With all of these talks about close title races, I'd like to show you one of the closest title races I ever saw and how my team, Gamba Osaka, won their first title. by Guard01in soccer

No no no. It's more impressive than that. Kashiwa Reysol were relegated to the 2nd division in 2009, won in it 2010 and promoted, then won the first division in 2011.

That got them to the 2011 Club World Cup because Japan were the hosts. They beat the OFC champions league winner, then the CONCACAF champions league winner, then took on Santos in the semifinal but lost 1-3. Also lost the 3rd place match in penalties.

It was a wild couple years. I just wished they could've pulled one more victory over Santos. Imagine them making it all the way to the Club World Cup Final against Barcelona.

Running on a treadmill vs on a track? by cakedestroyerin askscience

You worked your muscles differently. You worked certain ones harder while running outside because you have to propel yourself forward, so they were sore.

"I'd Rather Drink Methamphetamine" And Other Complaints About Soccer Being On ESPN from today by fenrykain soccer

I wouldn't say the people around here are mad about the placement of MLS teams. They just don't care and don't give it a chance. They throw around the same cliche excuses over and over "it's too boring to watch, nothing happens in soccer" "i don't want to watch a draw"

People around here think american football is the only sport on earth. It bothers me that they don't realize that they watch 1 hr of american football in 3.5 hrs of tv time while 1.5 hrs of soccer plays in 2 hrs. Way more action. Somehow 2.5 hours of commercials is entertaining.

Ha. And a lot of people here would like to see it done again. Never underestimate the power of SC ignorance.

We aren't exactly known for our progressive thinking down here in SC.

Study: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice by ryanpsychin politics

[–]Quacktastic69 1 point2 points ago

Was hoping to see some replies to these questions when I looked. Wanted to add one even, and it is somewhat related to your first statement.

Why do Republicans demonize European socialist governments as "entitlement states?" Seems to me (at least by my interpretation of the average Republican's tone) that they see government-funded social programs as undeserved and wasteful. Socialism seems to be doing a damn good job to me. Maybe I am missing something?

Don't mess with Markarth Guards. by JaroSagein skyrim

[–]Quacktastic69 2 points3 points ago

Haha, I'm at 13000 right now.

Last time I was there I killed a ton of them in the Shrine of Talos, and now all the new guards are placed there when I return to Markarth for some reason. So I never have to worry about seeing them anywhere else around town.
