Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

England advancing on penalties today and Sweden's dream run continues, next round is:
France/Uruguay on Friday
Brazil/Belgium on Friday
Sweden/England on Saturday
Russia/Croatia on Saturday
Gonna see any of the bottom four in the finals, which I would not have pegged at the beginning of the tournament.

That English goalie Pickford, he looked like he couldn’t stop a beach ball less a PK then pulls off the stop with his hand. It is a crazy cup so far.
I am pulling for Croatia. Half my family is just 100 years removed from living and our name comes from there.

Agreed about Pickford, entire match I was thinking "jeeze there isn't a single English keeper better than this guy??" but he came up when it counted, wonder how different that game would have been with James in the midfield for Colombia considering how much of a game-changer he is, and his ability to score out of nothing. Remember his cracker in the last World Cup?? A thing of beauty. Originally Posted by ArizonaXUGrad

I’m rooting for France since Germany is out and I hate that I’m paying attention to soccer...

What’s the Over/Under on flops by Neymar today? I’ll say 2 and take the Over.

I'll say 4 minutes and 13 seconds on the ground. Originally Posted by bjf123

Glad the ref wasn't taking any of Neymar's crap today and gave him a card for that horrendous dive. France advances, and Belgium up on Brazil by 2 with 30 to go, I hope they pull it out, they've always been considered a dark horse but this is the first year it's coming to fruit.

Definitely not a Neymar supporter and he totally over exaggerated it, but getting a finger in your eye while attempting a header to equalize the match is probably a penalty, no? Also, I loved this ref and I want him on every game for the rest of the World Cup. He's not the hero we deserve, but the hero that we need...

It’s a physical game, sometimes things in slow motion look like fouls and they just aren’t. That finger is not a PK.
