Would have been 3-2 Sweden if he wasn't in there. When you are 2 goals ahead in a high level soccer game like the World Cup, it is pretty guaranteed a win. Yesterday Belgium was ahead of Brazil by 2 goals and they won. The only team with a 2 goal lead that lost was Japan. And that was the only time in KO phrase that a team with a 2 goal lead lose since 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralus91 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Yes, all-European semi-final. Although if one would be extremely cheeky, one could argue about the European-ness of Russia... and England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol well most of the NHL owners have mafia ties... so to say that everything is honest would be pretty naive. And FIFA has shown major corruption. However that play was just a nice shot. The goalie knew there was 0% chance he was getting to that. The only thing he had a chance of if he tried, was to injure himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 As an England supporter I'd rather they play Russia in the next round. Though with the tourney being in Russia I do fear half the team showing up having seizures and foaming at the mouth after having been exposed to Novichok.

Bruce Boudreau Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 3 hours ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: IT just so happens that european football was better this year than south american, asian and african football. Over 150 countries attempted to qualify from all over the world, and it just so happens european teams were better. I think Europe id usually better the most watched tournament outside of the World Cup is the Euro for a reason. The only reason more Euro teams don't make the World Cup is the restriction on qualifying spots. The other countries need to get better before we have a true World Cup. Only South America can challenge European sides and even then almost always come up short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
