I would strongly consider reproducing or retransmitting game footage without the express prior permission of the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Soccer, and/or Major League Baseball.

That's how mad I would be.


Would you only apologize for not apologizing?

It helps to have a GK who is 6 foot 29 inches tall

Thought that had a chance, but Courtois had that covered like Waffle House hash browns.

There hasn't been a SFP red card at a WC in something like 16 years.

The next 3 plus whatever are going to be nasty.

It's been a long time since I've seen a team live in the final third like this and yet come away empty-handed. Canada just can't finish.

Belgium doesn't look deserving of the #2 world ranking.

This is the first match that I honestly thought was under stoppage time. There were all the subs plus cards plus an injury. In the world before the WC I would have said +5. I fully expected to see +8 or more. They got +5.

Agreed. Canada showed out. They have a good team.

Straight up is offside. Straight up with a wiggle is a foul.

This is the referee that stoped a match at 85 minutes. Then again at exactly 90.

The from behind, shoulder grab, two leg tackle- yeah that one - but this ref was clueless so there is that

To be fair he was suffering from heat exhaustion at the time.

Supposedly the on field extra time is being counted by the 4th official and any time for VAR stoppages are being counted by that group. The 4O puts the number up without input from the Referee

Supposedly. But as soon as the announced where he was from it was obvious he was going to be over his head.

And you're right about the 4th.

I do wonder if MLS guys have fresher legs since they haven't been in league play for a few weeks. Ecuador also looked good. Both had guys flying around the field.

I think Canadas good coordination and tactics are due to the fact that the MLS season ended a while ago and those players had a longer opportunity to get together and build chemistry. We will see if it pays off throughout the rest of the tournament. Crazy that they haven't scored a WC goal in their history.

Morocco goal disallowed. Clearly offsides.

Belgium continues to dodge bullets.

It seems like the AR's are blowing a lot of fairly obvious offsides calls.

The one goal where a little bit of a guy's leg was offsides that VAR called was invisible to the naked eye (and shouldn't have been called, IMO), but this is the second one in the last 2-3 days that was pretty clear.

ARs aren't blowing calls, they're calling offside as they've been instructed to do. Keep the flag down on close calls and let VAR sort it out.

I guess that makes sense, but if you want to make casual fans really, really hate replay, this is the way to do it.

Oh, it definitely sucks. They've been doing it this way in the EPL and a couple other leagues for a season or two now. After every goal, the players have to basically get a go-ahead from someone to really celebrate because VAR is looming.
