Group A's General Discussion Thread

Is Son really still ROK's best player like the commentators are saying? Genuine question.

I'd be a bit concerned for them if he is.

 

Horses don't kick up their legs behind them more than the MX player did there. He was totally looking for the foul, but also made if difficult for the ref not to pull out a red card.

The art of diving.

 

big fan of this new protocol

 

I mean what the heck is VAR for then ?

 

Lots of empty seats

 

LOL

Both teams just punting the ball back and forth.

 

the altitude!

 

Even though there are empty seats the atmosphere seems better than I expected for a match like this in Guadalajara.

 

Crowd doing "Ole"s even though ROK can't get out of their half. Haha...

 

Its early. Let's see what they're like in minute 64.

 

Czechia's goalkeeper played for Swindon Town and Burton Albion. So that's something.

 

This match feels like the quality of a match between Swindon and Burton.

 

Sulc is 25. Not, by any means, a "young player" as they keep insisting.

 

.I don't envy the commentator that gets assigned to do a Korea match. But the Telemundo guy did his homework - knows all the players.

 

It's 72 degrees in Guadalajara . . . not "super, super hot".

 

I just cannot listen to the FOX lady anymore. Have to switch to Telemundo.

 

My batting average is like .200 with Spanish. I can read it perfectly well and passably speak it . . . but listening to it . . . ni cagando!

 

ROK playing the nicer football. I still won't bet any money on them getting a goal soon.

If Czechia scores, it feels like it would come from a cross and header.

 

Let’s go Czechia

 

Son has as many attempts at goal (5) as the other 21 players combined.

 

Korea far superior. But can they score?

 

Goal

 

was always gonna be a header for 'em
