The 1-2 was offside, wasn't it? Not that it matters much, because it looked like Costa Rica was much more motivated than Uruguay in the second half anyway.

This also means that I vastly overestimated England. Before this tournament started, I believed they would manage to earn one point in the group stage. Now I don't think they'll make any.

Yeah it was.

Yeah I was hoping for Lallana instead. Here's hoping that Rooney decides to wake up for once.

Italy is guaranteed to have a great match, following how they played in confederations and the Euro.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Running into the corner and keeping the ball as long as possible is THE time playing tactic. I FUCKING HATE unsportsmanlike behavior. There is no excuse for bullshit like that.


It's not unsporting it's being clever, the ball is in play and if Uruguay can't deal with the tactic then that's too bad it's part of the game. It's the same as rigid defending only it's in the opponents half.

By that logic, rolling on the floor for non-injuries is totally clever and sportsmanlike too.

It's bullshit and the only thing this shows is the weakness of the team and no respect for the sport.

Except theatrics and simulation is actually cheating while holding onto the ball and defending in open play is not, don't like it tough shit deal with it, it's like people complaining in a game of Streetfighter about zoning.
