Norway-Senegal a very good game, two good teams going at it, Norway making Senegal pay for their mistakes.

Senegal on the brink, after facing the two heavyweights in the group of death, they need at the very least a narrow loss to hope getting through, assuming they beat Iraq.

But, someone said Group D was the most difficult.

Nobody said that.

Oh really?
What did "someone" say about that?

When you need to lie and then backtrack that says everything about you.

1994 was better when a schmo like me could get a ticket for $50

Pro-regime change Iranian expats harassing and attacking Iranian fans.








Regime change supporters rooting against Iran:



I don't think they should be harassing fans in the street but I've got no problem with cheering against the Iranian regime.


These pro-Pahlavi fans in the bottom link were actually cheering against the Iran team...

And? They can cheer against a sports team if they like, so what?


I don't even know what pro Pahlavi means!

I said it in this thread before he did.

But that was before England played a snooze fest tie which required the ref insanely swallowing his whistle on one would be PK and one red card on Pickford DoGSO. Ghana got screwed in n those non calls.

I could go back and find it but proving you are ridiculous and only here for argumentation is not worth my time.

These group games are like Week 1 of the college football season over and over every day. First slate of games you are just excited to see football again. By late afternoon you are bored of all the 60-3 scores. Soccer has the occasional 0-0 gentleman's game mentioned above.

You can look it up.

Congo being tested, great 1st qrtr by Colombia, the one team that was missing from my earlier list of dark horses. GK Lionnel Mpasi Nzau, dual French citizen, born in Meaux, the capital of Brie and region with the best cheese in the world and one of the most underrated gothic cathedrals in France, plays in Ligue 1 with Le Havre, has had a very solid performance so far. His team has got to help him out a bit.

That's right, Ghana got screwed out of a PK.

Messi and MBappe were both amazing yesterday, especially Messi, except for his missed penalty.

It's still hard to believe they played on the same team and never won Champions League.

Not to mention Neymar.

Their side did not fit together. In modern soccer teams have at most one non-running defenders at any position, but better to have none. Strikers like Lewandoski and Havertz have won trophies because they play both ways.

Not to me. In 1994 a not great Brazil team beat a not great Italy team to win the tournament. I played soccer during the finals instead of watching it, although I did see the penalties after my game was over. It was definitely fun and surprising to see the US team make the second round, but that team would lose to the current team by like 10 goals.

I watched the US-Colombia match in my apartment in Seattle (!) with a friend. When the US won she said she felt like dancing in the streets. We looked out the window and there was not just no dancing but there was no one on the street at all in sleepy Wallingford. In this Would Cup in Seattle Marshawn Lynch led a parade of thousands to the gates and hundreds of thousands of people were everywhere downtown. (Although the comparison is imperfect since there were no games in Seattle in 1994.)

I was cool that the games were less expensive and less corporate and the structure with 24 teams was better. Still, once we get to 32 this World Cup should be amazing.

No, you couldn't. Which is why you won't. You're what is called loud AND wrong.

Bummer for you. In 1994 as broke college students, 4 of us (1 of us being Brazilian) paid $50 to see Brazil play. We got there early and partied with Brazilians. I became a lifelong fan that day.

The night before the Brazil vs. USA game we went to a hotel full of Brazilians and partied again. There were Americans out front chanting USA and looking lame while we had a great time inside.

We watched the final match at a house party in Berkeley and when Brazil won we saw the Brazilians partying in the Pasadena streets. Somebody got the idea to drive down and join the party. We rented a car (which took too long) and I drove because for some reason I was sober. We got there around midnight and the police were trying to disperse the still partying Brazilian crowd. My friend got pepper sprayed. Good times, good times.
