[CletiusMaximus]

That’s a penalty. 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

PK coming

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Afif knows and is down to get the review.

 

[El Floppo]

Easy PK call here

 

[Desert_Power]

And Matt Turner is ridiculous.  Not sure what makes you good at what he does, but he's in a great spot all the time.

Can't teach reflexes like that.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Have to hope it's not clear and obvious.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Sands fouled him.  

 

[El Floppo]

Why is Dike on. Holding his shoulder...clearly can't move. What good does this do to keep him in.

 

[gianmarco]

That ball by Hoppe was luxurious.

That's a PK.

 

[Moe.]

If you pulled a random person off the street - what are the odds they’d be better on TV than Dr. Joe? 

 

[Ned]

Afif stayed down to wait for the VAR. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

My wife commandeered the TV for the Olympics, what happened?

Dike is clearly not 100%.  he is wincing on every contact on his shoulder.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I think that is a PK as well.

Slap it low. 

 

[gianmarco]

Not surprised.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Acosta is rapidly becoming a favorite.

 

[encaitar]

Acosta with the proper ####housing.

 

[Desert_Power]

Not surprised.

It was pretty clear.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Legit PK call, but Qatar deserves nothing but terrible breaks for their entire football existence.

Yes, I'm still angry about the 2022 World Cup.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Oh, you hate to see that...

 

[TLEF316]

Turner.....is....God

 

[Desert_Power]

 

 

[TripItUp]

LOL, terrible PK

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Who said it was too late to get Wondo on the field?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Dude in the crowd flying the double-bird on the miss is glorious.

 

[El Floppo]

Lol 

Qataris are choking under pressure here. So many easy chances blown...so far.

 

[McBokonon]

Acosta MOTM just for that whole thing

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh, you hate to see that...

How many missed panenkas makes up for the karma of a dozen dead slave laborers?

 

[TripItUp]

RELEASE the ZARDES 

 

[gianmarco]

Hoppe has straight filth sometimes.

 

[encaitar]

Hoppe has straight filth sometimes.

His technical skills are amazing for a 9.  He's too good for Bundie 2.

 

[gianmarco]

Why is Moore coming off? Why is Nips staying on?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Qatari salt mines await that poor dude. 

 

[El Floppo]

All like for like with the subs.

Busio a surprise.

 

[gianmarco]

All like for like with the subs.

Busio a surprise.

Right... Should have been Nips off instead of Busio.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL at the Social Distancing Since the 90s shirt.

 

[TLEF316]

Seems like we're definitely making an effort to get Qatar on tilt. Very chippy 

 

[gianmarco]

Qatar have studied CONCACAF diving well.

 

[QuizGuy66]

USA digging in some spikes now its inner concacaf awakening

-QG

 

[gianmarco]

Looks like a game broke out.

 

[TLEF316]

Wow. What a sequence 

 

[QuizGuy66]

USA #17's name was gotten from a scrabble rack

-QG

 

[gianmarco]

Lletget can't put in a good corner for his life.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Excellent Baggio tribute by Qatar btw

-QG

 

[Desert_Power]

Qatar's keeper made a real mess of that. Need to test him more.

 

[TripItUp]

Why is Moore coming off? Why is Nips staying on?

GGG blind spot

 

[Poke_4_Life]

GGG blind spot

All of us have a soft spot for Nips. 

 

[gianmarco]

Lletget gets that ball in a great spot and instead of sending it forward, turns around and passes back. That's the kind of stuff that doesn't show up and "looks fine" but it's a wasted opportunity.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Cannon making stuff happen on the right side.
