Ah. Clearly I have not paid enough attention. Why is ice dance an Olympic event then?

Is ice dance not the same as figure skating?

I always assumed there was a matrix with all the different possible jumps and twirls and other moves graded by difficulty, and you got points based on execution and difficulty, with some extra points for style. Is it really just all vibes?

I think it's more that they sincerely believe the voters sincerely believe it will improve their communities. Which isn't corruption either and is what our political system incentivizes.

Dammit Jim, they're reporters, not journalists!

You can't "lose a second half".

Looking forward to coverage of the Whitecaps as "Canada's team" through the rest of the playoffs.

I'd rather have him than Mudryk.

Tbf my point was that he consistently produces even when he/the team don't play well.

And yet he scored.

That's the rule, a dropped ball in the box always goes to the goalkeeper.

There is nothing in the laws of the game about "getting the ball". You can 100% touch the ball and still commit a foul.

The keeper got a tiny touch on the ball. That's not getting the ball. Touching the ball is not a get out of jail free card for committing a foul.

If the referee has to watch it 3000 times then it wasn't a clear and obvious error.
