About sums it up

I’ll throw it on during the first half in bed and pass out. That Vikings vs. Africans game was great though.

I'm an irregular watcher of soccer... I think what's also happening is there seems to be a lot of scoring happening in this tournament... seemingly very few 0-0 & 1-0 scorelines

It may be somewhat on average more than I'm being led to believe... just the perception to me



Allowing 8 3rd place teams to advance has actually given us better games because the lesser teams are fighting for a spot that in the past was closed to them.


They don't have to win the group, just prove they belong over others


They're motivated and are fighting for a spot, in turn giving us better games

Just saw that England could potentially play Mexico in the Azteca in the Round of 16. That actually sounds delicious.

Who was that dumbass Algerian that passed a rocket cross field not knowing if anyone was there?
Bench him, because that's how Jordan scored

Entertaining game.

This is the third game I've seen in the last 2-3 days where the team clearly controlling the ball for most of the game was/is losing.

I love how people shite on matches like Jordan/Algiers.


If Jordan wins, they have a chance to win the group against Argentina in the last game.

If Algeria wins, they have a chance to win second in the group.


Minnows are interesting in this World Cup because the sharks haven't adjusted their attitudes to accommodate the new rules.

Not gonna lie: I'd be surprised if both these teams got through the R32.

One maybe. But both?






I see England getting through over Mexico. Mexico is not a good team.


SK had them, but was too gun-shy.



And England is England.

The ref is going to have to see a broken leg to blow his whistle. Dude is letting both teams get away with pretty much anything.

ETA: That Algeria goal has been a long time coming. This match has been entertaining as hell. Probably my favorite Non-US match so far.
