Spanish keeper just contributed to this in spectacular fashion.

I think the 2018 World Cup had a bunch (record amount?) of own goals. Interesting.

I watched Portugal bite it last night. I had forgotten how much I fucking hate those diving pussies.

Spain blew a 3-1 lead in stoppage time. But then flipped the switch back on in Extra Time, up 5-3.

Yeah things got nutty. Croatia actually had a couple early chances in Extra Time then lost all their bite.

What the heck?

And now the France game is mirroring Spain. Early goal to underdogs, 3 straight for France/Spain and then a blown lead, 3-3 going to extra.

Crazy day.

I don’t know



I do know you should play your keeper to either side of the actual goal whenever possible to avoid this. But yikes.

 

[OHSportsFan]

These penalties. Icy.

8 for 8 of the best you could kick.

 

[OHSportsFan]

And of course one of the best in the world, Kylian Mbappe bottles the final one.

Bye France

Well.once its all over, and there are 3 more of these maybe someone will Supercut them together. The only 2 I think I saw were GK's not handling the ball (or whatever that was) I'm just curious what the rest were.

Fun day to have off and watch some good ball. Damn good ball work. Plus a shootout is always fun.

Those two matches today...wow. Spain and France both blow 3-1 leads late - helluva job by Croatia and Switzerland - then we get a huge upset via penalties.

Can't wait for England 0-0 Germany tomorrow, with the Germans advancing on penalties. Sweden-Ukraine has 1-0 written all over it, probably on a PK for Sweden.

 

[OHSportsFan]

England deserve nothing good to ever happen in a major tournament. So much talent but completely tight, boring, cynical play.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Maybe they’ll finally decide to take off one of their 5 (6ish really) defenders and put Sancho or Grealish in the game. No, that would be too risky to try to win.

edit- here comes one of them.

Not to say Germany is much better with their tactics. Awful football compared to yesterday’s action.
