I understand that but it stunk to watch. It is the main reason why people have a bias against soccer. It is like faking injuries in football.

I think the announcer explained it well. Tons of pressure on him, emotionally drained etc.

I'm certainly not advocating for it. It was pathetic. But I get why they did it. If you're(not you personally)going to follow soccer, it comes with the territory especially in talent wise lopsided international matches, like this one.

Well said. It is a necessary evil.

Quick question, are you a Hawaii grad or fan? If so, we should have a fun signature bet on the Army-Hawaii game.

Born and raised on Oahu and my dad is a grad, so I'm a huge fan. However, in this case huge and dumb don't correlate. You'd have to give me points. This team is going to be brutal and God awful on the road.

I am good for that. Like I said, it is a friendly bet. The signature wouldn't be anything vulgar.

Haha. Don't worry, it will get better soon. I generally pull for Hawaii when they are not playing Army. You guys are fun to watch. Great traditions and bowl game.

**** that "necessary evil" bs. I'm a soccer fan, and think the flopping is beyond ridiculous, and hurts the game. If a match is lopsided, then take your lumps and get better - don't try to game the refs. It's bush league.

Ideally, sure. But in a WC situation where you have to at least draw to survive another day, you're gonna do whatever you think you need to in order to survive

Nigeria has been very impressive today. Iceland needs to figure out how to add some offense to their system. Good run to the WC and they're not eliminated yet but they don't quite look ready to take the next, next step.

Only because there aren't repercussions, and it's somehow accepted by soccer fans. You don't see it in other sports to anywhere near the same degree. Players should be embarrassed trying to pull this shit off.

Musa taking over late. Great strike off the crossbar, then weaves through the Icelandic defense for an easy one.

Missing a PK will never not boggle my mind. It's like missing a free throw if the basket was the size of a car hood.

Maybe, . . . fast twitch reflexes for a goalie.

So much of the rest of it can be game planned and platooned.

Soccer is so much more about skill, endurance and team synergy than imposing your will physically.
Musa demonstrated one of the few pure physical advantages one can possess in soccer. If you can dribble with that much control and speed, it opens things up like nothing else in the entire game.

It's one thing if the keeper makes a save or you bad luck off a post or something. But to miss the entire cage is simply a choke. No two ways about it.

Goalkeeper went the wrong direction, he could have rolled that ball in.

That Serbian defender did his best Neo imitation on that strike on goal.

That ball blazed RIGHT THROUGH where his chest and torso were just a moment prior.

Great catch, studio highlights the spin on the ball just prior to Swiss first goal.

Amazing composure.

jd1020 06-23-2018 04:22 PM
Had to record the match and muted my phone.

Dear god, I was about to lose my shit. The amount of chances Germany actually creates with all their possession is pathetic and they continue to take short corners to kick it around a bit to ultimately cross the ball for nothing. Just take the ****ing corner.

Get your head out of your asses. Lucky that penalty wasnt given.

What an effective use of the short corner.

Menace them all around the perimeter, then lob right onto the head of your tallest teammate.

Poor Poland. They've been making all sorts of quality chances, and just haven't finished on anything. And their hawt fans in the stands look so sad.

Can't. Wait. They still have a lot of holes, especially against the long ball on counters, but they are a force that will be tough to stop if they can finally capitalize on all the opportunities they are generating.

I was watching this game at my dad's house and he had several friends from Colombia over. It was definitely a fun time. I had more fun watching their reactions than I did the game.

At least they made it out of that match with all ears intact, so there's that.

Always a positive to be found.

Yeah, the defender was just blindly wobbling around to impede Renaldo, and he got a LIIIIIITTTTLE jabby trying to work around him.

Yellow appropriate, no way Red.
