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

[Joe Public]

Their manager's reaction was priceless.

 

[~Utah]

too much pressure for Ronaldo

he knows his domestic club legacy is sealed, his international one is not a good one

 

[braves]

these Austrians are so damn German

isn't austria in the country of Germany?

 

[~Utah]

isn't austria in the country of Germany?

that argument has been made before..

 

[KJ]

no they are on the French Riviera as well

 

[guaranteeed]

no mate

58 goals in 127 caps for a portugese team that has never been good around him

his legacy is sealed

 

[~Utah]

wait, no games until 3 PM tomorrow? what is this

 

[KJ]

If you lived out west it would be noon mate

doesn't matter, hes never won anything, that's all people care about and you know this

 

[~Utah]

lol shoot that near post

 

[~Utah]

i feel like some of these teams are intent on scoring the perfect goal, test the keeper ffs

 

[guaranteeed]

same with monday

How could there be too much pressure in the group stage of a Euro?

I don't mean that as a shot at you, AG, I kind of agree with you, but it's laughable.

 

[~Utah]

same with monday

thats stupid and I am not happy

what am I supposed to do at work?

 

[KJ]

work

 

[braves]

punch your boss

I felt exactly this way about Belgium in the first half today. It was extremely frustrating.

It's gonna be rather pathetic if Ronaldo somehow doesnt move out of the group stage where 66.66% of the teams move on

 

[~Utah]

work

well thats bullshit

 

[KJ]

Joe I was only listening with my eyes shut in bed but it didn't sound like Lukaku had to break a sweat to score in that match

 

[braves]

thats ball game, going to tanning bed. see yas in a couple of hours

 

[Joe Public]

If you lived out west it would be noon mate

Right. Finally. This 6AM nonsense is bullshit. I've DVRed the early game the last two days. Then I have to avoid the fucking scoreboard, etc. Fuck that. Let's push these back a bit for the next couple of days.

 

[~Utah]

is that a pitch invader taking a selfie with Ronaldo?

 

[~Utah]

no joke, Austria is the friendliest country ive ever been too

I love noon matches during the week, gives me some great white noise in the background while I'm actually trying to accomplish something. Prefer an earlier sunday match but will just have to endure Fox's debilitating coverage of the US Open to pass time in the AM

 

[guaranteeed]

haha security just standing around it too

im shocked something bad hasnt happened yet

french police no clue what they are doing

Literally right before the end of the first half I said out loud (basically to my TV) that I'd be happy to see Lakaku get the/a goal today. And then like a minute into the second half ... He didn't really break a sweat on it. The first one they got out on the break and somebody (I forget who) made a really good run up the right side and the pass back to Lakaku was great. He had an excellent finish, his shot was from just outside the box, but it wasn't like he had to really do a lot of creating.

Then his second was him mostly burying a ball where they had numbers.

As you'd expect, once Belgium got the first, Ireland had to open it up a bit which killed them.

I wasn't sure but it looked like some random dude lol

 

[KJ]

Everyone on this board could have buried his 2nd one

CR7 woulda posted that shit tho

 

[~Utah]

apparently CR7 has missed 4 of his last 5 penalties for club and country, the one being in the Champions League

Ouch.

 

[KJ]

Well the one that wins CL kinda means something

 

[Joe Public]

It was a pitch invader.

Kudos to Ronaldo for taking the pic. Nice work by security.

 

[Joe Public]

Who wants to talk me off Mexico tonight?

 

[KJ]

Certainly not me

 

[Joe Public]

I mean FFS they're -125 to advance and it's essentially a home game.

 

[~Utah]

Who wants to talk me off Mexico tonight?

I do

I think Mexico is EXTREMELY overrated and have a very leaky backline that could be raped and penetrated like a truck stop hooker

 

[Joe Public]

Good grief—FOUR third place teams will move onto the knockout stage?

This may really open up some opportunity in the next stage.

thats why it would be rather damaging for Ronaldo if Portugal can't move on

Makes it a tough read for me tbh

Interesting.

 

[Joe Public]

Really? There are definitely going to be a couple of teams that have no business sneaking through. My biggest worry is I won't have seen every team. For example, Romania/Albania tomorrow? I don't know shit about those teams. Pretty sure I can't name a player on either side. But shit, if Romania wins they could get through.

 

[braves]

The Mexico coach has tinkered his lineup all three games, they hgave up numerous breakaways to Jamaica and Venezuela, I think it will be a great game , but they do that tonight against Dirty Sanchez he will punish them

 

[~Utah]

Interesting.

They have a 37 year old starting as a center back

 

[~Utah]

Mexico has played a Uruguay team with Cavani leading the charge, the most overrated player in the world

Venezuela and Jamaica, I am very much unimpressed by this team. That's the easiest group in Copa by far IMO

#Ageism

=)

 

[braves]

They have the second most talent in the tourney imo , there coach is getting killed in press for all his lineup changes..

 

[Joe Public]

If we can get a total of two on that Portugal/Hungary game I may be on the over.

 

[~Utah]

you are off your todd, and I'm being serious. They have 3 players in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Chica is obviously one, and the other 2 don't really play. I grant you Herrera and Layun are both rumored to be on their way to one of the big leagues this summer. But second most talented? Not even close. You are living too close to to the border

 

[Joe Public]

you are off your todd, and I'm being serious.

They just broke up, man, go easy.
