Well done Australia. 

Feel bad for Tunisia

Why? They lost to Australia. They have no reason to complain about Australia advancing over them.

I feel sorry cause they beat France but didn't advance. A

I assume he meant the last minute goal, that was then reversed

No. I meant that they beat France, they played well. Feel sorry for the players for winning but yet losing.
But I'm happy for the Australians.

FYI, France B vs Tunisia in 20 minutes. 

Think they're going to bother trying?

Judging by the squad and the result: no. 

[HVC]

Well nevermind then . I felt bad when they got scored on.

Goalie seems like the only position you can start playing late.

Holy shit. Is 14 late? Did I doom my son by not starting him playing Soccer until 10?

10?

I had my kids playing soccer at like age 4.  And I don't even like soccer.

Because I put them in T-Ball.

I'm beginning to think the reason you haven't signed your kids up for youth hockey is out of a personal vendetta against me.

A knee injury kept me from playing organized football until I was 14. Of course that's the only reason I didn't become a football superstar 

Mine was I realized I was blind and needed glasses too late.

I'm terribly near-sighted and I started playing organized soccer at 5. For years I was complete shit and always the worst player on my team until I started wearing prescription sports goggles 

Of course kids often made fun of my goggles, especially talking shit on the field. I would sometimes have the last laugh after scoring a goal in the game

Well nevermind then . I felt bad when they got scored on.

However, there was some lame last-ditch attempt with Griezmann trying to save the game, off-side goal.

PS: great screw-up by the broadcaster here in France, ending the broadcast for commercials before the end of the VAR check in the stoppage time.

Denmark apparently couldn't retain the energy from the EC.

Didn't watch any of the games anyhow due to Qatar... I guess I didn't miss that much.

I tried, but I failed quickly.

Tense group c game for Mexico. Ended One goal away from the knockouts.

[Zoupa]

Poland should be ashamed. I've rarely seen a team at any level be dominated like that.

[Threviel]

I've noticed that I've more and more lost interest, unless I'm watching with someone I just turn it off and go do something else. Qatar world cup sucks ass.

Shame about Denmark, but they didn't play with their usual gusto.

It's alright Mexico. You can enjoy watching the USA play against the Netherlands on your couches at home.

Watching the post game they were literally a heel away from going through

[Tamas]

It ended up two goals away for Mexico, but Poland was indeed terrible and it won't be pretty them going against France.

I really hope "an economic Maguire" catches on (eg Brext: an economic Maguire). It would be incredible if this became the new "Leeds days".
