2018 World Cup - Omnibus

Morocco are better suited to the champions league given that they have 17 foreign born players in their 23 !!

Ridiculous imho

 

I'm not sure how I feel. Maybe it's because the US isn't playing, but this tournament, I'm really noticing the difference in quality between CL games and WC games. The CL games are MUCH better on average. But maybe that's just because there don't seem to be the usual handful of impressive, exciting teams in the tournament.

I do still prefer the WC, though, since I have some rooting interests even without the US involved. With the CL, I have no attachment to any Euro pro teams unless they have a Yank on them, so I really don't care at all who wins those games (other than rooting against Real, Bayern, and whoever Mourinho is coaching).

 

The WC is so much better than the CL. Saying otherwise is screaming, talking head, "look what I can say!" crap. So boring.

 

Costa Rica are parking the bus, but Brazil look like they have no answers. Neymar is going to come away with a well-deserved "OVERRATED" tag after this tournament at this rate.

also, Navas is crushing it today.

 

Going into the tourney I thought Croatia had a decent shot at getting into the Quarters, after seeing these two performances, they may have been the most impressive Ive seen, but are they peaking too early?

 

obviously Argentina are going to be doing nothing special this world cup, but it doesnt look like Brazil will be either.

This group could realistically have Serbia and Switzerland getting out of the group

 

Modric would have 8 goals in this game.

 

Neymar must have heard he had 10 fouls the first game, and thought he could get calls, every time someone comes near him he is flopping down.

 

DAAAAAAAANGGG!!!!

give Neymar a yellow for that that was a fish-like flop

 

That is not a penalty for me.

EDIT: Good on VAR, Neymar deserved a yellow for me.

 

VAR is fun!

 

it wasnt for the VAR official either, right call. they saved a controversial decision. VAR has been a wonderful this cup with the decision making TBH

 

theres Neymar's yellow, and for that flop it should be two yellows and a red.

 

Costa Rica doing all they can to hang on, this game feels like its going to have 1 goal in it in these last 5.

 

LOL Costa Rica.......jesus........not necessary.

 

lucky, undeserved.........

This Brazil team is not good.....they wont last long

 

Navas saved their bacon repeatedly today. And as soon as Costa Rica started making fools of themselves, karma punched them in the gut.

I'm so glad CR is going to lose after that nonsense. I'm equally glad that Coutinho is upstaging Neymar.

 

If Im playing Brazil, Im hacking Neymar all night long. He responded extremely poor and I do believe you can get him out of the game.

 

Costa Rica collapsed.

 

Neymar with the garbage time goal. He's just a frontrunner.

 

I think its because the traditional powers are a bit down this cycle.

edit: which side note for me makes it even more fun to Watch.
