HOLY SHIIIIEEEEEET!! That penalty shootout has broken my face! I literally went numb all over and my face has only just started regaining any sort of feeling again

Penalties... so long England.

The first part of his response... How is that not addressing the issue?!

So I just read the interview and all I can say is that tweet is ridiculously sensationalist! He said they're having discussions about it internally and then goes on to say that he feels this is an issue that also needs to be dealt with industry wide and that he hopes discussions with Phil Spencer and Microsoft can continue. How the hell is that saying "It's not our problem" Ridiculous!

Well no, I'm sure he meant to kick it elsewhere but that's irrelevant, he still deliberately attempted to play the ball.

I don't think the player is offside in your example. If the defender makes a deliberate attempt to play (not block) the ball and it then falls into the path of an attacker then he will be onside as it is effectively the defender that has passed the ball to the attacker. As far as I'm aware anything that happens leading up to the defender playing the play is ignored. I remember something similar occurring in the premier league during the last season where there were debates about whether a goal should have been given or not but the touch from the defender was an attempted block that took a slight deflection into the path of the attacker. As it was an attempt to play the ball (e.g. pass it to another player) the goal was rightfully ruled offside. Admittedly I haven't seen the Germany highlights so can't comment on that specific example but from your description it sounds like it was a deflected attempted block in which case it would still be offside as far as my understanding goes. Edit: Just watched the highlights. Absolutely right that the goal stood. I thought from your description that the only German touch has when it went through the defenders legs, but it was Tony Kroos who clearly and deliberately played the ball through the other defenders legs.

Whilst I like the look of this game I think that press conference showing was really poor and hasn't hyped me up at all. The music in the trailer didn't work for me - it seems like they tried to sync it up with gunshots and explosions but in the end they just ended up bastardising a great song. They then had the Q&A which I wasn't a fan of. They talked about how there were four different javelins but then only discussed the scout and colossus which seemed really weird. I think they should have just focused on one aspect of the game rather than trying to talk about lots of different things and in the end not really saying anything at all.

It's actually Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Makes the name work a little better but the whole announcement was still pointless - just wait until you actually have something to show!

I've got a SNES mini that I've never got around to opening (it's still in it's shipping box ). Been meaning to sell it for ages, so if you're after one you can have that.

Okay I have to ask, what is with people changing their avatar to some sort of toiletry brand logo? Have I missed something? And to stay on topic, I think this is a terrible idea and the worst possible console to try it on, even if it's playable at home over good wifi the second you take it somewhere and try to use public wifi you would have no chance of it working.

Just got back from seeing it, majorly disappointed... I think it was too much action and not enough comedy for me, and even the comedy that was there didn't really hit. I watched the first last night and still much prefer that.

I absolutely loved this film, it gave me everyone that I wanted. I have now seen it four times and still want to see it again

I have never seen another forum/social media site that does it like this though. On Facebook/Twitter/Instagram it's just line breaks as well as other forums (admittedly I don't frequent many) I go to, so no, it's not standard. I can understand if you were writing articles using this but when you're just making (mostly) short posts on a forum that very rarely need any type of fancy formatting I think it's worse than how it was before. Also the silent majority probably don't care either way.

It may confuse people for 5 seconds but since it will be changing it back to how it was for years and years I don’t see how it be a problem.

Replace Liverpool with Barcelona and the EXACT same thing was being said a month ago. Man City couldn’t do it because they only know how to play one way which left them open to counter attacks, Roma at home are a different kettle of fish.
