France 2-1 (prediction)

What are tonight's lottery numbers;-)

In terms of expectations versus historical performance, England is the Texas A&M of international soccer...but with less buggery.

My ass: England is Notre Dame.

Resources, history, won something in the past (technically, Irish won more)...

...can't win shit today.

 

[Dee-Liem]

Seriously. I've probably seen Kane hit 25-30 PK's in his career.

His best shot is low to the keeper's right (same side as 1st PK). He hits it with power.

I don't know what he was doing. Just stick with your best shot.

 

[Dee-Liem]

For the love of fuck, if you're the England coaching staff, just show the team missed England PK's of the past.

You probably never want to aim high (Chris Waddle say hi from 1990).

 

[Dee-Liem]

You can tell when the referee has kind of lost a game because the two teams look like they're beating the shit out of each other (with fouls).

This Italian ref during the Argentina-Croatia game has lost it and he lost it early.

So many matches now hinging on penalties.

Second one given up by Croatia. Going to be damn hard to come back now

 

[Bestbuck36]

Wow Messi was surgical on that assist. 3-0 Argentina. Party's over for Croatia

 

[Dee-Liem]

Now that it's 3-0, get Messi off the field.

Let him rest his hamstring for the final 20 minutes or whatever.

Argentina is so frustrating. Messi is what elite soccer players should aspire to be. The dude doesn't go to the ground unless you chop a leg off.....and even still, he'll hop around for a bit and nutmeg you while doing it. Everybody else on that team seems like they're trying to win just so they can be gigantic dickheads to you.....not because winning is fun. Hey look.....you scored the goal that won the shoot out. Should you celebrate your achievement, or turn around and mock the other team like a bunch of shit heads?

From Wahl's wife, who is a physician.

"Grant died from the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium," Gounder wrote. "The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms. No amount of CPR or shocks would have saved him. His death was unrelated to COVID. His death was unrelated to vaccination status. There was nothing nefarious about his death."

Thank you for posting this.

I can honestly say I'm pulling for Morocco (even though I have France 3-1).

Make it ugly.

Problem is, if France gets a goal early, that puts Morocco off its game.

 

[Dee-Liem]

Damn, I had Giroud scoring the first goal.

BTW, Morocco's entire gameplan is now gone.

 

[Bestbuck36]

That goal is a reminder of the differences in the US team and these Championship level ones. That world class finisher is still not in our wheel house
