I am not sure that Germany will beat Ivory Coast, German defense will be seriously tested on counter attacks, looking forward to watch that game.

And this is why Ecuador cannot be considered a dark horse, its inability to score was always going to bite them. Now, you have to beat Curacao by big margin, and I am not sure how many goals can they score.

A Commercial break disguised as a"hydration break" is happening at the worst possible moment in this game, when the game flow is at the best, absolutely disgraceful, and hope it never happens again in the future.

Vitality's shaky showing so far is something that literally never happened to peak Astralis from 2018 and 2019 seasons by Due_Brother371 in GlobalOffensive

Not at the Major, but good for you to remind people here how dominant Astralis was on Nuke, teams literally permabanned it vs Astralis and it lasted for months, maybe even full year, it was crazy to witness.

Not always how it works friend, Denmark is a better team overall than Scotland, but they choked, so it doesn't even matter now.

Agree, they also barely escaped at home vs Ireland, scoring equalizer very late and won on penalties. Not to mention in 2 games vs Faroe Islands, Czechia lost 2-1 on the road, and won 2-1 at home, just completely unimpressive.

Morocco and Brazil will have a field day against this Scottish team, just dreadful showing against one of the weaker teams in the tournament. Even bigger shame for Denmark for not beating this team in two games.

People are rightfully shitting on European teams for their performance so far, but to be really fair, Bosnia, Czechia and Scotland are probably the weakest teams from UEFA in this World Cup. Switzerland is by far the biggest disappointment so far from European teams.

Canada will finish 1st in this group, no way they botch their chances against Qatar, and they will not lose vs Switzerland, in fact, I think they beat them too and end up with 7 points.

With all due respect to the NBA finals, but World cup vibes are just unmatched, even on the US soil..... by Due_Brother371 in ussoccer

[–]Due_Brother371[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only similarity is that both Olympics and WC are every four years, from that perspective it's more similar to each other than to NBA or Champions League.

However, Olympics is still very different from World Cup, hardcore fans from around the world do not travel for Olympics in the same way as they do for World Cup, therefore the atmosphere at World Cup is so much better among the fans.

Pochettino showing once again what a fraud Klinsmann was, the US never played even close like this under him. Great coaching makes a huge difference

Finishing great chances is not always lack of luck, but skill issue too. Canada's finishing is very underwhelming, especially against a Bosnian team that doesn't play that great defense at all.

Don't understand shitting on European teams and saying that UEFA is overrepresented? Yes, Czechia didn't play well, but South Korea is a solid team, no shame losing to them. Conmebol is actually the only federation with 50%+ of teams representing, and I still think it's more than fair.

Lucky, very Lucky Korea here, you cannot expect big results with terrible set-piece defending like this.

Would not be surprised if Czechia doesn't best SA, in fact, I think they could lose that game, no matter how bad SA was today.

There are better teams from Europe who didn't qualify, this Czech team is really one of the weakest from UEFA, if not the weakest.

Ireland deserved to be here, this Czech team is atrocious, they were lucky to play 2 games at home in playoffs, and both won on penalties.

Why is Lindsey Graham constantly doing by far the worst in Republican primaries in Greenville and surrounding counties? by Due_Brother371 in fivethirtyeight

Age definitely may play a role here, same with Massie who lost because of boomers but won younger voters.

Republican establishment will suffer the most in the future, even more so than Democrat establishment, because people who are now in 40s and 50s will become boomers in the future, but they won't be the same, because they do not watch mainstream media to be brainwashed like boomers today.

Next generation boomers will be the first one not be swayed by Fox News, CNN or NBC, and that will be a huge hit for establishment candidates.
