USA kinda sucks!
- Well, they're through to the last 16, so ...Continuity
- Will go against Netherlandsgrafician
- USA played a stupid defensive strategy the second half, and their defense is not that strongKrassy
- USA is strong when they play offensively as an underdog. Hopefully they bring that out against Holland.Krassy
- They don't preserve their energy. There should be times where they slow it down but keep possession. Instead they keep attacking and then burn out.Beeswax
- Also taking out Dest was a mistake. Their defense is good but they stopped pressing in the 2nd half so Iran was able to come closer.Beeswax
- I think they have a good chance against Netherlands. I hope Pulisic comes backBeeswax
- @Beeswax agreed with all you said, yeahKrassy

As a footballer outsider, this one seems really... quiet.
None of the uproar or public jubilation, no shouts from windows. nothing. I had no idea 'til checking that England - FUCKING ENGLAND, THE LOUDEST CUNTS IN THE UNIVERSE - won 3-0, even if against their brothers out in the West.
Just the time difference? If so, what about all the other tournaments worldwide?
- I think it's the fact that it's in morally-problematic Qatar that makes it more subdued.Continuity
- It's also cold outside. No one wants to waste expensive heat by opening a window to shout.Chimp
- Yeah, reckon it's the weather. Summer tournaments peeps are in beer gardens and hanging around in the street post-match. Too cold and wet for that.Fax_Benson

We're losing interest in this, wrong time of the year for a WC
- Yup.
Wrong country, too.Continuity - Too cold for beer. It's like 4c here. Last thing I want is a beer.shapesalad
- Tell you what I'm not missing, though: seeing Jogi Löw on the touchline picking his nose, and sniffing his hand after he's rubbed his balls with it.Continuity
- Yup.

- Would love for Japan to make itspl33nidoru
- Yup, me too.Continuity
- My partner, she's German, is watching it while I work. I had to check the results as she already screamed "oh damn" at least 7 times. I hope Costa Rica wins.oey_oey
- For a moment both Spain and Germany were going out.Chimp
- So far, it's a 2:2 draw. Germany drawing against a Concacaf team ... they're really slumming, now.Continuity
- @Chimp that would be massive!oey_oey
- Ooooh, looks like Germany might be saving their bacon ... 3:2Continuity
- specially if Spain scoresoey_oey
- 4:2! Nothing like the fear of swift and merciless recriminations from BILD back home to light a fire under your arse!Continuity
- Die mannschafted!Chimp
- Well, that's Germany out!Continuity
- I had 3:2 to Japan, pretty close!Gardener
- Seeing as CA crashed out (again), and FR don't need extra support from me, I'll go all-in on JP from here on in.Continuity
- It was a fair came, no yellow cards and a female referee who had everything under control. The better wins. Congrats to Japan!SimonFFM

Japan when they were drawn into Group E
- Gardener2
- technically it was still on the line by 1mm, and so still in play...shapesalad
- So, is the question, how did Japan beat Spain and Germany - or - how did Costa Rica beat Japan?toemaas
- Congrats to Japan, but in my understanding this ball is clearly out. I don't care. Didn't expect Germany to go one round further.SimonFFM
- This looks out to me.Chimp
- All of a sudden Germans aren't so strict on rules anymore.palimpsest

- the grass is greener?BabySnakes
- The law is that the the ball is in play "if the curvature of the ball is over the line", irrespective of how small a part of it is.Beeswax
- @Beeswax, true! I wonder, after looking at this, the rule should be changedChimp
- It would be the same problem, there will always be a limit. Some people will always be on the other side of the line.palimpsest
