OT: Association Football Thread III (All Soccer Talk Here!)

[I Eat Crow]

I wouldn't take anything from Morocco.

The only team with a worse xG in the entire tournament is Qatar.

Morocco are just on a rabbit's foot run right now.

Yup. Portugal should obliterate them. They matched up favorably against Spain though.

Croatian goalie has been good but why didn’t he pull Neymar down on that chance. He basically just let him easily go around him and score.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Ruh roh..

 

[inranger94]

LOL are you kidding me Croatia. What a clutch goal

Mentally toughest team in the world. No true stars except for a 37 year old Modric that's defying age but they just never give up and play as a unit so well. You can't count them out ever.

Perisic is potentially the most underrated player on earth. Hard to root against this Croatia squad.

This Croatian goalie is going to get PAID in the next transfer window.

 

[inranger94]

This Croatian goalie ended up being the goat of the game anyway wow

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm all in on an Argentina-Portugal final.

Portugal takes it.

 

[inranger94]

You still want to see team like Brazil to go through. Next potential game is against Argentina or Netherlands which will be much more fun to watch than Croatia against either of those teams.

The Dutch are limp
Wristed divers like that scrotum head Robben

Holy shit. Unbelievable 2:2

 

[will1066]

This is nuts

2-2 and who knows how it ends but right now Argentina has lost its cool. You could tell they were super nervous and completely let the Dutch play their game

Yup. van Gaal knows nothing else but to huff it when needing a goal. Argentina needed to keep up the pressing and aggression but they played right into their hands and let the Dutch big boys get to deep balls.

I went into the other football thread by accident again.

I feel like I just lost several years off the end of my life with those two games

 

[Synergy27]

Most underrated player and apparently also most underrated father.

This was bound to happen. They never should have had a World Cup in that shithole. This is exactly the type of shit everyone feared.

This is a stain on the entire event. I won't even be happy if Portugal wins it. This man was murdered. No doubt in my mind. Sanction Qatar like the Russians are.
