OT: World Cup

[SubbaBub]

Some of the players hated him. Mainly the ones that we didn’t need anymore.

He was 100% right.

His anti-MLS opinion was right on. His tactics were not a good fit for the younger guys. As disappointing as GG is/was, no one was sorry to see JK leave.

Other than the players who said they were not pleased with that, yeah you are right.

 

[LIuconn]

Jurgen's teams picked off some big wins in real tournaments

More impressive than Ggg

 

[Kolumbo]

Who are the most likely to pull an upset in the Quarter finals? Maybe England?

Netherlands vs Argentina
Croatia vs Brazil

England vs France
Moracco vs Portugal

Ned most likely then Moracco.
I don't see England being able to hang with France the way they are playing and Brasil is Brasil.

 

[outlaw]

people forget the USMNT beat Morocco 3-0 in June

which directly led to them firing their manager...

and appointing Walid Regragui...

they are welcome

Dutch, then the English. Croatia has the worst odds. Morocco isn't going to turtle and survive to penalties against Portugal.

 

[LIuconn]

@outlaw guys like Zayech hated that coach and did what they needed to do in order to get the change they wanted (like losing 3-0 to the USA), and look at them now

 

[superjohn]

Brazil v Croatia going to extra time. No real scoring chances for Croatia and the Croatian goalie has been awesome.

 

[Waquoit]

That was the beautiful game, right there.

 

[superjohn]

Croatia never quits.

 

[storrsroars]

Croatia never quits.

Very surprised Brazil looked awful getting back to defend that. That was one of those goals you could see developing well before the shot was taken.

If this goes to PKs, I'm liking Livakovic's chances.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Glad this didn’t go to PKs. Didn’t care who won, but PKs suck. These teams deserved a real result. ugh. Didn’t see the goal.

 

[storrsroars]

Croatia does it!

Neymar didn't even get a turn to PK.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Wow. I literally stopped watching after Brazil scored with under 1M left. Croatia actually scored in that time period? I'm astonished. They didn't have a shot on goal before that.

Croatia scored late in the second 15 of extra time.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Croatia scored late in the second 15 of extra time.

Yes, I have watched the replay. I was hungry, making lunch and watching. Made a mistake and forgot that there was another 15 minutes. Brazil scored with like 40 seconds left in the first OT so I figured...game over. Not one of my better moments.

 

[LIuconn]

Croatia is clinical in their passing, trapping and technicals. US should send our u15s there and take them back when they're 20

 

[HuskyHawk]

Dutch just got robbed. A flop, outside the box, and they award a penalty to Argentina. Maybe it wouldn't matter, but that was criminal.

 

[LIuconn]

Lots of flopping today by Arg and Brazil

And dude should have gotten 2 yellows for the foul + firing a ball into the Dutch bench

 

[LIuconn]

Omg. What a play

 

[navery12]

Insane goal. Holy ****

 

[Jay-Bone]

Whoa, tied it in the final 30 seconds.

 

[Jay-Bone]

What a freakin match. Off the post in the 121st minute.

If Argentina doesn't fire the ball at the Dutch bench, the ref doesn't extend stoppage time and the Dutch don't equalize.

Glad I chose to pseudo-work today. What a day.
