I’ve been really enjoying the World Cup. Some great games. One thing that’s weird to me is seeing g people from other countries coach the teams. I get why it happens but that seems weird.
I meant to ask yesterday. Where did you go to watch the Mexico game?
I know they are our biggest rival, but i had a blast last night watching their match at a local Mexican restaurant. I was the only gringo in the place but had a blast drinking Modelo & watching with the rowdy packed house. Even knocked down a couple of shots of Don Julio that were brought to me by a couple of guys I'd coached when they played in the youth league with my sons.
Yeah… I need a soccer aficionado to ‘splain that call to me. Looked like the defender got his foot stepped on. How is that a penalty?That's a garbage call, you can't call that to decide the damn game.
What is really dislike there is that Belgium essentially gets two chances to score. They got the shot opportunity, which would traditionally be right because they had advantage & the ref would not call the penalty. Dude choked on the shot, and then they still get the penalty shot.
I zdont think they should get two for the price of one.
It’s a weak penalty but still a penalty. Add in the attack angle of the Belgium player was left of goal when hit so there was no chance he was using his right leg to kick the ball to the right. I don’t like the call but understand it and would want it called if it was team USA in that same position. Bad way to lose for Senegal but they had a two goal lead and blew it.That's a garbage call, you can't call that to decide the damn game.

Fair point and I get it. I was in Mexico last week for their game against Czechia. My wife, son and I cheered right along with the Mexicans cause we were having fun. That same group of Mexicans were loving life and mocking us the very next night when Türkiye beat us.
**** Mexico.
I’ve seen them waive off a goal and go back to the penalty. But they do it that way because what if on review it wasn’t a penalty, but the ref had stopped it when they had a chance to score?That's a garbage call, you can't call that to decide the damn game.

BAU..............sigh.
We just need to get out of here with no injuries or red cards
I’m thinking more of us getting fed up and doing something dumb in retaliation.Based on the 1st half, it would have to be pretty bad to get a card in the 2nd.
