That was mind bendingly terrible. Telegraphed the location and didn't get it remotely close to the post.

[USSoccer]

Wow. That was also bad.

Over. Messi goes for immortality vs the unstoppable German machine.

[Derwood]

[expletive] that game.

Always let your defender take the fist PK. I mean never.

 

 

Seriously. Why teams let central defenders take PKs in the first 5 I'll never know.

 

Yep. Makes no sense.

 

Should have gone with the same order with Huntelaar taking the first one instead of RvP.

If it's Roberto Carlos or even Beasley a forward converted then maybe I would understand. Well no I still wouldn't understand.

 

If Omar Gonzalez is our first to take a PK in the semi's of 2018 I will probably kill someone.

Are you sure you will have sobered up from the celebrations after the QF victory :wink:

Sounders-Timbers Open Cup game last night was fiery. 1-1 in regulation after a filthy Nagbe goal in like the 85th minute. Red card on Portland and Seattle won 3-1.

 

What I'm saying is that Sunday night's game on ESPN is going to be amazing.

Apparently Inter have joined the Yedlin race.

Suarez to Barcelona for one of the three highest transfer fees ever (depending on where you're looking).

 

Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal for 30M pounds.

Really happy about Sanchez.

LOL referee. How Silva doesn't get a red there is beyond me.

 

I know it's a third place match and it doesn't really mean anything but still, you can't just give out yellows because you don't want to give a red.

Interesting start to the 3rd place game :D

[Guest]

And now he books Robben for diving when two guys were yanking on his jersey. This dude is all over the place so far.

[shnsajax]

Ahead of the German pace. I love it.

[wvcbxl]

This one could get a big score ... again.

[shnsajax]

I wonder how Chelsea and PSG are feeling about the Luiz deal?

 

This is the most classless Brazil team I have ever seen.

[wvcbxl]

This game needs a Brazil goal to become interesting, but hard to see that happening.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Predictions? I've got Germany 2-0.

[Guest]

I'll say 2-1 Germany

 

Go Deutschland!

[shnsajax]

Adu leaves AZ without a contract.

 

Germany 3-1 today.

[dawson1989]

LOL at people thinking because someone is a defender it must mean they can't be amongst the best strikers for 12 yards out on a free kick. Must not have played the game to think that.

[Guest]

The last time Germany lost a World Cup match when they scored a goal was 1994 to Bulgaria, 2-1.

[Guest]

2-1 Germany.

 

Hoping for a great game that doesn't end in PKs.
