Korea is having the better game after the hydration break.

Quote from: HVC on June 18, 2026, 07:20:46 PMThat it didnt seem like the foul was hard enough to break a leg. To me it didnt look like it was intended to cause this level of harm. But from the picture I saw it appears that kones leg is indeed broken. That being said it was still intentional and deserving of a red card.

But I didn't see a lot of replays so I could be wrong about how hard of a tackle it was. More of a split second impression.


The coaches on the sideline realized it was broken right away. They started yelling at the linesman that the leg was broken right after the play.  I also if you saw the look on his face right after he went down, that was no dive.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

England defence seemed slow and somewhat easily opened; so won't do as well as Argentina.  :bowler:

The goal Korea let up to Mexico was due to a brutal error by the keeper.
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.

Yeah that was a costly fuck up.

Yeah the aftermath looked bad right away. Found the clip. It looked like just a leg sweep after the ball had left so definitely a card (perhaps in other circumstances a just a yellow). Wasn't like a cleats up slide tackle or something along those line which I was trying to (ungracefully) articulate.

Damn. Maybe Canada, Mexico, and the US all advance to the knock out rounds.

OK, it really IS a Tartan army, that noise will strike the fear of god into most opposition:

I've a friend who's out there with Scotland and having a fantastic time. He says Boston's really embracing it and he thinks Scots and Bostonians are a very good match - less sure how it'd have gone if it was Scots in Miami, say (catastrophically burnt :lol:). Apparently Philadelphia also getting very into it, New York basically indifferent given the Knicks run.

I saw someone online saying Bostonians are acting like rural townspeople at the end of a film where a friendly outsider teaches them to live life to its fullest or overcome their differences, "except instead of aliens or drag queens it's 50,000 Scots" :lol:

Quite enjoyed the story that the only beer left in some bars is Bud Light - which the Scots are refusing to engage with.
Let's bomb Russia!

Scottish fans were having a great time watching the Red Sox play the Jays.

They took over the ballpark with their chants.

That is fantastic.

Only problem: the reputation of Bostonians is to be assholes. Not sure what that says about them and the Scots  :lol:

At least they got to attend an entertaining game. I hope they had fun. I always wanted to see a game at Fenway Park but the times I was in Boston they are always playing the Yankees making the ticket prices unaffordable.
