World Cup

I agree, which is strange because Europe has most of the best teams.

No offense but that is nonsense.
Europe has 7 of the top 10 FIFA ranked teams.
Russia is ranked outside the top 20 in Europe alone.

The home team in game 1 usually rolls someone.

Key word, usually, haha. Though, still, good point.

Early on it seemed Morocco might dominate. I couldn’t watch all but was surprised to see Iran had won.

Was the against play 1-0 result you have when the better team isn't clinical with finishes.
Those games hurt to lose.

 

[Londonboy]

what a game!!!
So good.

and all of Chelsea screams "we miss you" to Diego Costa.

This Diego : Yes.
The pouty whiny baby from His last season at Chelsea : No

 

[Carson]

Ronaldo amazing again

 

[Sarek]

Again with all the penalties. I thought this was mens soccer. Fifa refs these games like small children are playing.

Even small Kiddywinks know that jumping in the air and punching the ball is a bad idea, that was shockingly bad.

That last yellow card late in the 2nd half was a terrible call. Fifa refs are the worst. NFL pass interference has turned into a Fifa type call. This kinda stuff destroys the game.

 

[Sarek]

This Argentina vs Iceland game is being reffed much better so far. Very few calls, he's letting them play.

 

[The Fonz]

Messi is no Ronaldo for sure. I have no clue why they call him the best player in the world.

If You watched Barca regularly, You'd know why.

 

[Carson]

It sucks for Messi that every time he has an average game or misses a PK it’s magnified times 10.

I still prefer Ronaldo to Messi all day every day. But both are 1a and 1b regardless of my opinion.

But hey, I’ll take either at Chelsea for sure

 

[CATCH17]

Messi is no Ronaldo for sure. I have no clue why they call him the best player in the world.

Because he’s the best player in the world.

 

[Sarek]

If Croatia loses or even ties today they won't deserve to advance past the group stage. I'm expecting a very good showing today, they better not let me down!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

All of a sudden, I don't feel so bad about England's loss to Iceland in the Euros. If Argentina couldn't beat them, then I'm not terribly upset anymore about that loss, haha.

Yes, no shame losing to a Country who's entire population could fit inside Heathrow Airport's car park.

 

[The Fonz]

Because he’s the best player in the world.

I don't deny that he is a good player but the best? no way.If you are the best you shine when you are needed.

 

[The Fonz]

If You watched Barca regularly, You'd know why.

I am sure he played well for them but he is not consistent.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a difference maker.

 

[Sarek]

That's one, can't slow down now, Croatia gotta keep the goals coming.

 

[CATCH17]

I don't deny that he is a good player but the best? no way.If you are the best you shine when you are needed.

He usually does.

Ronaldo and Messi score about the same rate as the other.

The difference is Messi is better at getting others involved. He’s a better all around player then Ronaldo.

And Messi just has the magic. Like Michael Jordan if not better type of magic.

Today was a very bad day though.
