Diaz almost nailed Swiss D in the face with a bike from a foot away :lol:

Then an impossible slice from distance that somehow didn't go out of bounds

Thursday Friday QF games being in the afternoon is absolutely absurd

Friday's game will still be 9pm in London, not exactly primetime

The scheduling inconsistency from day to day has been awful

The called off goal was, in fact, bullshite

The claims for Egypt on that last goal were nothing. Nothing happened on the other side.

Egypt waited until 85 minutes to shite their pants

Egypt GK had his hands on BOTH goals
Odds were against him to save either given speed of shots, but that has to hurt

quote:

---

One of England, Norway, Egypt, Colombia or Switzerland will be in the final.

Absolutely insane, although still some time left here

If Egypt pull this off, England have ZERO excuses now

frick you VAR FIFA and Argentina

VAR has been the villain of the knockouts

That is such bullshite

Egypt is going to make the QF in a USA WC with neither USA or Mexico getting there

frick this

Argentina was gifted the easiest path to semis I've ever seen in a WC

While this doesn't explain the talent drop off, the fact that we've moved away from pure shot stoppers and attempting to European-ize the GK position by focusing on abilities with ball at feet doesn't help.

We need someone who can make saves and clear the ball, not pull a Cryuff turn. See how well that worked out today.
