Blow for US Pepe just saw red. Means he can no longer be sent off be sent off when Portugal play us in Manaus

 

[Celph Titled]

Pepe to Neto (I assume?) is a pretty sizable downgrade in terms of skill. Really can't ask for much more here, from a US perspective.

 

[Norman Paperman]

should be about 5 minutes added on this half...

 

[B Maverick]

If Germany scores again Ronaldo comes off and gets ready for the US?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Yeah Mueller needs an oscar

Yeah glad to see a good player knocked out of the US game but not glad to see a crybaby actor get rewarded for it.

Red for Ronaldo?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Too much to ask for a frustration related red?

Can you get Ronaldo tossed next? Thanks and God bless.

The hope is that C-Ro gets so frustrated that he says "F it. My knee hurts too much for this ****!"

I think goal differential is too important to do stuff like this, unless he's still hurting I guess.

 

[Snoopy]

A red card disqualifies you from the next game too.

but there's no excuse for coming to him on the ground and "head butting" him. It was not violent but it was stupid

 

[Jules Winnfield]

It wasn't the acting that got Pepe the red card. It was the soft headbutt that he did next

True but with his knee being an issue leading up, 2 wins may be more important then holding down the score?

 

[Christo]

oof

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Lol, 2 minutes.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Run it up!!!

 

[CletiusMaximus]

hang on Snoopy ...

 

[NewlyRetired]

Every world cup at least one big team implodes. Might as well be one in the US group.

I assume he went down at the guy to yell at him about the ##### acting.

And I don't think he intended to headbutt him as much as get in his face and talk #### about it. Of course with that light head tap Mueller made sure to make it look like he had just been hit with a right cross.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Good info here.

 

[massraider]

"Here's Ronaldo! What must he be feeling?"

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I love Muller. In a way the Reus injury simplified things because otherwise I fear the Jogi would have played a full attacking front of Tricksy Hobbitses.

 

[Celph Titled]

Would love to see Germany hang a touchdown on these clowns.

 

[gianmarco]

That Oscar award ceremony was over 2 minutes long.

 

[Norman Paperman]

Getting embarrassing for the Iberian Peninsula

I think you are right. If they get blown out then two wins is going to be the only real way they can get through.

he pretended to get head butted while sitting on the ground?

 

[AAABatteries]

Couldn't happen to a nicer ########.

This result is absolute best outcome for US.

 

[Christo]

Did the ref call the initial "foul?" I thought they kept playing.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Müller!!!

 

[Celph Titled]

Is Ronaldo coming off injured too much to ask for at this point?

 

[The Gator]

Time to pull Ronaldo...this game is toast.

making any contact there was stupid

 

[Premier]

Such a great outcome for us.

We're beating Ghana tonight and advancing. #### this group.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I'm asking for another five German goals.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Germany this good or Portugal this bad?

 

[B-Deep]

screw that

we ain't afraid of no portugal

 

[Sammy3469]

Getting embarrassing for the Iberian Peninsula

Just reverting to their historical mean

 

[Premier]

In also at a German bar that makes their own beer and is basically giving it out for free now. :beer: :Germans:

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

This is like saying Hitler accidentally killed some Jews.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Goals continue to flow and assuming not an amazing comeback, another game with no draw.

 

[Sammy3469]

Germany this good or Portugal this bad?

more the later than the former. Portugal tends to implode especially when their long ball game isn't working (which it wasn't).

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

getting in someone's face and talking #### often leads to inadvertent head butts (actually true)

 

[Norman Paperman]

Germany this good or Portugal this bad?

For today - both.

 

[Jaysus]

How good is Pepe? Is this helpful for the U.S. game?

Would have been better for him to implode during the US game

On the plus side, now Pepe can not injure anyone on the US squad.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

What's the cocktail of choice for Nigeria-Iran? That seems like a tough one.

Fermented goat's milk.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Really expected mote Iran-Nigeria pre-game hype in this thread.

-QG

 

[QuizGuy66]

And yeah I wanna see Germany put up a snowman here
