Australia was why they played USA before the Cup. Apparently some folks didn't take notes. 29 minutes ago, Crabcake47 said: Messi is going to have to drag this team kicking and screaming if they want to get anywhere. He has so much talent around him on paper - Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria, Banega, the list goes on and on. And yet he has to carry this team LeBron-style if they want to get anywhere. What a waste. I think his team needs to carry him. That PK was horrible and he just seemed to meander around until Argentina attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvard hadn't won in years and so the headline was "Harvard beats Yale 27-27". 52 minutes ago, Seadragon76 said: Is it me or is the announcer for the Peru-Denmark match is trying WAY too hard at being excited? He normally calls Mexican Liga MX for Univision. That's normal for how those games get called on Latin American television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it something of an opposite problem — Aguero, for example, could be doing more, but they don’t play together as a team. No one can figure out how to put all that talent together as a unit.

If only this wasn’t probably the worst Croatia kit in a while… Croatia’s in a great spot, given a comfortable win paired with an Argentina draw. Four points the rest of the way should lock up the top spot in the group and a path to the quarters that avoids France. It’ll be interesting the narrative around them, because they’re genuinely one of the most talented teams at this tournament — just glad we’ve got an actual manager in charge this year.

I like Croatia. Very few teams have a midfield that can match theirs, plus they have plenty of experience to go around. Only need to keep Lovren in line and they can make a deep run.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 13 hours ago, Red Wolf said: Video reviews for judgment calls are the worst. For all the whining, it’s amazing to think that the NFL and college football have the best video review system. The league with the best video review system is the Arena Football League. The audience sees exactly what the referee is looking at on the screen, and hears him asking the truck for various angles. The referee describes out loud his thought process in reaching a decision. 9 hours ago, insert name said: Did the FOX commentator say "Iceland beats Argentina 1-1"? 8 hours ago, DG_Now said: Yes.

I could get behind this idea until he called out Carlos Bocanegra and saying he shouldn't be against Mexico because he was raised in a primarily Mecican area. Would have been better to say, "It's just business", but he's still playing at Leon and doesn't want to get run out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Matic starts a shoving match at the end of the Costa Rica-Serbia match. Should be interesting to see if fines are handed out. VAR used to give a yellow for Serbian player slapping at a player. It's the right call but only happens if VAR thinks it's a red card offense.

Thought Osorio lost the plot pulling Vela, but Mexico held out. Looks like Germany vs Brazil in the Round of 16 unless Mexico goes full Italy 2010 on this. Very disappointing play by Germany, especially in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
