🚨 How players run when the connection is good EA needs to fix the server issues. Regarding AI defending, count the number of blocks and interceptions made by non-controlled players during FC PRO, then compare it to online matches with a bad connection. Also, look at the end of... the video and see what Theo is doing. He moves away from the striker even though there is no threat on the wing. In a bad connection situation, if your attack is delayed by just one second, what should have been a penalty won't be given, and it would result in an interception instead. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the game is perfect. I hate tackling from behind, the L1 boost skyrocketing, and first-time through balls, but I can't defend a lie. The "Shadow Patch" theory is a lie. The servers are terrible. The excessive number of animations in attack is also terrible. We want a simple, fast, and fun game. We don't need millions of animations that interact poorly on these overloaded servers.show more

Not a single pro believes the gameplay has been shadow patched. People will come up with a new conspiracy theory that EA didn't shadow patch the pro games but did for everyone else 🤣🤣

Doesn't explain how Puyol catches Mbappe from over 30 years away both at full sprint

It doesn't catch in a good connection. In the clip, we have defenders like Haaland with 90 Pace who can't catch players.

Spot on. Some people are just confusing bad gameplay for a ghost patch. Gameplay doesn't need fixing, the servers do.

Journalist: "Does Vinicius need to learn how to behave differently?" José Mourinho: "I think we also need to learn how to behave with him. And I'm also talking about the referees. You can't give a penalty to some players, and then not give the same penalty if it is Vinicius. You can't protect some players, and not protect Vinicius. On the pitch, they must look at Vinicius like they look at the other players, even though Vinicius is better than the others. The referees don't respect Vinicius." "In terms of the stadiums… one thing is to celebrate a goal with your fans, another is to celebrate in front of the rival fans. You can find a balance there. But what sense does it make for stadiums in which he never played, to have fans whistle him straight away, even if he's never played in that stadium. Why would the whistle one of the best players in the world when they have nothing to be mad about? Why would they whistle him from the first time he touches the ball? We must find balance, because to see Vinicius play is a privilege."

A very harsh threat, made by Netanyahu toward Iran. What is behind the heightened tone? It is not only harsh, it is also unusual. The event that took place in recent months was a paralyzing fear of what is called miscalculation. They will think that we will attack first, even though that was not the intention, and then they will attack, and the entire region will be dragged into another round of confrontation. In a region where there is fear of miscalculation, you are not supposed to announce this kind of thing in the Knesset. I just want to make that clear. Yesterday, Naftali Bennett promoted his press conference on the conditions of soldiers, okay? He gets six million views because the timing looks like a countdown and he is a former prime minister, so the Iranians are in hysterics that he is actually announcing that they are going to attack. That’s the atmosphere. So when Netanyahu attacks like this and makes an unprecedented threat—not only harsh but also unusual—one can’t help but think that for Netanyahu there is a message, or something more problematic than miscalculation. And he wants to warn the Iranians. Now, what’s the issue? The issue is that if the Iranians come to the conclusion that their regime is on the verge of collapse, there is one thing that might save them. And that is an attack on Israel. Because we saw during the war what is called “rally around the flag.” Even those who were in the opposition rallied around the flag when their country was attacked. It is not only the Islamic Republic that is under attack, but also the Islamic Republic of Iran. That is essentially the issue, and that is what Netanyahu, in my opinion, is trying to stop with the threat he issued after the security discussion.

ELON: GOVERNMENTS ARE GROWING OUT OF CONTROL "The government's role is to ensure that the playing field is a good playing field, that there are good rules. And what happens over time, though, is government keeps growing and at a certain point, you have more referees than players on the field. And then, the game is not good. I'm not saying you don't need referees, but you don't want the referees to outnumber the players. So, just make sure that fair games are being played, that there are sensible rules and don't get in the way of the players. And the results will be excellent."

Chamath: Fraud at this scale will end the American Empire if nothing is done “It is a crucible moment for American society.” “If nothing happens and we deem this kind of theft acceptable, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire.” “It's just a level of disrespect and lack of care for this country.” “I will be waiting and observing how important it is to root this out, that's number one.” “The second, which is more tactical political calculus, this is an enormous opportunity for the Republican Party if they take this and run with this.” “Is there waste, fraud and abuse in every state? Absolutely. I don't think this is endemically a Democratic problem, but the scale of it is so gargantuan in these Democratic states that if the Republicans don't take advantage of it, I think it is a huge political miscalculation.” “So there is this tactical opportunity, which I think if you want to have a chance in the midterms and if you generally wanna have a chance to level-set the country, you must take this and run with it.” “And then separately, if as Friedberg says, it does die on the vine, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire, unfortunately.”

Steve Jobs on startup hustle: "One of the things I don't see is, I don't see it myself, I don't see it in enough of the rest of us, is I don't see that startup hustle. In other words, if we zoom out at the big picture, it would be a shame to have lost the war because we've won a few battles. And I sort of feel like I and some of the rest of us are concentrating too much on the smaller battles. And we're not keeping the war in perspective. And the war is called survival. The war is called not run out of money until we get our product on the market."

Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time. One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is: ‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’. Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is. The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%? Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball. The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇 🎥 Chicago Bulls

Let's talk Chiefs run game and RPOs, volume up on this. There's a lot I don't discuss TBF, but this is about what the lack of a consistent run game allows a defense to do and what it takes away from the players. This is objectively a great play/result! But is it best for this O?

In the context of the game; if both of these tackles are fouls and a ball headed on to an arm is a penalty, how is this challenge on Raskin not a penalty? I think we know the answer. But the club just goes along with it.

ELON: THE PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE WHAT'S IMPORTANT, NOT A HANDFUL OF EDITORS "I don't think there should be a gatekeeping function by a small number of individuals. For newspapers in America, there are about five editors that decide what gets put on the front page, or what to focus on, or what not to focus on. And most of the other papers just copy them, essentially. But is that really what we want? Do we want a handful of people deciding what they think is important? Or should it be the people who decide what's important? And I think it should be sort of an organic thing, where the people decide what's important and what to focus on, not just a handful of editors. They don't like the fact that this power has been taken away from them. But I think it should be." Source: European Jewish Association, January 2024

Joe Burrow when asked about his thoughts if keeping the status quo with Zac Taylor and Duke Tobin at the helm is the plan for 2026 in Cincinnati: "Number one, I think we have great coaches. I think we are consistently put in position to make plays and do our best. Obviously, there are good games and bad games, just like players have good games and bad games. But, I have a lot of confidence in everybody who is putting together the plans for us week in and week out." "That is not to say that changes don't need to be made. Not saying personnel or people, I am just saying what we have been doing hasn't worked the past couple years. We need to think outside the box and get creative about where we go from here."

🚨 Pedro Neto on shushing Reece James in Chelsea win over Fulham. 🎙️Reporter: Pedro, there’s a clip going around of you putting your finger to your lips at Reece James after he told you to track back. Some fans say it showed a lack of respect for the captain. How do you see it? 🗣️Pedro Neto: I have no issue with Reece speaking. A captain should speak. That is part of the role. The question is how it is done. When you are already in position and the instruction has been given, repeating it loudly in front of the crowd does not add anything. I understood him the first time. The gesture was simply confirmation that the message had arrived. Nothing more. Leadership is not volume. It is timing and method. I have played under different captains and different managers. The ones who get the best from players do most of the talking away from the cameras. On the pitch they organise, they do not lecture. I have been a professional long enough. I know when to track back and when my job is to stay high and stretch the play. I do not need a public lesson every time something happens behind me. That is not how senior players communicate. We won the game. That is the only result that matters. Reece and I will continue as we always have. I respect the armband. I also know exactly what I bring to this team and what options exist for me. That is not arrogance. That is simply reality.

Even worse is the demoralization op of the left and the “Horseshoe Right”- an effort to convince us that our country is rotten to the core. “The bigger lie is the lie that he is propagating – it’s a lie that the left is also propagating. It’s a lie that America is a terrible place that’s filled with nefarious forces beyond your control that are actually in control of your life and wrecking America.”

🎙️In the last month, we’ve seen Arda Güler starting from a slightly deeper position. It feels like it has been harder for him to make an impact and influence the game. What is your analysis of this? 🗣️ Xabi Alonso: I think Arda has the ability to play at different heights on the pitch and to have different kinds of influence, depending on what the team needs. He has a very good touch, he knows how to organize the play, and he also knows, in the decisive phase - when you're already in the final third - how to give the final pass, and even arrive a bit from the second line. The goal against Valencia came from a run he made, and then he crossed to Kylian. It depends on what we have around him, on the players next to him. He can adapt, and that quality gives us flexibility in our game plans. But Arda is growing a lot, and I think I said it at the Club World Cup: we need to invest a lot in Arda because he is a special player, a different player. We need to demand more from him, but we also need to understand the different phases he goes through, support him, and push him hard so he keeps performing at the level he is showing - and he can still improve, without a doubt.

🏛️ Democratic Senator Van Hollen on the U.S.-Iran MOU: “This agreement is a bow to reality. The terrible reality that many of us predicted would unfold if we started this illegal war in the first place. The war was a blunder, we should recognize that. There is no good way to end a bad war. And we should end it. Those pushing to continue the war in Iran & lobbying against the deal should answer a simple question: What is your alternative?… I want peace to prevail. And I hope this MOU becomes a foundation of a broader diplomatic settlement. But I also hope we learn something from this needless tragedy… The calls for military adventurism… the fantasies of regime change.. and the endless effort to undermine diplomacy led us to this disaster.”

Arteta says the Premier League is a 'different world' compared to Bundesliga and Ligue 1: “Well, there is something that when I look at that game, the Bayern - PSG, it's probably the best game I have ever witnessed on the quality of two teams, and especially the individual quality that the players deliver. I've never seen something like this. “But when I look at the amount of minutes and the freshness of those players, then I'm not surprised. To deliver those moments of quality you have to be very fresh, and the difference in the leagues and the way they're competing is night and day, and you just have to see a lot of stats that have been recently around it. “We are competing in two different worlds, so you cannot compare one part of that without giving any context to that. I don't think it's fair.”

"In a fantasy or science fiction story, you can get away with one big lie. You can include one thing that's convenient for the author in order to make the plot work. In Children of Time, the question is 'what if a species of a spider developed a society, civilization, and technology. But the big lie is literally that there is a nanovirus is assisting the uplift of the spiders, and the lie is the amount of time that'll take. Because of the nanovirus, that happens in tens of thousands of years rather than hundreds of millions of years, which you would need by evolution. People need to read a book and think 'that's a thing that could happen.' It gives your book a weight and gravity that it would not have if it was magic talking spiders. So in order to support your One Big Lie, everything else needs to be true." — Adrian Tchaikovsky

People need to read a book and think 'that's a thing that could happen.' It gives your book a weight and gravity that it would not have if it was magic talking spiders. So in order to support your One Big Lie, everything else needs to be true." — Adrian Tchaikovsky
