    football thread No11

    I reach very different conclusions. What you seem to say is that some pundits used to say stupid things about south american football and are now more nuanced. I'd say that this is more of a sign that most pundits are stupid and don't know anything about what they're talking about. Anyone with...

    PSG fans don't care about the Botafogo loss. PSG just won its first ever champion's league, so nothing matters now life is 100% bliss. For fans of other french clubs (like me) it was just funny for PSG to lose to a club owned by the owner of Lyon, who is a known moron.

    Timezone differences are not helping. I might have been interested in PSG-Botafogo, but the game was at 3AM.

    football thread No11

    Northern hemisphere outdoors sports is a nightmare. Rugby and football both stop for a while then, and for good reason. I remember the 13:00 august games I went to : they were always very poor, and the players were clearly struggling. Also, from a viewer point of view, it's good to have some...

    I'm not sure what the end goal is for this club world cup. It has a million less pros than cons, and is clearly not thought through. The crowds in american stadiums are minimal, the TV audiance is low, the players are losing some much needed rest for an obvious cash grabbing scheme by FIFA and...

    Let's discuss Mathematics

    The thing is, non-coordinate geometry is always much harder. Also "being the only possibility" in geometry is particularly hard to prove. In such situations, either you have the answer or you don't. It's much rarer to have an idea without knowing how it goes with problems like these, in algebra...

    The European Project: the future of the EU.

    People have found newspapers from the day after the 1998 world cup win saying there was 1 death and more than a hundred wounded in the celebrations. Below this saturday's numbers, but it's definitely not a new thing.

    Any proof that seems complicated enough to not be read in its entirety by the reader is a proof by intimidation.

    The European Project: the future of the EU.

    There are several factors that explain it. First, it's become a tradition of sorts for people who are celebrating something big, particularly when it comes to football, to become unhinged and to do things that are either unsafe or potentially damaging to private or public property. For example...

    Was there any realistic or worthwhile French goal in the peninsular war?

    I don't know much about the spanish war (french education has a lot to cover, and there's already a lot to talk about in the 1789-1815 era), but from what I understand Napoleon discarded his diplomats' warnings about the Bayonne meetings where he forced both contestants into abdication. He...

    The European Project: the future of the EU.

    Yeah but saying things like "they want to install sharia law in France" when 8 to 10 percent of the population is muslim, and not many of those having hardline views of some kind, is laughable.

    The European Project: the future of the EU.

    The report literally states that the Muslim Brotherhood has very few supports in France (but that those very few are trying to gain some momentum). That has been the situation for the past 20 or 30 years, so not particularly of note. Retailleau is trying to create a false emergency out of this...

    Let's discuss Mathematics

    The common definition of "lowest common multiple" states that it's the lowest common positive multiple, but if you don't take that part into account I would say there is no lowest common multiple. You define a multiple of A as a number B where there exists another integer K for which A times K =...
