I was kind of happy that the US and Wales tied. I hate to cheer against either. Now it comes down to how each do against England and Iran and that will be fun to watch.

Tunisia played their collective arses off v Denmark. Very deserving point. Their goalkeeper made a couple of A+ saves.
As much as I enjoy the event, the faking just has to go. When VAR catches a fake/overreaction, the faker should be taken to the sidelines and paddled like a child in front of the entire fan base. It's exactly that stupid and childlike.

I know it's hard to feel bad for a player as accomplished as Messi, but I do. He will (unfairly) be judged by not winning a World Cup. That said, there's still a path where Argentina could win the group. I think they will end up beating Mexico and Poland and advancing to the knockout stage, as they are second in the world in the ELO ratings.
Denmark probably feels even worse than the USA after the draw against Tunisia. They were the overwhelming favorite to take second in the group, and a dark horse candidate to make a big run. Still possible, but unlikely."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards Deming

I’m not sure what Fox is thinking having Chad Ochocinco on their coverage. He played soccer a bit when he was younger, but could have used a coach when it comes to being on camera and talking about soccer. It’s a rough watch."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards Deming

Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostOne subtlety that most players don't even know is that if you are behind the ball when it's played, you cannot be offside.
So for example, if a guy makes a pass to a wide open net from the end line, and only his own player is there to knock it in, it's legal. The positions of the other team don't matter because all offensive players HAD to be behind the ball.
Even good referees bork that all the time.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!
