Could get abandoned at this rate.

 

[oyoshimaru]

First we get Honduras trying to fuck over Mexico in 108 degree weather and now Costa Rica is freezing in this snow storm.

 

[xintin]

someone better celebrate with a sled.
edit oh christ, Taylor Twellman commentating.

 

[Sloosha]

Taking home-field advantage to it's most ridiculous extremes.

 

[Meier]

Can't believe they didn't give that penalty. Yikes. Particularly unlucky with the keeper completely out of his goal.

Taking home-field advantage to it's most ridiculous extremes.

Wait for the Bolivia vs Argentina game next Tuesday.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Can't believe they didn't give that penalty. Yikes.

In this weather I cant really blame the ref. i doubt he can see much.

 

[AndresON777]

Isnt there a black ball they can use?

 

[Meier]

I see Spain had 82% of possession and took 29 shots but only managed to get 4 on goal. Ugh, so obnoxious. Finland just be on top of the world with their 1 SOG going in.

 

[Nesotenso]

holy shit, why would they pick colorado to host the match. the amount of snow falling is insane, so many states to choose from wtf!

altitude, going into Azteca.

No one probably foresaw six inch forecast in late March

Is this accurate? Goddamn.

 

[KidA Seven]

Mexico is the national team who plays the most games throughout the year.... and they play vs garbage teams multiple times... of course he is gonna break the record... Hugo Sanchez today would shit on Chicharito easily.

Oh come on. It's not like he didn't score vs Argentina, France, Spain, The Netherlands, Brazil, etc... too. His scoring record for Mexico is really good. And so was Hugo's. Hugo scored like once every 2 games. He should have had more, but Mexico was banned for a while.

No one is saying Chicha > Hugo. Everybody knows Hugo is the superior player.

Hugo was big in Real Madrid but really nonexistant in the national team. Kinda like what a lot of people think of Messi (which I dont agree with).

 

[Kyoufu]

Is this accurate? Goddamn.

I wouldn't doubt it. He was godlike pre-injury.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Peru CHile is boring as fuck

Did you changed your name?

 

[Empty]

i wouldn't describe zidane, gerrard or lampard as playmakers anyway

 

[arkon]

Is this accurate? Goddamn.

Real Ronaldo was frightening. He mastered the art of the stepover.

 

[WAR recon zero]

His madrid spell was awesome as well

Is this accurate? Goddamn.

Real Ronaldo was the best player I've seen play in my lifetime. Zidane is the close second.

EDIT: Messi is third!

 

[jtb]

Wikipedia says Ronaldo scored ~400 goals for club and another 62 for country so given the goals tally is wrong... I wouldn't hold out much hope for the assist one.

Not that it really matters. Honestly, the assist is the most meaningless stat in football imo. Doesn't measure anything besides who got the second-to-last touch.

 

[Clydefrog]

Zidane > Ronaldo

 

[Fry]

Ronaldo is 36. He could've been playing until today.

You fat idiot.

 

[Kyoufu]

Zidane > Ronaldo

Can't compare them. Both are legendary.

Ronaldo is 36. He could've been playing until today.

You fat idiot.

He retired because of his injury.

 

[Sloosha]

Real Ronaldo was frightening. He mastered the art of the stepover.

Denilson was the master of the unnecessary stepover.

He has hypothyroidism, dude.

Willkiller won't buy Virtua Tennis 4

 

[jtb]

Pretty crazy that Ronaldo never won the Champions League.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Did you changed your name?

Yep, skeezer was a bit, too skanky. Finally reached Member status!

 

[Meier]

Yikes, I don't envy Guzan trying to see this ball...

 

[Fry]

Pretty crazy that Ronaldo never won the Champions League.

He won the world cup twice though.

 

[Regulus Tera]

He won the world cup twice though.

1994 doesn't count, he was on the bench. This is like saying Pepe Reina is a World Champion.

 

[xintin]

game getting stopped.

 

[Sloosha]

Wow.

 

[jtb]

He won the world cup twice though.

I know (well, I don't think he played a single minute in 94... so I'm not sure if that counts. One world cup is still ridiculously impressive though), it's just sad more than anything. Missed out on a winner's medal with Milan because he was cup-tied

HE WON THE WORLD CUP IN 1994 DUDE

Shows 490 at the bottom when you include the cups, etc.

 

[Regulus Tera]

game getting stopped.

I don't know if the Costa Rican federation should be happy or angry about this.

 

[xintin]

I don't know if the Costa Rican federation should be happy or angry about this.

players on both sides don't look to thrilled with it.
edit - what in the fuck was the point of stopping? fuck off match commissioner.

 

[arkon]

Denilson was the master of the unnecessary stepover.

I was going to mention Cronaldo for that, especially in the early days of his United career.

 

[jtb]

That includes national team games, I think? Assuming we're looking at the same table.

edit: game called off? on one hand, obviously USA better equipped for the snow but on the other... already got fucked out of one penalty decision. It's for the best either way.

edit2: or not....

 

[sazabirules]

Game on!

 

[Scum]

Pretty crazy that Ronaldo never won the Champions League.

You kids these days.

 

[pulga]

Lolololol omg poor ticos jajajajaj

 

[Sloosha]

That was a bit of a mess.

 

[Regulus Tera]

And Panama ties Jamaica at Kingston.

Thank you, Panama, for avenging your Mexican big brothers.

 

[Fry]

He was still amazing even if clearly not fit.

This is what he did in his debut game for Corinthians against their biggest rival:
