Did Portugal not practice PKs before the tournament? Nani has to score from that corner, too.

Also pretty stellar use of VAR there to get it correct.

 

Andre Gomes saving the day for Portugal. he comes on and they win. Coincidence? I think not

 

Fuck up by Chile. Should have scored when ter Stegen made a bollocks of the shot. Germany down the other end and punish a Chile cock up.

 

Germany should be 3 or 4 up.

 

I really don't like the Chile players tbh Bravo kicks Kimmich and the Chile players all surround Kimmich. Unsure why Kimmich got booked there

 

Really, Vidal? Against your own team mate?

 

I was just thinking the same thing about the Germans

 

Players on both teams are getting bowled over every few seconds. Not sure why everyone is so upset it's not being called.

 

I don't like how often the Chile players whine. When something doesn't go their way they seem to whine a LOT!

 

how the fuck did that Chile player not see red. not even a free kick? deliberate elbow

 

I think this description fits every single soccer team I've ever watched tbh

 

great timing

 

what the fuck ref? that's a clear red. and Jara complains about the yellow. disgusting

 

Germany's B-team would be a top 10 team in the world in their own right. Only other country that could probably say that is Spain, yeah?

 

Argentina would have two teams better than their first team if they split them into two.

 

Forever living for the Higuain killed Messi's legacy thinkpieces

I didn't realize they went that deep, though. I mean, obviously, their midfield/attack pool is absurd, but otherwise.

 

Defence might struggle but you could conceivably make two quality first 11's between their talent pool.

 

Something I've been thinking about, if each confederation fielded their best XI from all nations combined, who has the best squad?

My guess as to strength order:

CONMEBOL
UEFA
CONCACAF
Africa
Asia
Oceania

 

Vargas booked for complaining. Then sends off the Chile manager lol

 

If making the VAR sign is yellow card dissent, shouldn't that German player who took way over regulatory time to take throw in to make sure VAR was used also be considered dissent? Trying to figure out that rule...

 

he only took the time because the ref had signaled already.

 

That's the opposite of what our commentators were saying, haha.

 

the ref signaled that the video refs had called him and told him something happened. he was listening to them while the german player had the ball for the throw in. it wasn't the tv box symbol initially.

 

Some of the touches these Chileans have are incredible.

 

jesus ter stegen is having an awful tournament. seems he might snap and concede from nothing at any time.
