Canada will tie this up.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Canada should had beat Belgium and the game should be tied (or Canada winning this match). The team has good offence trying to spark a forward attack. While some teams pass it around a lot even to their own goalie (the US team vs England must had passed it to their goalie 10 times).

They seem to have lapses in defence.

They're like a run and gun hockey team. Fun to watch as it's both flashy and sloppy.

Edit: Yup, bad defence. Down 3-1. There were twice as many black shirts to defend yet one of the white shirts was left open to score.

 

[MadAnon]

Canada's defense is something else. Just laughable.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Hrvatska!

 

[Nemesisuuu]

 

[MadAnon]

Lmao! Every croat player open there.

 

[12Goblins]

Canada defense is just spectators

 

[12Goblins]

Croatia not even trying

 

[Nemesisuuu]

What's this all aboot?

[Agent_Nobody]

Canada’s defence just looked lost out there. The almost own goal at the end just topped it off.

 

[newtypepilot]

man, canada has a lot to work on defense

 

[as1m]

The one thing I noticed from watching these games is the players constantly falling over. It seems like every minute one of them is rolling on the ground holding their knee after being tapped on the shoulder. I don't get it. Ain't these guys supposed to be top athletes?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Canada d-man #4 screwed up on both those goals posted above.

 

[dr_octagon]

How can throwing an egg around with your hands while dressed in body armour be called football for fucks sake?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Let's get it Spain. Sorry Germany. I'm not mad if either wins though.

Or for my fellow Germans -

Lasst uns gehen, meine Gefährten von Hündinnen!

We just do it to annoy you geeks

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

It's been 20 minutes of spanish pressure but it seems the kartoffensalad team is changing the game and putting pressure on spain.

 

[Just_one]

This might be the first GREAT game this world cup.

Spain is just so goddamn good and smooth,they will probably win this year

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Whoa, Croatia came correct.

[The Fartist]

Seriously, every thread about the game, some micro-cheese-dick weenie has to bring it up.

 

[BadBurger]

Soccer.

*Frantically stuffs 50' USA flag into his pants to hide it*

*whispers* - read the room, John

 

[Insane Metal]

This game is the best so far as expected. Damn, Spain's game is just so rounded. Love their passes.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Tight game. Both teams had chances

 

[Winter John]

I don’t know why we call it football. My theory is that whoever developed our version of it had some kind of grudge against the euro‘s football, and just wanted to fuck with them

What I heard, and this is probably wrong but I've never bothered to look it up because some of life's mysteries should remain unknown, is that at the time in the US all of the most popular highly-mobile sports involved horses - like polo, horse racing, dressage, etc. This sport was the first that involved the players running about on foot.

Baseball did come first, but it was named baseball because it primarily involved the "capture" of bases.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

2nd half about to begin

Btw I think it's a luxury to get a finals-level quality match this early.
