OT: World Cup

What a prick move ^^

He did get the red card for it at least. I think that means he misses the next round game against the US.

Belgium scores!

love how the goalie goes down like he is shot laying motionless, the russian player goes up to see if hes ok or says something to him and he shoots up spitting mad ready to go.

fuck sakes this is the thing I hate most about this game

Agreed - the antics are just ridiculous.

This Russia-Algeria game has been pretty entertaining though. Lots of attacking/aggressive play from both sides. Not leaving anything on the table here. Loads of yellow cards.

Yes it does.

Related question - do yellows in two matches during the World Cup also mean a game suspension? I thought I remembered that, but maybe I'm just thinking of two yellows in the same game (which is of course an automatic red).

So your breakdown by continent going into the knockout stage...

Europe - 6 of 13 (46%)
South America - 5 of 6 (83%)
North America - 3 of 4 (75%)
Africa - 2 of 5 (40%)
Asia - 0 of 4 (0%)
Oceania - 0 of 0 (n/a)

Pretty outstanding showing by the Americas.

Two in the group phase gets you a game. I think it resets after the group phase and then if you get two yellows during the knockout phase you get a game.

^ Let me guess, he just found out the 2022 World Cup was being taken away from Qatar and being relocated to Qo'noS.

I was thinking today it'd be pretty funny to colo(u)r your hair green and paint your arm gold and be able to make the World Cup logo.

I'd do this... but alas, no hair to dye.

So does this make Europe the B1G Continent?

Maybe it's time we called in that favor from Belgium for that whole World War 2 ass kicking we delivered on their behalf. #Merica

Are you saying we should pull out our win in the bank next round? I dunno...we may need it later.

Heads up: I've had a really long and really rough day. My first thought when seeing those pics was, "Yay! We lost!"

I'll let myself out now with my negative nancy thoughts.
