**********WORLD CUP IN-GAME***********

[cogenman]

the penalty though. i'm not a soccer guy like some of you guys are but it looked kinda weak to set it up. contact, just dive.

 

[Retburj13]

Davey....oh boy oh boy

 

[VirginiaCavs]

My friend had 0:0 in first game and spain now hes absolutely livid. Typical German blaming me for his losses cause I talked during the free kick lol

 

[carolinablue]

3-3 would be a fitting ending to this one

 

[carolinablue]

Old school wrestling would have fans chanting "five more minutes, five more minutes"

 

[guaranteeed]

Pissed to lose thenspain bet DAVE

But that was thrilling

4 games tomorrow

 

[carolinablue]

Nice way to spend a couple hours on a Friday afternoon, very entertaining, couldn't ask for more than that.

 

[cogenman]

Some of these late goals are wild. Entertaining stuff.

[carolinablue]

For all the experienced guys, what game or games should I be sure not to miss tomorrow?

 

[~Utah]

Debating if I wanna wake up... got a funeral in the afternoon

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Sorry to hear Utah

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Croatian fans are notorious for racism I hope Nigeria beats them

 

[braves]

For all the experienced guys, what game or games should I be sure not to miss tomorrow?

Germany /Mexico

 

[braves]

Nvm that’s Sunday

Argentina/Iceland

 

[Pyppurs]

France/Aussie

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Such an early wake

 

[Pyppurs]

Such an early wake

If it's entertaining - it should keep you awake, and if Aussie is effective parking the bus you go back to sleep.

 

[KJ]

I'm gonna lay in bed and prolly listen. It starts the same time I went to sleep last night...curious only to see if French can find an iota of chemistry

 

[~Utah]

And then a tim Cahill volley directly off the kickoff after they give up a goal

 

[~Utah]

I wish joe public was back

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Listen. Soccer is awful and this WC is meaningless for everyone without USA. That being said. Whoever thinks Ronaldo isn’t the best player of all time is crazy. This guy is twice the player that Messi ever was.

I think I have to agree. Messi peaked very early and was likely the best from 18-26 ish. This was Messi’s prime when I believe he was the best.

Lately in the past 5 years though Ronaldo has surpassed him. He switched from wing to centre. Is getting faster in his thirties.
Is a smarter player with absolute lethal striking.

I think he is the greatest of all time.

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Is the heat contributing to more goals?

The Spain game was humid.

Seemed like the ball was moving fast and the shots were faster with the humidity.

Humid weather? Faster ball? Players tired?

As most know here, I love the World Cup
I also, defer to the CTG Soccer guys....they know their shit.
I've never understood the actual substitution part of the game. Ever.
So for the life of me. Why would your best player sit the bench?(Egypt)

Thanks

He is hurt , shoulder injury from 3 weeks back

 

[twinkie13]

He is hurt , shoulder injury from 3 weeks back

Broadcasters act like he could play.
Is it a club thing, before country?

No one really knows his camp has done a good job keeping it secret

It wasn’t bad enough that he needed surgery my guess is it’s a jammed shoulder

He hurt it with his club team , but I’m sure he is devastated he can’t play he may never get another chance again to play in World Cup

 

[braves]

He is probable for next game , but his manager said he would 100% play against Uruguay and he didn’t so who knows

 

[cogenman]

Two hours before the next game. Hopefully I’m up.

 

[KJ]

Just woke up, not sure I fully make it tho

 

[KJ]

Made it, sux never got team totals

 

[carolinablue]

Whats up people!

 

[~Utah]

we are nuts

 

[KJ]

Hey CB...need early one here. Preferably Griezmann

 

[KJ]

I did sleep a cpl hrs yesterday afternoon then about 4 before this

 

[~Utah]

France getting a lot of balls on net

 

[KJ]

The difference in team speed appears to be glaring

 

[carolinablue]

Hey CB...need early one here. Preferably Griezmann

What plays do you have so I know what I should be rooting for this morning

 

[KJ]

I've got France 1h -.75, Iceland +1.5 and Peru ML and +.25

 

[~Utah]

shocked how full of Aussies this stadium is

then again if the USA would have crawled into this tourn the stadium would have been packed with mates from new jersey and such

 

[pressitup]

Aussie uni’s are ugly

 

[KJ]

I know a couple from here that went...Americans but backing Argies

 

[KJ]

Have a feeling Mbap gonna get one of those shortly

 

[pressitup]

I have over n this game

 

[carolinablue]

I have over n this game

What's the number? I don't play on WC so like to root on the plays of guys who do

 

[~Utah]

mates I didnt make the connection at the time but how about the fact that Ronaldo was fined 20 million dollars by the Spanish government just a couple hours before the game started

A) how intentional was it by Spain that they made this decision yesterday
B) how connected was it that Ronaldo was so pissed he took out his rage on them

 

[KJ]

Oh

 

[carolinablue]

Wow, almost an own goal there

 

[KJ]

That's funny grub, didn't even connect the dots
