PBP: MLS 2015 Week 9 Running PBP Thread [Multiple R]

Sybil will certainly have something to say about that!

 

Ask Mehdi Ballouchy

 

Obagoal
3-1

 

Beautiful

 

Good God...you're psychic!

 

ObaGol on the double!

3-1 Sounders!

 

His touch sent it so far out, thought he was going to lose it..... Nice finish for obafami

 

Saunders should have come out more.

 

Remember when he was so good for Galaxy........

 

So I just got back back from Age of Ultron - do I bother watching how shit Chicago surely looked at 11 v 11?

 

I heard they won

 

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

 

.@OrlandoCitySC MF Kevin Molino tells me he tore his ACL and will be out for the rest of the season. Had started every game this year.

First half was very entertaining. Second half? Well....make sure you stay away from sharp objects!

 

No, I always thought he was terrible. He put on a good illusion for a bit though.

 

Unlike carlo crapacini, who was just terrible from the get go.

 

And by very entertaining you mean terrible finishing.

 

So...

Those of you that need this explained aren't going to read my post.

The field at Yankee Stadium isn't "postage stamp" sized. It's certainly not 74-75 yards wide, but it's not 68/69 Arrowhead/Giants Stadium yards wide either. Or 67 (maybe) Spartan Stadium (circa 1996) yards wide.

The camera placement creates an optical illusion. the same illusion that affected KCW games at CAB - but not DCU games at RFK.

The problem is the distance between the camera and field is much, much further at Yankee Stadium and CommunityAmerica Ballpark than it is at various SSS, football stadiums, and RFK (with the field going up the near sideline - instead of across the infield and away. To cross the distance, much longer focal lengths are used, these tend to compress the image. Think of the FTL jump scenes in Battlestar Galactica. Those are achieved by changing the focal length of the lens while keeping the subject centered in the image and moving the camera at the same time to keep the character's head the same size - the remaining part of the image changes greatly.

A second problem is that the camera angle is much shallower, which increases the forced perspective, Because of the shallow angle things that are very far behind, might actually show up in the background. Combined with the long focal length, the more distant objects aren't that much smaller in size, either - leading the brain to think they're much closer together.

 

Ugh I wanted that to deflect in really badly

NYC fans throwing things on the field. Class!

 

I wouldn't mind new York stealing points from Seattle, tho probably ain't gonna happen

 

On the Sounders last goal NYCFC goalie should have come out from his goal line to intercept the ball but he just stood there and Martins had his way.

 

Don't they know that's a Canadian thing?

 

Watching NYCFC, and realizing: not enough space, too much traffic, ethically suspect gazillionaire ownership, frontrunning goobers, and a club acting like it's bigger and better than it really is:

this really is New York City FC
