Cricket is such a funny sport when you only read about it. Like some magic, coded language.
The 2022 Men's T20 WC final between Pakistan and England ended
**137/8, 20 overs** vs. **138/5, 19 overs**.
So, as everybody can see, England won this game by **5 wickets**.
What in the actual fuck?
You have 10 outs as a team and England scored 138 runs at the cost of 5 batters out to beat the opposing score of 137. So that's why they won't by 10-5 = 5 wickets.
If you want to get into the sport there's plenty of franchise T20 leagues nowadays, the US one starts its season soon. I'd recommend those, they're usually very entertaining
You do have a team that's going to be playing in the pre qualifiers in July for (qualification for the next tournament in 2026). You're in a group with Germany (hosts), Gibraltar, Norway and Slovenia.

> Volkswagen will not sponsor next year’s Euro 2024, hosted in its home market of Germany, after deciding not to extend a deal covering Uefa’s men’s national team football competitions for ‘cost discipline’ reasons, SportBusiness can exclusively reveal.
We’ll revive this for the 2026 World Cup, but instead of tiny remote control cars they’ll be decommissioned tanks ready to be gifted to a local police department.
Shame BYD didn't build its own version of it. Must admit it was quite cute.
Hyundai and KIA, you better prepare your own version of it for 2026!
Btw, almost insulting that Volkswagen, a German car manufacturer, isn't sponsoring the Euro held in GERMANY.
What’s the fucking point of anything then
The Cricket World Cup at the minute has a tiny van driving the ball on the pitch, if you need your fix.
Mate, you can't support an insect

Its always nice to see another abahani fan!
Tournament itself has been great too
the pitches have been quite questionable tbh
That's only really been New York but even that's given us some really entertaining matches
Nah fuck that. It's incredibly fun to see run a ball games. The excitement is much more than seeing batsmen just keep hitting sixes.
Fuck no ( Im Pakistani)
On the other hand, it's cricket.
Don't care cricket's lit
I might be ignorant but arent the matches really long?
Depends on the format. The current World Cup is T20, which usually runs about 4 hours. ODIs run around 6-8 hours and test matches can be up to 5 days
Ok then I might have watched if Sweden had a team

How long are real mat.. Nevermind
The World Cup that is ongoing, is a format which is about 3 hours long.
It’s a cargo lorry!

This is my 9/11
Sir, a second communicado official has hit
comunicado oficial, you fraud
He Americanized it
communicado officialo brah
We found the imposter, detain him
Shouldn’t it be your 11/9 since that’s how the write dates in UK/Europe?
No, this tragedy is so big, only 9^th November can describe it correctly.
> that’s how the write dates in UK/Europe Also the rest of the world, except for 13 countries.
I accept month before day only if it means year before month. The IT way
It makes absolutely no sense to do it any other way I'm sorry
Don't say that it reminds me of that tragedy.
You were supposed to Never Forget.
I'll never forget walking through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother. He was in Northern Canada.
Always and forever will Norm references be upvoted. Thanks for the chuckle haha
But 9/11 was a national tragedy. *it's a Norm reference, fellas.
Why? What happened on the 9th of November?
Everything.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 speaking as a Canadian and Ontarian that place is a bitch to deal with.
It was a Porsche?
Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened. We'll always the memories from previous Euros.
That's it I'm boycotting Volkswagen
Well, hitler did inspire the beetle.
Hitler founded the Beatles?
🎶we all live in a yellow U-boat🎶
Gauleiter Streicher's Lonely Hearts Club
It's always the Scousers
not surprised
I will drive a tiny car on the pitch, you can thank me later
The hero we need in 2024, well done.
That would be nice. I am supporting you.
my man really saving football, first Ligue 1 now the tiny car
how the hell Volkswagen won't sponsor a tournament that is in Germany? then they complain about the NT leaving to Nike
They still sponsor the national team just don't want to deal with UEFA. Can you really blame them for that?
Yes I can. Dealed with them last tourney when it wasn't in Germany

Thank you for the explanation. Now, I understand better.

If they don't replace the car with someone dressed as a Hisense refrigerator delivering the ball to the match referee, I'll riot.
The spiritual successor to West Brom's boiler man.
Even a front loading washing machine that gives birth to the match ball from the front hatch is fine
#GAMES GONE
what else will the woke mob steal from us
The volk mob.
Football's walking home.
Might as well not watch the Euros then
Then how will Shaqiri enter the pitch?
Hahaha
Just smashed my phone in anger because of this
Just fell on my knees at Aldi
Not watching now. Fucking disgrace
We’ll revive this for the 2026 World Cup, but instead of tiny remote control cars they’ll be decommissioned tanks ready to be gifted to a local police department.
Lorrnzo Insingne in shambles
you can’t drive a tiny car on the pitch anymore. because of woke.
can we get the jet pack guy who delivered the ball at Soccer Aid yesterday?
Don't touch him. He's hot. Olympics reference, anyone?
Why tf did I not see any highlights
Just get the[ remote toy cars with flares instead](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1at156x/remote_controlled_toy_cars_equipped_with_flares/)
Game’s gone lads
Feel like pure shit, just want my mini id4 back.
Game's gone
I saw it on Saturday since VW sponsors the U.S. national teams. It seems to be doing well.
First they came for the tiny Volkswagen's, and I did not speak for I was not a tiny Volkswagen's.
and BYD of all companies!? im gonna throw up. lets hope the car doesnt catch fire on the pitch lmao
Catch fire, locks the passenger in, malfunctioning self-driving mode.
[Get Whizzy Rascal on it. ](https://youtu.be/Atb0_XkSldY?si=6XVzRdIFV59E6WwI)
Do Volkswagen hold the rights to small cars?
Just saw a man fall to his knees in netto
It’s joever
Shame BYD didn't build its own version of it. Must admit it was quite cute. Hyundai and KIA, you better prepare your own version of it for 2026! Btw, almost insulting that Volkswagen, a German car manufacturer, isn't sponsoring the Euro held in GERMANY.
Just cut my TV’s power cord. Now it’s a black mirror decor thanks to Volkswagen.
Did they drop out the last minute?
A tiny Leopard2 tank will be sent instead with "Euro2024 without Pootin" advertising parading the barrel
I was thinking they should be sponsoring the tournament since it is being hosted in Germany.
https://youtube.com/shorts/l5fL2c8HjRY?si=t-mIig-_us3J4x35
Games gone
But it's literally IN Germany, what a wasted opportunity
At best it'll be some stupid giant tiny Audi
Aight this the last straw ,I'm offing myself
BYD will do it
Why did my eyes just well up?
Just fell to my knees in a JD
Welp pack it up folx games well and truly gone.
[What happened to the game I love?](https://youtu.be/k-oP3KFe4ko?si=QlATY9IcoYq-FhgM)
News, as in, known for months.
What a terrible day for rain.
What??? How am I supposed to watch Euro 2024 without the funny little car
Can we get an “Unlicensed remotely controlled four wheeled vehicle” to do it instead? DONT LET THE FLAME DIE OUT
Can we get 2 guys dressed as Knights as replacement?
Oh no. That is a big loss.
I think BYD is the big sponsor I'm sure they got some tiny electric cars
[удалено]
Word for word
Oh no, anyways
idgaf
Damn, hopefully there's gonna be another marketing stunt barely disguised as news that the rubes can get excited about.
