Cameltoe

Translation: "It's a trap!"

There is no place for grabbing your opponent, hugging him, taking him by the hips, grabbing jersey. All that is dirty, illegal play and should be called.

The Serb was bear-hugged by two Swiss defenders. It's a penalty.

Why is Han Solo refereeing this game?

Things are starting to shake out now and I've seen just about every team play their opener. Here are the longshots I'm rooting for: 1. Japan - Go full Samurai and show the world height is completely unnecessary in Soccer. 2. Panama - Biggest longshot there is, but American and Latino. 3. Iceland - Looks like there's a reason they're here. Let's go country of less than 1 milllion pop! Here are the mid-level teams with a real shot I'm rooting for: 1. Croatia - Actually look like one of the best teams in the field right now. 2. Senegal - Looked far better than Nigeria in their opener. An interesting squad that's not really expected to do much damage but could. 3. Mexico - Closest thing we have to a home team in this and I'm rooting for 'em. As far as favorites: 1. Germay - The should bounce back and I'm still impressed with their dominance 4 years ago. Big fan of Orzil. 2. Belgium - Looked pretty good in their opener. Lukaku seems like a beast. Always love the small countries. 3. Portugal - Cristiano looks way better than Messi at this point. You have to respect the man.

We got a guy to the NBA. #RickBarnesMissionAccomplished

Messi was almost non-existent in that game. It's almost like what good is Messi without several Iniesta's around him to play Messi-ball with. It's almost like they should put the guy in midfield just so that he can get some touches and influence the game. He had very, very few chances vs Croatia.

The Mavs should hold on to Shake. He played nearby at SMU and that dude has NBA point guard written all over him. Good shooter.

I like the Hawks snagging Devonte Graham in the 2nd round. Nice player.

Indeed, dude was Big 10 player of the year this year. Absolutely can't go wrong getting him this late.

Pittman ever getting to the NBA is just fucking LOL. Shake Milton is still available? Take that man.

Good night for the Mavs landing Doncik. Bamba would've been good too, but Doncik is a truly exciting prospect and possibly transcendent talent.

Google translates this for me as "Go take your ass!" which I'll assume to be some sort of Brazilian insult I'm sure Brazil will get a win here, but I love rooting for underdogs in this tournament and there is almost no bigger upset potential than Costa Rica over Brazil.

Poland's 1 goal vs Senegal was a fairly standard header off a set piece, but Andres Cantor's call of it was fucking gold. Best "gooool" scream yet of the tournament.

More blunder than brilliant goal. The Argentine keeper served up a golden opportunity, and the Croatian converted it nicely. But you just can't fuck around like that as a keeper.

This one reminds me of youth soccer tournaments in Houston. Freakin swampland.

Vamos Ticos, señor.

Should be a pretty good match and hotly contested. Serbia won't go down without a fight.

Iceland looked pretty good in their opener. Can't say the same for Nigeria.

Trae Young this high boggles my mind. He is an undersized point in the NBA. Unlikely that he is Steph Curry 2, very unlikely.

Me parece que Argentina no es bueno. Tienen Messi, y nada mas.

Hmmm... interesting prophecy.

Argentina wasn't that good in qualifying either. Just sayin'...

¡Vamos Peru!

Me gusta Dinamarka sobre Australia. Denmark is the team with the ridiculous keeper, right? That guy seemed ridiculously good in their first game.
