Too easy there. He was left wide open.

 

[kiguel182]

Great save. Unfortunately!

 

[RocknRola]

The Russia GK has saved the 2-0 at least twice now. Keeping them in the game. I think we're gonna regret not making it 2-0 as time goes by....

 

[RocknRola]

And another one! Damn, that dude is on fire!

 

[kiguel182]

So close of 2-0 yet so far.

 

[Realeza]

This Russia Portugal game is pretty good.

 

[v1lla21]

Game's good. Russia is knocking.

 

[Realeza]

Is this Russia's main team?

 

[Jabo]

I can't stop laughing cuz everytime Zhirkov has the ball the FS1 (Fox Sports?) commentator pronounces his name as "JERKOFF" instead hahahaha

 

[Auraela]

lmao pepe

 

[kiguel182]

That kick in the leg deserved more than a yellow card.

 

[RocknRola]

lolPepe.

Though arguably that *could* have also been a red. Dude did indeed kick him.

------

In any case, Russia is finally showing up. We're gonna regret not having made it 2-0 already. Hopefully we can last these final 15 minutes, but we're gonna have a hard time for sure.

 

[MrChocolate]

Pepe as always, a disgusting trash player.

 

[kiguel182]

lolPepe.

Though arguably that *could* have also been a red. Dude did indeed kick him.

I thought Pepe was being Pepe but the kick in the leg looked bad on the Replay. The ball wasn't in play either so there's no justification for it.

Lmao yeah

 

[Auraela]

referee needs to control getting sloppy with fouls now

 

[kiguel182]

Yeah, we should've scored by now. I don't trust our defense against continuous attacks like these.

He was kicked in the leg...

And he acted like if it was chopped off.

 

[RocknRola]

Gelson could be our greatest weapon this game. Super fast (counters) with a reasonable skill to decided plays on his own. Let's see how that works out for us.

His effectiveness could be cut short by Russia scoring a goal in the next minutes though.

 

[RocknRola]

And he acted like if it was chopped off.

I know he Pepe'd it up with the multiple rolls and whatnot, but a kick in the back of the thigh is actually quite painful. I've suffered through it and it's not pleasant.

 

[Skellig Gra]

And he acted like if it was chopped off.

A foul is a foul.

 

[True Savior]

Andre Gomes is, quite possibly, the worst player I've seen play so many times for our national team. Pure trash.

 

[kiguel182]

And he acted like if it was chopped off.

He was asking for the red.

I don't see how he is the trash player and not the one who gave him a full kick in the leg when the ball wasn't in play.

You act like reacting to a kick like that is terrible. It didn't look easy.

 

[RocknRola]

Somewhat related to the game:

Nice gesture.

-----------------

Andre Gomes is, quite possibly, the worst player I've seen play so many times for our national team. Pure trash.

Also, this. So much this. How he keeps getting play time @ Barça and here is well beyond me.

Fernando, today I need 90 minutes from Gomes.

 

[kiguel182]

My heart can't take this

EDIT: It's over. We should've made de 2-0 but their GK was on point, can't fault the team. Russia reacted well in the second part and we were in trouble for sure not being able to keep the ball. Good game.

 

[Realeza]

Russia's coach was fucking pissed lmao

 

[v1lla21]

If Russia were any better they would've won. Lol.

 

[RocknRola]

If Russia were any better they would've won. Lol.

Arguably if Russia's keeper was any worse they'd easily be 3 down at the 60th minute mark Dude kept them alive and allowed them to push back. Though it feels like after the 80th minute they kinda lost some steam.

 

[kiguel182]

Russia was dominated for 60+ minutes in the game. This was our game all the way but they dominated the last 20 minutes or so since their team was pushing as hard as they could.

We should've done the 2-0 and had tons of chances for it but their GK did great.

EDIT: Altought our team was not ready for their push just like their weren't with Mexico. It's a bad defense.

 

[RocknRola]

Pepe needs to cut his hair again.

Bald Pepe? One of the best CB's in the world.

Pepe with hair? Average CB.

 

[v1lla21]

Also true lol. It was a very fun match all around though.

 

[Auraela]

Girl in wheelchair singing mexico anthem was so cute

 

[Regulus Tera]

I dislike all these changes in Mexico... but on the other hand, Oribe massacred the kiwis four years ago. hmmm

 

[DecoReturns]

Orsorio really gets off changing line-ups.

 

[Haiiro Husky]

There goes Osorio changing almost the whole line-up in the next match. I know it is New Zealand but still...this team never feels like there is much consistency IMO.

 

[jabuseika]

Mexico, you better not fuck this up.

 

[CMojicaAce]

What the hell is this lineup? There's literally one natural midfielder out there right now.

 

[DecoReturns]

What the hell is this lineup? There's literally one natural midfielder out there right now.

Not surprising. We started 4 center backs against USA.

 

[Haiiro Husky]

What the hell is this lineup? There's literally one natural midfielder out there right now.

Fabian? He happens to be the worst one too.

 

[Regulus Tera]

what the fuck is talavera even doing in the squad

 

[Auraela]

That goal kick lol

 

[DecoReturns]

These guys need to communicate better

 

[v1lla21]

Jurgen damm needs to learn how to loosen up. Dude always plays like he's wound up or scared.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm liking that the fans are not chanting puto

I'm not liking that the fans are not chanting anything. Feels weird man.

 

[DecoReturns]

Come on Mexico, I want you guys to face Germany so the twin Brothers can finally meet.

Edit: Talavera lol

 

[v1lla21]

It sounds like there's only 10 people on the stands

 

[Regulus Tera]

Holy shit at Salcedo

and holy shit at osorio

edit: i think he dislocated his shoulder

 

[DecoReturns]

Is he in shock because of the injury? He had a blank look on his face

 

[Blue Lou]

I thought he was crying into the referee's chest.
