wc KO day 2 :: vlad makes the call

[Woodrow Call 494]

This is where the long midfield cross is effective. Spain should use it more. When they did, it created a good chance.  It creates space by stretching the defense and forces the defense to turn its back to one side of the field making it easier for someone to sneak through the back.

[Woodrow Call 494]

WTF is Thiago?

[Captain Ron 12887]

More extra time?

[DeepEastTexas 644]

Finally, an honest exciting chance!

[berlinerbaer 678]

My pulse quickened a bit. More of that pls, k thanx bye

Fox doesn’t do PL games (I think?), us bundesliga fans are going to have to deal with her shit. 

I know. But I don’t need anyone getting any ideas.

Pique was held big time

The rest of the world is finally catching up to our fatness.  Seriously, seeing the locals in Southern Europe now, compared to twenty years ago, is shocking. 

[DeepEastTexas 644]

Putin in the corner of the VAR room

[C-Man 27239]

the fix is in

Yup

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

they were kind of holding each other.   so I sort of understand the no call---- even though it was a massive hold

[GabrielsHorn 2186]

Inconsistent VAR is so so frustrating 

[Woodrow Call 494]

In a war, it's a good idea to bet on the Russians. 

[ScottishHorn 172]

I prob wont stop laughing for a week if Russia gets a fluke goal here to win

very true, I like to think they would have called it if not for the OG, but the rest of the game indicates otherwise.

Golovin has played 117 minutes and just out sprinted an extra time sub...

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

i see at least 4 players cramping right now

[Captain Ron 12887]

Fuck it, if this goes to PKs, I rooting for Russia.

[HenryJames 66135]

Russia has one shot on goal in 120 minutes.

[ScottishHorn 172]

Gutsy effort by Russia.  I have to say.  Of course, holding a defensive position is probably a genetic trait by now

No. No it wouldn’t.

 

I don't ever root for any Spanish teams, club or country. I do think it'd be cool to see them go out.

[Grade of D as in David 13253]

Lol at the Russian in the furry hat giving the bird to the camera

[UTEX_ME 4766]

No way Spain wins

[Hagbard Celine 10898]

[Woodrow Call 494]

The Russians are playing their asses off defensively. Maybe Putin has his own version of Vasily Blokhin and that's the motivation. Spainish manager getting badly out managed.

It would be funny if Spain lost this game, but really no, fuck Russia.

I say that more as an anti-Spain than pro-Russia point of view.

Packed it in for 116 mins. So he had juice to burn 

[Woodrow Call 494]

Don't care for either of these teams. I'm pulling for the Croatian Vols at this point.

Nah, he’s been box to box and part of almost all their counters. He smoked Rodrigo on a 60 yard sprint. I’m not saying juice, but juice. 

[Grade of D as in David 13253]

Well without the cool hats maybe

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

I don't hate Iniesta (sp)

[HenryJames 66135]

De Gea guessed right.

[ScottishHorn 172]

Goooooooooaaaaaaaaallllllll

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

I also think it is fun when the host team does well.

[HenryJames 66135]

Choke!

[ScottishHorn 172]

Uh oh...
