It's the xG *on target* bit that makes it a disingenuous stat. There were a few very close calls off frame.

Apparently Jordan Henderson is at a hospital in Mexico City tonight. How do you hurt yourself that badly hopping over an advertising board?

Cool to see everyone being helpful to Annie in this thread.

I've enjoyed it. I really truly am not that interested in soccer normally but with all the hype the last few weeks not only with the social media stuff but some of the games have actually been very interesting. I just don't understand some of the rules. The clock going up is still weird to me.

I do appreciate it, everyone.


The clock goes up because it's not over at 45' or 90'. That's where stoppage time comes in. If you start at 45 and count down to 0:00 then it looks like it's over. Unless it's a pro game there isn't even a visible clock. It's all on the Referee's watch.

Counting down to 0:00 is exactly how HS soccer works. The rules there do stop the clock for certain things (cards, injuries needing trainers, goals) and when it hits 0:00 the half or game is over. There is no stoppage in HS soccer.


You know that actually makes sense. I mean, if they're adding time, I guess they could do it on either end but it sort of makes sense that you just keep extending it upwards. The timeouts and things just don't play out the same way we do in our football.
If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me.

never brace from a fall by extending ones wrist!

Broke my wrist playing soccer that way. Jackwagon pushed me from behind and i did just that. I did play the rest of the game though. Makes me laugh thinking about all the dives I see the pros take. In contrast, I got right up after I broke it.

It looked like a bad break when he did. Probably needed to have surgery and it was already super late there

Might work out for the best. The Oneders lost their drummer to a similar injury. New drummer, new name, #1 hit record.

Sucks for Henderson but he never should have been on the roster to begin with as a player

Mexico's fans are basically LSU but with better language skills....

They dress better and have more teeth.

I watched that video several times now, and can't figure out how a professional athlete could botch a simple move/leap like that.

This makes my blood boil no matter who is doing it. Those people should be arrested. That's basically assault as it can cause serious eye damage.

They are the worst.

Continuing to yell slurs, throwing crap at opposing players, trashing every stadium they attend, urine bags, etc etc

Last night, when they scored their first goal, you could see them hurling trash/drinks into the sections with England fans. There are a lot of videos posted of them threatening English fans at the end of the game, because their team lost (edit: many, like the one posted above).

You look at all the other fan bases, and host sites....and no one compares to the trash that is the Mexican soccer fan.

I'll never root for El Tri.

If we do bid for 2038, which it sounds like we are going to, I hope Mexico is left out of the equation. Would be funny if the US and Canada put in a bid without them.

This is not substantiated so could be hot air. But if true good grief FIFA is nuts. That was 100% a red card.
