HoonDing Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Guess Spain will win it then. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

HoonDing Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Typical England, missing so many chances. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
algroth Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 This match is an utter clownfiesta. Utterly shambolic, all in the most entertaining fashion. My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden
Malcador Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Seems like classic England Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Katphood Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 The first half was nice but the second half is boring me to tears. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Gorgon Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah, the England curse is still going strong. It always looks good on paper with a strong base quality in their squad who all play in one of the toughest leagues anywhere, and yet they never seem to get anywhere. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
HoonDing Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Their away shirts are terrible all red, why? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Katphood Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Question: Why does every goddamn team have a player that tries to look like Messi?! There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Keyrock Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Imagine how great Belgium would be if only somone could trick them into thinking the first half is the second half... And the second half is also the second half. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Gorth Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 So... England won and Germany lost their first game. Guard Dog, do you have room for a guest for a while at your place???

Guard Dog Posted June 19, 2018 Author Posted June 19, 2018 My informal polling here in the US reveals Americans I have access to fall into one of four categories. The largest know the WC is going on and don't care. The second largest don't know what I'm talking about. The third group is rooting for Iceland because, well, why not. We like underdogs here. And last is pulling for Mexico because most folks here have nothing against Mexico or Mexicans. In if Mexico actually wins this thing there will be one hell of a party and who wouldn't want that? 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Funnily enough Landon Donovan is in some drama as he's in some ad to back Mexico and many Americans feel he's not taking the Rivalry seriously.

Guard Dog Posted June 19, 2018 Author Posted June 19, 2018 In the international tournaments I tend to pull for Mexico or Canada when the US is out of it. When you know a lot of people in both places it comes easily. A few years back I got to go to the Rugby Sevens WC in Vegas and actually got to hang out with some of the Canadian players (friends of a friend). And I worked in Mexico off an on for almost a year a while back. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Malcador Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Colombia with a sneaky free kick there. Well also some dodgy refereeing there.

Keyrock Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Carlos Sanchez getting red carded 3 minutes into the match definitely did Colombia no favors. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

rjshae Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Carlos Sanchez getting red carded 3 minutes into the match definitely did Colombia no favors. Football is the only sport I know that essentially self-destructs a game based on a single act by one player. Isn't it time that FIFA changed that? At least in American Football you're allowed to sub in a replacement when a player gets banned. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
