it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes

MBOP, OMYGOD!
Jun 30th 2018

Haven’t watched the match since it happened
Jun 30th 2018
7
      Jesus, he did it again. This is just disrespectful.
Jun 30th 2018
8
           was like watching Deion Sanders on a punt return
Jun 30th 2018
12
                it was jaw on the floor stuff, fucking levitation
Jun 30th 2018
47
how is that not another penalty?
Jun 30th 2018
10
Right call. It was outside, just
Jun 30th 2018
11
      i thought the first one was outside tbh
Jun 30th 2018
13
           Initial contact was, but MBOP fought thru it, 2nd contact took
Jun 30th 2018
14
                so this is a genuine question:
Jun 30th 2018
19
                     No idea what he saw live. But that become obvious on replay
Jun 30th 2018
20
                          gotcha. 'prec.
Jun 30th 2018
21
There's something kind of horrible about this match.
Jun 30th 2018
15
But ADM says no! We'll live on to fight another day!
Jun 30th 2018
17
welcome to the tournament ADM
Jun 30th 2018

Loris never inspires full faith. Not saying that was savable
Jun 30th 2018
18
He moved real late on the first one
Jun 30th 2018
31
mental lapse by Pogba there?
Jun 30th 2018
22

This is Ronaldo in 1995/96 level
Jun 30th 2018
27
Can I stand in this line???
Jun 30th 2018
28
      All bow down for your young KING BOP!
Jun 30th 2018
29
           Bop is the prince,
Jun 30th 2018
32
                Nah
Jun 30th 2018
34
                     This is the thing..
Jun 30th 2018
43
                          Barring injury, he's got 6-7 years before pace diminshes
Jun 30th 2018
46
                               he's going to lose a step by 26???
Jun 30th 2018
57
                                    Exactly, the losing a step thing is irrelevant
Jun 30th 2018
58
                                         It's not irrelevant
Jun 30th 2018
100
                                              lol, ok. Let's talk in 2028 then

Best passer in the world. Arg still trash tho
Jun 30th 2018
35
France defence is real soft
Jun 30th 2018
36
Another KO stage game for Messi, no goals. Sent home by a teenager
Jun 30th 2018
37
0 goals in EIGHT knockout matches? Damn
Jun 30th 2018
38
So a genius assist doesn't matter, but a PK would? You're smart
Jun 30th 2018
40
      lol....this is a very mad reply.
Jun 30th 2018
42
      Haha, furious
Jun 30th 2018

           So just ad hominem coz you can't refute? Okay
Jun 30th 2018
48
                What's there to reply to? you said something really dumb
Jun 30th 2018
51
                     You said something dumb, got checked, got nothing. Lol
Jun 30th 2018
63
      he would have to convert the PK though
Jun 30th 2018

Argentina is such trash in key areas
Jun 30th 2018

Even if well-coached their defense and midfield suck
Jun 30th 2018

Jun 30th 2018

Jun 30th 2018
53
^^^^^this. such a shit squad
Jun 30th 2018
54
      Will Messi be in a 2022 squad?
Jun 30th 2018
56
      he probably won't be. but in case he is, i still expect fail
Jun 30th 2018
61
           Actually makes me kinda sad to think that was the last Messi WC.
Jun 30th 2018
65
      I mean Mascherano v. Pogba + Kante in the middle? it was a joke
Jun 30th 2018
59
           Banega's their 2nd best midfielder
Jun 30th 2018
62
           Masche should have been given like 5 yellows
Jun 30th 2018
64
They probably didn't deserve to be here today but put up a fight
Jun 30th 2018
86

Jun 30th 2018

First place all around epic, second goal was a gorgeous strike
Jun 30th 2018
87
so it's Pepe's fault CR7 never once went to his left?
Jun 30th 2018
92
Nope. Messi's fault.
Jun 30th 2018
93

Jun 30th 2018
94
      The Lesser Ronaldo channeled Kobe's ghost + went full hero ball for 90'
Jun 30th 2018
95
           When he doesn't score, he's useless. It's the only way he impacts games
Jun 30th 2018
96
Mbappe is 19 fam.... it's a wrap....
Jun 30th 2018
98
All-time great potential. One of the best strikers in the world ALREADY
Jun 30th 2018

      Pique has generously decided to keep it interesting.
Jul 01st 2018
112
Is pique ever not a disaster?
Jul 01st 2018
113
Feels like Russia's just as likely to win this as Spain.
Jul 01st 2018
116
i really want to see Spain-Croatia but I’m getting nervous
Jul 01st 2018
118
Using all subs with 30 min to go?? Hmmm
Jul 01st 2018

      The batteries in their HGH-saturated bionic implants had worn down.
Jul 01st 2018

It doesn't really seem like Spain have a plan of attack.
Jul 01st 2018
122
bore them to sleep. Like us. Then score when nobody’s watching.
Jul 01st 2018

I wonder if Rodrigo will get benched for that
Jul 01st 2018
132
If we don’t get PKs im gonna be mad
Jul 01st 2018

Jul 01st 2018
151
      I had that when the knockout round was set BUT I dunno now
Jul 01st 2018
168
      England could lose in Round 1
Jul 01st 2018
166
Somehow the weaker half got even weaker
Jul 01st 2018
140
I love this World Cup. I love it so much.
Jul 01st 2018
142
It's been so good. That kick save? To win it?

Futbol is such a luckbox game as far as which team wins

It's a risk/reward game, that doesn't mean it's luck

THIS MATCH IS ON PACE FOR 44 GOALS.
Jul 01st 2018
153
No jinxo, but Denmark is really on top right now
Jul 01st 2018
157

Jul 01st 2018

Jul 01st 2018
161

Jul 01st 2018
165

What's the issue with Denmark here?
Jul 01st 2018
162

Jul 01st 2018

Denmark has clearly been the better team
Jul 01st 2018
167
Ah, man. That's tough.
Jul 01st 2018
171
how the fuck is that not a red card?
Jul 01st 2018
172
they dont do the pen + red card thing anymore really
Jul 01st 2018
176
I don't get it, honestly. That one was clear as hell to me.
Jul 01st 2018
177
It's only a red now if there was no genuine attempt at a tackle.
Jul 01st 2018
187
      fair point, thanks.
Jul 01st 2018
188
      yeah on the replay i realized it was actually a pretty good challenge
Jul 01st 2018
192
Pathetic. Croatia soft as sh't
Jul 01st 2018
173
I am hoping they just had a bad day, in group play they were stronger
Jul 01st 2018
189
nice sense of urgency there
Jul 01st 2018
174
Quite a day for clutch goalkeeping.
Jul 01st 2018
175
Croats acting like they don’t really want this
Jul 01st 2018
178
these niggas tight as shit on PKs in this world cup lmao
Jul 01st 2018
179

Jul 01st 2018
180
How so? So many poorly taken penalties
Jul 01st 2018
182
yeah, you're right about this:
Jul 01st 2018
186
      There was one beautiful strike and a couple kinda smart ones
Jul 01st 2018
190
?
Jul 01st 2018
184
Yeah Subasic and Schmeichel beasted on those
Jul 01st 2018
185
Perfect spot for Rakitic..his reaction says it all. No big deal
Jul 01st 2018
181
How boring is Croatia-Russia going to be?
Jul 01st 2018

Happy trails, Iniesta

Maybe play Bobby Firmino more?
Jul 02nd 2018
217
he wasn't really liked in Brazil before this Cup
Jul 02nd 2018

He's extremely good and scores goals.

      But instead of who? Jesus?
Jul 02nd 2018
221
           No question.
Jul 02nd 2018
223
           Jesus is a scorer- Firmino creates chances. He needs more time.
Jul 02nd 2018
227
           YES! Jesus, yes! GJ is infuriating as f'k
Jul 02nd 2018

I'm tired of saying it. Bobby gets good results.

Actually hoping for Colombia to make it out of their side of the bracket over Croatia, but w/o a healthy James, it's just too much of an ask IMO

I just don't think Spain will get it together in time to make a run.


Maybe Brasil will get it together. I just don't see it.

19. "so this is a genuine question: "
In response to Reply # 14


  

          

if the initial contact is a foul, that means the ref let him play his advantage, and the second contact becomes an entirely different play?

that seems really bang-bang to parse into separate discrete incidents if initial contact was a foul onto itself

In response to Reply # 19


  

          

It's a penalty so it went up var and thus they saw what I said and wasnt overturned or even required him to go look.

That's how I see it anyway. It's very clear first contact wasnt bringing him down, he fought to stay up and rojo saw it too that's why he came back again.

That said, a less brave ref would have gone the easy route and just placed at the edge of the box

He's in his prime and still struggles too often to enforce his will on games. Love him still, but I have a hard time seeing a BdOR in his future. I can see MBOP getting more than one.

All conjecture obviously.

The problem is that Mbappe needs a true CF to play off. He plays well with Griesmann and honestly, it's why Giroud is great for France. He just takes up a lot of space, and is just dangerous enough to make you account for him.

Playing off of Falcao has helped his game. He knows how to make his runs. The Henry comparisons are clear to see. I wonder how his game will change once that blistering pace starts to fade.

Argentina was disjointed in this WC. He didn't help their cause much but I don't think his legacy was on the line. People are also quickly forgetting 2014, I mean you'd think he never did shit in a big game the way people are bashing him.

Backline getting cut up on basic passes (4 passes from Lloris to a 1v1 for Mbappe sums it up), the midfield outside of Mascherano, keepers doing themselves no favors...just such poor play and basic mistakes time in and time out.

nothing but wide players trying to 1v1 next to the chalk lines. It's idiotic that it'll all be a referendum on Messi when the fact is that team was poorly constructed, poorly coached, and just not that good.

I can't believe Fazio actually proved that playing Rojo at CB was a decent choice amongst the options. they're. so. badly constructed as a team. AFA should be embarrassed. I fully expect them to miss the world cup in 2022, tbh, even with messi.

In response to Reply # 54


  

          

Mascherano trying to break up Griezmann and Mbappe up top? How do you say "this is supposed to be an exhibition" in Spanish?

I have a hard time believing Argentina can't find *one other* midfielder they trust to possess the ball in front of the back four, and even if that guy doesn't exist somehow, then just get some mobile guys and dumb down the passing connections for them.

And then yeah, starting Higuaín over Kun Aguero in groups? In what world does that work? Anyway -- glad France got it done. I was super mad at 2-1 cuz I was thinking maybe France chokes away some chances and a bad team advances, but then we got the Mbappe show so great game in the end.

In knockout wc matches. Hell in all matches. Wasted a golden generation without even a sniff of finals.
I remember his old days on the flank where he couldn’t get anything cooking 😂

Cause yeah, his production in the WC is just as sorry as Messi's

Kind of fitting that their respective "signature" international achievements are equally counterfeit (Messi's thoroughly undeserved golden ball in '14; Ronaldo not even playing in Portugal's '16 Euro)

Both certainly in the GOAT convo. But you could probably fire off 10-15 upper echelon players who had better international careers with ease.

In response to Reply # 108


          

They will retire as two of, if not the two, most decorated and successful club players ever. That puts them in the convo. The fact that their international careers are so paltry in comparison means that neither is sitting in on the throne, ever.

I'm sorry you feel like you failed me though.

Not trying to really take up for either of them, certainly not getting into a whole dialogue over three words when it seems like we agree on the important stuff. Good luck against La Celeste.

In response to Reply # 121


  

          

The only thing we seem to disagree on is the precise meaning of being in the GOAT convo.

Thanks. La Céleste is going to be a lot harder than Argentina, but Cavani is hurt so maybe Deschamps’ legendary luck is at work...I could have gone to the game again but it would be very irresponsible. So tempting though.

Congrats on la Roma getting Pastore, I feel he’s gonna do great there. Happy for him and the club.

Uruguay is funky, I got a cousin in Punta del Este and I went to Montevideo for a bit. Cool place politically, a little awkward socially and definitely slow. Montevideo is a capital city and there's like no people. Never any traffic, after like 9PM maybe 10PM streets are pretty much empty and everything closed. I remember the first night we were in town was a Thursday or Friday at midnight and the hottest shit we saw on a taxi tour of the town was a park with a bunch of kids hunting Pokemon.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

i mean, Portugal wouldn't even make the WC w/out him.

Portugal w/out Ronaldo is basically Greece and then maybe not quite that good.

In response to Reply # 94


  

          

it was a horrible performance and after dribbling inside for like the fourth time to go absolutely nowhere I thought surely he's just being so persistent to bait the defense before the end line run, nut nope -- there he was on the cusp of stoppage time cutting to his right and punting the ball 20 yards wide of the goal when the Uruguay defense ate it up again.

It was a horrible performance and Knock-off Ronaldo was one of the worst Portuguese players on the pitch, but somehow we'll say the team is at fault. That's what I'm on about.

131. "hey man here’s the ball"
In response to Reply # 128


  

          

“Cool thanks, passing it back
“Nice, let me give it back to you though”
“No I insist, you hold on to it”
“Ah actually here’s someone on your left, let me pass to him”
“Great, and what do I do with it now?”
“Hmm, maybe give it to that guy in the back, just to be safe”
“OK, done”
“Great, and I’ll get it to the keeper so we can reset the play”
“Guys I’ve got it now, I’ll boot it up, but not too far”
“Awesome I’ve got it, let’s see what options I have within 20 feet”
“Hey I’m open back here, pass it now”
“Ok here it comes”
“So does anyone remember what we’re supposed to do with this thing?”
“Not sure but don’t get too close to that white box up there, looks risky”

In response to Reply # 0


          

He ran directly at the goal and shot instead of holding the ball and initiating an insipid sequence of passing. That's a no-no.

Also, Croatia bred the most ruthless waffen SS units during WW2. Not that that’s anything to be proud of, but soft they are not.

Denmark was a tough draw and they aren't handling it well. Fitness seems to be an issue. Not a good sign in a single-elimination tournament, especially now that if they escape, they will have escaped from 120+ minutes of action.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

The key is understanding when to take your chances and when not to. If you look at most critical plays, it's because a player or players made the wrong decision at some point in the build-up.

Randomness plays a more important part than in the American sports that are all much more predicated on systematic repetition. Just as you said, it’s precisely why it’s a great source of life lessons.

It might be interesting to some in a nerdy way, but I really don’t see what’s admirable as a neutral about what Denmark is doing. You really think Eriksen is used to his full potential?

Of course it’s up to the favorite team to break through somehow, I’m not talking about things being unfair or undeserved, but boring is boring imho

Dangerous play, hack/drag downs, etc.

He made an attempt for the ball and actually won it. He just clipped dude's heel first. So penalty and yellow card.

yes it was a foul but he got a big piece of the ball, pretty nice play given the situation.

looked pretty solid in what little i saw of their qualifying, too.

they get a tomato can opponent to get some rest and right the ship. that's a huge luxury to have in a quarter final.

Other than 1 penalty (the only no doubter of the bunch), everyone too antsy to take the risk of going high. Unless you blister it low, it’s a 50/50 shot...terrible odds for the taker.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Russia just dropping back and praying for a counter. Bleh.

Exciting finish here though. Croatia dug deep, they were fuckin' gassed. Modric with that superb pass but couldn't convert the penalty. Great showing in PKs though. They are fortunate to have a soft opponent next. Did not look super fit here and had to play a long, tough game.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Not a huge fan of Spain but I am a little sad that they went out like this. A lot of veteran guys who accomplished a lot including guys from that 2010 team. I feel like all that shit with sacking their manager really set them back, this is not the same team we saw leading up to the tournament. It seemed like tactically the new staff was at once very hands-off and very conservative, basically wanted to leave things as they were and leave it up to a group of veterans to sort it out. the result was excessively bland, unimaginative and inconsistent.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

be dead by halftime

I hate both of these squads equally
Mexico because of their over-inflated sense of self and it's all Telemundo talks about (haven't won shit, not every American Latino is Mexican, FOH)
Brazil because they dominate South America and win everything all the time (not lately tho, and I have a feeling El Tri might just break their curse today)

Which if they do I may force myself to switch to Fox, Telemundo will be El Tri TV

214. "Beautiful goal by Brasil, Mexico being so wasteful"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Neymar dribbles across the face to suck in the center of Mexico's defense, back heel to Willian who then takes a great heavy touch into the wide vacated space, gets the ball across to a curling Neymar. That's the essence of soccer, pulling players out of space combined with quick-decision making and movement.

On the other end...Mexico has huge swaths of space to attack into yet continues to pull up for shots outside of the box rather than laying it off into channels. Reminiscent of how wasteful they were vs Germany.

224. "Mexico was good, but lacked sharpness in the final third"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

so many poor touches that could have resulted in shots/goal scoring opportunities. Decision making had to be quicker.
And those were some really perplexing coaching decisions.

225. "Same kind of play they had against Germany"
In response to Reply # 224


  

          

Yes they won and got the goal they needed but they were playing in acres of space and continued to waste chances because their attackers were playing head down, selfish football.

How many wide open passing lanes did they miss today, instead opting for low % shots from range. Really poor attacking football.

Honda's free kick right before the corner was pretty ridiculous too, and will end up forgotten. Joe Hart would've let that in lol! That deserved another half-hour of them both still looking for goals.

really unfortunate the keeper got stupid on that Vertonghen header, if they'd held on a few more minutes Belgium may have opened up even more and created chances for a back-breaking third.

But well played to the red devils, and highly looking forward to what they do against Brazil. This top of the half is the legit half so far

(no offense, my guy)

the ballsier play would have been to heel flick that ball. That’s what Zlatan would have done, and all the other big baller ego driven strikers like him. Then maybe you get a fake ass raised hand apology when they miss like, sorry fam I swear I didn’t see you (riiiiiiiight).

but Romelu the Great Thinker operates on a higher plane and was planning that shit from the moment Courtois started the play, all the while reviewing his entire life story and thinking “Don’t worry mama, I’m not letting dumb shit shatter our dreams, fuck that!’

(‘Yeah mom, I know, language, but shit’s a little hot out here, you know? wait...here you go, Nacer, come through fam’)

so yeah, VISION is what it was

Had Chadli not been there or not been ready for the dummy, Lukaku would be getting raked for ducking the shot. It takes a set to take that gamble.

What a turnaround after yesterday's snoozers!
Was really hoping Japan could've gotten that third one. Honda's freekick would have been such a beautiful way to seal it, but Courtois' ass saw it coming. Man, props to both teams for that one.

273. "Incredible!"
In response to Reply # 267


  

          

The start to the Brasil-Mexico game was hot and then the finish to Belgium-Japan was incredible. What a rally and what a finale! Was that the most fear-inspiring moment in the HISTORY of Belgium? Gotta be.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Chadli and Fellaini changed the game off the bench. Belgium had clear cut chances all game but once Vertonghen's mishit went in, the lid came off.

Hats of Belgium for capitalizing.

Seems like, you might have wanted to start Sideshow Bob against the Lilliputian-like Japanese. he probably could have had a hat-trick of headers.

Lukaku deserves a medal for dummying that.

Ones in their 60's, 50's, now 40's is a Brazil fan. Regardless of country of origin. (Maybe that's changed in recent years/different for some francophones, but that whole thing has always been really weird to me.). Goes back to when the contingent got1 or 2 teams. Plus Pele black as shit. So to have a team in knockouts you had to align with someone not from the contingent. Brazil was no brainer.

That doesn't really change. Columbia? There no hard connection or history.
And lol at given that districting to a colonial power FOH. You know I've been a France fan for a long time, always been my favorite euro, but I'd never say that.


This is fairly established, George weah used to take about it when he played, Nigerian teams, Cameron in their heyday, etc.

332. "Ref is milk carton status"
In response to Reply # 329


  

          

letting all kinds of sneak shit fly the 1st half
and now trying to compensate in the 2nd
I get it's win or go home and they should be allowed to play
but all the shirt pulling, grabbing, underhand slick kick shit is gonna get out of hand
fists gonna fly soon if ref doesn't regulate this shit

In response to Reply # 352


  

          

but he also totally shanked a chance to tie it and overall he has been mediocre (and this guy is my favorite player). HIs stats look good and at times he managed to force the issue, but he hasn't been on his game for the bulk of the tournament. Quintero has been invisible, too, so who the fuck will serve Falcao? Carlos Sanchez had a tough job today but he didn't play very well, obviously an error cost of his cost them huge against Japan, too. Mina and Davison Sanchez were their best players in this tourney. Today their subs came on and breathed life into them, too. In the end they were a day late and a dollar short. With their whole side fit I think they can hang with anyone but that's probably true of several teams in the tournament.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

This one hurt, bad, but I am not going to sit here and pretend like Colombia was robbed. The penalty was 50/50 to me but they gave England soooooo fucking many setpieces that sooner or later it was going to bite them. It's a sad day for me but I tip my cap to England ... and now I hope they get eaten alive.

In response to Reply # 367


  

          

But the offense and the initiator usually get overlooked. I have seen worse plays not get called in this same tournament for sure but Sanchez ended up at the mercy of the official there. Overall Colombia defended setpieces really well and executed on the one they finally got. But that says they were shitty in the final third (not great in the midfield either) AGAIN. I think Pekerman had a pretty good feel for things here, I hope he continues with the program. This was an execution issue primarily. I wish Colombia had one more big guy up front with some skill, that would really put them over the top. Four years ago I was worried about their back end and it was the strength of their team this time around. Too bad they didn't have their main offensive guys all fit and playing decent.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Or at least things started looking better.

I think they definitely win this one with James, but oh well. Still a pretty unflattering exit for a team that was extremely likable in '14.

In response to Reply # 357


  

          

Either they are the team we saw impress in group play and that was just a bad game that they got out of the way, or they got exposed as maybe not being well-conditioned enough to hang over the course of the tourney.

Drawing Russia helps them in either case. Other teams are going to be gassing themselves, they should be able to play about 80% and win.

In response to Reply # 359


  

          

Uribe's PK missed by a fucking inches, Ospina got a hand on that last strike, obviously the collision between Sanchez and Mina there in extra time. England had chances, too. In the end too many fouls, too many setpieces against. They had a chance to end it in the first 15 minutes of extra time and then Ospina gave them life. Overall too many negative emotions for Colombia. Too much nervousness and anger in their game today. Also let's face it their offensive game has been outright poor. Next to no service to Falcao. If not for setpieces from Cuadrado to Mina, they would have had practically no offense, not just scoring but offense period.

In response to Reply # 370


  

          

Bottom line is no James, Cuadrado playing OK but not great and Quintero and in and out really sucks the life out of their attack in the final third. Odd that coming out of 2014 their goal-scoring prowess gave them buzz going forward (Cuadrado's service, James' finishing, Falcao's return) but this time it was their center backs that anchored the team.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Asking sincerely, not rhetorically - haven't seen one of Sweden's games since they sent the Azzurri home in qualifying. But it seems like they've taken down some legit-ish squads en route to where they are.

374. "quadrennial questions / hot takes"
In response to Reply # 0


          

- thank God both Ronaldo and Messi are gone. Portugal and Argentina each had one exciting match, but as an ugly American who doesn't watch club soccer I'm glad their cult-like followings can focus on something else. Ronaldo seems so stiff and boring, like one of those Playstation FIFA create-a-players maxed out to 99, and Messi looks like that little punk kid who is somehow better than everyone but shouldn't be.

- a shame France, Brazil and Belgium are all in the same side of the bracket. the other side has been boring to me, with the one high point being Sweden's counter attack making all those Mexico fans cry for about a half hour.

- Neymar is self-parody but he can be pretty fun to watch when he plays team soccer. Brasil's first goal against Mexico, when he drew four defenders at the top of the box and let everybody else make runs was a good example. and Willian? like I said, I don't watch any club soccer so I don't know how he did at Chelsea, but to be that fast at 29 is seriously impressive.

- mentioned above, but the sentiment that USA should root for El Tri? helllllll no. I was over it after the Germany game, when Mexico fans were bragging they would win the whole damn World Cup.

- I like VAR. I think it's refinement would cut down on the major bullshit component that goes on during soccer.

- Harry Kane has the most punchable face in Russia, until Trump shows up for the finals. Colombia is a fun WC team for neutrals, weird to see via Wiki-search that James didn't do much at Real Madrid after his 2014 run.

- not really rooting for anyone in particular, but it's been a heck of WC for entertainment.

For his game/impact then your opinions on football are null and void to me.

My issue/not so hot take for Brasil is starting Jesus. He's not the right choice, I think firmino and even a false nine to squeeze in Douglas Costa would be preferable. As an aside, Diego Costa would be so prime on this team, what a traitorous choice.

Also, really concerned with casameiro having to sit out against Portugal.

I don't get the criticism from Colombia fans that the ref was biased.

The ref could have ignored the penalty on Kane but it was hardly a bad call.

And Colombia spent the first 60+ minutes fouling the shit out of England at every opportunity.

Arguably he didn't start giving cards on Colombia soon enough.

Colombia didn't start playing actual soccer until they accumulated yellow cards and made a few substitutions.

The ref lost control there for a while, but he got it back eventually. He's certainly not why Colombia lost.

feels like Pekerman really blew it if that was his gameplan. James is good but they had more than needed on the pitch to make it happen.

On the positive side that was a fantastic game from Sanchez btw, him and Mina had quite a WC

i figured if each group stage matchday post could handle 16 games, this one could handle 12.

clearly i miscalculated there.

What a defense. Edmilson too.

Oliver Kuhn was GOD....until he wasn't.

Ronaldinho is the Barry Sanders of soccer. 5 yard losses against 35 yards through three quarters and then an 85 yard touchdown (or in the case of Ronaldinho...perfect setups. Straight madmaking. Rivaldo and Kleberson made this thing go and Ronaldo knew what to do with it.
