Alright. Well if there's ever a game you'd like to watch let me know

[mention]Golden[/mention], why are you limited to the 1 game? Is that all your tv broadcasts or is it a choice / timezone constraint?

If anyone needs an excellent free stream, lmk. I'll pm you link.

It's literally the best time to be on the internet tho.

the commentators had the right idea: if every time that happened there was a penalty, then the game would be called penalty shootouts not football.

just saw it

that should have never happened. disgraceful decision by the ref.

I dont remember that game, but Italy came out last in the group. I guess if NZ had won, then Slovakia would have been kicked out of the group stages :o I'll have to see the penalty call for myself cos you're definitely biased.

I had to revisit WC 2010 to refresh my memory on NZ's games. I don't remember them but wow you drew every single game in a group with Paraguay, Slovakia and Italy. you guys were probably playing full defence mode.

well actually, football is the #1 sport in Saudi Arabia, and they fund it well considering how rich they are...so that logic would lead me to believe KSA will win over Russia, which I don't believe.

I don't know if Jay was joking or serious, actually. If he was joking, it's still funny. If he was serious, it's hilarious and I love it.

Homefield and 4x the population of Saudi Arabia (and presumably a stronger cultural pull for the sport).

Rock-solid reasoning.

Have you seen Saudi Arabia play?

also host countries always have a push of motivation. They have an easy group; between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, I don't see Russia struggling to get second place out of the group after Uruguay. Egypt's strongest weapon was Mo Salah and he had a shoulder injury recently (though he will be playing...). If Egypt win Russia in these group stages, it'll be a great upset (for me...not Russians

). I'd love to see that. Unlikely, though.

so Spain fired their coach two days before the World Cup games and hired Fernando Hierro, a former footballer who was famous in Real Madrid.

I am not sure how this will work for the team... his tactic is to keep to his preceder because they can't change 2 year's work in 2 days. they sacked Lopetegui because he took a job with Real Madrid without informing them.
