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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
