[LionsAndBears]

Wow, what a goal for NED in the 10th and final extra minute!

Such a clever setup.

 

[LionsAndBears]

This could get ugly when it's over.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Such a clever setup.

Nobody saw that coming! Saved the best for last for sure!

 

[LionJim]

This could get ugly when it's over.

Ten yellow cards so far. It’s right at the border of ugly.

 

[BobPSU92]

Argentina win on penalty kicks. Great match.

 

[LionJim]

Argentina wins with penalty kicks. If the Brazil-Croatia match was a 10/10, this was a 7.

 

[LionJim]

Ten yellow cards so far. It’s right at the border of ugly.

Fifteen yellow cards in Argentina-Netherlands.

man eff penalty kicks

and in particular eff penalty kicks where the dude stutter steps or slows down or stops and makes the keeper react, that's a load of bs

Huhhh, I found this one even more entertaining. Incredible matches....both of them. The ref kind of made it about him, but other than that that was 2 teams battling for it all.

 

[LionJim]

Morocco-Portugal and England-France tomorrow. Two more matches with serious potential.

A great day of soccer, it’s been fun watching with y’all. I’m signing off for the day, been on long enough. Shalom.

 

[manatree]

The Croatia keeper just had the best ten minutes of his life.

Croatia's keeper was insane the other day in PK's....oh the drama.

Livaković is owed many beers.

Morocco-Portugal and England-France tomorrow. Two more matches with serious potential.

England v. France could be EPIC. . Talent all over the pitch.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

England v. France could be EPIC. . Talent all over the pitch.

England vs. Portugal and Croatia vs. Argentina........Dare we dream of a Messi vs. Ronaldo final to settle the debate once and for all. One can dream. Hopefully Morocco and France don't ruin the dream.

Played soccer since I was 6 and always thought it was a crap way to end a game. My favorite variation on the PK was a 2 on 1 (plus goalie). 2 offensive players start with ball at midfield. I don't recall if it was timed, or was stopped when the offensive play stopped moving forward (similar to hockey PS).
At least it was more indicative of the game than a free kick from 12 yds out.

[Tom McAndrew]

I can't believe what I missed. I thought Argentina would win pretty easily. Damn. Back-to-back games decided by PKs.

This is bonkers.

Morocco should be up, 2-0. Blew a 1-on-1.

 

[BobPSU92]

Final: Morocco 1, Portugal 0

 

[rudedude]

Wow Portugal eliminated probably last W.C. game for Ronaldo

 

[LionJim]

Morocco should be up, 2-0. Blew a 1-on-1.

Yeah, that was pretty easy. I was watching on the treadmill.

I was sitting on my a$$ eating chips crisps.

England-France coming up!

 

[LionJim]

Saka draws a foul in the box. Kane puts it in the net. England 1-1 France at 54’.

I got home just as Kane was setting up for the penalty kick. Pretty sure I missed some great soccer football.

 

[BobPSU92]

This is like an English Premier League All-Star Game.

 

[BobPSU92]

France!

 

[BobPSU92]

Stupid penalty by France in the box. Kane with another penalty kick. He missed! Still 2-1, France, 84th minute.
