United States really blew it by not making the world cup this year. They would've ended up winning with all these scrub teams advancing.

you ain't playin' for me bro.

also yeah I wonder if people are calling it conservatively because they're in Russia... like that referee had a few clear instances where he could have given out something more than just a normal free kick but he didn't.

No they fucking didn't.

They held the ball for ages, but their actual attempts on goal were pathetic. Russia played a perfect strategy. They knew they couldn't properly compete with Spain, so their best bet was to keep numbers back and stymie Spain's offense. Spain played right into their hands like fools by playing footsie the entire game with hardly any proper attacking. Once you get to PKs it's anybody's game, which is where Russia knew they had their best chance, and then they capitalized on it whereas Spain choked hard.

Kudos to the Russian team. They did good. Probably won't stand much chance next game against a team that's actually going to attack them, but it's impressive to even get this far in the first place.

Best World Cup in history so far, IMHO. A lot of great goals, few surprises, debuting players shining (Mbapp, Kane, Torreira, Coutinho) and overall an amazing tournament.

I'm hoping Brazil and France get eliminated, that way we are guaranteed to see a champion that hasn't won before or at least did so a very long time ago (England in '66, Uruguay in '50).

The bottom half of the bracket looks awful now, EURO 16 all over again.

Also we're seeing a lot of upsets because the quality of international football has been declining since 06 for whatever reason.

You know what, Mexico will definitely have to stay focused to not get destroyed, but if they score first, the pressure on Brazil will be astronomical and to be honest, Mexico held out amazingly against Germany, they have the ability to hold out the result and try to hurt Brazil with fast counters.

That, plus the fact that everytime Marcelo transitions to attack ends up leaving huge spaces, could make for a good chance for Mexico to even go 2-0. Let's face it, Brazil hasn't been amazing either, though Coutinho is on a league of his own.

And I'm saying this as someone who HATES Mexico winning with all my heart. Not because of the country or the players or anything like that, but because FOX Sports Latam and ESPN Latam get way too obnoxious on their programming whenever El Tri wins.

They can't fucking stop talking about it.

I wish Colombia or Uruguay won, but I would be okay with Belgium or England. Don't want France or Brazil for the reasons I mentioned before, I want a fresh champion.

I doubt it.

On a few different channels, a chick flashed her tits, and they just switch the camera.

why not root for Croatia then? Uruguay and England have already won it and Belgium is a non country. Also Colombia plays dirty.


Eh, that would be fine too, since I love Rakitic and Modric.

Nordic invasion in Russia just sounds so fun?

They are playing kind of dirty though and half the time I can't tell if their passes are just garbage or if they're doing some tricky stuff.
