The video ends before the game finishes. Where's the rest

[@yericgarcia8510]

This is a beautiful game

[@juanjoalonso5850]

where is the enddddd

[@solfeinberg437]

25:40 - the chess metaphor needs some work - all of a sudden your pawn has turned into a King? A King? Not a queen?

[@griffinmeans8436]

20:05 - “3rd girl, uhh, third goal for Jimmy Mickle!”

[@richarddavis8889]

another USAU video that ends before the game is over. this makes me sad :(

[@emegradel9464]

Why end the video before the end of the game?? Seriously... thumbs down for that.

[@darrensmith9035]

24:43 what a throw. Talk about turn and shoot.

[@o1freed]

Darren Smith check out 2016 US vs Japan at WUGC - Masahiro Matsuno is also unbelievably good at this

[@zoodledoopdoop]

31:41 Clearly in.

[@solfeinberg437]

Not sure that was the single best view - but yeah, clearly in. Such a shame. Although they held that point.

[@barrel9979]

Front of the stack double jab, nasty 34:35

[@solfeinberg437]

Does Hunter Taylor play for Ring? Where's he? Why is he not being discussed. He's good for some D's.

[@michaelchisholm2981]

Looking back, was this the game that broke Jonathan Nethercutt?

Who wins this game?!?!

25:40 "all of the sudden your pawn has turned into a king" lol

[@floriangailliegue6760]

@@GP-qi1ve that's not the point of @Stationary Spinnaker I think. A pawn cannot promote into a king.

[@floriangailliegue6760]

@@GP-qi1ve I know that but I'm saying you can't promote into a king chess.

[@solfeinberg437]

10:30 - don't you have to set your pivot foot and then tap the disc? Not tap the disc set the foot and throw. This looks unfair to the defense.

[@danielgajohnson]

The defense can begin counting the stall as soon as the player catches the disc. Watch the replay and you'll see the Ring defender starting his stall count even though the disc is not within the playing field. If you are on defense and you try and layout for a block, but the offensive player also lays out and catches the disc inside the field of play, you should start your stall count before either of you hit the ground. As soon as the disc stops rotation and you are within 3 meters of the person with the disc, start counting.

[@solfeinberg437]

@@danielgajohnson What does this have to do with my comment. I'm talking about tapping the disc in after running out, and then setting a pivot foot. It comes a few seconds after the time I put above.

[@danielgajohnson]

@@solfeinberg437 Ok, I understand your question now. As per USAU rules, you are correct. The proper sequence of events to put the disc back into play again after an in-bound player with the disc becomes out-of-bounds is establishing a pivot first, and then tapping the disc in. This is from Chapter IX, Section H.4 and Chapter XIII, Section B of the 11th Edition of the Rules.

[@pugsnhogz]

@10:40 can you do that? ground tap after returning to playing field from OB, take a step before plant and throw--is that legal?

[@solfeinberg437]

That was my question. Pretty sure you need to set your pivot foot (in bounds, of course - or on the edge?) and then tap, right? Otherwise when and where does the defense set up?

[@disccovered6392]

Agreed, that was some goofiness right there.

[@bupkaplan]

1:01:12 really nice way to play the confusion of the switch

[@stencil25]

39:35 Yeahhh, that was like 7 seconds tops. Can the observer not count? wtf is this

[@muizluciscaelum6190]

i counted 9 though

[@stencil25]

@@muizluciscaelum6190 use the seconds on the video player timeline

[@curtisclack9067]

@@stencil25 catch at 24s throw at 33s is 9 seconds. If I count in my head I get to 8 stalls before he throws starting when I would have started the stall count. Also the professional league only has 7 second Ref count because its about equal to 10 seconds of player counting. I agree fast count on this play but its close enough to not hate on the observer imo.

[@solfeinberg437]

That did seem a bit fast - I got to nine and felt like I was counting a little fast. Under the heat of play, though, it's easy to count fast. I wonder about that Mickle play where he held the disc for well over 10 seconds.

[@justinmckeen6294]

its the responsibility of the thrower to call fast stall, if the mark gets to 10 even if it's fast count the observer has to respect the throwers decision to not call fast count

[@amoshhh]

31:25 that call by the observer is bullshit

[@chuf2773]

39:46 :)

[@indiaindiemusic]

Huh. I'm actually the first viewer of this video. This has never happened :-O

[@Virminator]

Hi Sohan, fancy seeing you here!

[@austinlillis2703]

I’m convinced ultimate is rigged unless someone can explain how jimmy held the disc for 12 seconds and the Mark was not close enough for him to call one of his notorious contact calls

[@krissyscxx]

Austin Lillis that doesn’t mean it’s rigged it could just mean he doesn’t know how to ocunt

[@sjhdfbasndf986]

32:50 that's called "flopping" in soccer
