I'd say they were more than tough calls. More like bullshit to make sure the media darlings go through easier. South Africa got hosed, plain and simple, especially when they drove the dagger in with that second yellow. I guess the player is supposed to pull their leg back while falling backwards and the Spanish team is running in for contact. Apparently, SA missed the memo on that one.

Yeah I pretty much agree.  England and Brazil were impressive today.

My wife actually watched the US vs Thailand match today with me, and wholly shet that was crazy.  Goal, goal, goal, goal...fuggin nuts.  I loved it but felt for the Thai players.  USWNT should be making MORE than the men.  They are 100 times more entertaining.

The US was amazingly sharp but could have scored at least 5 more goals.  Crazy.

Germany only has two goals in two games...but two wins.  Works for me
US took a much different route

This World Cup is going a lot better for me than last years. =)

The World Cup women or mens is so fuggin awesome.  Germany is definately one of the favorites.  France was pushed yesterday bigtime.  Interesting penalty call too.  Hmm.

Copa (and Gold Cup I guess) start this week too.  Soccer orgy!!!

As much as I love WC, my favorite years was ‘16 when Euro and Copa were going on all day.  Of course Euro 16 sucked but still.

Berhalter is already on the hot seat.  If they bomb the Gold Cup he could be gone.

What's everyone's take on the goal celebrations and the controversy surrounding it?

I found them to be over the top and a bit of a turn off. 

I 100% support their attempts to convince scoring though.  If GD was not a thing then I would feel differently but if that is going to be apart of it then you have to keep scoring.

I'm on the fence about it. If it's a person's first world cup goal, then celebrate the hell out of it...you've earned that right. If it's a goal to beat a record or even tie one, celebrate it. If it's your 100+ international goal (in other words, you've been here before), then celebrate but don't go over the top with it.

I guess it mostly doesn't bother me. Hell, I wouldn't have thought anything of it if the public hasn't made it a thing.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It can happen but it’s nothing like the NBA. One player doesn’t make the difference in the NFL that one player can in the NBA. Also, there are just not the same amount of trades and even opportunities. Because the NFL isn’t just one stud away, you don’t get a lot of opportunities like Miami did with Tua or the Jets did with Zach Wilson. Both teams got multiple 1sts for players they traded (Jets had 5 1sts in 2021-2022 and Miami had 5 1sts in 2020-2021) and both got top 5 picks to select a QB. They both made some good and bad picks but Miami turned Tua into multiple playoff appearances even though Tua isn’t elite. Wilson was just so bad that the Jets still sucked. We had our opportunity in 2022 where we would have had 6 1sts and 4 2nds in 2023-2025 and probably had a top 5 pick in 2023 or 2024 for a QB without trading up. Unfortunately, Fitterer didn’t have the foresight to realize a full rebuild was necessary and when a team offers you 2 1sts and a 2nd for a non-QB like Tunsil and Burns, you take it. One thing I wish trades had in the NFL that they have in the NBA is protected picks. A moron like Fitterer could have a top 5 protected pick so his terrible GMing doesn’t accidentally give the Bears the #1 overall pick because the moron Fitterer incorrectly thought we were 1 player away from the playoffs.

      Anyone that believes getting a couple late season wins to end the season at 4-13 while picking 9th in each round, other than 2-15 with the 1st pick in each round is not being realistic.  It happens nearly every other year, Jags gave the browns a insane package to move from 2nd to 5th. If not for late season pointless/everyone forgets late season wins the Panthers would have gotten that franchise changing package. Not to mention Panthers would have had Herbo and Sewell in other years, but nope. Do I need to bring up da bears??? The goal is long term winning in order to make the playoffs, one season to tank could spark it with a Burrow that's gets sacked 60 times on the way to a SB.  I want to win as bad as anyone, but the second the Panthers are eliminated from playoff contention, the ONLY solution is to lose the remaining games to gain a better chance to never do that again. No other answer.
