[Tired of Lurking 637]

I hope Suarez suffers an actual injury before the end of this match.

[C-Man 27,124]

Uruguay with the worst, most boring kits in the tournament.

[BlueGreySky 1,000]

VAR should bring the refs attention to the fake head grabbing. Not that they can go back and issue a card, but just so he’s aware going forward.

the size, shape and circumstances of this tournament varied from 1930 until 1998, so to effectively count all-time "relevance" i paged through the wikis to get the Final Four for each tournament, because it's the only thing consistent from 1930 to today.  In 1950 for example there wasn't even a final game, just a final group.  For your entertainment, here's the all-time relevance chart, team not here or gone, wins/final4appearances:

 I am an equal opportunity flop hater. 

and suarez is the fucking meistro of flopping.  2014 was pure comedy.

You cure flopping by using VAR and buzzing the official to award a yellow each time they flop.

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

1-1!!!!

[The Tower 362]

all leveled up. 

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

pepe with the header

[mdmost 42,953]

Golllllllllllll

[GabrielsHorn 2,176]

Two amazing headers in this game. 

[kingkoopa6 8,332]

Beast 

[YChang 3,433]

Very nice

[plvhorn 25]

Ronaldo brought the double team and left Pepe running free

[Napoleon 8,634]

Gol de Brasíl!

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

CR7 sniped by his own hands

[GabrielsHorn 2,176]

I think this ref is going by no blood no yellow. 

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Really nice goal! 

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

was there even CONTACT there??

[LonghornJudas 1,093]

Laxalt wasn't even touched, was he?

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

Meola is screaming for a yellow, and I am all for that when warranted, but that replay seemed to show no contact at all on braid boy

 

and he was so busy talking over himself screaming for a yellow that he missed that it was either no contact or absolutely minimal contact

Edited June 30, 2018 by AUS-97HORN

[Fico 1,770]

The ref is on it, this announcer is a giant pussy.

If your going to fake a head injury, or flop on minimal/no contact your ass isn’t getting the call.

Godin totally fucked up. He was so out of position to guard CR7 that he should have just jumped up behind him in case the ball went over his head. 

Just horrrrrrrrible. 

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

2-1 urugs

[InkaUtexas 25,597]

Belleza! 

[mdmost 42,953]

What a breakdown there by Portugal. Just some shit defending. Yeah, don't keep track of Cavani. He's not that good.

Edited June 30, 2018 by mdmost

[The Tower 362]

that was a pretty goal for uruguay 

[kingkoopa6 8,332]

Wow

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

god he was so open that was like practice and he just looked like he barely tapped the ball in

[TexArcher 37,666]

Edinson is just lethal.  Made that look so easy.

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Wow, pretty strike!

[Napoleon 8,634]

Cavani came to play. 

Apparently the girl behind me claims him as her novio. 

[Anastasis 23,404]

Lol wut.

I know they’ve been wearing them for ages. I think they’re boring. Wear all blue or something.

[Dr. Teeth 5,842]

That goal really fired up Mary Carrillo. 

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

10 goals on a day where there are only 2 games is a pretty solid day

 

and we have 25 mins left

[Cheeseweasel 26,438]

Another fun match

Pics?

[AUS-97HORN 11,726]

ref is an equal opportunity no-caller, he wants everyone actually with broken bones or dead before he calls a yellow

[Napoleon 8,634]

^ Este!

Today I was thinking “Now is when the ‘1-nil’ games begin.

Should have two refs on the field at all times. One on each half. Seems obvious.....
