Zazzaro703 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) I'd like to see FIFA tell all teams that on fouls where a player acts like they got shot because their shoe lace got clipped, the longer they stay down rolling around the longer they have to check VAR and see if there is embellishment after this World Cup. You want to stop the game and roll around for 90 seconds then they will have 90 seconds to review the foul and see how bad it actually was. Hand out cards according to how extreme the embellishment is. The Mexican player should have been given at least a yellow because he knew what he was doing and didn't step off immediately after stepping on Neymar's ankle, but Neymar should have been booked too for the theatrics. This nonsense has been such a stain on the game for so long and now that they have replay I don't see why they shouldn't review these plays if the player is going to stop the game anyways and give them plenty of time to do so. I would like some of whatever they have in those spray cans, those spray cans have been curing broken bones and torn muscles on the pitch for decades.

And **** Michael Bradley Take someone like Shinji Kagawa as an example. Integral part of a team that won the Bundesliga two years running, played in the CL knockouts with Dortmund on a yearly basis, did some good things at Manchester United even though he wasn't used correctly, and when he plays for his country he runs his socks off and he doesn't think he's God's gift to soccer, or that he's doing anyone a favor by being there. Then you have to ask yourself what exactly guys like Bradley, Dempsey and Donovan have achieved to come back to the national team and run around with their chest puffed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sweden moves on to the Round of 8. That means either Sweden, Colombia, or England will be in the Final 8. Crazy Cup continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Good luck Colombia this evening. I know they have far better trade agreements with Russia and don’t have to go through the hoops (and expense) Europeans do to enter the Country, but it’s really adding to a brilliant WC (fast becoming the best since ‘86 IMHO), with like half of South America in Russia adding to a brilliant atmosphere. So the longer another of their teams last the better. Hail. Edited July 3, 2018 by Gibbs Hog Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the dumbest statement I've heard in quite some time and it makes me think you have no clue about AFC and CONCACAF football. The top 5 CONCACAF teams will take out the top 5 AFC teams all day, I would put good money on it. It's laughable that the AFC gets the same amount of auto bids as Conmebol when there are 3 average teams in the AFC and the other 45 countries are terrible. Mexico makes it out of the group stage every WC, the US has made it out of the group stage in 3 of the past 4 WC's (Last WC they were in the group of death). CONCACAF has 3 teams ranked in the top 30 by FIFA, the AFC has none. "Mile ahead", are you on Robitussin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan are much better than the U.S right now and it's not close. Not sure what evidence you have to suggest otherwise. Japan has players in most of the top leagues in Europe, they're much more technically sound than most of our players outside of Pulisic and they almost beat Belgium while we couldn't qualify ahead of a team that celebrated a 6-1 loss because they scored a goal in a world cup. No contest at the moment you might need some tussin in that kool-aid you're drinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No contest at the moment you might need some tussin in that kool-aid you're drinking. I'm not even going to argue this because its so ridiculous, Japan has always been technical but in the end, they cant match up physically, just look at the last goal by Fellaini and how he swallowed up the 5 foot tall Japanese CB as he scored the game-tying goal. I know the US crapped the bed but people are getting a bit crazy. We have some good young talent and we'll be ready next cycle. Japan won 1 game in the entire tournament, it means nothing, consistency is where you gain respect, the US has been consistent whether people want to give them credit for it or not, at least consistent in making WC's and getting out of the group.

How many players do Japan have that would walk into the U.S starting 11. Other than Pulisic we don't have anyone that could play for Japan. 7.3.2018 it's no contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
