What a World Cup. The stars have shown out brightly.

Where is that ref from? If I'm running this country, I personally call the rules committee to appeal that BS.

BUMP.

Making Soccer Great Again

There is a certain irony to Trump going to bat for Balogun given why he’s American.

He’s never actually lived in the US and is only a citizen because he happened to be born here while his mom was here on a tourist visa. In other words, a classic “birthright citizenship” case of the sort Trump hates and has been trying to get rid of.

Seems those anchor babies ain’t so bad when they’re helping us win World Cup games.

England vs. Mexico should be very good.

Agreed. Stupid rain delay.
Been a pretty damn awesome world cup thus far, all the stars are showing out. I'm hoping Flo/Pulisic do so Monday night!!!

^ Yea, I wonder if Belgium is helped more by being POed than we are by having him back.

I knew you'd be salty after your BFF stepped in.

Technically, the disciplinary measure, the one-game suspension, was itself suspended. FB is now on probation and the suspension can be reinstated in the year ahead v

Either way it is a big boost to our chances

England is showing their quality

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I’ve been sleeping on England. Kane still strikes me as very punchable but they’ve got great speed on the wings.

No doubt. I’m only clarifying that the call on the field was not repudiated exactly. The punishment was held in abeyance. I wish the rules allowed for the former.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

The keepers in this tournament have been as impressive as the scoring superstars. The Norway keeper was fantastic today and this England keeper has made a couple of brilliant saves.

Helluva game so far. Would love to see England hand Mexico the L

I would much rather watch Mexico send England packing

You may get your wish after that card.

I don't agree with that card, but you may be right. Brutal for England

Didnt age well.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Ugh

 

[MidseasonTweak]

This is absolute cinema

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Kane needs to stop flopping. It is embarrassing

 

[Runt#1969]

England up 3 - 2 but down to ten men, 74:21 and counting

just an insane atmosphere at the Azteca tonight, nobody is sleeping in England right now.

High Drama

 

[Starrcade]

11 extra minutes, lol. They've pullled every lever to try and get Mexico across the line.

They just ran out of time

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Damn good game!!

Mexican't. Good riddance to the horde of cretinous scum otherwise known as "El Tri."

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I wonder if that red card was part way influenced by the crowd and/or the cartels. I know I would be concerned if I was the lead ref. Same for the 11 minute extra time.
