imagine being a mexican fan and talking shit about european teams.

Commenting on the excitement level of game is now talking shit about a specific team?

Try again buddy.

Japan is a weak team but the Japan-Belgium game was fun to watch. Do you have a problem with this statement?

Spain is a strong team but the Spain-Russia game was horrendous to watch. Do you have a problem with this statement?

You seem awfully insecure about your team.

Ironically, I expect the game this afternoon to be fun to watch because Colombia is going to bring in the spice.

I'm rooting for England mainly because I'm still a little sorry for Sol Campbells goal being denied 14 years ago.

Sweden is not a "poor" team even though they might fucking bore you to death. I don't see England/Colombia opening up that 11 man defense with a ton of goals.

Two incredibly poor teams. Colombia and England gonna be happy watching that.

A team that has only conceded 2 goals in 4 matches (zero in three of them), won the group, beaten Mexico 3-0, helped eliminate Germany, and is now in the QF, is "incredibly poor"?

I'll give you that Sweden's offensive qualities are not much to write home about, but they do exactly what they have to in order to win matches. It's working.

But the point still stands that if it was Neymar people would be calling for his head.
That's on Neymar himself... he is the boy who cried wolf at this point with the amount of exaggeration and play-acting he has done throughout his career.

No one trusts him at this point.

Honestly Colombia without Rodriguez is probably going to be easy pass for England, it's amazing how England still have to face an decent team (Belgium in a game that doesn't matter and both sides want to lose doesn't count)

Edinburgh, Scotland
england v colombia prediction: cuadrado scores off a pickford goalkeeping mistake in the first half, kane gets another one off a set piece at the beginning of the second, sterling finally gets one from inside the 6 yard box with 20ish mins to spare, everyone's very nervous towards the end but england win 2-1

if its that "guy that shall not be named" instead, you know ppl would be calling it a dive and shitting on him
The difference is, that in that case there would be a Neymar-shaped hole in the net and boarding.
Why was the goal not an own goal?
A deflection is only an owngoal when the ball would otherwise have gone wide. So, if you shoot at the goal, straight towards the keeper, and a defender gives it a nudge, so the keeper is caught on the wrong foot, it is not an owngoal, even if the keeper would probably have saved the shot otherwise. When the attacker shots the ball wide, or crosses it in front of the goal and a defender nudges it in the goal, then it is an owngoal.

I was 14 years old the last time Sweden got this far in a World Cup, I still remember staying up at night watching all the matches. That was 24 years ago. Crazy!
I don't think Sweden have a lot of great players, but they seem to work great as a team with a solid defense. If Sweden actually had some technical players that knew how to score goals on a regular basis, they would be far better off I think, they missed some huge chances this match. But somehow, they manage to squeeze by anyway. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. lol
