A lot of Spaniards did the 'eye thing' at the Beijing Olympics, including Rafa Nadal. It blew over after a few days. I think it was mostly Chinese in North America and white liberals who got upset about it. Senegal go out because of two more yellow cards than Japan. The law and order mentality...

Not only that, they'll finish in last place unless they score in added time.

Germany out!!!

Hummels with the only German chance I've seen since switching to their match. It was on a platter for him. Horrible miss.

Sweden have a big height advantage too giving them the edge in crosses both defensively and offensively.

The Koreans with another chance but failed to pull the trigger. They just can't seemed to finish.

Sweden 2 Beaners 0. Looking good for the ethnically Swedish Sweden team.:beer-toast1:

Every time I put the Germany-Korea match on it looks like the Koreans are on the attack.

Disagree. He was trying to avoid the handball and there was no danger. Forsberg is having a terrible World Cup. He can't hit any ball cleanly or near the target. (Of course, now that I've said that he'll end up the scoring the next goal:rolleyes:)

Trailing 2-0 and needing a win the Socceroos bring on 38-year-old Tim Cahill. This is what desperation looks like.

The French are already through but they only need to avoid a loss to Denmark to finish #1 in their group. With that in mind they are resting Pogba, Matuidi and the much-hyped Mbappe. But now they are starting a black man in goal - Mandanda of Olympique Marseille. (My first thought when I...

Ultimately, I think you have to put that on the goalkeeper. Russia looked poor with their defence looking lethargic. If I'm Russia I'm hoping to play Portugal, not Spain. Ronaldo can't keep carrying that team with their luck bound to run out some time. Portugal can still be eliminated today...

To be fair there is only so much Lewandowski can do if he's not getting much service from his teammates. Still, he'll probably be pilloried in the press.

Now 3-0 Colombia. This after losing to Japan. What does that say about Poland?

Wondering what Polish fans think of Lewandowski's play in this World Cup.

Poland, the only white team in Group H, look to be going home finishing last.

First line of the article: Janne Andersson lashed out at the Germany coaching staff after seeing his Sweden team beaten by a sensational 95th-minute Toni Kroos winner, accusing them of gracelessness in victory and “rubbing it into our faces”. Some things never change. Germans are winners, but...

Red Pill Germany on "German Football in the Current Year":

The tiebreaker criteria are slightly different at this World Cup. Head-to-head is now only the third tiebreaker. First is goal difference, second is total goals scored. That means this group is still potentially wide open. Earlier a commentator said Mexico had booked its place in the knockout...

I was hoping to see Sweden advance instead of Germany but it was a very entertaining match; the second best of the tournament after Spain v Portugal. Kroos rescued Germany but it must be remembered he played a role in Sweden's goal.

I misread this the first time. The ball came of the arm of a sliding Korean player.

I didn't see a review either. (I'm watching on a generic world feed outside of the US). On British radio they were really playing up the Belgians after their thrashing of Tunisia. It's true they played well and, as I said earlier, they are a potential dark horse winner of the...

That second Swiss goal had been coming for some time. As Riggins44 said, the Serbs looked listless. That one of the teams least representative of their country is doing well is bad in that it helps the multiculti narrative. To make things worse for Serbia the manager of Switzerland is a...

Neymar acted like a petulant child throughout the match. Apparently he even confronted the referee or some other FIFA officials outside the dressing room at half-time. Very low class individual.

With Croatia likely to win their group they would play 2nd place from Group c - probably Denmark, possibly Australia. Then it would likely be either Spain/Portugal or Uruguay/Russia in the QFs. The winner of Serbia's Group E will be on the the other side of the draw so they couldn't meet until...
