Let's face it. The concacaf teams are the junk yard dogs of any tournament. I know Mexico would like to be in there with the euro's but they ain't. Mexico got what they needed, the chain yanked. Now they are ready.
OT: World Cup
- Thread starter 2300 Nueces
- Start date
The announcer on telemundo was cracking me up. He was talking in Spanish about the reason that Sweden kept trying to get corner kicks in the match. "Sweden has a cultural advantage during corner kicks. This is why they are aggressively trying to achieve them. They can't be victorious by playing Mexico straight up so they must use their cultural advantage....".
Translation: Mexicans are short and Swedes are tall.
MM, that ain't me saying that, that's telemundo. Messenger = not getting shot
Meh, I'm just glad to see when the traditional powers go down. Love hearing about the unexpected teams win/advance. Still haven't watched on minute of that stuff.
BS.... they thought that tiny Korean dude was a piñata.
Ironic Japan go through on "fair play" rule. What an embarrassment the last 12-15 minutes of the Japan-Poland game...
This is common in soccer. It is amazing how emotional people are in other countries compared to the US. We must seem almost mechanical on TV in other countries.
Mexico is in shambles. They elect a socialist president and lose a world cup match to Brazil ....... all within 24 hours. Coincidence???

This is the best World Cup I have seen. '98 is now 2nd. The entertainment, drama, etc. has been incredible.
It's been good but I can do with less drama on the field. The refs should be penalizing the flopping/diving. This would go a long way in boosting ratings in the usa. I know a lot of people who won't watch because of the drama.
Basketball is nearly the same with the flops. I hate it.
As a conservative, it's worrisome that it could go the way of Venezuela. The corruption is rampant at all levels and ingrained in their everyday governance. The people are so desperate and untrusting of the PAN/PRI that this is the direction they feel that will reduce the gap between the rich and poor. Obrador's motto of "don't lie, don't steal and don't betray the people" resonates with the commons.
What's fascinating to me is when liberal organizations are against Mexico being an asylum alternative because of racism, sexism, homophobia and crime yet they attack Trump when he criticizes illegal immigration for the same thing.
Clob, do any of the no-name teams have a shot to win it all? Go Iceland.
At this point, Russia and Croatia are your big underdogs. To a lesser extent England and Sweden are dogs too. It's too bad France and Brazil are on the same side of the bracket. I think France and Brazil are the 2 best teams at the moment.
Holy crap. These soccer fans are nuts in Mexico. We are down here on vacation and have started watching the last half hour of games in the bar. The England/Columbia game was kinda scary. I'd say the Columbian fans were better behaved, because the English fans were pure white trash.
30 minutes after the game we saw a fat English fan from the bar slapping around his wife/girlfriend on the balcony. He might have thrown her over if they lost.
From here on out I am pulling for the shittier country. Soccer should be played in shitty countries and won by the poor. It only seems fair. Hope all the European teams get beat. European fans are terrible, even worse than LSU fans.

This is no joke-- domestic abuse calls in England are 82% higher after England loses.

England has street gangs that form around SOCCER teams. This is colossally stupid. They have nothing else to do except go to the pub, get drunk, and fight over who can kick the ball hardest. At least the street gangs in the USA fight over turf/profit among other things.... both need to be shut down.
It's ok, I am part of the chub club myself.
But that guy was huge, probably 3 bills.

Yeah, people that want to find fault will. I'm sure they ignore all the fault in ⚾️ etc. because they somewhat understand the game and/or played it. It is what it is.
I had one dude ask me how hard they kicked the ball. He said "25-30 mph?" . Try 70mph, lol.
Football is 90% commercial, huddle, waiting on a freaking coach to call a play. Basketball has flopping...he'll the MVP of the league is the biggest one. Baseball is so freaking long and drawn out. Hockey you can't follow the puck.
Those things are ignored because they want to ignore them.
