Love how the Dutch exploited the wall and went low just past the laying down guy. Brilliant set piece.

This is feeling a lot like Croatia v. Brazil.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

LOL at tactical genius LVG just saying "pump it into the mixer, lads"

Update!?

I wasn't even criticizing him. It was the right move. The game is about adjustments and Lisandro Martinez is a smurf.

 

[AAABatteries]

I just a contact high off that clip of Amsterdam.

 

[Dickies]

That scene in Amsterdam looks insane.

 

[RCon]

I'm getting a lot of work done today.

I call bull****.

 

[AAABatteries]

VVD going to keep playing striker?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Yeah we gotta through the whole US Treasury to sign LvG

-QG

He's still being treated for prostate cancer.

Need to cure cancer to get this deal done. Not unreasonable under the circumstances.
But yeah I forgot that :(

This game deserves 30 more minutes

-QG

Exactly what I wanted, another cocktail on the way

good time to mention I’m working from home today and haven’t gotten dressed yet

I'm getting a lot of work done today.

I had a "business lunch" on the books. Now I'm back, little buzzed, and on a "conference call" in my office.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

I drew up a similar set piece on high school JV team back in '92. 100% true.

At least set piece coach. That role SHOULD be available.

 

[Zow]

I'm getting a lot of work done today.

I may or may not told a judge we needed to wrap up a hearing so we can watch extra time.

 

[AAABatteries]

Otamendi means “gives us dangerous free kicks” in Spanish.

 

[The Gator]

Hopefully we get this

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Man, these exciting games are really triggering my cognitive dissonance. How can I hate on FIFA/Qatari corruption when they have me on the edge of my seat like this?

 

[nysfl2]

Why was that Argentinian guy lying down on the ground behind the wall for that free kick? Is that normal?

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Argentina and Brazil are constantly measuring themselves against each other. I guess today they're going for "most epic collapse"

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Why was that Argentinian guy lying down on the ground behind the wall for that free kick? Is that normal?

I had never seen it before today, but apparently you do it so that the guys on the wall can jump in the air but the kicker can't sneak it under their feet while they're in the air

 

[ChiefD]

This tournament is really opening up for Morocco.

 

[Major]

We were discussing this earlier in the match. Relatively new tactic (last 5-10 years or so?) to avoid free kicks going under the wall. The Dutch just went around it.

4 UNDER THE WALL Free Kicks by 1 Player ● Only Lionel Messi Can Do This in Football ||HD||

Cristiano Ronaldo Can Only DREAM about ||

[Leroy Hoard]

So how long before they go to just kicks?

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Will have to root for Portugal; can't have the Iberian Peninsula conquered again.

 

[The Gator]

Just kicks?

JKs?

 

[TripleThreat]

I need everyone who hasn’t gotten a yellow to raise your hand.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Gakpo coming out 5 mins before PKs?

 

[B Maverick]

Weird.

 

[TripleThreat]

This game is fully drunk.

Just kicks?

Penalty kicks.

 

[Sand]

Best day of soccer, like, ever. What spectacular games.

it is something that has just starting coming into vogue in the last year or so. I don't remember anyone ever doing it before that though

 

[Zow]

Such a great save!

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

I need a cold shower after this

 

[Zow]

Oh, no, post! Wow!

Today is nuts.

 

[The Gator]

Such a great save!

The post?

 

[Sand]

HFS.

 

[NewlyRetired]

This was the best Concacaf game I have ever watched

 

[Zow]

Best day of soccer, like, ever. What spectacular games.

I think the only other time I enjoyed watching soccer more was the Donovan game.

 

[The Gator]

Virgil will have then best pk take

 

[Sand]

15 yellow cards - gotta be some kind of record.

 

[GroveDiesel]

They’ve run around a lot out there and he was really tired so he laid down for a quick rest.

 

[General Malaise]

Soccer is like SO boring!

 

[FreeBaGeL]

15 yellow cards - gotta be some kind of record.

Especially for the most without anyone being sent off.

 

[The Gator]

Jfc just flip the coin

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Soccer is like SO boring!

Agreed. I think I'm going to turn it off.

 

[The Gator]

Oops

 

[TripleThreat]

Clutch first save
