Everything Soccer

[Jiggafini19Deux]

To be fair that match was more like a quarter final or semi match... I can see Morocco advancing a good bit in this field. I have not been impressed by anyone but France and to a much lessor degree Argentina. Everyone but France has looked vulnerable.

Argentina has a very clear path on paper, but based on what we've seen yesterday, they still need to show up. I'm actually a lot more concerned about Bosnia than I was 24 hours ago. Take no one lightly, whoever you are and whoever you face.

France's attack is just ridiculous.

Pochetinnos style will help prevent the mired in the muck sort of issues which plagued Germany. I don't think the US will have trouble scoring against Bosnia.

That's my hope.

Tim Howard is insanely confident the USA will roll Bosnia. I hope you, and he, are right.

How the US comes out in this game and performs will tell us a lot. People are believing, but not 100% believing. If they run through Bosnia, look out, this team is for real. I can easily see them losing though. This world cup is nuts. German and Netherlands out in the round of 32 and Italy isn't even there.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Only 6 different teams have won the world since 1966. And if you take out the 1 time Spain won, it's only 5. France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil and Italy. 2 of them are already out this year. Anyone but France, Argentina or Brazil.


And England. F England.

Germany got hosed btw. That winning goal in OT should not have been waived off. The GK flopped something fierce.

The keeper was obstructed. It was a fair call. The one thing you could argue was his ability to actually make a play on the ball, but we'll never know because he was bear hugged by the German player.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I felt bad for any German Arsenal fans when that goal got disallowed. Several brains had to have exploded.

I've got Ivory Coast, France, and Ecuador today. I feel pretty strongly about the Ivory Coast pick. I feel pretty weak about the Ecuador pick, but I will never pull for El Tri.

It's funny how people get annoyed with a keeper drawing attention to an obvious foul in a big moment when you consider how every other player on the field acts when their foot gets grazed:

I think they got hosed due to the stupid PK rule. They were clearly the better team and would most likely have won if they play till someone scores.

Nah that was a CONMEBOL masterclass

My barometer: that would have been goalie interference in hockey too

Veteran german players refusing to take penalties probably hurt them too. Obvious lack of leadership in the group hence the surprize recall for Neuer

Nagelsmann reminds me of Dan Lanning in CFB. Big ideas guy that gets a lot of plaudits with nothing much to show for it.

Also, he could be Kenny Dillingham's brother.

Ivory Coast looks so dominant until they get to the 18 yard box and they forget how to kick a ball. Impressive stuff

Didn't forget there. Nice goal.

 

[thekid33]

What a great goal

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Nice goal..

I literally go to the can for 2 minutes and miss that goal.

He was not bear hugged. I am no fan of Germany, but they barely touched and the Gill just fell to the ground.

is this real?

He came up very fast. He's only 38 years old and has already managed RB Leipzig, Bayern and Germany.

RIP to Ivory Coast, I was really pulling for them

I saw it in real time and thought it was a foul. Keepers get special treatment. This gets called a foul routinely in European leagues.

Maybe in the past. Lately? Not so much anymore.
