  1. So I think you are right, but looking at an absolute scale and not relative one. Both of those should be red cards. But when you don’t caution things that should be cautioned, the definition for send offs get fucked up.
  2. Lahoz should be taken to task, but he is a known commodity. Anybody that watches La Liga, knows the match will be like a telenovela - and most of the players from both sides have experience with him. The fact that he didn’t control the game from the get go is the problem. Call a tight game at the beginning, throw a card or two when things start to go - players adapt. When you let shit get too far, you end up with what you get today. Messi deserved a yellow for the handball in the first half. But like Napoleon said, he won’t be telling the ref he shits in his mothers milk at 9+ mins into second half stoppage. As a general rule, any ref should hand Otamendi a caution around minute 25 for good measure. Paredes deserved two yellows for his bull shit. At least 4 Dutch subs should have been sent off for going onto the field. None of that happens and this is what you get. That being said, players just want consistency even if it’s shit. The result is the same and the players decided the game. I get pissed off at children acting like shitbags in public, but they aren’t the problem. They act how they are allowed to act. Any resulting karma coming to the Argentines would be deserved, of course. The are Argentines.
  3. He took Barca back several years, chased off Rivaldo, won a German title with Bayern - which even Gregg could do. Even his Champions League run in 2010 was due to a very fortunate draw/upsets. He had the best Dutch team in 20 years in 2014. He did get 3rd by getting bailed out by Mexico pulling a Mexico, a penalty shootout against Costa Rica in the quarters, and the most neurotic/untalented Brazilian squad since 1954.
  4. Meant to add. This is VanGaals third time with the Dutch. He made his living based completely off the mid 80s Ajax academy and an actual (not Belgian) golden generation of players. He has been a fucking shitbag ever since. These aren’t the beautiful teams of VanBasten, Gullit, Kluivert, Overmars and Bergkamp.
  5. The Dutch should have never stopped chaosball. Pussy ass bitches deserved to lose for bunkering.
  6. Damn that may have been the slowest scored penalty ever right there
  7. I realize that this would sacrifice Deuce, but can we just leave the entire Fox broadcasting group in Qatar wearing rainbow shirts with the Star of David on them.
  8. The Netherlands need to keep playing the same way. Argentina never really changed their shape or personnel.
  9. Otamendi kicking around wrecklessly. That’s out of character.
  10. I’m rooting for Argentina, but I think that should be two yellows.
  11. It’s similar to the NCAA baseball tournament when they talk about SEC teams. When UEFA makes up 40% of the qualifying spots, what is the anticipated result given a long enough sample size?
  12. Want Argentina, Brazil, France, Morocco Predict Netherlands, Brazil, France, Portugal
  13. 1. I have had a lot of success with HG Financial even over the past year Link 2. When you have a net worth of zero (or negative if you are carrying student loan debt), then $150k seems like a fuck ton of money. When you are worth $500MM +, I would imagine $200MM would seem like less. Especially when there are other options if you don’t act like a petulant asshole. Then again - my interests are far less expensive than Ronaldo’s.
  14. At the time they were there, were they able to sit on the beach with $500 million in the bank earning 20%? Yeah, the ME is not that bad early in your career with the expat pay bump plus other allowances that will allow you to retire a decade early. That isn’t the scenario Ronaldo is dealing with.
  15. Just plowed through The Bear this week. Had not listened to this album in forever.
