No, I think it's the emotion of soccer. I used to be the "offsides is so stupid" guy and think that the sport was stupid. But I got tired of hearing people say that it's boring there are too few shots on goal and the games are 2-1 all the time. a 14-7 NFL game is a 2-1 game. Granted not entirely the same but still....

The fact that it seems like the shots are all so important and so stressful and so damn skillful to put together..... yeah, I haven't given this game enough love. Having said all that - the country against country for ultimate bragging rights certainly adds some do or die excitement to it.

The fact that it's a global tournament does it for me. National pride and all that.

why don't they make it easy to tell what team is which?

And Rashford shows his touch and skill right away. Technique will always be Sterling's weakens.

And, in contrast, what really make Mpabbe stand out as a special player.

In 2022 you'll get to see how the world handles mass heat stroke. It should be a sight to see.

And the finest stadiums that forced labor can build.

Who did Lingard pay to get this much playing time?

Sinn Fein · Jul 11, 2018

Congrats France?

Maybe the coaches still believe Jose is the Special one?

The lack of commercial interruptions really helps too with the emotion level for a good game.

Did Joe Bryant buy FIFA?

To balance this out, I yell "take it off and celebrate" every time they show a hottie

Vardy for Lingard and Dier for Alli. Plz

Yeah, no kidding. So much better than the NFL play for 5 seconds commercials for 5 minutes way of doing things.

is the old obstruction rule gone?

I think its been loosened. Ball is supposed to be within reach, which gets bigger all the time

Jaysus · Jul 11, 2018

LOLvren

Sinn Fein · Jul 11, 2018

Rashford has looked good.

T-shirt Ninja · Jul 11, 2018

FREE KICK. OMG

Ramsay Hunt Experience · Jul 11, 2018

This is going to end with Kane flipping.

Big fan.

Welbeck would have buried that.

well then. OT it is, again.

with the new 4th sub rule, do you have to have used 3 in regulation time before you get to use the 4th?

Had to reach a bit because they didn’t even take Andy Carroll.

I thought you did. In which case Southgate really blew it.

So he can make 3 subs now?

4 for Croatia, 3 for England

Mookie · Jul 11, 2018

I thought Croatia was supposed to be tired ...

You have to buy 5 subs and have the sandwich artist punch your card before you get the 6th one for free.

I’d have to fire up some Ginuwine.

P.S. I can't wait to see Loftus-Cheek!

Croatia midfield looking like the team that got them there. They were so flat in the beginning.

Its a lot easier when England just sat back. Meanwhile Croatia keeps pressing.

Jaysus · Jul 11, 2018

that prob should have been a second yellow for Rebic

Jaysus · Jul 11, 2018

Henderson is worse than Sterling and Sterling combined

Ramsay Hunt Experience · Jul 11, 2018

All Sours.

That's absurd he's been quite good this tourney. He's not expected to score as Sterling is.

Sinn Fein · Jul 11, 2018

In before England obviously playing for Pens.

Sand · Jul 11, 2018

Oh wow. Great defense.

Ramsay Hunt Experience · Jul 11, 2018

Man on post.

Jaysus · Jul 11, 2018

OH.... so that's why you cover the post
