i may go take a nap and set my alarm for 90 minutes from now since neither team are interested in a regulation goal

[Jive Turkey 13005]

Ronaldo with a pitiful acting job. Ref saw right through it. 

[kingkoopa6 8706]

Oooooo Ronaldo wifey.  

[Hagbard Celine 11254]

maybe that will liven things up.... just swallow the whistle and let 'em go concacaf

[kingkoopa6 8706]

Holy shyt 

[Captain Ron 13133]

Oh snap, that shot!

[Hagbard Celine 11254]

[TexArcher 39072]

Man, that's a straight red for me.  Scissored the leg from behind and knew what he was doing.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

How can you argue that card? Fucking idiot.

LoL

What do you expect them to say? "Thanks for the card"?

No, numbnuts, I expect them to plead not to get a red or to express concern for the player they hacked. A caution there was deserved, possibly even fortunate.

[WBT 20978]

Hate to see KDB have to go out

[Hagbard Celine 11254]

going to have to start carding the templars

and there it is

And he probably knows that. But they are going to plead their case, they are professionals. They are hoping to put some doubt into the refs head on the next call - maybe when Pepe does the same thing, make the ref question is that worth a card?

Guess we see it differently, but when I see a player who is only given a yellow for a deliberately reckless challenge from behind, most of them express some level of concern for the individual they just trashed as well as gratitude to the ref for his leniency.

Protesting that the caution wasn't deserved is idiotic and, if I were that ref, I'd start looking for an excuse to ship him out, particularly now that KdB has gone out.

In other words, he'd be on very, very thin ice.

how was that a belgian foul

I too think he crossed a Line of Demarcation with that take down

But this certainly isn't how european refs call these. For a 2nd yellow, it almost needs to be a red card level foul.

Well, the first yellow would've been a red-card-level foul to many so ...

That’s a fucking Red.  Throw him out

[Surly Bevo 25748]

Lukaku should go beat Pepe's ass

My first thought too.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Wow wow wow. Portugal unlucky there.

[Hagbard Celine 11254]

belgie are going to advance with no kdb and no eden

[PittsburghTiger 6344]

It’s over. Nice job Belgium 🇧🇪 

[Ted Lange 16413]

PISS ON PORTUGAL.

The last 25 minutes of that match were intense. As @Hagbard Celine noted, sucks that two of the tournament's most entertaining players might not be able to play for Belgium vs. Italy. If Eden pulled a hammy, he's done.

[Ted Lange 16413]

Italy looking on at all those Belgium injuries

De Boer is a shit coach. 
 

quincy promes is not in any way a defender and Malen was their biggest goal threat even a man down.

I kind of like a Croat upset today. Thoughts?

[Hagbard Celine 11254]

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez gave this update after the game.

“It was a really bad tackle [on De Bruyne] and we will see. We have no diagnosis. Hazard is a muscle injury and we will see in 48 hours,” Martinez said.

De Bruyne and Hazard will both undergo scans in the next 24 hours to see if they can play against Italy in Munich on Friday.

Photos showed De Bruyne walking off the team plane with no protective boot and without a limp, so that is positive for the Belgium camp.

[Ted Lange 16413]

Gonna really suck if KDB cant go.

[PittsburghTiger 6344]

This game should be fun. I’m rooting for Croatia 🇭🇷 

[Ted Lange 16413]

Go Spain! ($ reasons).

 

[Ted Lange 16413]

WTF

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Wow. Hahaha

[alincoln 2391]

Haha.  One of the great gaffes in major tournament history

[RamjetFDO 10652]

Yup -- 'keeper nightmare.  I'd rather be beaten by a midfield lob like the Scottish 'keeper had to suffer than have a howler like that.

[PittsburghTiger 6344]

What a terrible mistake.  Wow

[Firemans4Horn 18533]

Busquets will escape criticism but that was a shit pass hit way too hard back to his goalie. 

[ztejas 44227]

I missed the goal... sounds like it was bad.

I mean, I see that Croatia has 0 shots on target so it must have been pretty bad.
