  1. Freese played that like he was the Spurs goalie. It’s fine that he came out but once you win the ball you just boot it away.
  2. Might not be the worst thing if we just lost this match rather than having to watch Spain really kick our ass. Belgium looks like they can generate chances whenever they want to.
  3. Be stronger, Ream. You got owned there.
  4. Lol. Solid defense guys.
  5. 1.36 xG for Belgium already. At this rate Freese is going to break Howard’s record for saves in a WC game.
  6. It’s almost as if we’re playing a team that’s much better than any of the other four teams we’ve played so far.
  7. They look much better so far. We’re lucky to not be losing.
  8. The only problem with that response is Jose pretty much always spoke. He’d say he wasn’t going to comment on <insert incident here> but then he just couldn’t help himself and would say something about it anyway. He’s Michael Scott trying not to say “that’s what she said”.
  9. Maybe I haven’t seen the right angle yet, but the penalty against Kane was way more egregious. I watched a slow motion replay and it was not clear at all whether or not Kane touched the ball. And if it’s not clear, then an obvious error hasn’t been made so the call shouldn’t be overturned.
  10. Which we wouldn’t because Spain will beat us in the QF first if they beat Portugal.
  11. So either we're rid of CB or Nightengale is wrong again. Seems like a win-win to me.
  12. Morocco-France and Norway-England should both be fun QFs. Please give us Argentina-Colombia too. Spain would be a clear favorite over either Belgium or the US, but if Portugal wins, that's a pretty even matchup also against whoever wins our game.
  13. I'd like to throw Colombia-Portugal in the mix. These two knockout games were better, but that one is up there.
  14. That's soft too. I mean I get it. But Kane basically contacts he ball and the player at the same time and has no idea the player is there either.
  15. It's pretty wild that Kane could end up breaking the old record for most career World Cup goals and not come anywhere near the top-2 whenever Messi and Mbappe are done.
  16. I'll take the under 0.5 shots on goal for England the rest of the game. EDIT: Wasn't counting on a PK. Come on, Harry!
  17. Don't like that call either. I get why it's a red. But there's also not strong contact against the leg and the leg bounced off the ball first.
  18. There going to send him off.
  19. Mexico getting some good chances now.
  20. Probably smart. Altitude, of course. But you also know Mexico is going to come out with a ton of energy so you don’t want to give up an early goal to really let the crowd get involved.
  21. Boy that sure changed quickly.
  22. You're all good. I do think and did say the Balogun one was questionable regardless of the Ronaldo incident. But you're entitled to your opinion as well. So I was kind of doing two things at once with my post. The Ronaldo suspended sentence was just flat out wrong. Don't want to miss World Cup games? Don't throw elbows.
  23. You're certainly in the minority with this opinion. And regardless of what you think of Balogun's card, Ronaldo's was more clear cut, which is why he received a 3 game suspension vs only a 1 game for Balogun.
  24. Another difference is Ronaldo 100% deserved the red and the suspension while this one was a questionable call.
