Deuce

I mean yeah that is the difference

Well, yeah. Ferreira scored 18 for FC Dallas.

Let’s give ‘em the ol’ dick twist

Haji Wright replaces Sargent, but other 10 unchanged. Wright’s a more traditional #9.

By a long shot.

Netherlands depth at CB is absurd.

Ecuador-Senegal shaping up to be tasty affair.

Senegal goal

Qatar keeper is the Darwin of keepers

Nah, Arif was looking to draw that. Good call.

I missed Lamptey and Iñaki turning up for Ghana

Realized that Hervé Renard is the Saudi manager. Wild career he’s had.

7 minutes

Darwin is pure chaos. If it ever clicks for him he’s going to be really good. Either way he’s wildly entertaining.

Entertaining match this

over a very short distance, with a considerable head start.

He’s younger than me and I’m a disgusting mess, and I bet I could outrun him at this point.

I had assumed Belgium was riddled with 35-year olds given that they’ve had roughly the same team for what feels like a decade. Beyond Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Witsel, and Mertens, you could see the rest of them again in four years (rightly or wrongly).

Philly’s academy is the probably the top talent incubator amongst the MLS clubs. Aaronson is the big success story, his younger brother just signed for Frankfurt, McKenzie at Genk, de Vries at Venezia, and the senior side includes the likes of McGlynn, Sullivan, Craig, and Sorenson who could all get moves to Europe in the next season or two. edit: forgot about Dallas. They’ve churned out a bunch of decent players as well.

Creased at the little camera inside the bucket

Wonder why Larin didn’t start

With 82% possession no less

Love that ol’ Atiba finally gets a WC appearance.

Oh my. My oh my. This Costa Rica team is the weakest in years, but christ on a bike.
