World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!

Re: World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!

@WheelerTSN: And now sets up for #BRA #GER in the Round of 16!!!!! #GERMEX #WorldCup
 
I guess Mike Pereira falls under the “blind squirrel” category?

It just baffles me that with studios located in LA, with literally tens of qualified people within driving distance (Cal South likely has the highest concentration of National and FIFA level referees in the country), and they pick “former FIFA Match Commissioner” as their “rules expert”.

What exactly is a match commissioner anyway?

Brazil looks very good against a very good Switzerland.

This tournament is cuckoo. Swiss tie Brazil.

Casual soccer fan at best. What the hell Brazil and Germany? And da fuq is with all the sudden Mexico fans among Americans? Hating Trump's policies shouldn't suddenly qualify you for Mexico soccer fandom. Bleh.

I'm surprised by how many people are surprised by the Swiss-Brasil score.
Switzerland are ranked #6 in the world for a reason. They have 1 loss in their last 22-23 matches, and I think 16 wins to go along with it during that span. I of course had Brasil as the favorite, but I can't say I'm at all surprised that Switzerland were able to pull out a draw.

Similarly I'm a bit surprised by how people are playing up the Iceland-Argentina game. Argentina have been a mess all through qualifying, and Iceland not only won their qualifying group but also showed really well in the European championship just 2 years ago. So sure, Argentina is still the favorite coming in, but Iceland earning a draw isn't really so surprising.

That Germany-Mexico game though...now THAT'S an upset. Pretty fun to watch, I must say. The 2nd half consisted of Germany beating on the door and not getting in, but the 1st half Mexico looked *really* good. Nice concacaf rep. Hopefully they can keep it up.
Unless they run into Serbia in that first elimination round game, of course. :D

Nope sorry.

That’s the new dynamic

One hates hilly, misogyny is your forte
Control immigration?? Seems you are racists and hate all colored people.

:)

So get on the Mexican bandwagon and cheer the red green and white ;)

Argentina dominated the match. Pass attempts were something like 600+ to <200 with 90% completion to around 55% for Iceland and possession was roughly 80/20.

yup. almost worthy of a uhn banner dominance :) (but it was one sided possession wise)

No politics on the sports threads, please.

One thing i don't like about VAR is they just blew the play dead while South Korea was on a counter attack. So what happens if you review and no penalty is given? You just denied the other team a chance.
