The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

Insane game - couple of shots hitting the posts, wtf; spain had to be frustrated for all their efforts, but that mistake on defense was costly.

Ha ha Espana!!

AWESOME upset by the Swiss! I love to see the underdogs win! :tup:

Dr. Bā€™s power level is over 900ā€¦ THOUSAND.

Looking at the stat differences (missed the game), I canā€™t believe Spain didnā€™t score at least 1 goal. Shitā€¦ if they continue this way, my bracket is fucked.

This is what happens when you donā€™t use your Arsenal players.

No Alex Song, Cameron lost
No Cesq, Spain lose
Eboue plays for Ivory Coast they get away with a point

That was really fun, Spain fought against a team with heart and luck ā€¦ But seriously itā€™s a bit lol. XD

GO

PARAGUAY

Only top tier team that has vaguely lived up to expectations are the krauts.

Damn clogboys better step it up, I stand to win a fair bit of money if they go the whole way.

:rofl: at South Africa. I love how those damn horns nearly died out in the last 10 minutes. :wink:

South Africa got screwed in my opinion.

That was the most massive dive since Ronaldo yesturday.

Yep fucking diver :tdown:

Donā€™t blame the diver: heā€™s about as in the wrong as a dude what uses an infinite combo.

Blame FIFA for refusing to move into the 21st century and take advantage of video replays.

Dr. B diving would produce a black hole.

video replays still make it difficult to determine the force of the blow, look at the NBA

ya they lost 0 - 3, total injustice:looney:

You think so? I disagree, even in the replays it was clear the player was going down prior contact and the collision of the players left boot with the goalieā€™s right was very faint, not enough to ccause someone to do a wushu butterfly twist

Spain always chokes in the WC, what shocker are you guys watching?

LOL, even some Spainard friends of mine said they wanted Spain to lose so they could get a reality check.

doesnā€™t matter how faint the collision is, the goal keeper is tripping him up carelessly(the ball aint between them) and that is a foul - (within the penalty area its obviously a penalty :P)

by denying him an obvious chance to score a goal in the penalty area, a ref is within his rights to issue a red card at that moment - its subjective whether or not a ref is gonna take advantage of that, sometimes the refs do it, sometimes they donā€™t

Thereā€™s overacting when fouled, and then thereā€™s diving. Diving deserves a card, fuck Portugal.

Dr. B thing that specs does

Pretty much my reaction to Vuvuzela complaints.

I mean, seriously, we Americans FINALLY deciding to actually to WATCH a World Cup after decades of complete and utter indifference, then whining about their traditional horns and how they should stop using them because we donā€™t like it is kinda silly. If they started coming to our football games and told us to stop having cheerleaders at our games because theyā€™re just a distraction and add nothing to the games weā€™d tell em to kindly shut something called the FUCK UP.

^_-;

but everyone is bitching about the horns, not just americans

the world cup isnā€™t held in South Africa every time
