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

gave my teen a £1 bet on the England v Wales match tonight and he put it on England to win 4:3 at 125/1, so good luck with that then!

- at least is better to watch compared to american footballmilfhunter
- Or baseball, or hockey, or basketball, or ...Continuity
- that Bill Murray?dopepope
- if you want to watch 15 minutes of commercials for every 1 minute of action then watch the NFL.hotroddy
- @milf wrongmonospaced
- Curling is more exciting than soccer.utopian
- @milf: you're on crack. I don't give two shits about football (any version), but the NFL infinitely more exiting.section_014
- That definitely looks like a young Bill Murray.CyBrainX
- the aesthetic of soccer is lost on the unsophisticatedhotroddy
- “Football (soccer) is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen.”PhanLo
- I agree with that. South American teams look like inmates released from prison w neck tattoos & arm sleeves. Not to mention they're floppers and cry-babies.hotroddy
- Those darkies are staining the pristine elegance of European football.palimpsest
- not sure what you mean when 99% are European immigrants. Uruguay and Argentinahotroddy
- Oh do let's find reasons to condescend to those awful working class people and their
brutish games. Right on.NonEntity - next to what? Amercian "football", baseball and even basketball? two 45 min halves and done, can't say the same for that American nonsensenecromation
- Don't take it too serious, have a beer.PhanLo
- There are always a few minutes out of every 90 minutes that are very exciting.robthelad

o boy. I've once been to a match of the Chicago Blackhawks which is ice hockey. Worst time in my whole visit in Chicago. Too many breaks. Just Play!milfhunter - Hockey is a waste of fucking time, ugh.Continuity

The world cup with the biggest surprises since I can remember. In most 1st phase groups, anything can happen. As expected, many players injured due to the time of the year. Personally, I like it that way. It has been a very unpredictable and entertaining tournament so far.
My top 3 faves:
Brazil
Spain
France

Belgium v Morocco now. If it's a goalless draw, then Canada will still have a bit of a fighting chance (assuming Herdman starts Larin this time, and the forwards actually finish).
- And, for the love of god, don't let Davies take the spot.Continuity
- And I hope Buchanan finally learns to fucking pass, instead of blowing his load prematurely.Continuity
- You’re all in on Canada, eh @Continuity? I had to take gravel before that first game to calm the stomach...ideaist
- Well, I kind of have to be, yeah? Since one of my two passports is a CA one, and I was born in Ottawa ...Continuity
- Indeed you do! I’m French/Dutch/Canadia... SOOO always wearing 3 jerseys like a hybrid.
: )ideaist - I'll go back to supporting FR after CA exit stage left. :PContinuity
- We accept all of you les amis!spl33nidoru
- Morrrrrrrrocco!! HahaIanbolton
- Boom!Chimp
- A second goal too. Loves these “minnows”hardhat
- God damn.Continuity
- This means Canada has to score big, because it looks like this group is going to all come down to goal difference.Continuity

Japan vs Costa Rica - what a mess! LOL
- That first half was just abominable.Continuity
- looked funny! world class futbol! LOLKrassy
- how the hell did Japan beat Germany??Krassy
- How the hell did both Japan and Costa Rica qualify?? LOL!Krassy
- Shit, I missed it. Worth a replay or just garbage ?spl33nidoru
- "highlights"
https://hoofoot.com/…Gardener - @spl33nidoru Yeah, pretty much garbage. The first half, I'm not even sure what game the two teams were playing. It wasn't football, that's for sure.Continuity
- Thanks Continuity, skip then. That would explain Germany's loss. Good teams can be disabled by lower teams with mind-boggling play styles.spl33nidoru
- Well, it should also be noted that DE simply shat the bed, in any case. They're a long, long way away (in the wrong direction) from their 2014 team.Continuity
- Right, it's a cycle. Will be interesting to see DE vs SP tonight.spl33nidoru
- I fully expect ES to win, probably 2:1Continuity

Aaaaaaand — to absolutely no-one's surprise — France are through.
- Was more of a struggle than I would have liked it to be, but glad for that 2nd Mbappé goal. I don't think he has any rivals right now in terms of speed.spl33nidoru
- He's so fast indeedCalderone2000

This ENG vs USA 0:0 draw was totally intentional! - both teams trying to avoid being 1st in the group and in turn going up against France in the 1/8 finals.
England plans on losing to Wales (0:1) and hopes USA will beat Iran. In that scenario, England advances as the 2nd in their group, ending up on a path to face off against France all the way at the final.

Both England and USA playing chess right now.
