June 19, 20187 yr Putin is going to be angrier than a Red McCombs for not being allowed to weigh in on that replay.
June 19, 20187 yr I think by the end of the tournament we will all be tired of the rules expert brought in for each VAR use to tell us exactly what we can see for ourselves. This isn't like the NFL last season and it's corkscrew rationalization for what is/isn't a catch.
June 19, 20187 yr salah for 2+ goals was +1000 this morning and i took it. would be nice if he could pop another one here.

June 19, 20187 yr had to switch to cable so I could watch the Horns baseball game. OTA signal is so much fucking better. oh yeah and the 12 second delay kinda sucks
June 19, 20187 yr I was away from a TV for the 2nd half and then get back to the 0-0 match to fines 3-1 match in the 82’. What happened?!?! I’m rewinding to find out.

June 19, 20187 yr My take away from Group A is this: what a bullshit group. Russia, Uruguay, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

I had a friend asking me for any tips I might have for betting on the World Cup, because I follow soccer a bit more than he does, especially outside of Europe. (And I think that I've watched more games so far and the friendlies beforehand.) I don't bet because I can't afford to lose and I know that I'm most likely to lose. Here's our exchange. There is no way to really know how to bet. I was sure that once Salah was back, they'd beat Russia handily. NOPE!
June 19, 20187 yr This new Russian team is not like the old Russian teams. They play a disciplined game and have no mercy.

I think that he understands that a foul called OUTSIDE the box that gets overturned via VAR to award a PK against the host country diverts any attention that critics might have about the fix being in. And it also becomes the topic of conversation rather than how a bunch of 30-somethings (some who dye their hair brown to look younger) are running around like 18 year-olds who have been training in La Paz for the last 12 months. The VAR ruling helps wash some of the stain off of this tournament.

I expected them to park the bus for 90+ minutes, but they continued to press for more goals. As much as I wanted them to go 0-3 in matches without scoring a goal, they have been very entertaining to watch. I'm not going to pull for them in the knockout stages mind you, but I am certain that I will be entertained whenever they are onscreen.
June 19, 20187 yr 3 hours ago, ScottishHorn said: I'm pretty sure the fix is in and russia wins. Saudi looked like a Wisconsin club team. Egypt is just dicking around. I'm not saying I was right...I'm just saying I'm not wrong. Although this group was a joke
