More flopping by senagal by number 8. He got barely pushed in the nut sack and they brought out a whole stretcher for him. That must be some pretty big nuts. Why kind you ask? Dez Nuts
Wales made the formation and tactical adjustments at half. The US reverted to their "we are playing in CONCACAD" Ways....not making the adjustments to the Wales adjustments, laziness in the offensive 3rd. Bad passes, bad fouls, lazy defending. Pulisic whining to the ref allllll game.
Great match today between Japan and Germany - my favorite of the tournament so far.
Some of these early results will yield high-pressure games over the long holiday weekend. Looking forward to Argentina/Mexico, Netherlands/Ecuador, Germany/Spain, and of course USA vs England!
Anyway, Brazil is my not-surprising pick as a winner to bring the trophy back to South America this year. Unreal depth and not as many injury woes as some of the others. France looked surprisingly strong despite their injuries, though beating up on Aussies isn’t saying much (nor does the current Spaniard shellacking of the Ticos). England vs France ought to be quite the knockout stage matchup, assuming it happens.
Also, anyone notice how toned down the Spanish celebrations were as they waxed Costa Rica? I love the USWNT, but their display in the last World Cup during that, what was it 13-0, whitewash was wrong.
Couldn't be happier Germany lost. When you insist of bastardizing the face of your nation by forced placement of certain types of peoples for wokes sake then you deserve to lose. Loved to see unwoked Japan and Japanese players win!!
