  1. England wins 3-1. I get the home field but why do we think Mexico is that great? Their group stunk. South Africa got through and looked awful against Canada, themselves not all that special. England's group was tougher. I don't think the English players are going to be intimidated going to the Azteca. A lot of these guys have played in plenty of gigantic stadiums and hostile environments before. That's not to say Mexico can't or won't win. But I don't understand just writing off England.
  2. We can breathe a bit now.
  3. Can we? Sure. But it makes it a lot harder.
  4. That's dumb. A yellow for sure but not a red. No intent. Certainly not an obvious error.
  5. LOL, announcers said this is the biggest game in US soccer history. Uh, 2002 R16 against Mexico. 2009 Confederations Cup final against Brazil (maybe even the semi against Spain). Maybe the other few R16 games we've played in the WC, which is a round later than this one.
  6. I’m watching on my phone but I didn’t like that penalty call. Going to have to look at it on a bigger screen later.
  7. Dansby has sure given his season batting line a boost the last 2 weeks. He had a 1.202 OPS the last 12 games and that’s before today.
  8. I think it will depend on how Mexico plays. Croatia played a more open game and England put up 4 on them. Ghana, Panama and Congo played more defensively and England really struggled to score. If Mexico tries to go toe to toe with England, they’re probably going to lose.
  9. Alright Harry, now do that 3 more times against Mexico.
  10. I don’t because it means Mexico likely makes the QF.
  11. Yeah on another day England could easily have 3 today.
  12. Someone tell Ecuador the lightning delay ended 40 minutes ago and that it’s time to start playing.
  13. 10 out of 10 celebration/chant. No notes.
  14. I have my doubts on France-Sweden being good. Maybe I'm wrong and Sweden uglies it up and keeps it close. But I could easily see France rolling them.
  15. Man the emotion on that fly ball. Holy shit he homered off Miller. Oh fuck it's going to be caught Hell yeah we win!
  16. Just one fly ball. Also, Javy 100% gets a better read and scores on that.
  17. Thought for sure Gakpo got hurt on the goal until they mentioned what happened to him and his partner the last couple days.
  18. Not sure how I feel about that disallowed goal. The German player clearly intends (and succeeds) at screening the goalie. But at the same time, is he not allowed to stand where he wants to? He didn't go into the goalie, the goalie went into him and then flopped. And I do hate how goalies are given the benefit of the doubt any time there's the slightest bit of contact and they fall, like the Paraguay GKer did.
