  1. Their boogeyman went out in the first round. They lost their last game to get on the easy side of the bracket. They got to play Colombia without James and a wretched Sweden in the quarters. Their opponent in the semis had to play to penalties twice. They were up early and running rampant. Their captain and Lingard had easy chances to put it away in the first half. Every card fell their way until 68 minutes into the semi, including the Colombian penalty that hit the upright. They pretty much deserve every bit of criticism coming their way.
  2. They looked really good during the first ~ 35 minutes or so too.
  3. Now I can go back to liking the Brits again. No shit. Assuming a high pressure game and not a Sunday friendly If you were the opposing team and had an Englishman running one on one vs your keeper, who would you be most scared of? A. Kane B. Sterling C. Lingard D. Inanimate Carbon Rod
  4. The Croats gave up a lead late last time. Though their competition wasn't England.
  5. Mandzukic is the very definition of a rambling wreck. That isn't some sort of character twist in the past couple of games.
  6. At her age, I would have to say - well done mom.
  7. I don't think I have ever seen Modric this tired.
  8. It's a part of the game if you are trying to protect your defenders, but there was no need for it there as the ball was near the half way line. Its just stupid.
  9. I can't believe Croatia hasn't set anyone on. I still don't know where the English goal will come from, but in about 10 minutes the Croatia high from the goal is going to crash.
  10. All of the sudden, the English shoes are made of cement.
  11. For which team? Shit guess, I was late with that one.
  12. Pekerman is having nightmares of 2006.
  13. Three good ones so far make it four
  14. I feel like his assist to Suarez in WC 2014 would be more apropos here.
  15. Card should stand. Kick outside. This isn't the fucking NBA.
  16. I don't disagree. Just commenting that it used to be worse.
  17. Fifa doesn't want someone to miss the final unless they get a yellow in two consecutive games, hence the reset after the Rof16. I think it was before 90 they didn't reset at all. They used to reset after the group stage, but I thought they changed it since Ballack missed the 2002 final.
  18. Fair enough, but when you start throwing all of South/Central America in one bag it starts to sound like bull shit. Especially when I can cherry pick players from all the other countries including Western Europe, where players embellish and flop and have for a long time. Most of the times I hear things like the initial comment you had, and this is completely anecdotal and in no way meaning to refer back to yourself, the follow up comments are filled with political dog whistles. So I took somewhere it didn't need to go, appologize and will drop it. I think uninspired is a bit harsh. We were completely overrun during the first half of that game. Brazil couldn't buy a goal and we had two awesome counters to go up. The second half we just couldn't keep up with a much better team. Friday is shaping up to be a good day at the bar.
  19. The challenge was bad without any contact and would get a red now (more worthy of a caution back then), but Klinsmann had his arms flailed as Mozon dove in. It was also the first video I found. If you don't know Klinsmanns reputation as a flop, I don't really know how to respond.
  20. Don't forget the Germans as well. Klinsmann was as good an acrobat as there ever was.
  21. This shouldn't go unchallenged. It's almost like you have never watched matches played by countries on the Mediterranean. It's like Christmas every 2 to 4 years.
  22. That was awesome. Sorry about your car, Japan.
