(Peru vs Denmark) 1-0 Denmark First game I have had the opportunity to watch this year. Good game, but the guy calling the game for Fox took it to another level. Not sure who he is, but that guy was great. I could listen to him all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATA Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 This Croatia game has been so slow paced. SMH at the Nigerian hugging one of them to the ground, by the box. That's an automatic penalty ... Com'on son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball just kept hitting the posts. The next Germany match will be killer because GER with all that anger will blowout any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATA Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 COL vs JAP 1-1 (69 min mark) Holy sh!t! In the first 3 mins Colombia gets a red card aka (-1 player) and Japan gets the penalty kick for it. An injured Rodriguez comes in, during the second half with an injured Calf.

Gas2No99 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The only teams that have showed the capacity to go all the way after the first set of group matches are: Portugal - on Ronaldo's back (it's possible since Maradona did it in '86) Uruguay - have a well balanced team with 2 forwards who are lethal. Also a weak group A. Denmark - LETHAL set plays and physical style Germany - excellent coach and attack. Mexico exposed their lack of speed. Belgium - LOADED young roster. Croatia/Serbia - I find these 2 teams similar in style, physique, and attack. My beloved Argentina underwhelmed, but against Croatia they'll put in Pavon for DiMaria at Left Forward & Lo Celso for Biglia at Midfield. Hopefully this adds more speed (i.e. youth) and keeps defenders off Messi since Pavon is a danger up the wing. I LOVE watching Peru play (they're playing that ACTUAL Argentine style of La Gambeta y El Triangulo), they play the way Argentina used to & SHOULD be playing now. Poland also has a nice game, but that 2-0 loss was brutal and a surprise. Spain has young talent, but they're another tourney away from returning to their previous level. The Swiss are good, but not exceptional to the point of making a real dent in the WC. Brazil sucks and is overrated. Russia has played WEAK competition and is playing off the High of playing at home (See South Korea in 2002 WC, for similar trajectory). France, England, and Mexico are hyped by their local media, but will flame out as they ALWAYS do after the 2nd round. I'm not sold on France. Mexico played their hearts out vs/ Germany and will run out of emotional gas after the 2nd round. Plus, teams will now rough up Mexico's diminutive forwards to stifle their speed and extinguish their long ball fast breaks which exposed Germany.

GATA Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 1-0 Uruguay beats Saudi A. A couple of things to take away from this. Uruguay looks like they're doing just enough per team. I expected much more from them overall; they were a fan favorite coming into the Tournament. Not sure why only play defense, they have solid fwds. On another note: I feel bad for the Saudi Team this was before the Uruguay game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't think too many of those players will want to beheading back to Saudi. And Iran deserve to lose by more than one goal. Bringing back those f**king vuvuzelas....
