I was rather thinking that Pierluigi Collina cloned himself.
US has settled in a little at least.
Pretty sure Dest was getting fouled on that last play before the ad break, but refs are really letting them play this tournament.
Really? Perhaps like Argentina fans enjoy their last World Cup a bit less as FIFA essentially handed it to Messi. Or the previous one with the obvious handball by Maradona. Yeah, I guess.
Other than ignoring whoever it was kicking the ball into the Dutch bench, what was Argentine favoritism?
The U.S. so far has looked like a directional college that accepted an offer to play Alabama. They need to get SOMETHING going offensively.
Well I’m a bit odd. And also a bit of a dbag.
OK, if we keep playing like shit my narrative is that Trump fucked everything up by creating a distraction to make it all about him.
The venerable saint himself! Not even close.
We don’t think the 2022 WC was handed to us, we almost died in several matches.
And Maradona’s hand of God was a work of art that transcends football.
We are a bit ashamed of the 1978 WC, even if nothing as blatant as Trump’s intervention happened (YMMV regarding the supposedly arranged game against Peru)
At least this ref doesn’t look like he’s wearing shoulder pads.
Pretty soft foul, IMO.
I don’t follow football normally, but I’ve been paying attention to this WC, so forgive this naive question: I don’t think I’ve seen a single Doper say anything good about Ronaldo, yet I gather he is a huge “star.” Why does everyone loathe him so much?
He’s extraordinarily full of himself.
Also maybe a rapist.
He’s the Tom Cruise of football/soccer. Extremely good at what he does, but also quite a dbag.
Tillman becoming the set piece leader for the US this World Cup.
Tied at 1.
ETA: Courtois got wrong-footed by a deflection off a Belgian head.
1-1 now. Tillman.
TILLMAN SCORES
fuck you board, learn what a complete sentence is, jesus
Nice to see a Bayern youth player do well.
Deflected by a defender, which is why the goalie was so out of position.
Instant reposte
