Futbol thread.

And tonight is the perfect example as to why that rings true. We had a game plan without Balogun, and just yesterday that went up in smoke. You've got players who are going in with a specific mindset who now have to make adjustments because Balogun is back on the field. You've got a replacement starter whose pissed their chance has been taken because a politician who knows nothing about soccer has butted in.
The "there were plans without him" cope makes no sense. they could have simply subbed him out or started the game without him and only subbed him in when it was absolutely necessary.
On top of that you have Balogun, who probably felt quite a bit of weight on his shoulders for now having to think about how his president (who hates him for being an anchor baby) has now intervened on his behalf, and a huge swathe of supporters do not agree with that decision.
Refer to the above
This isn't even mentioning how pissed Belgium was about the situation and now really wanting to make the game look really one sided. A recipe for disaster when you're trying to win a game.
Good on them for winning then
 
It was a red card hit. Had that happened in one of my games I would've wanted that individual off the field and the org to be having a discussion about why it's unacceptable. I'm tired of my fellow amerimutts saying it's not reasonable to call
It's not reasonable because it wasn't a reasonable call period. Balogun had zero control of where he was falling down and just like I discussed in the NBA thread, a stupid retard placing their foot under a falling player that has zero control, when they have FULL control to not risk the shattering of their ankle, DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, deserve to be rewarded with any kind of foul. It was not a rigging of the game. Forget soccer, this is across EVERY sport. It is not a soccer thing. It is a physics thing. It was not FIFA corruption. It was a bad call by a shitty ref with a clear axe to grind because he was probably very biased.
 
The US is still one of the best host countries for soccer. We didn’t even need to build new stadiums to accommodate it. The same could not be said for many soccer focused countries.
Enjoy your medal.

And as outsider, as hosts you were actually ok, mexico being the best and canada being the fucking worst. I didn't saw a single video about the canada games. If you told me they were in hollywood in a studio, I would believe.
 
It was funny to hear the commentators on Fox beg the American public to continue following the tournament and support the sport as if their subscription numbers didn't just tank irreversibly.

How was Mexico the best host when their fans consistently harassed and attack opposing teams and fans, and their cities are unsafe as hell?
 
I watched a little bit of it, when they scored that 3rd goal the goalie was running around in the middle of the field. Did we send retards to play? I don't know a god damn thing about this shit but I would imagine the goalie should watch the goal right?

The fuck even is this?
