Impressive run from Balde to set that up.

La Manita!

Those passing stats were fucking insane. Spain has 700+ more pass attempts but only 3 more missed passes. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,485]

Pobreticos

[ztejas 43,411]

I don't think CRC is getting a point from this group.

Extra point is good.

[Brisketexan 105,057]

Yeah….run that last bit of extra time off and let the Ticos go die with dignity.

[WBT 20,561]

Wow, no attempts on goal for CR

Trying to be consistent since goal differential matters.

Supposedly have really emphasized with officials to be ultra precise with getting a full 90 minutes.  

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,767]

The announcer said “Costa Rican defense” in a sentence.  What’s he looking at that we’re not seeing?

[ztejas 43,411]

Only down a TD. Ticos need a good drive here.

Yea but is there any top flight soccer competition where goal differential doesn't matter?  

[InkaUtexas 25,857]

Spanish player consoling the CR keeper. "Si Hermano, we are Spain." 

[WBT 20,561]

Very possible that Spain and Japan are both through after Sunday

I would say mercy rule but with goal differential if you can hand out a beating you hand it out until the last second.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,817]

I was critical about World Cup being played in November…but damn it’s nice having something to watch besides daytime tv during this holiday week

[NorthLoop 14,180]

Hey Cobi, might be time to consider a new hairstyle

Yeah it's been nice. But it would have been nice in July, too. 

Work is slow right now and my typical lunch is 12-1. So I watch the end of the first game on FOX, grab lunch, then come back for kick for the 2nd game.

Yeah, all it takes is Spain even drawing to Germany then it is in a rock fight with Japan while Germany plays CRC.   A loss to Germany, and Spain is all of the sudden pretty nervous.  This could be one of those groups where top 3 teams all get 6 points, so yeah, goal differential is important.

I presume you are also trying to avoid Belgium in round of 16 in the event Japan and Spain are through after game #2 and a draw can win the group.

Agreed. The sports abyss sucks after the nba finals

Also it’s nice the games are live here. Not some 4AM bullshit

Opposed to the usual 85%?
