2022 World Cup

[Frayed Knot]

Kane was able!

[metirish]

Yeeeeees Giroud sacres on a great header from a peach of a cross , France 2 England 1

[metirish]

Another penalty for England, absolutely stupid shoulder from Hernandez on Mount ( who had just come on)

Kane misses , wow

[Frayed Knot]

Kane was able!

And then he wasn't.

[metirish]

France win , at the death Rashford had a free kick go very close , great game

[Frayed Knot]

Yeeeeees Giroud sacres on a great header...

And it didn't even muss his hair.

[metirish]

Kane was able!

And then he wasn't.

Kane will have nightmares about that

[Frayed Knot]

Much of England will have nightmares about that.

[Frayed Knot]

So who had the worse day yesterday, Kane with the missed tying PK or the Navy running back who fumbled at the goal line in OT vs Army?

Poor dude was rolling on the ground crying after Army won on their next possession.

Apparently lots of drama in the USA team , Gio Reyna was nearly sent home for a perceived lack of effort before the opener against Wales , 13-12.player vote kept him in Doha.

The voting may or may not be true

All of that is wild. Explains why Berhalter never used him. I guess his comments were supposed to be off the record, but gotta say it seems pretty foolish that'd speak out about a "problem player" anyway. Can't imagine that will be a tick in the "good" box when the brass is reevaluating him.

[metirish]

Reyna responded today, if I knew how to post an image I would, anyway, not a good look for player and coach

[A Boy Named Seo]

Fabrizio for the win

[metirish]

Such an odd situation overall, the coach is great friends of the family, Gio's dad is Claudio Reyna

[Frayed Knot]

Coach took some heat for not playing Reyna more during the WC and leading up to it, but this makes it seem like he's not the only one who reached that conclusion (even though that players vote thing seems to be fake news).

I tried to care about the World Cup but it didn't take.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I tried to care about the World Cup but it didn't take.

Another shot for it to take with Messi chasing the elusive World Cup in 20 minutes...

[A Boy Named Seo]

PENAL!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Messi with an absolute rocket to the top of the net. His hammy looks ok to me. 1-nil ARG.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Missing a heckuva match, Fman.

2-0 Argentina, but they've had other chances, as well, and Croatia had a really good opportunity just now as we get towards the break.

[metirish]

Amazing second goal , shades of Maradonna in 86

[A Boy Named Seo]

Amazing second goal , shades of Maradonna in 86

What a run, right? I thought that could've been a handball shortly after, too.

[metirish]

Mesmerizing from Messi, brilliant run and lay off for Alvarez to make it 3 zip

[A Boy Named Seo]

He danced around like kid like he was standing still

[metirish]

France 1 Morocco 0 , 71 minutes
