Suarez is gased

Suarez is gased

For sure, when faking an injury = gased

For sure, when faking an injury = gased

I’ll only say that Portugal seems less affected by the heat. Summer in Russia can be brutal, other than maybe St. Petersburg.

 

[HuskyHawk]

And then that. Terrible defense.

 

[UCDaveD]

Cavani!

 

[superjohn]

Another gorgeous goal.

 

[Jaker]

Cavani is such a force in the mid field

 

[auror]

Oh Silva.

I had to look up who Cavani played for when I saw that. Obviously Suárez and Ronaldo would not likely be friendly. Bit strange.

 

[UCDaveD]

Both games today have been excellent. Hope the rest of the knockout stage is like this.

 

[superjohn]

Cavani was the difference, what a stud.

Adeus Portugal ... guess that foolish yellow & disqualification from the next non-existent game won't matter!

 

[auror]

Great drama in the end here. Great call by the play by play guy, too.

 

[Jaker]

yup, like this Uruguay side

You mean up front? Or tracking back?

Am I the only one that has a certain Hanson song running through his head when Kylian Mbappe is mentioned?

 

[Phorcys]

Man, I love the World Cup!

Both matches today were riveting and exceptional entertainment.

Suarez makes it impossible to route for Uruguay going forward. They should be able to assess him a yellow card after the game for that BS “head injury”.

Suarez makes it impossible to route for Argentina going forward. They should be able to assess him a yellow card after the game for that BS “head injury”.

You shouldn't have to worry, as the Argentina side was knocked out this morning.

I don’t think you have to worry about Argentina advancing in the tournament. LOL!

Whoops!

Well now I do. Thanks dude.

Ugh yeah. He went down later in the game for a similar reason, too.

Ref correctly didn't stop play either time. I think it escalated tensions, but it was correct. Suarez was just gassed and faking the head injury. His workrate was pretty impressive given the heat.

I thought the ref did honestly a great job letting some of the weaker sheeeeiit go. Letting the game get pretty intense and physical. It almost got out of hand at the end, but hey, that's fun. Should be noted he CAN give Suarez a yellow for that, although he likely wouldn't because he DID get fouled lol (just not in the head).

Watching MLS right after today's WC is just depressing.

We simply can't let our top NT players languish here. It's basically AAA baseball, composed mostly of has-beens, never-weres, and never-will bes. There's no way a top prospect will reach his potential playing here.
