Bit of context as well for the Antwerp goal. It was scored by Toby Alderweireld who was born in and supports Antwerp. He always said before he retired he would finish his playing career at Antwerp and now he’s brought them their first championship in 66 years.
Also he's a center back, a position which rarely scores and generally doesn't have great offensive skills. It is sort of like a center would hit a fade-away three pointer to beat the buzzer in basketball
You missed the whole story behind the Antwerp goalscorer. That’s Toby Alderweireld who had a great career and was one of the most highly rated centre backs in the world at one point. He’s back at his boyhood club, he’s a DEFENDER, and he scored the goal that won them their first league title in like 60/70 years!
To me this is a big show for JM, maybe it’s still growing, but I think the people would watch 10-15 min worth of this stuff.

Also, could we get at the beginning the fan of the week winner from the previous week, how do we know our votes mattered?

@@eoinmoore2750 Aldeweireld. Also apparently had a breakout scoring year. The game winner was his 7th on the season. Additionally, the Belgian league doesn't just have a tourney with the top 4 teams. Every block of 4 teams has a tourney, and the last 2 teams are put into a bracket with the top 2 teams from the lower division to see who moves/stays up. It's chaos.
I have no idea how ANYONE scores in lacrosse...there's a dude the size of a Uhaul truck guarding a net the size of a slice of bread AND there are two other dudes standing in front too. No idea.
Looks like he hit it off the end of the bat too. In college during the relaxed fall season sometime our coach was not around and the captains ran the practice,. We cranked up the batting machine as fast as it would go. I would guess mid80s. I broke a bat just like that. I was a freshman so all the other upper classmen were stunned. Who is this new guy they never saw it happen before. I have not either. Side note: I pole vaulted in high school and broke 4 poles, 1 jr year and 3 my sr year so there is that...
I have worked at a college and from time to time had to go to the baseball field and have found several aluminum bats in 2 pieces. I thought the same thing, what in the Hulk smash happened turns out from talking with the coach quality isn't what it used to be back in the day it's so that the school spends more money on equipment according to the coach which makes sense
i like how jomboy spends a minute talking about the real fan of the week and doesn't even put him on the list, come on antwerp soccer dude, that's my vote]
2:59 Are non-goalie players allowed to stand in the goal? If so...why not just have 2 players + the goalie block every inch of the goal and never give up a point?
@@gregorylagrange It could have been. However, the back official started to signal for a crease violation, which would have stopped the play before the shot was ever made. (I didn't see the game live, so don't know if this was the actual call or not.)
Weird situation in Serie A this weekend as they account for goal difference in placings at the top of the league table but at the bottom for some bizarre reason they do not. Spezia finished above the final relegation place on goal difference meaning survival pretty much anywhere else, but as their points total was equal to Verona’s below them, they played a one-off, ‘loser gets relegated’ game on Sunday. Verona won 3-1.
Re the belgian soccer. 5min earlier it was actually the 3rd team Union who were gonna win the title, they were winning 1-0 but blew it copping late goals, which then put Genk in (shortlived) position to win the title until THAT goal.
Metal bats break when the construction of the bat is built in two pieces joined by a connector. A point of failure that doesn’t exist with one piece bats. Breaking a two piece bat is impressive. Breaking a one piece bat is almost superhuman.
I had a one piece bat break in highschool. Not only did the barrel break off from the handle, but there was a long thick crack running the length of the barrel. I was far from superhuman, just a skinny highschool kid. It was a newer bat (at the time, 2003).
Two piece composite BBCOR bats break a lot more often than you would think. They have a break in period, then a limited number of swings, and then they start cracking. You don’t see it in games usually bc they inspect the bats and the people will usually scrap them when they start to spider and crack.
The FIBA 3x3 is for real something I missed… live in Vienna and couldn’t make it to the final match or any of the qualifier. Bummer about it, stings to see it on a literal list of things I missed
Dude I’m telling you. Your coverage of the wcws trophy presentation would be GOLD! There’s kid that keeps trying to get away from the parent and steal the trophies
Aluminum is prone to metal fatigue, which can result in things like airliners popping open unexpectedly. Not sure if that's the cause of the broken bat, but it's possible.
I broke a metal bat playing SL ball, and I've cracked them few times playing softball. In high end bats, the tolerances were really tight. They usually only last a season, two at the most, when I played competitive softball.
I watch a lot of college baseball and softball and I’ve probably seen 2 or 3 metal bats break in the last few years. It’s not super common but I feel like most people who watch a lot of college baseball and softball have seen it at least once
That aluminum bat he broke was the Demarini goods 2-pc which is known as one of the best power bats but also worst durability bats of all time. If it was a 1 pc that would be rare and near impossible
Yes new bats only last a season and that’s no joke, they get 400 or so swings out of a bat? Most college players have two identical bats one to use in practice the other for a game, so they don’t wear out their game bat to quick.. it’s been like this for years and I’ve seen barrels of bats basically explode, I guess in college they can just get a new bat when theirs starts breaking down so we don’t see it that much, and usually when a bat is on the verge of breaking they have some other issues with it so they don’t normally use it till it breaks in half like that guy did. Lol
Covid was a major excuse for aluminum manufacturers to get chintzy on their shit. At my job aluminum cans would suddenly burst open with a flick of the finger. Distributors told us they were rolling it out thinner. Guess it carried over into baseball bats.
cant tell you how many times working at Dicks Sporting Good's parents would return those two-piece bats cuz they would come apart. at a certain point the state i lived in banned them

newer bats are often a composite and are essentially made of two parts - handle and barrel. its rare but they will split sometimes
I've seen metal bats break in high school baseball, too. Problem is where the barrel connects with the handle.
As a soccer fan who indeed did not see this, the first thing I said while watching that goal was “is that? That’s Toby alderweireld”
Really thought he was retired
This is such a fantastic idea for a show lol, first time catching it and I absolutely love it... Keep up the good work!
I saw two break in the same at bat in high school. Never seen another.
Wow, I never expected Antwerp to be pronounced by JImmy himself. Big thanks from a long time Belgian viewer.

‘Defensive players with or without the ball may pass through the crease but are not allowed to attempt to block a shot from within the crease’
@@qc3441 So would it be a penalty on #23 in the orange for standing in the goal on that dive shot attempt? He really just camped out there.
@@gregorylagrange It could have been. However, the back official started to signal for a crease violation, which would have stopped the play before the shot was ever made. (I didn't see the game live, so don't know if this was the actual call or not.)
Also, the 2 other players blocking the net wouldn’t be wearing goalie pads, so idk if they’d wanna do that 😂

I had an aluminum bat break once as a kid, pretty sure it was just a bad bat though. Or correction, it was an OLD bat

Because the aluminum bats are actually made from 2 separate pieces now. Cant remember why though.
Where that bat broke, leads me to believe the handle was composite and probably cracked or had its integrity damaged at some point. Wild stuff
Aluminum is prone to metal fatigue, which can result in things like airliners popping open unexpectedly. Not sure if that's the cause of the broken bat, but it's possible.
DO THIS MORE please!!

Antwerp's first league title in 66 years tho. Can't blame the guy for tears.
Wow Jimmer Ferdette haven’t heard of the dude in forever. Remember he was a 3 point god for the kings, good to see him compete

Not impossible. Seen a bunch of one piece alloy bats break
My favorite Jomboy scheduled content
Metal bats break more often than you think, especially the newer ones with thinner walls
I did watch some Fiba on twitch. I normally just watch Jomboy videos and not actual sports though.
Did did that in high school with a dimarini bat. Felt like a boss but it was really just a weakened bat
This is the only ffffing soccer I watch Jimmy!
It’s a composite bat isn’t it?
I think so. And a broken wooden bat still seems more dangerous but whatever.
D is the clear FOTW. Probably has been a fan since birth. Probably can’t remember a day when they weren’t a big fan.
Broke a bat in a batting cage my senior year. Sent that thing straight to the machine. It was cool

What would you use to Cork an aluminum bat? Magnesium maybe?

I vote for the guy with the red face as fan of the week.
Half court games need to follow the every possession take back rule. The hit rim rule is just dumb

Last time i checked any baseball bat not made out of wood should break or has a chance to break like how that happened 😂
i will never be able to take indoor lacrosse seriously until those goalies lose some weight
