I think it does. Even if the win out, the best they can do is 3 points and I can't see that being enough to advance.

 

The penalty makes sense though. FIFA had to ensure that Canada doesn't advance, but sending them home altogether would create a competitive imbalance for the rest of the field. By letting them play their final two matches, they ensure that other teams in the group earn their spot(s) in the Knockout stage.

 

What concerns me more is the possibility that the team could lose their Gold from the Tokyo games.


It’s actually not as dire as I thought.

 

Yes it’s tough but a draw tomorrow between New Zealand and Colombia would change alot.

 

All of a sudden a draw against France and a win against Colombia could be enough.

I wouldn’t say highly unlikely. 

 

But yea a lot needs to break their way. 
 

Tomorrow has the potential to significantly change those odds though is all I’m saying.

Mocking religion is funny to you? Would it have been funny if they made fun of Islam?

Dunno, it was funny on it's own.

 

It's kind of funny.....but it's got nothing on "The Penultimate Supper".....

Always got a chuckle out of the bit where Jesus is making the reservation: "Hi, I need a reservation for 26 people please".

 

When they arrive, the Maitre D asks why they needed a reservation for 26, when there are only 13 of them.....

 

"Because we're all going to sit on the same side of the table".....

With the outfit of the Lumberjack, I keep thinking of singing. "I'm an Apostle, and I'm ok...."

Hilarious, yes. 

What's funnier is that those people that are offended by this are totally OK with pictures of depicting Trump as christ or something holy.  That's a true insult to a religion.

Just the first of many for Summer. 

 

Relays later in the day. 

 

 

I'm impressed that she swam in the 400m freestyle and then, about a half hour later, swam as a member of the team in the Women's 4x100 relay.  The recuperative powers of these athletes is remarkable.

anyone questioning Paris's decision and depiction of The Last Supper - in Drag?  

 

Not as much as I'm questioning the six point deduction on our Women's soccer team.

Actually didn't watch the entire opening and missed it.  Still don't think it's a big deal.  Conservatives are such snowflakes. So are Muslims. Charlie Hebdo comes to mind.

Should have been a 3 point deduction.  6 points basically means elimination.  This is now not a fair competion.

You want to compare the violent Islamists who kill LGBQ people and the Charlie Hebdo retaliation massacres to Christians? 

 

France would be burning "more" right now if they did the same to Islam.
