LOL guess there's no investigation now that Ecuador destroyed Qatar in the first half

USA DAY

USA DAY

Absolutely have to beat Wales. Iran looked absolutely putrid against England so makes it even more of a must win vs Wales.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Made England's Saka as my captain in fantasy. Good call, he scored twice

I want to not watch this because it's the most foul and corrupt sporting event I've ever heard of or seen.

But what can you do? I like sports.

I've never been a Berhalter fan, they played cowardly after getting the lead instead of stepping on their necks when they were down.

I am sad. made a bunch of money on KC last night and Netherlands this AM - only to lose a big chunk of it on USA botching that

I go to sleep with the Devils having tied a franchise record for wins and wake up to Saudi Arabia beating ARGENTINA in soccer...what world is this?

Heaven

 

[SJinNewJersey]

I am still a little salty about the US tie yesterday. I really thought the ball was out of bounds twice (without a call) just prior to the penalty.

The bribery and/or consulate jokes write themselves on this one.

My country starts the campaign in few minutes. Expecting the usual scenario (not making the play-off phase) but wouldn't mind a fantastic and unexpected autumn made by the Polish NT and the Devils

 

[njdevils1982]

14 minutes of extra time at the end of saudi/argentina match?

FIFA has decided that in this turnament they'll try to make up as much time lost as they can thats why there are so minutes added on in games. And I support that.

Yeah Poland is a confusing football nation. They have a good team but always underachieve in my mind.

I saw a few people talking about that so went back and watched it again a few times and it didn't look out to me, I think the camera angle made it appear that way more but it just stayed in, the linesman was also right there with a good view.

I'm more annoyed at Zimmerman taking that stupid penalty that cost them 2 points.

 

[njdevils1982]

pumped for croatia/morocco at 5 in the morning!

uh....ya, right.......i'll avoid the score and watch it at a more reasonable time after the sun rises and a coffee 'plus'

England Had a Game, but First Its Fans Had a Quest. For Beer. (Published 2022)

Faced with the disturbing prospect of enduring an entire World Cup match with no alcohol, England’s fans had to turn to their backup plans.

Are they freezing that player’s rear end or covering it with powdered sugar?
