GalagaGuy Posted June 27 Author Posted June 27 Yep, the offside rule continues to be BS. Sorry Iran, you got boned. 1 Quote
lordstanley Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Don’t book USA into the quarters just yet. Belgium wins the group ahead of Egypt and Iran. The last 10 minutes of Egypt v Iran was frantic. Quote
Hongbit Posted June 27 Posted June 27 19 hours ago, buddha said: they should try to win the game, the loser gets moved into spain's likely bracket. Spain looked so bad yesterday. Very lax effort. So many terrible passes. Hard to find a more uninspiring effort from a supposed superstar midfielder than what Pedri showed yesterday. If he continues like that he may solidify his spot as the most overrated player in the world. Quote

Things dont matter until the knockout phases. lets see how they play when it counts. but yes, spain looked quite flat and uninspired. again. uruguay looked like how uruguay usually looks: whiny lil bitches who just try to hurt people whne they're losing. see also, mexico.

A header pass back to a player for a desperation header goal to stay in the World Cup. Two goals in extra time when both teams looked like they were going to settle for the draw. Pretty incredible. Great way to end the group stage. Quote
DTroppens Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) I'm shocked Argentina even played Messi as a sub tonight. And, of course, he scored. Edited June 28 by DTroppens Quote

DTroppens Posted June 28 Posted June 28 This was a very entertaining Group Stage of the tourney. I've been thoroughly enjoying every night. And there have been plenty of goals for those out there that want a bunch. The major players have shined. 1 Quote

DTroppens Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Last night I told my wife that Canada had rhe perfect draw for the round of 32 to get that first elimination round win realizing, "yeah, we can win this." But I told her the same was true for South Africa. A 1-0 win on a goal in extra time basically proved my point. 🙂 I will be honest. I saw about 40% of the match. Flipping between it and the Tigers.

lordstanley Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Canada leads the World Cup! First team into the round of 32, Eustaqio blasts the stoppage time winner. Davies plays the final 15 minutes. Quote

As a Polish-Canadian with friends in Poland, I’ve been in plenty of Poland-oriented chats with “Jan Sobieski would be rolling over in his grave” comments as we observe certain developments in modern Europe. 1 Quote

lordstanley Posted June 29 Posted June 29 A post away from being a spectacular goal by Vinicius Jr. It’s 1-1 in the 65th minute. Quote
lordstanley Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Canada and Brazil, both with stoppage time winners, are on a collision course to meet in the World Cup final. Quote
