    Euro 2016

    It should be mentioned though that this Iceland team is not like, say, the Faroe Islands team where half the players are amateurs competing in the Faroe league and the other half navigate between the first and second division of the danish league. Iceland is obviously at a demographic...

    Euro 2016

    It felt like the italians would run out of gas before the end and regret being only one goal ahead, but nope. A couple good saves by Buffon, a brilliant counter-attack in stoppage time and voil?. They will be tough to beat.

    Euro 2016

    Italy is playing very very well. Spain is lucky De Gea made a couple great saves (maybe unlucky he did one not so great, but where were the defenders to help him?).

    This is a slight variation onValie Export's Tapp und Tast Kino from 1968! It does not feel that subversive to do it again 50 years later.

    Euro 2016

    That game felt like passing a kidney stone... damn. 115 minutes without a single shot on target must be some kind of (sad) record too.

    Euro 2016

    I am not sure really. Actual extreme right wing parties are close to non existant in Switzerland, mostly because there is a big populist right wing party that got the nationalists/xenophobes covered and since they are terrible but also not total idiots, they know better than to badmouth the...

    Euro 2016

    Consolation prize for Switzerland: Shaqiri scored the best goal of the Euro so far and it will be tough to top. Losing a penalty shoot-out 4-5 is a bit lame, but the lamest thing really is to not have won before it came down to the penalty lottery. They pay an expensive price for a poor first...

    I guess that makes sense, but my surprise comes from the fact Pluto is really tiny and that goes to show that, on Earth, for all our oceans, seas, lakes, clouds, rivers, ice caps and aquifers... there is not that much water.

    The Astronomy Thread

    From the above-linked article: I'll let you check my math but... doesn't that mean there is more water on Pluto than there is on Earth? Earth's water volume is about 1.4 * 10^9 km^3 and with a 300km ice crust on Pluto, even if the top most layer is nitrogen, that's something south of 4 * 10^9...

    NBA 2015-2016 Season thread

    Is it unfair to say that Green's scoring statistics come from the fact he is the third offensive fiddle in the Warriors, so he is not top priority for the defenses he faces? Something that would change tremendously would he be the main guy in a team (like Westbrook in OKC).

    Euro 2016

    It's the 5th/6th referee that is supposed to look at the keeper and with goal line technology it's the only thing he has to do during a penalty kick... maybe the guy called for the very very generous penalty in the first place and felt guilty? Or maybe these guys are just being paid to do nothing...

    Looking at the other side of the coin, the Warriors is the first team in NBA history to lose a final after leading it 3-1. I wonder what kind of impact it will have on the team.

    As far as I am concerned, all jerseys should be like that. That way, you can't be stopped when someone pulls your jersey and it's difficult to not call a penalty when the defender has a third of the attacker's jersey in his fist!

    Euro 2016

    Strange competition for the time being... I am not sure if it's because only 8 of the 24 teams are eliminated in group phase, but not many matches have been entertaining and even less teams have been impressive. I liked what I saw of Croatia, but mostly because of Modric who got injured in the...

    The rights to a Metroid movie were sold years ago to John Woo's production company. Now maybe it was an option or a limited time deal thing or whatever, but it's possible that Nintendo, with or without Disney, can't do a Metroid movie without Woo's production company.

    I understand that. My problem is the scene with the Lord of Riverrun about to get his throat sliced in front of the castle and no one caring about it. In that scene, it sounds like Edmure has no say on what is going on when in fact he has. I understand that the Fray guys are supposed to be...

    I enjoyed the "tell a joke" scene. It both showed how Tyrion was afraid to feel very lonely without Varys and allowed two characters with a perma-frown to smile and who does not like a smiling Nathalie Emmanuel?
