "suspend" a suspension. They did this for Cristiano Ronaldo before the tournament. 110

jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 03/07/2026More regional, but the Sounders tried the same thing when they entered MLS with Kevin Calabro. Got some extra attention on the team for a bit maybe, but definitely was always an awkward fit. 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I will also point out that I think that VAR has gone a great job in helping take diving out of the game, especially for penalties. It's still there some, but it had gotten really egregious in the years leading up to VAR. 020
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Which is why the rule is important in the first place. I agree that in the VAR era offsides needs to be reexamined in how it's called, I just am not sure how exactly you do it while promoting what the rule itself helps support. 110
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The only exception I personally would have to this is a situation that none of the officials saw. I personally think it's asking a lot of primarily 3 referees to track all 22 players on the field, and if something egregious happens that they don't see, I think it should be able to be reviewed 310
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Those three combined with the midfield they have would be deadly. 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I'll contend the only reason his leg was up there was because of the shoulder challenge from the other player putting him off balance. I'll personally barely accept a yellow on that. 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 01/07/2026And this, with Tielemans being right in front of goal with no other defender in front of him, may be the one time I'm kinda okay with that type of foul leading to a penalty. 010
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Fits the trend I'm seeing with my students. 5 years ago even, most of the gamers had consoles. Now, the only gamers with consoles are sports or Fortnite/free to play gamers. The kids playing a variety of stuff are all on PC. 020
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I could be wrong, but my memory tells me that as you get into the knockouts and matches get tighter, you tend to see more than in the group stage. 000
jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I think the beauty is it's a number of things. 94 men's. 99 women's. ESPN champions league. NBC Premier League. MLS. FM and FIFA. So many potential on ramps to turning people into fans. (FM was huge for me becoming a smarter more invested fan) 020

jjamieson2.bsky.social @jjamieson2.bsky.social · 07/03/2026There are a few recent sports stories that has me convinced that a lot of people only like underdogs until they begin to have consistent success, when they then start to actively hate on them even more than the traditional powerhouses in the sport. And it seems to be across sports, too. 110
