Pass it, and Pugh scores.

LOVE some Pugh...

[Captain Ron 13119]

Not looking good for Chile 1 minute to go.

[hayden_horn 11402]

this is probably not the thread for this, but why don't we call countries by their actual name? sverige = sweden, and it's not that exotic of a pronunciation.

[Huckleberry 34413]

Nobody calls countries by their native name, although I'm not sure why. Country names, like most things, are translated. But person names are not. It is indeed a bit weird.

We are Amerikas förenta stater in Sweden.

Will you get Mexico to quit saying "Estados Unidos"?

Pretty ho-hum 2-0 ass-kicking. Probably should have been more like 3 or 4 nil.

That's the one that really trips me out, if only because the official name of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos.

Also, I guess I should say here that person names aren't translated unless they're based on a different alphabet.

I haven't seen a replay of the goal itself, but from what I am reading it looks like it was meant to be a cross into the middle of the box that was deflected in.

It was definitely a shot.  Haven't seen any replays after the VAR review, but it looked to me like if there was a deflection, it was a glancing deflection as opposed to a full on redirect by the defender.  Didn't seem like it would have affected the keeper's chances for a save, but I'm not sure since I wasn't able to watch it again. 

seems like the official scoring was always an OG from other comments here, and the coverage on Fox was just not correct initially, then reported it was "changed" to an own goal, instead of more truthfully saying something like "we incorrectly reported that it was a goal credited to Heath"

anyway.

I’ve wondered why we translate Dominican Republic and Cuba but not Puerto Rico or El Salvador or Costa Rica.

Not gonna go back and look at it, but I trust you're right. I could have sworn that Pugh was still behind Lloyd, though.

Because republic is a proper noun used as not just a name but a comment on the nation's establishment and the others are names. 

Not claiming any rhyme or reason just seems straightforward with those examples. Same reason we abbreviated it USSR and not CCCP, and how you get EEUU.

[ATLLonghorn 1085]

If the US loses the team that beats them is going to bunkering and countering. I really don't think there's a team that can beat them trying to play on the front foot. The US looks so much better than the rest of the field.

Seems like broadcasters have been going back and forth on Ivory Coast for a few years now.
Country name talk not going away.

First time I noticed any of this was the "Torino Winter Olympics in 2006" that I thought was to take place in Turin, Italy.

But later that year, Germany did in fact host the FIFA Men's World Cup, because Deutschland didn't make the tournament.

[Captain Ron 13119]

Break for today then:

Saturday: Germany-Nigeria, Norway-Australia

Sunday: England-Cameroon, France-Brazil

Monday: Spain-United States, Sweden-Canada

Tuesday: Italy-China, Netherlands-Japan

That's a nice juicy set of games, Sunday and Monday are going to be fireworks.

[Jive Turkey 12968]

Germany is clearly the better team here.  But they don’t look like the world number 2. Luckily for them, they’re on the easier side of the bracket. 

[Hagbard Celine 11188]

this has been boringaf.

Let's see what the Matildas can do.  They've been fun to watch.

Germany won today and get the winner of Sweden-Canada that don't play until Monday.  Good job there FIFA.

[RamjetFDO 10643]

Here comes VAR.

Shouldn’t be a pk.

yeah, Germany gets a full week of rest.  they play next Saturday.  the other quarterfinal games are Thursday and Friday.  so some teams will get screwed on rest.

Lalas is so fucking annoying, at least he’s only in studio and not involved in calling the actual game.

i've seen one olimpico in person and one on tv in my entire life so this is the third, but i've never seen an olimpico off the ground like that on youtube or in highlights.

Lalas provides more annoyance per minute, but I will concede that Taylor “wins” on total shittiness accumulated per match.  

[Jive Turkey 12968]

come on Kerr.

[RamjetFDO 10643]

come on Kerr.

She's gotta pull the trigger faster than that.

[Jive Turkey 12968]

end to end action already.  Graham for Norway should have one-timed that shot.
