The opposing goalie intentionally let Lionel Messi's free kick go in.

I think he made a cho there. He may have made a choice right there in that moment. I know there's a couple angles where you don't believe it, but then there's like one or two where it's like, oh, he just sold. Like he just, yeah.

There is no evidence the goalie intentionally let the free kick go in; he was just poorly positioned or beaten by the shot.

The US loss to Turkey in the World Cup group stage means absolutely nothing

The second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute, don't really care at all that we lost that game. That game means less than nothing to us. No one's gonna remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group.

The US advanced as the top seed despite the loss, making the result literally irrelevant to their tournament survival.

Belgium's national soccer team isn't that good

I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in Senegal path, I love it.

Belgium had a respectable performance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reaching the quarterfinals before being eliminated by the eventual champions, Spain. This contradicts the take that they are 'not that good.'

VAR makes soccer a lot worse, especially for offsides calls.

I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR it makes a lot of stuff worse. Yeah, the offsides on the VAR is so much worse.

This is a subjective opinion about the impact of VAR on the enjoyment of soccer.

The Tesla-SpaceX Car Is a Lethal Public Weapon

I think we're going zero to 60 in like 0.8 seconds, which just feels like a lethal weapon for the public to have. I don't know how I feel about this. It's cool to see on a track. I don't know if it's gonna be cool to see on a highway.

This is a safety judgment about a proposed vehicle and is inherently evaluative.

Penny Hardaway's roster investment is a genius move

If Penny Hardaway has money, putting two to three million dollars in your roster—if your team does well, you could probably make millions more on your contract. It's actually a genius move. More guys should do it.

Whether this is a genius strategy is a subjective evaluation.
