wc day 8 :: nut-cutting time

[ScottishHorn 172]

Argentina flowing better.  Getting some chances

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

Argentina have decided to spend more time on their backs than the girls at the Bunny Ranch.

[Firemans4Horn 18064]

Good job by the ref not calling the flop. 

[Jive Turkey 12608]

That was excellent officiating. 

[ScottishHorn 172]

If thats not a foul, I'm Cyndi Lauper

[Bevo Num1 1020]

Argentina is playing sloppy as shit.

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

what a stupid fucking play by the Croatian striker.... you know there are 2 other Croatian players there, you won the ball, dont fucking touch the drama-prone Argentinians and lose you chance at a good shot.

[HenryJames 66079]

That dude almost had the goal of his life.

[Napoleon 8682]

1) GK Willy Caballero continues to suck ass.

2) Mandžukić appears to have been playing in Italy too long.

Why argentina think they can play the ball out through Cabellero baffles me. 

[HenryJames 66079]

lulz 

[Firemans4Horn 18064]

Cool corner kick

My feeling is that Playing Out Of The Back is the way that they are going to play, no matter who the keeper is, AND...

...Sampaoli doesn't want to give Armani his national team debut in the World Cup and especially not in a Must Win (or at least Must Tie) match. Most players have issues with nerves on their debut. The GK is probably the worst position to succumb to nerves.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

Sampaoli looks like a homeless dude wandered into a steakhouse and they made him put on a jacket.

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

squad selection by dog is looking like a bad idea..... huge pressure to score in the next few minutes, otherwise the purinas are getting something today.

[HenryJames 66079]

 lulz 

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

holy fucking shit- how do you miss a true honest-to-god, no keeper, open net from 15 feet away?

Edited June 21, 2018 by AUS-97HORN

[Firemans4Horn 18064]

Lovren gonna lovren

 

2 straight days with terrible finishing

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

There's the Lovren I've come to know and love.

[crash_davis 23113]

[Doc Sam Beckett 5793]

These guys can't stop sucking

[ScottishHorn 172]

Well that will haunt him the rest of his life.  Well done...

[Doc Sam Beckett 5793]

Every time I see Perez, he's making a mistake.....hard to believe there isn't someone better.

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

the soccer gods are going to make argentina pay for maradona's presence

[BlueGreySky 1011]

Get this dude some vagisil.

[Firemans4Horn 18064]

It’s amazing argentina has enough healthy players to continue on. 

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

this tournament is fucking wide open for someone to step up and take it.

i can't believe my bracket is falling apart with ANOTHER fucking sniper hitting his mark

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Yet another Dead Argentinian. 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

Fuck, I think thats a red.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I am sure gordito Maradona has plenty of pharmaceuticals on him.

Borderline for me.

 

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

anyone wanna lay odds on #18 Croatia getting his 2nd yellow today.   Hes really really close to getting another one and turning into a red.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

I think the ref is going to have to pull out some more cards early in the next half or this may turn ugly.

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

this is gonna end up being a real, real ugly game.

[Napoleon 8682]

I don't think that Croatia's #18 plays 90 minutes. 

-Either he gets subbed out.
-Or he gets another yellow card.

He can't play without extending his arms into people's faces or stomping on the opposition.

Another Croatian on the ground...

...that should have been an Argentine foul, but not a yellow, because that was more of a retarded step that took out the Argie than a purposeful stomp.

[GabrielsHorn 2183]

How is that not a yellow? He clearly stepped on his ankle.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I agree. I don’t think it was innocent as Napoleon said.

[AUS-97HORN 11781]

LOL  #18 fucking choked

Edited June 21, 2018 by AUS-97HORN

[Firemans4Horn 18064]

Cool dribbling

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

There will be no finishing today. Good luck.

He was trying cover the pass back to the defender and cut off the outlet.  There was no intent.  He was looking at the ball the whole way and didn't peek down at the feet.

[ScottishHorn 172]

That looked like some 7'4" white doofus leading a fast break in an NBA game...fail

[GabrielsHorn 2183]

It's still a dangerous play, regardless of whether it was intentional or not. It should have been a foul plus a yellow.

This ref really doesn't want to be part of another Battle of Nuremberg though.

An accidental clash of feet deserves a yellow?  It obviously should have been a free kick, but I don't see a yellow.  He didn't go in recklessly.
