OT: FIFA World Cup 2018

[groovejuice]

Honestly the dramatics need to stop. They have to do something about it, it's so pathetic. I get it when players did it decades ago. Instant replay was not as developed, crappier camera angles, etc. So players could lay down pretending to have been shot.
Today though, man I would be embarrassed being caught flailing around screaming so loud my veins are about to pop for barely being touched.
It's so ridiculous.
The most annoying part is when they have to stop the play and slow down the game for this garbage.

Completely agree. Yellow or red card depending on the severity. It's an embarrassment to the sport.

Have they talked about the ball much this world cup? Seems like these guys are wizards with this ball.

Here’s a very recent article from popular science

How the new World Cup ball was designed to not influence the games

Kane is a beast!

 

[le_sean]

Wow. All alone in the box. Someone f***ed up bad there. How do you not mark Kane.

 

[koyvoo]

Ya. Until that moment the Tunisians were very tidy and calm defending in that 2nd half too.

England played like dogshit today. They better step their game up if they wanna go past R16.

i disagree, they did not finish, but especially the first half were dominant, and very good team play.

Watching Germany vs Mexico. German coach is ageless. Looks the same as he did 12 years ago. The 5th Beatle.

Does he still pick his nose?

 

[Per Sjoblom]

****ing Kane !

I agree. I love it when England do bad. not because I dislike them but because the fans are either we are top of the world or we are the pits of the earth. Plus I read the Guardian and they have a lot of comments that are fun when when other home nation's fans go after them.

though this year, expectations have been very very low, as a result this team can surprise

Most impressive team so far for me is Belgium, very talented roster. The big guns look mostly weak this year, could be the perfect year for a country like that to make it real deep.

You take out Harry Kane, they probably lose this game and being dominant doesn't equal to play well, especially when the opposite team park the bus.

Spain looked really good. really good. They're my pick.

Another upset as Japan beats Columbia.

Yup. I was not expecting this. But Colombia were down to 10 men for most of the game.

The oposition had not lost a game in qualifiying, and yea take out a star?? why, a team is a team with all its players and surely the captain and star is what makes them better

They were playing against what was perceived to be the weakest team to qualify
