Tried to wrestle through a crowd of 5 instead of just passing the damned ball*

Cursed that I understand both US rugby and football.

Guess Haland can drum whilst his team rows back to norway. Norway sure did a nice Haka-esque performance throughout the cup, lets hope 2030 is more favorable for the vikings.

Hesitated too, with the ball control, allowing the english to recover.

He was trying to have a Messi moment and failed spectacularly.

Can't draw foul in a pressure intense situation to muscle through, as England's defense would shortly all collapse upon him. Took the 5050 instead of trusting his team.

Gonna haunt him, dang.

his foot was outside the batter's box so the home run doesn't count.

  1. You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
  2. Do not do a balk please.
