World Cup Day 5 - SWI/CAM, URU/KOR, POR/GHA, BRA/SER

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Ok. I am an idiot in Spanish and know zero portungese but I think I can read this!
”because I kind the music and culture of Brazil and by extension Portugal and Cabo Verde). I’m considering moving to Portugal one day. Right now I have a couple things during the pandemic. Third sentence is a mess. How’d I do on the other two?  I knew they were close but didn’t know there was that much overlap. 

You did better than Brasil is playing right now.

I find the same thing trying to understand Spanish... I'm better than I was but still there are enough differences to really mess me up.

I'm by no means fluent or even close, so I'll defer to the Brasileiros here, but what I was attempting to say was "besides that, what else was there to do during the pandemic?"

Fodendo?

Damn straight. Wanting to understand the lyrics and the culture was a big impetus to me (tropicalia and MBP as well).

So... I cheer for Brasil and all my normal friends say to hell with that - more mayhem plz!

Serbia is roughing them up bro.  They are barely getting the control before a hard challenge comes in.

 

Vamos nessa Brasil!

What’s interesting for me is that I can’t hardly converse with a native speaker but can usually do ok with someone with Spanish as a second language. It’s like we are the same level of idiot to understand each other. 

[BrickHorn 18,424]

The South American teams have been boring to watch. But I’m partial to Spanish style total football.

[Brisketexan 106,617]

When Portuguese is needed, I mostly stumble along with Spanish.

All the Portuguese I know, I learned when we stayed on the Brazilian side at Iguazu: nao, sim, obrigado, pao de queijo, and leite quente. Oh, and cubim - FANTASTIC cut of beef.
Enjoy watching the Brazilian side, felt really bad for them when Germany DESTROYED them at home a coupla cups ago.

[ztejas 44,114]

Brazil is kind of like Texas football.

Will never forget the first phrase we were taught at UT. O rapaz, que voce esta muy gordo.... 

When I want to go to Portuguese I usually fuck up and speak Bosnian. Don't know why. 

Also, speaking Spanish means you can fuck up real easily in Portuguese. Brincar is not the same in both languages. 

Half times suck..... Like the off season.

That 7-1 drubbing was very satisfying!

Literally the only difference is that Texas has 13 more losses over the past three years.

That’s Brazil. A bunch of random talent kind of doing their own thing. Their tactics are laughable but they just have so much more individual skill at every position. 

[ztejas 44,114]

That was awful by Neymar. 

[elfenix 34,658]

great tackle

[YChang 3,531]

Wow, what a goal

[ztejas 44,114]

Unreal. Goal of the tourney. 

[Captain Ron 13,096]

Wowowow

welp that settles that

Gol!!!!! Puta que pariu que gol!!!

[Wulaw Horn 19,560]

Someday it would be so cool if we had an American do that at the World Cup. Someday before I die. 

[Hagbard Celine 11,157]

for avoidance of doubt i went to check and sure enough richarlison has yet to even score for spurs in 10 appearances

any toffee up in here can comment - did he ever do anything like that with everton?

[Pato del Muerto 53,331]

Juego bonito

celo balboa missed a bike by 1" against colombia

closest we've ever come

[ztejas 44,114]

This is Serbia's window. Richarlison and Vini Jr off the pitch - they only have to deal with Rodrygo and Gabriel Jesus now.

Richarlison’s strike rate for Brazil is insane.

14 appearances (champions league too) 2 goals. 
 

NOTHING like that though.

[ztejas 44,114]

Does "on goal" include balls off the frame?

Serbia is lucky to only have conceded twice either way.

It shouldn’t. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,878]

I’m not a soccer fan.  Really only pay attention during WC.  But, the flopping diminishes the sport.  I guess that’s the only way to get the ONE real official’s attention … but

Maybe put a second real official on the field and dole out penalty minute(s) for flopping.  VAR or whatever the replay is called can quickly separate real from Hollywood.

[ztejas 44,114]

I didn't think so. They had 10 shots on goal a few minutes ago plus at least 2 off the frame that I've seen. 

This is a total ass-whipping.

[WashHorn 127]

Granted I don’t watch a ton of soccer these days, but that was one of the best individual skill goals I’ve ever seen.

It’s supposed to mean any shot that goes in or requires a save by the keeper (in theory, cleared by a defender don’t count). Off the frame is not on target.

Been saying this for years. It helped clean up hockey, would work wonders for soccer.

oh good. here comes the occasional football dabbler to fix the game. like clockwork. 

flopping has improved apart from central america where its basically genetic. you wanna change a half century of genetics? 

as talent has improved worldwide, so has the culture of playing the game (mostly) properly and gentlemanly

also, the women's game has no flopping and is a great product. maybe check them out?

That was my logic.  No save required so no shot on goal. 
Now, if the keeper would happen to punch that same exact shot that hit the post I would assume they’d count it as a shot on goal because they wouldn’t know if the save was required or not. Kind of a weird dichotomy.

three referees in college basketball is over officiating. its fucking maddening to have a foul called every time down the court. there are already 3 refs on the pitch and one in the booth. thats plenty. some complain the 4th ref officiating the VAR has already overreffed soccer.

Serious question- how about the fucking Italians?  Are they still flipping bitches and pussies?  I don’t see them on my World Cup bracket anywhere so no way to know for sure 😊

I was only wondering because Brazil had so many on target I was thinking maybe they had counted the ones off the frame for some reason.
