  1. The World Cup Final: France vs Croatia (Kickoff 16H00 BST)

    Idk what the point of having all those ref’s in the room watching different screens help for if they can’t even properly inform the ref on a call such as Griezzman’s dive for the free kick that lead to the 1st goal.
  2. Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan

    This was correct until Mexico’s game against Sweden a few days ago. Hilariously enough, this was the first time Osorio had ever repeated the same line-up in his three years with Mexico and Mex lost badly. Prior to the World cup he was extremely criticized for never repeating line-ups and always...
  3. Day 18: Russia-Spain, Croatia-Denmark

    Just my humble opinion, but I really dislike 30 mins extra time. Usually when a game ends in a tie (Keyword: usually), there’s a reason it was a tie. Ball just endlessly going back and forth, no real danger, borefests. There are hardly signs any of that would change putting 30 mins extra on top...
  4. Day 14: Mexico vs Sweden, South Korea vs Germany, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica

    So, this is exactly what worried me about Mexico’s team. They’ve been playing this extremely high risk/high reward game ever since this manager has been around. We can bust these surprising victories or get completely humiliated from one game to another. It’s very uneasy on the fans...
  5. Day 14: Mexico vs Sweden, South Korea vs Germany, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica

    Pretty insane how Mexico can still get knocked out even though they beat Germany and S Korea. Whatever happens, Mexico please don’t lose!! Tie or a win and we’re good! :D Crazy group
  6. Day 10: Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico and Germany vs Sweden

    Welcome to the group of death, all.. Sweden will have to come out and play vs. Mexico, which favors Mexico because they usually struggle against very defense-oriented teams. Mexico needs this to be a more open game. Expecting a slim Mexico victory for this one. Germany will annihilate Korea...
  7. Day 10: Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico and Germany vs Sweden

    I’m just glad Mexico didn’t have any injuries. Korea was playing really rough, probably should’ve been a lot more cards handed out. Germany vs Sweden should be a good game. I hope sweden doesn’t play super defensive, but, that’s probably gonna happen..
  8. Le Parisien: UEFA considering creating FFP 2.0, which limits net transfer spending to €100m/season

    Not a fan of this.. typically, when you outright ban something it ends up causing unintended consequences or people trying to “get around it”. I couldn’t imagine if there was an association of restaurants and the head of the association tells the restaurant owners “you can only invest x amount...
  9. Is the World Cup still the pinnacle of the game?

    IMO yes. I’ve never seen people get so emotional, so much unity, etc.. for football matches as I see during the world cup. This is at a global scale. The looks you see on the players faces when they’re singing their anthem alongside their fans who traveled thousands of miles to see them play...
  10. Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland

    This usually happens because Mexico always finishes second in the group stages and faces a contender in Round of 16. Last WC, Holland barely squeezed a win against MX in the round of 16 thanks to a very light penalty call in favor of Robben.that was a hell of a game too. If Mexico finishes...
  11. Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland

    Mexico missed a lot of good opportunities too.. couldve been up more.. im so feckin happy
  12. Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland

    Mexico will likely put Jesus “Tecatito” Corona in for Vela in the second half. He’s a VERY good winger who runs at tired legs, much like Lozano. Vela has been underperforming so far
  13. Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland

    Mexico’s weakest link is its defense. Two of the original defenders out injured, so they got two random dudes from the mexican league. I’m going to sh*t my pants
  14. Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland

    As a Mexico fan, i’m really nervous for this match. Our manager is insane (the Bielsa type of insane) who’s typically been high-risk/high-reward and risks/experiments A LOT. Either expecting a sort of upset against the Germans or complete annihilation of the Mexico squad. There won’t be an...
  15. Group F (Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea)

    I'm seriously worried about the Mexico squad this year. We havn't been playing that well and to top it all off the national team just had a (in my view, hilarious) scandal about the team inviting a bunch of prositutes over on their day off. Rumours are they invited about 5 prostitutes for each...
