July 3, 20187 yr Hopefully that will open up the action with Switzerland needing an equalizer in the next 20+.
July 3, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, The Tower said: another own goal Except the shot was on target, so the deflection still goes to the shooter.
July 3, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Except the shot was on target, so the deflection still goes to the shooter. it is debatable whether the swiss's kick had any impact on the goal but technically, you are correct. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by The Tower

Denmark. spain/russia will not be topped as biggest shitshow; poland/japan was also much worse than this. this game is 2 teams with different strengths canceling each other out, giving the appearance of crap. both are actually playing to win to my eyes, unlike japan, spain, france and denmark in the above examples.
July 3, 20187 yr Yes, both teams are playing positively so that's a plus. I didn't get to see Poland/Japan.
July 3, 20187 yr I'm trying to decide if the whining in this one is worse than whining done by latin players/teams.
July 3, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, Captain Ron said: Fucking awesome save - it spared us the potential of 30 more minutes of this shit. I prefer 30 more minutes of any cup game to no cup game.
July 3, 20187 yr Still confused as to why the Danish player didn't see red in the exact same situation. They just answered it: legitimate attempt on the ball = yellow can be given. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by crackamacgowski
July 3, 20187 yr Card should stand. Kick outside. This isn't the fucking NBA. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by Kringelbert Fishtybuns

July 3, 20187 yr Just now, Jograves said: I think that's outside the box. and he barely fucking touched him. don't even think its a foul.
July 3, 20187 yr Wait am I an idiot? I don't see the penalty. Looked like the Swedish guy just stumbled and fell on his own.
July 3, 20187 yr Just now, Captain Ron said: Yup - not playing the ball. And if that's outside the box, it's a red no question.
July 3, 20187 yr Author Sweden had too much size for Suisse to cope with. The number of blocked shots and failed/contested crosses in the air combined has to be close to 50 in this match. At risk of poking the soccer gods i won't contemplate/state the upshot of this.
