they're just happy to get out of group play.

(I'm actually pulling for them, I reckon.. along with France).

Nope it's the Columbians...maybe...I don't know...but this is the loudest game I've heard so far.

by **CORNER BLITZ** 2018-07-03, 15:18

All the Columbians messing with the penalty mark lol

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 15:32

This has to be the most yellow cards I’ve ever seen in a match.

by **Tim Wakefield** 2018-07-03, 15:32

Floppy flop flop. Embarrassing

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 15:55

Hahaha awesome.

Love you England

by **Tim Wakefield** 2018-07-03, 16:02

Vamos!!!

by **MiamiSpartan** 2018-07-03, 16:03

Wow, craziness yet again.

My daughter is texting one of her best friends who is in Colombia right now. But neither give a shit. The whole country is probably going crazy around her, and I think they're talking about whether Sweden or Switzerland had cuter players in the earlier game.

by aualum06 2018-07-03, 16:05

Referee having a fine match lol

by aualum06 2018-07-03, 16:08

Start handing out reds

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 16:36

yay another yellow card.

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 16:40

Shoot out!!!

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 16:48

I love shootouts.

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-03, 16:55

Shootouts are so intense. Great dramatic finish to a crazy match.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2018-07-03, 19:14

I wonder what is the most number of penalties that a World Cup Golden Boot winner has scored. Kane has 6 goals, which is usually enough to win the award. He has 3 penalties, plus one that went off his heel which he knew nothing about.

by aualum06 2018-07-06, 10:40

Beautiful header from France to take the lead

by aualum06 2018-07-06, 10:45

What a save for France

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2018-07-06, 10:45

What a save by the French keeper.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2018-07-06, 10:45

Cagey match so far. Enough close calls that France can't feel confident with just 1 goal.

true.

Also, isn't it about feeding time for Suarez?

by aualum06 2018-07-06, 11:19

Uraguay in big trouble now

by **MiamiSpartan** 2018-07-06, 11:19

Wow, Uruaguay keeper pulls a Karius, and it's 2-0

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2018-07-06, 11:19

Unreal

by **Nordic** 2018-07-06, 11:21

What a lazy goal by both the Uruguay D and goalie. D was just standing there looking.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2018-07-06, 11:25

Uh oh, Suarez looks like he's hungry for French food.

This crap is such crap

by aualum06 2018-07-06, 11:26

He should get a straight red for that flop imo

by **Nordic** 2018-07-06, 11:28

Getting chippy

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-06, 11:52

I have a few improvements for soccer. Get rid of offsides, punish the floppers with a red card and add a penalty box to allow for fighting.

I do always love the once-every-four-year analysis of how to completely change a sport that makes more money than any on earth in order to try to appeal to a segment of Americans that still won't give a fuck anyway.

Edit: FWIW, I'm not really taking a shot at steve, as he's been watching quite a bit. But more a commentary on how every four years people that hate soccer always say "They should do this and that to change the sport, then I might watch." As if anyone in world soccer really gives a fuck if some hard core NFL fan watches soccer...which they still wouldn't watch.

To be honest I just posted that to be funny and I don't expect the sport to change. Been enjoying the tournament, I just wanted to see a fight in the France vs Uruguay match.

Belgium just scored. Boooo! I can't root for a nation who's only contribution to the planet is the waffles.

Is Suarez the guy who bit someone

by **MiamiSpartan** 2018-07-06, 14:19

What about chocolate? And the Smurfs?

Yes, on three different occasions, actually (the most famous being 4 years ago when he craved some Italian during a world cup match).
