    sucks man. I'm enamored with this vid.




    guess I'll have to settle for 720p then. bein sells a 4k media server that costs around $600 but it's only available to the middle east and north africa, I don't get it.

    Catch also the French league with PSG (Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani); it’s awesome.
    And of course the premiership.

    Yeah, he should have shot it straight at the bottom left instead of trying to hit it in the top right corner, especially since he had the momentum. He had a brain fart! The RA miss was also mind boggling. He had the whole net gaping in front of him and simply had to hit the target.

    He completely missed that. Should have at least hit the target. He did have Courtois and 2 defenders blocking the goal so it may have been blocked. He tried upper 90 when just hitting target might have been OK.

    RA could be a national hero right now if he hits that scoring chance to tie the game.

    At the end of the day what we need is more craques, period. Our attempts at being organized almost always fall flat. We concede in dumb , avoidable circumstances come the KO stages. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to organize but it's never going to be our strongest suit. Even the 1994 team which was a fortress in the midfield and defense still blew a 2-0 lead over Holland just like that. We ended up winning because our craques outscored them, plain and simple. When Lucio gave Owen that assist in 2002 it was Rivaldo and Ronaldinho that saved the day for us. It was no strategy or tactical formation, it was individual brilliance. I doubt we're ever going to win a WC by out planning the Europeans.

    I agree...Unfortunately we are nowadays playing like European robots i.e tactics, strategy, power and less of skill. I will be happy if vinicius junior and company plays an attractive brand of soccer in 2022.

    I wish we had a player like messi and not neymar. Messi knows the importance of being a world cup winner. It seems neymar is more interested in worldwide attention with his hairstyle and other theatrics. With this attitude he also may have to leave the scene without a world cup winner medal in his cabinet. Messi has tried hard with a mediocre team around him.

    The game has evolved though and will continue to evolve. Teams have improved and so has coaching. Brazil can’t simply out talent oppositions anymore.

    I will say this though. I don’t necessarily think we need more craques all over the pitch but I’m starting to believe that the key position we need a craque in is the striker position. I think every other team beside Brazil can win tournaments with a right balance between talent, coaching and luck but we need all of that and an elite striker IMO.

    At the Globe Pub.
    Since 7am this place has been packed. Got here at 9am and the line is two blocks long. But when you’re Yves, you got clout in the soccer community of Chicago, so Globe grabbed me and threw me in the pub bypassing the line. It’s fuking nuts in here.
    jammed fuking packed.
    The final of the World Cup just 20 minutes away!
