Man. Sucks to see Messi in tears

Again, why in the world would you not call the offside the moment you see it? Crap like this is way more detrimental to the game than any "game continuity", which isn't anyway, when you do crap like not calling offsides the moment you see it.

Man. Sucks to see Messi in tears

True, but is rather enjoyable to watch Argentinians in tears

Ian is poetry in the booth
Landon is the side of a cereal box

Yall, this Guardian article is hilarious. They eviscerate Fox hosts. Lol

In a scary world, the calamity of Fox Sports’ soccer coverage offers a strange calm | Soccer | The Guardian

It’s a month-long feast of international football in the US, and Fox is still at the buffet, dribbling into the cheese platter

amp.theguardian.com

And then, of course, there’s Donovan – Fox’s star man in the gantry, a lawn mower made flesh and blood. After Nico Williams missed an easy header in front of goal early in Spain’s group match against Italy, Donovan flatly intoned, “What a chance this is for Nico Williams, he’s going to have nightmares about this Ian” – and you could tell that the nightmare had already begun with Donovan’s delivery, the syllables unvarying in pitch and volume, the drama of on-field events communicated with all the emotional intensity of a dot matrix printer. But Donovan has range, and this is what makes him so magnetic as a media performer. At one point during Serbia v England Ian Darke asked him a question and Donovan simply … didn’t respond. The great commentators have the gift of letting the action speak for itself; Donovan has the gift of just not speaking. It’s a rare talent that can take all the excitement of international football and drain it of any semblance of life, but this is the unique gift that keeps the Fox suits coming back to the Donovanian well, year after year. The Covid pandemic will be nothing next to the mass extinction event likely once this man is set loose on a World Cup on home soil.

It’s fine to let all of this contact go but he has to keep letting it go

 

[superchuck500]

That was great run of play there

The zero hole? The one hole? What do you call that? Right where his face was

 

[SystemShock]

What a shame. But Colombia had done nothing since the 60th minute of regulation.

I hate Argentina, but much respect for Di Maria. If this i truly his last game with the NT, what a way to go out. Great performance.

What a shame. But Colombia had done nothing since the 60th minute of regulation.

Turnover, pause, pass, pass, goal. Just that fast.

Colombia were so out of shape defensively after all the subs to win in regulation.

Vargas slide was weird too. Not sure what he was anticipating, but he went feet first. Odd.

THANK. YOU.
