Is it my 64 year old eyes, or is that pitch that Mexico and Portugal are playing on smaller than regulation?

AYSO level play by Salcedo

Regulation is actually a range, so it's possible it's on the small end

The Mexican back line is so worried about CR7 they are leaving other players totally unmarked. If they kee that up it will get ugly.

Chicharron!!!

Both of these back lines...woof

Chicharito!

Why? It was a quick review. Correct call was made.

Don't care. It completely jacks up the flow of the game. They still haven't showed a replay in real time. Did the offside players take part in the play?

I just don't like it. If you are going to use it, use it for everything. I like the adversity of dealing with humans with all their blessings and faults. I don't necessarily care about results so much as I care about the drama soccer brings. When you face adversity you must rise up to overcome it.

Replay won't solve issues the way people think it will. They will eff it up at some point. And then what? More oversight? At what cost?

I get it and I understand why people want replay. I just don't care for it in any sport. Just like I think the DH sucks.

Wtf was that defending from Raphael?

The guy who headed back to CR7 for his volley shot was one of those in an offside position.

Looks like the width is 78 yds. That's about the most common pro width and right in line with FIFA standards.

CHICHA

RITO!

And just as I post that, he blows a wide open shot and kicks it into the stands

That's the Chicharito that ManU fans love to hate. 13 yds out and sends it into row QQ.

All I know is that after this and yesterday, I'll be watching UK streams of the World Cup. I'm not watching 64 matches of this high school level of commentary.

It had a late bounce, so it's alright.

Maybe the way the stadium itself is built around it makes the pitch look smaller. My bad.

Not saying the Russkies don't know how to build things, but...just staying is all.

Kicking it in to row Z is acceptable to Mexican fans? That's odd...

He's won 2 free kicks in front of goal, created his own chances, and scored a goal. Good half by CH14

I see that now that they showed the replay. Wth was the asst. ref looking at?

Don't worry, I fully expect Pepe to squash the little peanut. Literally. Pepe will injure him or someone else severely and then act like he didn't do it because he is a huge tool

He was teammmates with little pea. He'll prob murder Chucky Lozano tho

Osorio gonna' Osorio, takes out Vela

CH14.

This looks like the Portugal team that couldn't win a game in regulation in Euro2016 until the finals.

Can't stand this Mexican side. Dirty as hell, flopping everywhere and got away with another dirty elbow.

Yep, I freakin' hate Mexico, for all the reasons you state above, and one of the trashiest fan bases in international sport. F' em. I'll root against them every time they play.

That's a tactical yellow. Good call.

Mexico playing with 10, gio is invisible

OCHOA

What a save.

Well, it was.

Well *****
