Quote from: Zoupa on June 24, 2026, 10:02:10 PMI'm not sure what Korea was doing the last 2 games. Absolutely dreadful. No urgency, terrible tactically. They might go through but they certainly don't deserve it. Awful, awful watch.
My students looked shell shocked after that last match. Very disappointing after a spirited first match against the Czechs.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I watched the game with Czechs last night.  I couldn't believe that team came from the same country that had a legion fighting its way through Russia 100 years ago.  It seems like the mere sight of Mexican players knocked them to the ground writhing in pain.

South Africa? We got a chance baby! :Canuck:

Yeah they are really bad. Kind of amazing a team that shitty from Europe made it all the way to the World Cup.

All the hosts are basically guaranteed a third place opponent.

Edit: obviously not true

Jokes on you, canada wasn't good enough to score a 3rd place opponent in the knockout round :P

A legion that returned to Czechoslovakia by fighting its way East through Russia :lol: :ph34r:

Czech football is one that moves in waves, like Hungary's. Right now both are sort of on a downturn, compared to the historical trend. Let's say that Czechoslovakia has played EC and WC finals and won the EC since the Czech legion.

I, for one, has let my inner racist out apparently, by feeling some joy over Turkey's miserable results.

Also Qatar and Saddie Arabiata.

Ecuador-Germany is very fun so far.

ECUADOR! :w00t: Fully deserved they've been fantastic.

Edit: I'd add slightly surprised by Neuer on both Ecuador goals.
Let's bomb Russia!

QuoteThe hundreds of Ecuador fans packed into the Fifa fan park under the Brooklyn bridge have just gone crazy at that goal. German fans don't seem too bothered about it as they have nothing to gain. Some were even celebrating with the Ecuadorians. Extraordinary.


There are times when even BBC journalists should identify the sex of certain people.  :lol:

Ok so maybe we aren't going to crush everybody by multiple goals on our way to World Cup glory after all.

The US were already through. Did they rest any players?

Norway's going to rest seven players against France.  :glare:
