Why, to see all the whiners who couldn’t play a real sport cry.


Ah, so you're insecure. I get it brother. Hopefully you'll find an outlet with a healthier hobby soon.

Okay poor sport boy, keep dreaming of something ever happening with a poor sport in the US. We play real sports here son. Lol, I love retards defending an inferior “sport”.


Why are you on the soccer board?

It's also a weird thing that you keep calling it a poor sport. Do you think the giant infusion of cash and pay for play is good for college football? Assuming that's a rich sport you follow.

I haven’t watched one game of this poor man’s sport.


:lol: All we needed to know. Back to the Rant with you.

Lol, yawn. Retarded response but you aren’t that stupid, are you?


A solid rebuttal. No doubt, you have evidence to back up your claim, right? Or are you just regurgitating some old refrain that you hear that one time you watch soccer every 4 years?

If we had our best athletes actually wanting to play this, the results would be different.


No doubt Patrick Mahomes and Paul Skenes would make excellent strikers.
As I mentioned before, there are different ways to lose games.

Losing a hard-fought game is one thing.

Losing a game where your team simply no-shows is another.

There's pride and even understanding in one, there's shame, embarrassment and 0 excuses in the other.

More like Apollo Creed vs the Russian.

There's also a Grand Canyon's worth of distance in quality of player between us and England.


I 100% agree. Quality and big game experience.

But the types of goals we gave up tonight were inexcusable for your local high school game. Let alone the World Cup.
Some ways to lose simply are worse to lose than others. The absolutely ridiculious ways we gave up goals tonight are inexusable.

Freese's is obvious.

But of course the first goal we had 3 players watch a ball drop in between them, drool dropping out of their mouths while a Belgian player secured the ball and crossed it in for an easy goal.

The moment was simply too big for them.
I know there's no real 1:1 comparison.

But what I just saw seemed like the rough equivalent of a ball being hiked to a punter and then the punter randomly second guessing whether or not he should punt the ball.

It was good technique. He didn’t touch pulisic. He just put his foot there.


Thanks. That's not what I asked.
Legit question:

Pulisic just kicked the Belgium player that stepped in front of him. No foul. Fine.

Why was Kane penalized for kicking the leg of a Mexican player who lifted his leg in front of him?

Besides the angle, what's the difference?
quote:


We need like 2-3 Pulisics before we’re taken seriously


2-3 Prime Pulisics? Sure. 2-3 tonight's Pulisics? No thanks.
That looked like a practice kick to help keepers train for corners.
quote:

laughable how bad we look. Belgium is good but not this good


This. Belgium has actually looked pretty slow and lethargic all tournament… getting along by the skin of their teeth.
Our goalkeeper is the reason this game isnt already over.
Man, I don’t know. Pulisic looks 27 going on 40 out there.
I honestly don’t know what would be sweetest:

Winning without a contribution from Balogun, kind of showing we didn’t need him to beat Belgium.

Balogun just hammering them with a hat trick.

Balogun scoring a last minute winner.

That last one would produce such a juicy amount of Euro rage.
Honestly, if Europeans are fuming at FIFA corruption or some type of unfair play - they have no one to blame but themselves. They’ve sat idly by for decades watching that organization become what it is. Too late to act bewildered now.
