Anyone watching this game? How is that tackle from behind on England not called a penalty in the box?

Literally slide tackles the Ghana player from behind and gets zero ball

The goalie taking the Ghanan player out earlier too,… should have been a yellow and a free kick

Toronto really shouldn’t be hosting if they needed to add all these temporary seats to fit a stadium size requirement

The games should've all just been in the US. We have an excess of excellent venues.

I get other countries sharing events like Japan/Korea, Poland/Ukraine, Spain/Portugal, but what is the point here?

I have said before that if you need to build stadiums, venues, and infrastructure to host an Olympics or World Cup after being awarded it you shouldn’t even have been considered,… especially when you look at the human rights issues some of these nations step on to get across the finish line. I couldn’t care less if it’s a rotation of five nations, oh well… only those prepared to host it fully should do so. I’m fully aware it doesn’t work that way with the politics and such but that’s the way I see it.

Yep, Mexico and USA should have had all the games. Mexico did damn good it seems also.

Should have literally held it inside the Rogers Centre but we pissed down our leg to host it a high school field cosplaying as a world cup venue. Putrid.

People dying while doing construction work shouldn't be political.

FIFA is an obscene organization.

It really is, at so many levels. It's almost a shame they have such a good product (mostly due to the fans).

Heading to the Haiti/Morocco game today. Should be fun.

Wait till next year...Morocco, Spain, Portugal....plus opening games in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina to celebrate 100 years...fun!

I don't think the Canadian sites are adding that much to this tournament but i think the Mexican sites are a positive add. Azteca is a 10/10 host venue.

Im ok with giving a few games to Mexico.

Will they ever be able to host one on their own again? I'm not familiar with their stadiums and infrastructure. I know they've hosted a couple times in the past

I've seen multiple videos of the English watching soccer games and some of the things they yell are a little disturbing. Two in particular are used a lot:

1. "Get in, my son!"
2. "C'mon, the boys!"

Look fine in writing, but then just yell them out.

Not as much swagger from Marsch today...

If things hold as they currently stand (BH beat Qatar & SUI beat Canada), does that mean Canada might face the US in the round of 32?

Edit: Never mind, looks like Canada scoring 6 goals in the opener makes the difference

So Bosnia is it,…

Canada will get South Korea in the round of 32.

Davies, Bombito and Estaquio better start or I have no idea what they're doing on this team. With Kone out with a broken leg and those guys not starting today, we were down 4 of our top 6 players in the 2-1 loss to the Swiss. We have nowhere close to the level of depth needed to absorb those personnel losses lol.

How do people feel about Brisbane getting the Olympics in 2030 or whenever it is?
It seems ridiculous. Brisbane is little more than a country town.
It diminishes the event.

They gave Sochi, Russia an Olympics. It has 450,000'ish people. The Brisbane metro area is home to 2.85 million people... More than 6x more populous.

There is a big difference between summer and winter Olympics i think.

Sochi had massive issues

My thoughts on Brisbane is after the way their fans have acted and the shit they were chanting in the game the other day, the stuff they continue to post on social media, screw the Aussies, any city. Big or small. If there was ever a chance of me skipping down to Australia after a trip to Asia that chance went away after this week. I’m good never spending a dime there.

On that note of international rivalry, I never root for England, ever,… it isn’t even the rightful home and it’s never going there,… but ,… if the English do in fact get Mexico in round 2 as is favored currently I hope they push that shit all the way in. Then lose in the next round.

Love all around and all that

England vs mex would be a great game
