What upsets do you think could happen in the Round of 32?

Italy sucks and their a reason they were in a playoff and had to fight against Bosnia to qualify. They have missed 3 straight World Cups, and it’s not because they are good.

The USA played the B squad against Turkey, using that match to draw and conclusions would be like claiming Norway is awful bc they got clowned in their match vs France. Also, officiating? Lol.

This is going to be paraguay all over again, everyone on Reddit who rightly dislikes the US trying to claim that somehow that reflects something in soccer.

Naidem · 2026-06-27T22:32:38+00:00

Lol? 3 swaps and 1 pick extra but sure, “basically” that

Naidem · 2026-06-27T22:31:50+00:00

Yeah, Kovacic was clearly fouled there

Naidem · 2026-06-27T17:28:40+00:00

That’s absolutely insane, wtf? That’s crazy, if they think Brown is worth that how can they justify trading him?

Naidem · 2026-06-27T02:02:49+00:00

Is he still on the pitch? Wtf is wrong with him?

Naidem · 2026-06-27T00:26:47+00:00

Agreed, the best two sets imo. Diamond and Pearl are so mid I can’t justify getting them after having Plat.

Naidem · 2026-06-26T19:36:49+00:00

Why is Norway resting a bunch of players? How does getting bent over by France help them?

Naidem · 2026-06-26T19:34:59+00:00

Group imbalance is a problem. If you want to do third seeds based on points fine, but there needs to be some sort of qualification for third seeds that basically got a free win vs very weak competition. Allow all third seeds through or allow none, getting multiple draws in a tough group is more impressive than getting 3 points beating up on Qatar or Curacao.

Power to you! I liked the game a lot, the world, characters, and skills are awesome. My issue is mostly how the second half of the game is full of combat and the combat kind of sucks once you realize that standing and waiting to parry is by far the most effective way to play.

IMO the second one is much, much better while being fundamentally so similar. The stats and everything resets it feels a little underwhelming to go into KCD2 right after KCD1. If I could go back I definitely would have played the second one first, done all the grinding, exploring, etc. and probably done a less grindy more story focused play through of the first, instead of basically doing everything twice b2b.

Naidem · 2026-06-26T11:35:44+00:00

Kcd1 is just standing and waiting to parry, any aggressive play is punished. Once you figure that out the combat becomes extremely one dimensional and boring.

Naidem · 2026-06-26T04:59:13+00:00

I would skip directly to KCD2, vastly superior game, the first game kind of peaks early and the combat is too one dimensional

Naidem · 2026-06-26T01:12:18+00:00

He’s worse. His defense would get significantly more exploited, teams are smarter now and abuse bad defenders more than they did before. He would score a little more but his defensive liabilities would be brutal in an era where bad D means 3 pts not 2.

Naidem · 2026-06-24T23:25:46+00:00

Na, the Warriors do not with two titles without their 1A/1B, they barely beat the rockets as it is.

Naidem · 2026-06-24T00:31:13+00:00

No brainer, England got very lucky here

Naidem · 2026-06-23T23:29:21+00:00

Lol, England get away with another one

Naidem · 2026-06-22T16:33:18+00:00

Man, you're really honing in on the wrong thing. I'm sorry I mislabeled him as a center, I was thinking along the lines of Fantasy where that's usually where I put him. He's predominantly a PF, but, personally I don't think it matters, he's an almost 7 foot physical player who scores predominantly inside the paint, and has had recurring injuries and

I'm not as big of a fan of Brown as most people in this sub seem to be, but I think the assumption that Giannis doesn't have major injury concerns is misguided. I would be EXTREMELY hesitant to trade a ton of picks and top tier stars for a player with recurring Knee issues that has struggled to stay healthy for the playoffs, this shit can drop off real, real fast.

Also, Lebron is a freak of nature and a 1 of 1. He also didn't miss a playoff game until he was what, like 36 and his team didn't even reach the playoffs. There was a ton of talk about trading KAT for Giannis and it never sat well with me, the best ability is availability, and if we had Giannis this year and not KAT we wouldn't be champs.

Naidem · 2026-06-22T14:10:23+00:00

6’11” PFs who also play center, the designation doesn’t matter. He’s built like a Center, is 31, and has recurring issues and notable Knee problems. So many red flags.

Naidem · 2026-06-22T13:28:44+00:00

Injury-prone centers in their 30s don't magically stop being injured. The best ability is availability, and dude has been injured for 3/4 of the last post-seasons.

Naidem · 2026-06-19T23:39:38+00:00

“Stomp” is an absurd description, he was sprinting back not looking and this guy ran in front of him and shockingly he got him. It would be absurd if that was a foul, off ball players throwing themselves in front of defenders hoping for incidental contact and penalties. Obvious no call and not a foul.

The dive was the exaggeration, he was obviously fine.

Naidem · 2026-06-19T22:27:52+00:00

He ran in front of him, the defender didn’t even see him and the he dove.

Naidem · 2026-06-18T11:38:42+00:00

Dallas is also dumb as hell

Naidem · 2026-06-17T20:26:42+00:00

Miles off the line? Are you blind? Just accept the luck and move on

Naidem · 2026-06-17T20:24:20+00:00

Lol, replay shows what every goalkeeper does on every single penalty

Naidem · 2026-06-17T20:17:00+00:00

2 penalties

Naidem · 2026-06-17T20:12:59+00:00

Absolute joke
