Cavani is a beast. Suarez is still a complete piece of shyt. Eypgt played very well but don’t have the composure in the offensive third, Mo would have helped them greatly today. But I think it was smart to save him. They can still beat Russia and Saudi. They do that they move on I think. I don’t see Russia beating Uruguay.

Not wrong

He’s been pretty bad lately. He’s absolutely carrying some extra lbs. He appears to be fit, he’s able to press the ball still at a some what high rate. But when he’s on the ball he looks sluggish and slow. Higuain like. He was pretty terrible today.

Why the F do I still live here? Lol. The weather is shit, the government is shit, the rent is shit. I need to move my family.

For the world class public schools.

Hard to believe Chicago isn't hosting a game. A Poland vs Mexico WC match at Soldier Field would probably lead to missiles being fired back and forth along Archer Avenue.

he's definitely overweight and has been since the start of the season.

My dream game for "fans" would be Germany vs. Norway in Minneapolis.

Always have wanted an excuse to get violent with those bitchboys.

Just got back from the sports book... Took Morocco-Iran under 2 and Spain -0.5 for the matches today. I think Spain is gonna play with some extra motivation this whole tournament.

Joao Mario is such a cocky ass hole. He's such a waste of a roster spot. I can't believe hes even in the game right now.

Stopped at the QT (gas station) today with my Germany jersey on. I was surrounded by Mexican's wanting to talk about the game. Spent 15 minutes shooting the shit. One old guy invited me to his house to watch, and some others told me the cantina they'd be at.

You’re into in Georgia? In Cali you’d be lucky to not suffer a dozen stab wounds. No joke...

This announcer for Peru-Denmark is absolutely on fire. When he gets super excited he slips from English to Spanish and it's fantastic.

Okay, I might have to root for Brazil... just because the Brazilian fan in the VW commercials telling me to do so is an all time epic smoke show... goodness!

They were all just happy to talk about soccer. One guy I see all the time and we exchange pleasantries. A little smack talk, but I think here, they are just happy to see other soccer fans.

I went to the CONCACAF Gold Cup knock out in 2015 here in GA. US played/lost to Jamaica and MX played/beat Panama. Great crowd overall. I tailgated a little with a group of Mexicans and had them cheering for the US. Probably the only time I've cheered for MX.

Yup, I had to rewind when it first starting happening and checked to see if I had flipped to Telemundo on accident.

I love those commercials. Nicely throwing shade at the US for not going, and making fun of the teams that are...



Overall, my thoughts on the first half of the first group games.

Russia looked strong, but it was Saudi... It will be interesting to see if they walk over Egypt.

Uruguay stole one.... And Iran surprised.

Ronaldo is making the most of his shots. That last goal was crazy. Group B is all about who can beat up Iran and Morocco the best.

France has looked overrated their last two games. The possession stats surprised me this morning. I'd love to see Den and Peru smack them around.

Messi was messy, and choked big time on that PK. While I'm an Argentina fan, I just love Iceland. I hope they can somehow make it out of group play.

Peru looked like the better team to me, but Denmark did what they needed to do. And why didn't Guerrero start? Had he started I think we'd at least have seen a draw. Hope he starts vs France on Thursday.

Hope Croatia can find the net.

I'll be rooting for Germany to win it all again, but I love Iceland. I really hope they make a Cinderella run out of group play and maybe even steal a round of 16 game.

With the US out, I'm all in on Germany too. Like I said in a previous post, I share the Iceland love. Drawing was pretty much a win for them. Great story and I had almost forgot about the 2016 Euros.

Why would Russia walk over Egypt? By all accounts Salah will be ready to go and Egypt looked like it belonged against Uruguay.

Germans have been pressing the whole game. Attacking with 6-7 players. Mexico has been counter attacking and how they got their goal. They probably should have 2-3 honestly.
