  1. Looks like Salah has a team around him that will not be able to get him the ball. We will see if things change but so far they don't seem to be able bring the ball up under control and just send long balls up.

    i don't know, man, that's shady as fuck. how they wave him on when the ball is in play like that...i just saw a short clip but it looked like a total fuck up

    The defender should have run down that ball full speed and sent it back to the goalie. That is what usually happens. He took a look to see if he had to do so or not before doing what he should have done. It sucks but live and learn. Secure the ball first and then decide what you do with the ball and not the other way around.

    Senegal took it to Poland I agree, but man, the ref made 3 completely incorrect calls that royally fucked Poland. 

     

    There should have been a red card on the breakaway takedown, a PK on an in-the-box takedown of a Polish player with the ball and space, and then the ref letting #19 back onto the field when it looked like a sub was supposed to be happening at the same time is a total fuckup.

    Commentators on Telemundo discussing that the ref letting #19 back in was bad timing but worse was the defender being distracted since no whistle blew. They are saying players are taught to play through the whistle. Where have I heard that before? They are praising #19 for taking advantage of the mistake by the defender and timing by the ref.

  4. This group sure ended in a total unexpected way. Colombia and Poland the favorites in the group our now playing a game to see who ends up eliminated instead of the expected game of who ends up in first place.

  5. Tomorrow we will be done with 1/3 group play. The way things have gone in game 1's it looks like a ton of things will still be left undecided even after the game 2 round for some of the favorite teams. Mexico which pulled off an upset can beat South Korea and still be in peril.

  6. Let an inferior opponent hang around and they will become confident and blast you. That is what I am seeing. Tunisia is starting to play like they belong.

    Begins here

     

    Yea I am ecstatic but I can't still believe Mexico played so "well" since we missed so many scoring chances. I said after the game I though we would lose badly and then my brother said I thought so too but I was leading the pack of pessimism. So I am glad I was wrong but nothing up until yesterday indicated that we would do what we did in that game.

  8. Well I hosted a watch party for the Mexico game and the result was not expected at all. The anxiety for those of us that lived through Germany (1998) and the Netherlands (2014) beating us 2-1 after we had a lead 1 to 0 late in the second half was sky high. Even with 15 minutes left we could not believe we were going to hold on. The elation was great when we did hold on. Mexico should have scored more but this is a story that has not changed. The missed passed by Chicharrito to Vela had me seeing flash backs to El Matador hitting a wide open opportunity 8 feet from the goal directly to the goalie.

    On to hoping Mexico does not find a way to screwing this victory up.

    See: 1 minute in

    If anyone has any questions regarding the voice-over, please post them. Others speak Spanish much better than I do, but only a few here know the culture better, so that might need to be explained as well.

    The best part is they tell Putin men admiring men is contagious at the end of the video.
