****Soccer is the Greatest Sport on Earth In-Game****

[guaranteeed]

wait, so Pepe was born in Brazil, could he play for Brazil? Why didn't he choose them

they never called him up in youth and by the time they wanted he had told portugal he would play for them since he had lived in country for 4 years and only had to wait 1 more I think

that makes sense, got to get to them early

Martin Tyler the best, the goal Donovan scored six years ago propelled Darke to prominence in the US but he very professional. JP Dellacamera been around forever and generally is very professional. Derek Rae also professional, too bad the Mouse was too cheap to send these guys to France. It's not even the size of Texas, send the people there and have them travel, jesus.

Well Darke, Macca, Twellman, Robson and Champion are in France and the rest in Bristol. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

 

[braves]

ESPN spent too much on College and NFL and NBA, got to cut cost somewhere

 

[~Utah]

Couldn't wait to watch the Dortmund match a day after it happened on Fox this season, oh and NASCAR and repeats of UFC from 3 months ago

They try too hard, looking for a homerun but this sport isn't one of them

yeah they've been terrible

It's clear Americans don't understand how to call the game, bring in a Brit to do play by play. ESPN and NBC have done great at this

 

[KJ]

Julie Foudy, very good...usually not a fan of the other species but she's pretty solid

 

[~Utah]

I hope Portugal wins for the sake of my money

the most epic thing would be PK's and Ronaldo misses the PK to lose

just saying

 

[guaranteeed]

skip and simmons and cowherd

 

[KJ]

Losing Simmons and Skip has to be a boon for them

I actually watch Cowherd in the am when nothing else is on, entertainment knows no bounds

 

[braves]

was that nani with that awful giveaway

 

[braves]

skip and simmons and cowherd

Tirico, sounds like Brad Nessler as well

 

[KJ]

Tirico is good imo, very good at what he does

 

[KJ]

Simmons could be a poster on here. So could Skip. Haven't seen their shit in ages, just blowhard bullshit like all of us

 

[braves]

leg stomp, no card

 

[KJ]

This first half has blown, too much expectation I guess but this has been awful

 

[CollegeKingRex]

I don't like Robson or Champion even though they seem professional and the girl announcer was hyped to be pretty good but she literally has zero emotion. The Iceland goal the other day was the biggest thing that perhaps had ever happened in that country (listen to the Iceland announcer's call of it if you don't believe me) yet she hardly even raised her voice.

 

[~Utah]

I like Robson a lot

makes me feel at ease about the whole thing when its all gone to shit

 

[BetCrimes1984]

massive chance and a horrible ball from inside the box

 

[~Utah]

i feel like creativity is severely lacking in this tournament outside of Payet



dont cross the ball, make a move, put it on net, you have 1 guy to beat

 

[CollegeKingRex]

croatian tossers horrible effort so far, playing not to lose instead of to win to this point, no good

 

[guaranteeed]

prety boring half mates

 

[braves]

The best thing about this half, is halftime"

 

[braves]

Ballack sounds like JK, hate listening to him

 

[~Utah]

so you just hate Germans

 

[braves]

so you just hate Germans

If all Germans sound like JK when they speak English,then yes

 

[guaranteeed]

not all braves

look at andre schurrle speak

 

[braves]

alright lets get 4 goals this half

 

[BetCrimes1984]

the paint was freshly applied in the 1st h, now we really get to watch it set.

 

[guaranteeed]

mandzukic not doing it mates

 

[braves]

nice job ESPN, totally missed the corner

 

[braves]

he should have put that away

 

[~Utah]

this is the worst day of soccer of my life

its why these tournaments once you get past the flares kind of blows

 

[braves]

almost a sog

 

[Dollaz]

Croatia would be able to have some creativity if they weren't tackled every time they get on the ball while the ref swallows the whistle.

 

[cogenman]

Would it be a bad idea to just blindly take under 2 for the next couple day's games?

 

[guaranteeed]

how many flares you set off in 2018 alex

o/u 9.5

 

[braves]

da fuck was that...portugal has no creativity in the middle

 

[~Utah]

Would it be a bad idea to just blindly take under 2 for the next couple day's games?

possibly

everyone sits back defensively because they don't want to lose, but if 1 goal is scored, the flood gates would open

 

[~Utah]

for example the Hungry - Portugal game last week

 

[~Utah]

hopefully one every night

 

[CollegeKingRex]

whew that was too close for comfort

 

[CollegeKingRex]

spot on mate, why i left each of the first 2 UNDERS alone even though i could never see 3 goals being scored in each game

 

[dudleysdad]

When u play not to lose.. U usually lose

 

[Dollaz]

When u play not to lose.. U usually lose

Except when both teams do it. Then you get nil nil penalty kicks.

 

[~Utah]

theere will be a goal in this game

 

[braves]

yeah, someone will score during penalty kicks

 

[CollegeKingRex]

this is agonizing, needing the Croats outright. Come on you twunts get more aggressive

 

[BetCrimes1984]

there'll be at least 8 or 9

 

[~Utah]

looks like a goal kick to me

 

[dudleysdad]

Except when both teams do it. Then you get nil nil penalty kicks.

Fuck wanting to go to penalty kicks
