[AUS-97HORN 11770]

omfg  Japan misses a sure fucking goal... just touch the fucking ball

[TexArcher 37798]

How does he miss??

[CurlyDumps 4471]

Does completely whiffing also count as wondo’ing?

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

well hell, nips might score here

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

yeah that one was bad

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

2-1 senegal

[Surly Bevo 24943]

Pretty footwork and finishing...

 

[Jive Turkey 12604]

This game has been action-packed. 

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

sad nips.

but this senegal team may be the real deal.  won't know until we see how they do against Colombia (assuming a Colombia win this afternoon keeps them in play).

[staboner 4974]

beautiful redirection in the box on that score

yes, very compelling, entertaining.  not much bitchassedness.  hard fouls that are needed and well taken, NKVD snipers taking the day off.

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

good grief.... japan keeps trying to get the ball on their dominant foot instead of just taking a decent shot that probably goes in 60% of the time

These are the guys that called off the third wave at Pearl Harbor.....

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

open goal   japan ties it

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

nippon team fighting

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

honestly this game has been pretty exciting, kind of reminds me of portugal/spain without the star power

[elfenix 34258]

nicely done keeping that ball in

[ScottishHorn 172]

What a horrible play by goalie

[Jive Turkey 12604]

I don’t think we’re done yet. Somebody is gonna be a hero. 

[ScottishHorn 172]

Honda is a good player.   I've always liked him

[WBT 20580]

Nice to see Honda still doing it in the World Cup.  Maybe my favorite goal from South Africa:

NIPPON!

[ScottishHorn 172]

I'm expecting a ninja move for the win

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

there might have been a handball there

nope just a normal block 

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

full time

[Bevo Num1 1017]

That was a quick end.

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

great game, guessing a lot of people skipped this one

[WBT 20580]

Good game.  I'm pulling for a draw in the next game to set up the chance of a 4 way tie in this group.

Probably. Not much star power. But the Liverpool fans I’m sure watched to see Mane. 

We were treated to a good one. 

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

a little fucking early for both sides to have been hit by snipers

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

i dont even think he touched the keeper?   mabe Im wrong

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

oooh, who is she?  moar.

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

yeah i guess he caught the top of his leg.

 

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

wow that might actually be worth a yellow card

[Stringer 1439]

It drives me insane that Japan is playing well in the World Cup due to one man, Tom Beyer.  Yet, US Soccer won’t bring him home and give him a legit shot at helping them.

[Monster 219]

Pretending to be hurt is what has kept me from getting completely into soccer.  I absolutely love the world cup.  I think it's my favorite 'world championship' in all of sports...

but good god, watching grown men roll around on the ground every time they get touched is such a buzz kill.   

 

[Surly Bevo 24943]

This crowd is pretty jacked up.  

[Trey3216 15346]

This is a total flopfest so far 

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

well, this game looks lo be the gold match game of the fakers olympics

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

memo to Colombia: don't order your 3rd kit from Idaho

[Monster 219]

Has any team ever just played through all contact?  Like, a coach says, 'this match, maybe we don't fall to the ground unless we actually lose our balance...this match, we just keep playing through contact'.  

I feel like a team with that approach (if equally matched talentwise) would dominate.  If nothing else, it'd surprise the other team who expects them to flop.

pretty slick give and go by the columbians.

[AUS-97HORN 11770]

columbia are morons.... 2 on zero and they dont even manage to get a shot off

that would be the US National Team, who never get the call, and who have learned that it's pointless to flop.  the brutal assaults the nats endured in the late '90s and early '00s especially on the road (in los angeles, new york, houston, dallas and central america) would have seen the opposition down to 3 or 4 men anywhere else in the world.
