Well....teams cancel each other out and goals are rarer than hen’s teeth


Anyways Argentina’s team is the worst since 1970 the last time they did not qualify...

Maybe now people will finally stop selling Russia short.  They have been by far the best team against Arab competition in the tournament.

because so far they haven't faced a real threat?  KSA is KSA, and egypt has been forgettable ever since they qualified.  russia took care of two teams that they should have been able to take care of.  no surprises here.

They have been by far the best team against Arab competition in the tournament.

not sure what you're getting at here... other than intra-arab competition (iran-morocco), the only other team to face an arab competitor has been england (who, like every other recent WC, have come in way overhyped).

Shame about morroco and that self inflicted loss to Iran
as they are playing well against Portugal

Although they really can't seem to capitalize on all the corners and penalty kicks

That was one serious dive by ronaldo in the 83 min, glad he didn't get a goal out of that

Stop day drinking.  It ruins your sarcasm meter....

other than intra-arab competition (iran-morocco),

Iran is not an Arab nation.  They're Persian...

So Chrome offered me the option to translate my Telemundo feed
I'm amazed how well it does, especaily in the Flash frame?

but I like what it translated Match time into
