@rickedwards1.bsky.social It was obviously a twin-hulled catamaran with its sail - you have no vision ;)

@rickedwards1.bsky.social You're totally right, shambolic, amateurish substitutions & changes. A pathetic implosion.
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social 26 minute half time "so mad" - everything FIFA are willing to do is so mad (if it makes money) - the next World Cup will likely be 64 teams
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Never mind the rest - England just have to refuse to lose to a team with such an awful font on thieir shirt - those numbers are hideous - especially the 8
@rickedwards1.bsky.social No, you're smarter than that - Egypt shouldn't have been 3-0 up - your news guy said the same thing. Their 2nd goal was after the disallowed one - after which the gameplay changes - so the 3rd would not automatically have come about. Should have been VAR for the pen though
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Yes, old & young Dutch cheese, pretty normal names here. The old stuff has developed tasty calcium lactate crystals and more
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Harry Maguire takes excellent penalties
@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social Remembering now, you did mention you had a scooter accident in Germany - but didn't give any details.
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Weather in Mexico City Sunday/Monday max 23
@rickedwards1.bsky.social And England at the Azteca - no problem with the altitude, they were doing fine in 1986 but for the little Argentine cheat
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Hope you have some good stats on teams occupying & hugging the penalty spot for the show tomorrow. Another Senegal special, doing only what they can do (unfortunately)
@rickedwards1.bsky.social I bet Harry Kane would tell you he doesn't care about the Golden Boot -- he wants, needs one thing: the trophy. Scoring a hatful of goals is a bonus -- and obvs helps win games. The others scoring makes for a much better team -- so here's to a hat trick for Rice tonight!

What's Going On With Ebola?
One month after the outbreak was first detected, things are looking rough

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Did I hear you say you hate the change of group tiebreakers, away from goal difference? I.e. Teams winning the groups after just 2 gams being nonsense; because it is nonsense. I'd saythe heart of any problem is 3 pts for a win - a terrible system for 'short leagues'
@rickedwards1.bsky.social People my age didn't need to pretend to be Scottish -- in the 1970s all little English boys were Scotland fans. There was a (Colleen) McEdwards on CNN -- that name sounds American-made to me, not Scottish
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Worst thing England do is all that tippy-tappy shit near the 6 yard box - asking for trouble; and gave away an early corner. But then they've always done too much pass back to the central defenders crap

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Japan haven't got far - but they nearly beat Belgium in last 16 in 2018 - probably the best game of the tournament
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Your radio fluff head loves calling it 'ye' -- your pub quizzing/trivia nerd head hates that you didn't know it's a thorn! But you're clearly having a blast there.
@charlottealter.bsky.social Yep, that's how he got the fictional peace prize -- lots of back scratching ...
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 2mo agoI'm mortified by how the Trump administration is openly discriminating against officials, players, and fans from around the world--cancelling visas, invasive searches, detainments, racism, etc.--but none of it's surprising. He's a white supremacist, and FIFA are bootlickers.
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Wondering why you'll be based in LA when England are playing in the East - and based around KC? Just BBC sport HQ is it?
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social Bartlett on optimisation -- he may have learned some things about healthy living -- but his time on Dragon's Den shows that he knows little to nothing about good, basic, healthy nutrition -- he jumps on all the fads like the others

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Well done for not saying "Sophie, stop being a simpleton" Any kind of idiotic maths phobia needs to be wiped out - it's just encouraging people to be daft(er)
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social New World Cup format - just double what it was last time in the US, 1994 - easy.
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Yep, AI is so incredibly useful for many things - especially for always curious people like you - you'd be wise to add it to life for plenty of things you want to learn about quickly. Ignoring its existence is a bit weird at this point
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social Does the Moon want to be built on? No, it really doesn't. it should be treated as the most pristine 'national park' forever. But yes, cool to be able to make a base possible. (Hundreds of km^2 too - write the plans - then don't implement them)
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Sounds like you need to book a trip to the Galápagos -- a fabulous place even without the new octopus
