Spain has a bunch of Carlos Alcarazs out there with a few raffi nadals
...Quick twitch athletes.

 

[SeaPA]

How big of an upset could we be looking at?

Spain hasn't lost in two years. I think today would make 37 matches since their last loss (they do have 5 or 6 draws in the string)

 

[WDDT]

Thats a pen

 

[WDDT]

Down goes France...

 

[SeaPA]

Spain was my pre-tournament pick to win it, and I have not seen anything yet that makes me think differently. They're also a pretty young team that will probably be among the favorites next time.

France is wasted on the French.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

I really didn't think France would lose. Like the US... bad day to have a bad day.

Still, Spain is really good.

No we unite behind England, right?

Idk, that fanbase is insufferable

You see, there's a fan base near the great state of Iowa that shares several, SEVERAL qualities that are of similar nature to those of the typical English fan. While England has some fun players and a great manager, I loathe their fans. I wish three Argentine pks in a 3-2 win in which England out possesses them 80-20 and out shoot them 15-3.

Try being in San Antonio...it's all Mexico and Argentina. ...and don't dare speak poorly of Mexico here. Oooof.

Big viewership numbers

US v Belgium 50 million

England v Mexico 47 million

A lot of nonsense babbling after the numbers were mentioned

Why, was he reading your Mamdani thread?

Gross... have you told them Mexico and the US are pretty much the same? If they don't like that have you asked them to compare results the last cycle?

 

[WDDT]

The 90-minute moneyline odds price England at approximately +170, Argentina at +200, and a draw at around +190

 

[TC_Nole_OX]

Now that France is out......England over the refs/Argentina today and Spain to win the final

Public is all over England to advance. Kinda makes me want to take the Arg +200

Come on England!

 

[An Iowa fan]

This match started ugly and getting more ugly by the minute.

 

[aCEOuProbablyKnow]

EQUITY!!!!

 

[WDDT]

Simeone doesn't do cocaine, cocaine does Simeone.

 

[OnlyTheObscure]

I have been saying “hand of god” all day at work to sound informed and hip.

 

[RockyMtNole]

Simeone is a piece of work

 

[WDDT]

This thing is going to get spicy.



Also, Messi is amazing.

 

[RockyMtNole]

I like this Gordon kid

 

[RockyMtNole]

Feels like Messi is going to get a penalty before this is over

 

[Torbee]

England going to the soccer equivalent of "prevent defense" (subbing in cornerbacks, packing themselves back into their own third) at the 60th minute was sofa king dumb.

They deserve to lose if it happens.

Did the same thing vs Mexico...of course they were down a man then, but yes. "Prevent The Win" formation is in full effect.

It was way too early

 

[Torbee]

Wow, England s.hitting the bed like they ate a head of romaine lettuce

 

[EdgarAllenPodolak]

Wow!

 

[RockyMtNole]

Messi plays like he’s 25

There is no Messi-Ronaldo debate in my mind.

I just told my son (Ronaldo fan) the same thing. His response, "That's because Messi actually has a good team around him. Ronaldo doesn't!"

@Torbee, aka @FaTorbz, who believes a guy who played his retarded children over two NBA first-rounders should be a forever-coach

Wow, England s.hitting the bed like they ate a head of romaine lettuce pulled out of RFK Jr.s' butthole!

"Congratulations on a race well-run."
