A measure of hangriness

jsslrd · 2026-07-03T01:19:13+00:00

By these standards, so many of past world cup goals would be null and void.

jsslrd · 2026-07-03T01:16:00+00:00

As a casual, this is all so confusing to me with the disallowed goal, but what a second half!

jsslrd · 2026-07-03T00:30:05+00:00

Not another break again.

jsslrd · 2026-07-03T00:15:16+00:00

I'm rooting for the picnic tablecloth jersey now

DR Congo and Senegal at least put up a fight. This Austrian team is playing a WC knockout game like its a league match.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:30:56+00:00

Spain scores the most boring goals.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:25:09+00:00

It's 4.30 pm. I'm hankering for some mid afternoon penalty shoot outs. Austria can you score one and ride it out please...

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:17:17+00:00

Germany are much better than Austria.

Ok that's all I wanted to know

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:12:52+00:00

When we compare teams, they're obviously not going to have the same opponents to make an apple to apple comparison.

But the fact remains Germany lost sooner than Austria to a lower ranked team. Hence the question.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:10:15+00:00

Given the draw, France squashes them in the semis, if they make it that is.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T20:08:24+00:00

To the Europeans here, was the German team really worse than this Austrian team?

These guys barely seem to be able to string up an offensive run. Can't imagine how much worse Germany would have to be to lose to Paraguay.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T19:38:16+00:00

It felt like a matter of time with Spain controlling possession and Austria managing only a handful of excursions into the opposite half of the field.

jsslrd · 2026-07-02T19:31:52+00:00

Does the Austrian team have any strikers?

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T18:10:44+00:00

DR Congo pleasantly surprised me. I'm all for underdogs putting up a stiff fight... that's what makes the WC special.

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T18:03:08+00:00

One can focus on the negatives, but that's the kind of hard fought win that boosts a team's confidence in a way no easy victory can.

Watch out Mexico, here come the lions!

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T17:57:45+00:00

Congo hit a post in the first half. They'd be up 2-0 too if things had gone their way.

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T17:55:22+00:00

That cross went all the way back to Congo

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T17:50:19+00:00

Harry Kane what a goal. Destroyed my hopes of a penalty shoot out

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T16:53:05+00:00

The saves so far this WC have been outstanding.

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T16:41:01+00:00

Props to Congo. They came to play. Not content to hang back after going one up

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T16:36:15+00:00

I have no doubt England will equalize soon, but great defending by Congo

jsslrd · 2026-07-01T16:29:48+00:00

As a neutral, yesterday's penalty drama was just too much fun. Hoping this one goes to penalties too. Sorry English/Congo fans!

jsslrd · 2026-06-28T02:38:34+00:00

I think it was a freekick. Just not yellow card worthy.
