The first half of Portugal v Colombia was really good stuff. They are both very, very talented.
I'd love to see one of the teams that is always a contender, but has never won it, take home the championship this year. Netherlands, Porto, Belgium...
Yes, I would also like to see some bum-*** country win instead of my country!

Come on you bum *** trash soccer players. Score f***ing goals. Stop trying to settle for 0-0 scoreless ties specifically you f***ing clowns.

See? Even the lowly third world countries can score goals. Try f***ing harder Portugal and Colombia.

No one gives a f*** that you win the Group with a scoreless as* tie.

Id love to see us make a run, but realistically I dont see that happen. I specifically mentioned teams that have historically been serious contenders, that have never won, but who are at a current level that it wouldn't be a shock to see them win. I thought my intent was obvious, but I guess not.
I also regret taking a glance at the posts of the retards I have on ignore. Nothing good. An ever come with that mistake.

Haha I know. I know it’s not happening and agree with your post. I’ll be happy to get 1 win in knockout, 2 would be amazing!

Any good reason Messi came in off the bench against a shagged out Jordanian team?

Haha Austria just scored a minute later in stoppage time. Both advance w the tie. Not sure if that was great or rigged 🤣
It’s because the winner plays Spain and the loser plays Switzerland. Think his teammates were pissed when Mahrez scored. They wanted to give up the goal right after.

If USA wins they get the winner of Belgium v Senegal. Can Belgium win that match?

The loser would have been eliminated & Iran would have advanced. Both teams were doing absolutely nothing before the last 2 minutes.
The Austria-Algeria game? There was a winner and a loser and both advanced, the winner having the significantly worse r32 matchup

Belgium hasnt looked good offensively other than piling up goals against a bad team. Either way, the winner will be favored against US.

Senegal won't. We just beat them.

I based that on FIFA rankings pre-tournament. We've moved ahead of them currently, but if they beat Belgium they probably move back in front of us.
We can certainly beat either of those teams (assuming we beat Bosnia), but it thi k the opponent will be favored over us.

Wow Canada. Late game drama the last couple of games

That was an odd game. SA had possession more, Canada had way more shots; almost never real scoring chances for either, outside of the winning goal.
That's why you dont clear it right back up the middle...send it to the sideline. It's boring, but it keeps you alive.

Jesse Marsch ball. Dude is a doosher and is all anti-US because we didn't hire him after he was fired from Leeds.
