Is that a Boddington?  I may crack a Guinness Stout tomorrow.  I am the only asshole that took Argentina?  All this love for France?  I just do not get it.  'I am going to take you bitch's down!!!!

It's Shiner Bock (a Texas beer )...I do love me some boddington though!

I know I'm not in this contest but I'm going for Argentina and Portugal today.

That looks beautiful! I know I'm not in it, but if I was, Rick, I'd be tempted to join you and Dallas!  Man!

Best wishes to all!

This sport played on the world stage, and day drinking is a match made in heaven! 

In moderation of course 😎   🍻⚽️🍻

Two yellows in one game gets a red card, two yellows in different games gets a suspension in the next game. All accumulated cards are reset for the semi finals for the teams that get there..

Thanks.  Think I have it.  Well this sucks.  Argentina is on the way out.  Not that I care about that, but I lost 3 points.  LOL.  France has speed.  And that was a great shot by that striker. But I still believe in England.  They look like a contender on hte other side. Argentina just scored!!!!  Come on baby

Not sure about this game ending so fast after all that?  I have seen games in this tournament with far more stoppage time awarded.

I've noticed that whatever time is added on the ref has been adding another minute as just happened in France's win.

So glad the TV camera crew did not give the fat coke head cheat any screen time, bet he's bawling his eyes out (Boohoo). Bye bye Argentina, don't forget to close the door on your way out.

Fuck off Argentina and Maradonna kebab too adios

I think this afternoon's game could go to PK's?   I took Uruguay but am not confident at all.  I think Belgium will hammer Japan.  I mean it might be ugly.  Like 6-1 or something.  Its a mismatch.  I think England should handle Columbia. And Spain should handle Russia but the home crowd will be huge in Russia's favor.  And Spain is not the Spain that won the cup but are still pretty darn good.  The rest of the games to me are crap shoots.  Many probably believe Brazil is superior to Mexico.  And I can understand that.  But Mexico can be great when they play smart.  Most are picking Croatia.  I went out on a limb and took Denmark.  I like hat I have seen from Denmark

Spain vs. Russia

Croatia vs. Denmark

 

Monday, July 2

Brazil vs. Mexico

Belgium vs. Japan

 

Tuesday, July 3

Sweden vs. Switzerland
Colombia vs. England

 

(My picks underlined and boldfaced.)

Sorry for the delay.

That is fine.  Your in.  I cant believe the rule in this sport.  The ball hits the fucking back of the arm of the Spain player and they give Russia a free fucking goal!!!!!!  That is bullshit

The ball was goal bound Rick.  Pique had his arm above head, that's a clear penalty.

Russia sucks my cock.  They should be down 4-1 in this game.  Spain has had complete possession.  What a joke.

And is there not supposed to be "intent" on a hand ball?  There was no intent there.  Just bad luck

First, thanks for taking my belated entry.

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.

I'm really not a soccer fan, but today I watched the end of the Croatia/Denmark game with some friends visiting from New York. Stopping a shoot-out kick is a matter of pure luck. What a beautiful country Croatia is.
