Colombians are weak bitches. Thank God Var has fixed a lot of this.

No matter what happens, you could consider this tournament a FLOP for Columbia
Posted on 7/3/26 at 10:29 pm to magildachunks
Columbia's antics really make me want an equalizer
Bitch-play the last 15 minutes

As I predicted Colombia is dominating but just not on the scoreline
Posted on 7/3/26 at 10:31 pm to magildachunks
Colombia pushing for a second instead of just going to the corner.

Has Columbia been flagged for anything since the 60th minute?

What an underwhelming game

Good for Colombia! Get the rapist Varsenal Partey out of there.
Plus more Colombian talent for future matches

What an underwhelming game
Two mediocre teams without the heart of Cape Verde or Paraguay nor the skill of Spain and France
Whichever one of these teams advanced would be knocked out in R16

16 Round of 32 games
5 tied in FT (2 in ET, 3 on PK)
6 by 1 score in FT
3 by 2 scores in FT
2 by 3 scores in FT
that’s pretty good competition
All games won by 2 or more scores were by powerhouse teams
France
Spain
USA
Mexico
Switzerland

I thought the refs have done very well this tournament not feeding into the BS and antics. This is the first game where I thought the ref was very poor in controlling the flow of the game.

Man all you have to do is describe some dumb lsu game where there’s no line of scrimmage and all the WR get to start in the endzone. Every play is a Hail Mary. Probably more touchdowns and chaos but the game would be stupid. All they can say is yeah maybe but soccer is still gay and leave it at that

Colombia has a very solid chance to beat Switzerland

Agreed.
The only game I had a problem with the officiating was the Germany-Paraguay match.
I didn't like how he allowed Germany to play so physical that it crossed over into thug tactics.
Other than that, I only have an issue with the implementation of VAR. It's used too inconsistent, and when it is used it results in a controversial outcome.

Dubs in the chat for Colombia, they send Ghana to CANCUN!

That's why I try to use targeting as a good comparison.
Usually there's no intent to subvert the rules, but it happens because someone is trying to do their job and make a play. In the process of doing that, they inadvertently break the rules, and get punished for simply trying to make a play.
And alot of times the infraction is completely subjective to what the official sees.

An offensive player going early is no different than a WR jumping early or getting a running head start towards the line of scrimmage. Do you want to watch the XFL and Arena league or the NFL?

From here on out, I am going to assume that every body has a chance to beat anybody.
I don't expect that Paraguay beats France, but I also won't be as shocked as I would normally be in other World Cups.
This is the craziest World Cup I've ever seen.
You'd be insane to gamble on it.

But yeah, every other match is between relative equals, or the favorite has enough flaws that you can't argue they're locks
