June 17, 20187 yr name any other sport/teams where this would be okay: yankees fan saying red sox are his second team because yankees didn't mke the postseason; texas fans rooting for baker mayfield and ou to win the title because we didn't make the playoff; arsenal fans rooting for tottenham to win the champions league because we didn't make it; the fuck? hell no. helllllllll no. way too easy. I will give you 3 letters and then drop the mic. S.E.C. /dropMy first fucking thought...Aggy can’t ever wait to root for Bama or SEC once they hit the October portion of their roller coaster.Hell they even sold shirts for the Longhorns “just this one time”

June 17, 20187 yr I respect Landon for what he's done in the past but this is just straight bullshit and this tweet when Carlos Bocanegra called him out on it was even worse. He's always seemed like a guy who's not very smart, media wise.

June 17, 20187 yr As far as Donovan - this is a guy that's been the target of the piss and blood balloons. If he wants to root for Mexico, fine with me. He's been out there and played the games. As a fan - that isn't for me. But I'm a fan. I have zero impact on the games, just like Mexico fans do. We just get to talk shit when our teams win like we really did something and get pissed when we lose. And fuck if I am going to root for a team that has fans like JNip.

June 17, 20187 yr Weird, it’s almost like I said that Germany struggles to score against decent teams.

Hmmm

I’ll say it again, they don’t have the strikers to fit their style of play. They have a bunch of target men and a pace merchant. If they want to play this possession style then they need to move Müller up top and start Reus. They can still beat up on small countries but they struggle to score against the best teams. Also why did they leave Sane off the squad. It’s nuts.

June 17, 20187 yr Mexico vs Germany was fun.Good football, great saves.This generation of Mexican players has won in big stages before, this wasn’t a fluke win. Germany had excellent opportunities as well but great saves by Ochoa and decent enough MEX defense to hold Germany back. Mexico had a few other clear counter attacks that they wasted, game could’ve been 3-1 Mexico. Youth World Cup wins and Olympic gold. They’re used to winning when it matters. Only huge nick these players have is the disaster of tournament they had in Copa America and getting crushed by Chile 7-0. Other than that...they’re used to winning.Mexico the new World Cup dark horse?

Löw’s lineup and tactics played right into Mexico’s strength.
June 17, 20187 yr Referee of the Mexico/Germany game should be in the lead to ref the final. Dude was in total control. Didn’t put up with any diving. Let the guys play. What a nice treat. Edited June 17, 20187 yr by Jive Turkey

June 17, 20187 yr https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/17/sweden-janne-andersson-sprying-row-south-korea The Swedes infiltrated the South Korean training to watch them train. Quote South Korea ... responded by swapping players’ numbers to confuse the Swedish snooper because – in the words of their manager, Shin Tae-yong – “it’s very difficult for westerners to distinguish between Asians”. "We switched them around because we didn’t want to show everything and to try to confuse them,” he said. “They might know a few of our players but it is very difficult for westerners to distinguish between Asians and that’s why we did it."

Thought he was bad I agree that the Iranian ref was great. But I didn't mind the Brazil/Switzerland ref that much. I think that he missed a few things, but he also didn't put up with flopping. Normally, if a Brazil goes to the ground, he gets the call. Not-so-much in the Brazil/Switzerland match which I greatly appreciated. Edited June 18, 20187 yr by Napoleon
June 18, 20187 yr Brazil/Suisse ref did fine. In fact, I think almost all of the games I’ve watched this tournament have been really well officiated. Which is a big change from the week to week shit show I saw in the EPL this year.
