Wow, South Korea.

[The Sultan]

They have to stick with groups of 4 in the next World Cup. Groups of three is going to take away all of this drama.

[The Sultan]

Wow, South Korea.

The kind of joy/heartbreak that can't be faked, bought, or sold.    It half makes me wish I cared about any sporting event that much.    It will probably take another MU final 4 or the Lions in a Super Bowl to make me cry.

Everyone loves the "GOOOOOAAAALLLLL"  call, but I personally love the color guy just rapidly rambling in wonder in the background of that, and other similar Spanish calls

I've never seen a player more okay with getting a red.

[tower912]

Yes.  And it looked like the Swiss might actually have to go to war at the end.    Very chippy.

94th minute and tournament is over. I wouldn't care either

Except it wasn't yet.  Would have been extremely unlikely, but they were not mathematically eliminated yet.

So you admit you were wrong, glad we're on the same page.

I told you the sky is blue and you well actually'd me and said but it's really Pantone 19-4052. Congrats Rovell

You're either mathematically eliminated or you're not.  If you don't want to get called out for being wrong, don't be wrong.

Ok Rovell

I wonder what South Korea's odds of advancing were in the 90th minute today.  Good thing we can eliminate teams before the final whistle.

Much greater than Cameroon's.

South Korea scored and went through. Cameroon scored and needed help. I thought you were a math whiz ?

Point is, it's not over until it's over. Taking a 100% unnecessary red when you still have the chance to go through is an objectively bad decision.

Not knowing that they weren't eliminated is an understandable mistake.  Moving the goalposts and not admitting that you were wrong is a very chico-esque move, although I guess I should consider the source.

All good points Rovell

[Golden Avalanche]

Dumfries and Blind love to get forward. Plenty of space behind that Dumfries can make up with speed but Blind is liability.

Weah will be key since Pulisic will be half-assed and when Aaronson replaces Pulisic this is his chance to justify his top place in the substitute pecking order. 

Noppert is huge and easily reaches anything he sees. Plan should be to attack in bunches and create chaos. Touch worried about Weghorst bully ball late.

[JWags85]

Noppert is a lifetime lower level keeper who spent his entire career up until the last year playing against below MLS level competition.  And wasn't even a first choice club keeper until this year.  His first Dutch caps were in the group stage against soft competition.  He needs to face real world class pressure for the first time in his career and get his feet to the fire.  Chaos and pressure I agree with totally.
