World Cup
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Buck up! Not the kiss of death, and being undefeated isn't so great. No one has gone undefeated in group play and gone on to win the World Cup since Brazil in 2002.
Yea, yea, I know. Suck it up, buttercup!
The drama of that last-second goal was just a bummer. Saw it coming a mile away when the ref wouldn’t blow the whistle. My fandom of the USA side is on par with my Jayhawk love, so I’m a bit more ingrained than most.Anyway, quite happy with their group play performance. Onto R32!

And we’re down to 32!! Exciting.
There are a few crazy hard bracket pairings, and a few easier paths to the next round.
Germany and France could face each other with a win. Same with Spain and Portugal.
I admit I know squat about Bosnia-Herzegovina. Will have to study up. Go USA!
P.S.: that Algeria game was fun! Anybody rooting for them as they are training in Lawrence?

@rockchalkjayhawk Rock Chalk Algeria

Ahh Canada...

Some great games today
Brazil coming from behind to win in the last minute of stoppage time
Germany getting knocked out by Paraguay

Finally done catching up to the games today.
Missed the Germany game, so not sure how they lost.
Just watched both the Brazil and Morocco games.
Wow. Can’t believe the Dutch lost! That was a U-G-L-Y pk shootout!
Ha, but what do I know. I badly shanked my only pk attempt in high school.pressure! -
A full European crash out would be neat but France and Spain are too good sadly. Mostly thanks to colonization for France.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk PG came with a great game plan and executed it perfectly. Germans just could not create good shots even when controlling the possessions.

I tell my players if you don't make mistakes on defense you'll win the game. Japan guy made a horrible pass in stoppage time and 10 seconds later Brazil had their winner. I wonder if Japans coach tells them that?
