[sestrugen]

[The Omega Man]

Shit. I can't do this anymore. It's 7 AM here. I NEED A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP.

Can someone pls PM me the results after?

The same Internet you are going to use to check your PM can be used to check the results, heck, even faster than checking your PMs

 

[LNBL]

That cannonball

 

[Konosuke]

That save!

 

[akaoni]

How do you insult Koreans when they rig a world cup tho. Shaming co-host Japan in the process. There must be a way to express one's contempt towards such an offensive behaviour.

 

[Suen]

Strong shot, not offside. Fuck off ref.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

How hard is soccer to get into from someone's who's a basketball player. Watching the world cup so far has piqued my interest.

Not hard at all, granted you're in good physical shape (somewhat athletic) it is one of the most physically demanding sports, a lot more running than basketball. you will need lots of stamina.

other than that just buy a ball from a sporting good store, and practice kicking, do dribbles on your feet, kick against a wall and back and forth (a'la squash or ping pong against the folded table) Keep practicing controlled kicks, passes, strikes etc.

Next look to join a local league, maybe people at your work? or community, indoor outdoor whatever.. try to play in a team at least once a week, it can be super fun... Start as a defender (position) and see what suites you the best as you get better.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Honda is so good.

 

[Spongebob]

Man Japan is missing some easy passes.

Needs a training arc.

lol

 

[ShaoranWright]

What a save by the goal keeper!

 

[Overdoziz]

Not offside, but doesn't matter.

 

[Jubern]

Honda is BOSS. Too bad that couldn't go in.

 

[Mory Dunz]

This is a good game. Bony was onside, but messed up anyway.

Don't know who I'm going for.

 

[feel]

osses (the ref) is from chile, we are using the spray since last year.
no excuse.

Ah! Yeah.

The players keep shuffling forward as it's being applied though.

 

[StriKeVillain]

LA BAMBA??

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Honda pass it!

Great dribbling though

 

[Maintenance]

IV train 252 DEF Japan, you're welcome.

 

[Tabby]

Honda is a literal god.
My senpai.

 

[$200]

holy shit that was fast

 

[LNBL]

Oh my bad, still relatively simple though. I found basketball and ice hockey way more complicated when I tried to get into those.


Can't let my bias get in the way of my judgement

It was so shit last season lol

Who do you support?

 

[Konosuke]

They keep giving Honda space, fools.

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Guess I'll stick with fuck Korea then lol

 

[Usobuko]

Japan's been lucky.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Who do you support?

Ajax and we never should have won it this season with our shit play :lol

The true champions. Our lords and saviours.

 

[Probity]

Oh sorry I meant actually playing the sport. As someone who never learned the fundamentals as a youth.

Well, it isn't too hard really, just hard to practice alone.
Getting into good positions is the most important thing, and it isn't super easy.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Why do African countries underperform in these tournaments? It's not like they lack quality players.

 

[Mory Dunz]

That close down...

 

[HighResTomato]

Japan parking that bus big time

We all do love Go Ahead Eagles.

 

[dakun]

Why do African countries underperform in these tournaments? It's not like they lack quality players.

maybe because they play pretty shitty teams in qualification.. so they aren't used to play big games as a team

[Clydefrog]

some of these jerseys couldn't be any tighter

 

[Codeblue]

Japan needs to get it together.

Edit: Jerseys are tight because of rain probably?

 

[Zabojnik]

Japan won't finish with a clean sheet, that's for sure.

Structure and mentality; too many players wanting to be heroes and taking long distance shots; etc.

And Asian players are generally undervalued.

 

[MightGoThere]

Man, those Ivory coast outfits are awesome.

 

[jossueinacoma]

Can someone post that conga line GIF form the Netherlands game

 

[Ryck]

Very entertaining match so far.
