I like many things about Switzerland. For starters, their flag is a big plus.

Haaland would simply post up on the opposing goalkeeper all game and wait to be fed

Soccer really needs to take a page from the NFL with the independent concussion doctors...how can a guy get knocked out cold and be back in the game in 2-3 minutes?

Footballroos tie it up.

The amount of flopping in soccer makes the NBA look legit/honorable

FWIW, I would never blow the whistle when play is stopped for injuries.

The goalie change is...ballsy

It's dumb. The guy wasn't warmed up or in the flow of the game.as a keeper.

Yeah, the Aussie's coach is going to get a ton of criticism for everything he decided in the shootout. Better team won though

France playing in Philadelphia on July 4th. Should we hang banners which read, “Vive l’independance!! Merci la France!!”

Pharaohs beat Footballroos!

“Thanks for the statue.”

I agree Egypt is the better team. Yeah, besides the goalie switch, letting that youngster shoot in the pressure cooker was not wise.

Would be appropriate

Real Feel of 106 at kickoff tomorrow...Feeling like losing out on the lottery for tickets to that game worked out pretty well.

A surprising non-call by the ref:

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Unlikely that anybody saw this going to extra time

 

[KingLando]

The flop by Cape Verde's goalie after he got bumped should be a red card...I know it's not but soccer needs to fix this.

But go Cape Verde!

 

[KingLando]

I jinxed them
