  1. To be fair if I missed a pen at the World Cup I’d probably just walk off the pitch and jump into the ocean
  2. This World Cup. We have 60% possession every game, no shots on goal, and the other side scores whenever they hit any kind of diagonal forward ball.
  3. As of the last five years or so for Korea and probably a bit longer for Japan, I feel like both countries have put in place a steady production line of decent-ish players coming out of the youth levels. A lot of them stay in Asia because it's not worth it to leave the comforts of home to sit on the bench, but most of the NT-level players could do a job for lower-tier squads in Europe. Not relying on one-off outliers like Park and Son to carry a bunch of dross anymore. Son is basically a shell of himself this WC and we look about as good as we have in the last decade or so. Results just aren't going our way.
  4. Knocked out in successive World Cups by South Korea and Japan
  5. We're not supposed to play them in games that mean anything. AFC were risking war there.
  6. I don't even know if this guy is good or not but he's definitely the most punchable footballer I've seen in a while.
  7. Fuck, panned to their bench storming the pitch just before I hit Alt+F4.
  8. Even just the Asian Cup semi final against them was the closest I've ever been to having a heart attack because of sports.
  9. It won't happen. It can't happen. I'd rather we just lose before that.
  10. How have they not even gotten a set piece or something for a half hour.
  11. Need to turn it off before the Japanese fans start celebrating. My eyes won't survive it.
  12. This is not going to happen, but if results hold here, we beat Portugal and advance tomorrow, Japan beats Croatia, and then we beat Brazil... I am going to die watching that game one way or another.
  13. Germans and Japanese advancing together. Something about that feels oddly familiar.
  14. Portugal better be resting their best players tomorrow. No idea who those players are, but they better be.
  15. Was at peace with us going out tomorrow. Now I want to puke.
