  1. So the guy who constantly harps on the exploits of Caniggia, Maradona, Tevez, Simeone, Messi, Saviola, Batigol, etc. (I can keep going if we need to), has a problem with embellishment and diving in a football game?
  2. Well shit “Dr.” Joe Machnik. Too late to edit, but obviously didn’t mean the senator.
  3. The only person who I would keep are Kate and Derek Rae. Kate has got her role down well. Not sure why, but I just love Derek pronouncing weird ass European names with a phonetically challenging series of random consonants. Makes those names just roll off the tongue. I actually don’t mind the words that come out of Landon’s mouth, but his enunciation and inflection is like a prepubescent, robotic Ben Stein. I would like a late night recap show with Deuce, Edu, with Max Bretos emceeing. Sobriety would not be allowed and a delay would be needed for FCC purposes. The first episode would include Mark Clattenburg and “Dr.” Joe Manchin fighting to the death. The winner would then fight Rob Stone on the second episode. The third episode would include burying the winner of second episode in an ant hill.
  4. Im not sure you have seen an extra time game with several sendings off on both sides (I.e. your exact scenario). They are boring as shit. At that point, you wish the ref would just call extra time early and go straight to kicks. This will have the exact opposite of the desired effect, just like the golden and silver goals. The managers will keep 5 at the back and you will get 1 or 2 v 5 on each side of the field. Even if you do see a goal - then it will be extreme bus parking time. This may work for a lower league tournaments or non-professional levels, but nothing of note.
  5. Spain has reverted back to classic Spain. I think this goes to show just how awesome Iniesta really was - in that he could overcome the traditional Spanish implosion at least once. Of course, it could just be that the Dutch (late round only)implosion tradition is even stronger.
  6. I hope.
  7. I always love where the S American countries call the other ones Nazi harborers. Lets just forget where Mengele, Stangl and Gregory Peck were hanging out after the war.
  8. I’m going to claim it was a clean hit and a a golazo there. Also, don’t think I have ever seen a non injury keeper sub made by the winning team in a World Cup match.
  9. Damn, Rivaldo looks like Brazilian Skeletor now. Although thinking back, I guess he always kind of did.
  10. This is what I just don’t get. I would totally be trying to play for Monaco, Napoli, Real Sociedad, or back to Sporting and play for free. No real pressure, awesome locations. Or shit go play second division La Liga and play for Las Palmas or Tenerife. Any of those would be better than spending any time in Saudi playing against who knows what.
  11. This may be the most fun Brazilian team to watch since Ronaldo/Rivaldo/Ronaldinho. Thank god Felipao and Dunga are gone as managers.
  12. For how shaky the Croat keep looked during the game, he sure was good during the shootout. Like a Croat Taffarel.
  13. Come on Saka. That’s one you just apologize and do your best to prevent a card. The chance was there to take down Bellingham - but they missed it. That goal was all Bellingham and Foden.
  14. Shit come on Senegal. Finish those.
  15. When all else fails, get an Argentine manager not named Tata. Pipe dream is that Poch is tired of Europe. Maybe get Gallardo from River Plate.
  16. Damn Lewandowski. Don’t go out of the tournament like that. I mean - even with the life line. Two or three steps and put it through the back of the net.
  17. Disagree. It’s PSG. Since Rai, PSG only has one level of drama - high.
  18. The current generation of France is like a dynamic version of what Germany used to be.
  19. After cooling off and avoiding thread and post game analysis The two most frustrating for me were not protecting your midfield either with formation or tactics. Gregg already showed we don’t have to play 4-3-3. We don’t have a 9 and our midfield was on complete fumes at min 70 against Iran. My wife, whose understanding of soccer consists of watching our kids and two seasons of Ted Lasso, would have come off looking like Nate Shelley yesterday. and the personnel decisions. This obviously includes the initial selection, but Christian needed to come off at half. I understand giving him a go, but he was so obviously not fit. I’ll even give Gregg a pass on grasping at straws with Jesus and then going back to Haji. But the fact that Jordan Morris played in game of any consequence of the World Cup where we were within 8 goals of taking or giving up the lead - should have resulted in immediate dismissal following the whistle. If Luca is too hurt, I would have rather brought on CCV and parked Zimmerman in the box to knock down balls and maybe challenge VanDijk. Of course, besides tactics and personnel decisions - I’m not sure what other responsibilities fall under the managers purview.
  20. Poland making Giroud look quick right there. Unless Poland can get one back early in the second, I think this France may get another four spot. And Lloris immediately on a walkabout trying to keep ratings up.
  21. I hate how so many teams have shied away from the three color uniforms by fucking around with the short/sock color. France should be blue/white/red. Brazil should be yellow/blue/white. Mexico should be green/white/red. Poland with a present on this free kick and Tchouameni with an unlucky card. Wow. Much better from Poland. No idea how two of those stayed out.
  22. Poland providing marginally more resistance today than 1939. Assuming chalk wins today, they may drub England by 4.
  23. Maybe Ghana will get a modicum of revenge.
