He got called for that handball because you can't have your arm extended from your torso - if you do and the ball hits it, they call it a handball 99.9% of the time. It was bad luck for Spain; they did carry the play today. However, you have to put the ball in the net. All credit to Russia for hanging in long enough to gut out the win. But do you really get any fear from them? They only scored a goal because of a lucky call. They wont beat Croatia. No way. And England will smash all of them.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Filthy Brazil team. Bunch of hacks. Yellow cards served to them but when one of them are simply touched they act like they got hit with a sledge hammer. They should watch a hockey game and see how tough those guys are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent-wise, I agree; Russia is not fearsome, but they have an overwhelming advantage in any stadium during this tournament. I also think that Croatia will beat them. And I hope that England gets past both Colombia and (hopefully) Croatia - neither match-up is a pushover though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Don't do it. Seppuku, sometimes referred to as harakiri, is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. It was originally reserved for samurai, but was also practiced by other Japanese people later on to restore honor for themselves or for their family.

Showed their talent and grit. England playing well so far but I sure would feel better with the lead. Lets hope they score soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting ready to post the matchups. But I am sure most of you know. So by all means, feel free to do so. 5 points per win i think is fair the way we have gone. Those that picked Germany cannot get the big points of 25. I know there are 2 for France, 1 for Russia at least (crazy IMO), 1 for Belgium (very good pick) and my pick is England )fabulous!!!!

LedZeppfan1977 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well I am not afraid of Sweden nor are the odds makers in Vegas who have England a heavier favorite to win this match than the Columbian match. So what are you afraid of? Sweden might be a bit tougher on defense than Columbia but they are not as good offensively IMO. England should be a confident bunch after surviving that nightmare. Columbia tying it with a minute left and then England never lost their composure. They were down in PK's with two kicks left. Usually that means you can pack your bags. But Pickford rose to the occasion. Made a save that will go down in English soccer lore. A masterpiece. A save England will never forget. I am a bit disappointed they did not use my boy Vardy in the PK's. I mean, why not for Gods sake? Vardy is as good a striker there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
