Anyone expected Canada to win against Croatia?
“Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers.”
Strong start for the first 20 minutes and then it became obvious we were quickly gassed. Croatia controlled the rest of the game.
Reminds me of the Flames. Strong start, think they can coast to a win and then get blown out of the water lol
Ultracrepidarian
Pretty clearly the Canadian media following the loss to Belgium. Hell TSN still gave the ‘ambitious player of the game’ to Davies when it was clearly KramarićThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You'd have thought so with the way the Canadian coach was running his mouth.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Underdog coach talks tough ahead of big match. Not anything unusual or new. I don't think the world of sport journalism needs to act outraged about this.
Does this mean I won't have to hear about soccer any more.
Outrage would be silly, but "don't give the other team whiteboard material" has been a useful guideline for ages.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Potentially bad strategy, or lack of disciplined strategy, maybe.
No. It’s the biggest spectator sport in the world apparently, so it stands to reason you’ll always be around someone that wants to yap about it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The only way I could see it being interesting is if we created a drinking game where every time a British announcer says "brilliant" (pronounced bReEiAnNˇ1!1ˇ!!) to describe an athletic endeavor, you would have to drink.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That way, you could die of alcohol poisoning within the first 9 minutes and not have to watch soccer anymore.
Then maybe be buried with the 6,500 dead slaves. Everyone is a winner.
It really is a magnificently boring sport to watch.
Or they describe a play using the word "quality". That too would leave you dead well before halftime.
Soccer announcers are one of the few people in the sport I kinda respect. I mean, imagine being a play by play dude in a sport where almost nothing happens for 90+ minutes. (Don't get me started on the retarded timing rules that soccer uses).
Or "Halfy Waffy Timey Wimey" as the brits say.
I was going to insert a barb about that and call it a "cubic" or something Cajun.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I got weird looks at the Brazilian bbq I was at for lunch today when I asked them to turn the real football game on instead of this soccer nonsense

Also, CR7 continues to be a DB:
"Fernandes' 54th-minute cross initially looked to have been directed into the net with a glancing touch by Ronaldo's head, but television replays suggested that the 37-year-old did not make contact with the ball.
Fernandes was announced as the goal scorer on the big screen in the stadium, despite Ronaldo celebrating as though the goal was his..."
