Agreed. On that 1st goal, if you watch a replay of the whole play, Cuadrado gets the ball with way too much space and way too close to the Barca box. From then on it’s too easy and Dybala is just left alone.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why Mascherano was marking Chiellini on that 3rd goal.

Beautiful replica. Looking at that first picture, not only did the Portuguese President himself show up but also the Portuguese Prime Minister.

I may have missed something (reading hurts my head) but if the refs didn’t put anything in their report and apparently didn’t provide much in terms of “testimony”, how does FIFA determine 4 games?

I think you’re underestimating Pulisic though. 

This is one of the most unbelievable things I’ve seen in 20+ years of following soccer. On par with the 05 Liverpool-Milan final, the 7-1 in Rio or the 99 United-Bayern final.

Feels incomplete. Like it’s missing something... a Madrid forward berating his teammate, angrily gesticulating to the ground in front of him, where the ball should have been placed.

I hate that call. It’s a good example of the inherent problems with UEFA refereeing (i.e., refs from different leagues, with different criteria). In some leagues (Spain, Italy, Portugal) refs are much more likely to call that foul than in others (England, France, Germany), where they tend to let players get a little…

Viduka, Keane, Rio, Kewell, Alan Smith, Bowyer, Dacourt, Woodgate...

4/10, didn’t have his collar flipped up.

Beat me to it. Cooking bread is cute. Cooking a full “cozido” though...

+1 Taiwan to make out with you.

I think you’re being unfair, I would’ve confidently approved this too. The photoshop work is so good I’m amazed anyone caught it.

Fuck you.

Death of Ayrton Senna.

I’ve been following this sport since I can remember and so far this tournament has been a bunch of tactical and defensive battles, barring a few games.

Couldn’t agree more.

Aaaaw shit! Looks like once again, we have irrefutable evidence that soccer is a pussy sport played by whiny ladies who don’t like hunting deer and pounding six-packs of America.

I get what you’re saying (I think everyone on earth except Neuer could’ve done without the 25 seconds of samba that preceded that pass) but that’s bound to happen if you throw a player (any player) into a 2 hour match with 90 seconds left to play and then ask him to take a penalty.
