Well that was a very French fall.
There's a reason Pogba is worth like a bazillion dollars. Pretty goal.JJxvi said:
French central midfield is soooo damn good, if they actually try to press.

And somehow our JV team drew with them.
I thought I might be able to get through the day without hating Sunil, Jurgen, and Bruce, but... nope.
Yet, they beat Australia 2-1 and are holding on 1-0 against Peru. Color me unimpressed.gambochaman said:

OK. So, with that, honest question: is anyone impressing you at this World Cup?AustinAg2012 said:Yet, they beat Australia 2-1 and are holding on 1-0 against Peru. Color me unimpressed.gambochaman said:

Chiming in, there really haven't been a lot of terribly impressive teams, the ones I've been the most impressed with are smaller sides that have found results or gotten really close (like Peru).TXAggie2011 said:OK.

The correct answer here is Belgium, Croatia, and Russia (!). Possibly Mexico but we need another game from both them and Germany to put that one into context.TXAggie2011 said:OK.

It may be slightly unfair based on their first two matches, but I still want to see another game from Russia. Feels like the home team got their pick of the groupsBryan98 said:The correct answer here is Belgium, Croatia, and Russia (!).

I agree with all of this. I'm just saying that Russia has been impressive. They were thought to be terrible, and they have annihilated their opponents.bagger05 said:
Yeah, on the one hand eight goals is impressive. On the other hand five of those goals came against possibly THE weakest team in the tournament. And the game against Uruguay is meaningless so we might not know much until we get to the knockout. Will be facing either Portugal or Spain. Should be awesome.

Good, hope it stays that way.gambochaman said:
Peru finally get one
with them scoring, now Costa Rica is the only team without a goal in this world cup
wonder if thats going to result in our first 0-0 tie of the WC nowJJxvi said:
Denmark now has a 3 goal cushion then
