Henderson got a yellow card and suffered a ‘quite serious’ wrist injury in a game he didn’t play in*
Posted by OB25
|
Here’s the video
Posted by assassin
|
Bellingham was absolutely amazing*
Posted by Mrap24
|
MoTM, but Pickford was nails too. Deserves credit for setting up the second half pen*
Posted by Blazer
|
One of the best performances of the tournament*
Posted by PapaDels
|
The day after this tournament ends is going to be depressing*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Harry Kane's voice is shot...
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
I wonder how he felt about being subbed out at the time*
Posted by Potomac
|
Kane’s voice lulz *
Posted by MC
|
That was hilarious *
Posted by assassin
|
Only Spain Portugal up next, NBD*

|
There were ten urine bombers in the air...

Wonderwall just isn’t as cool as the Viking row *

Lulz
Posted by OB25
|
LOL. F Mexico!
Posted by illinijohn
|
Can’t believe England was able to cling to life for 30 minutes. Unreal effort*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Absolutely agree*
Posted by PapaDels
|
That was an absolute clinic on how to do it. Mexico had no ideas except launch. *
Posted by assassin
|
Incredible match *
Posted by MC
|
Fun. Ok…let’s go USA!!*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Whew*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Bellingham looks like kendall gills kid*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
How do you just roll off the pitch there? Leg gotta be amputated
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Looked like a full on high ankle sprain in slow motion *
Posted by assassin
|
Yeah looked bad. Could barely get off the field*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
pretty much, here's a pic of the ankle...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
and here's a tweet with the video (ouch!)...
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Okay, fine. Garden variety ankle sprain. *
Posted by illinijohn
|
Ummm, looks more like his shoe is coming off.
Posted by illinijohn
|
ANKLES DO NOT BEND THAT WAY. GOOD NIGHT. *
Posted by assassin
|
Any reply link? I didn’t see it*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Holy shit that was tense. And fuck you, el tri!!!*
Posted by VIV
|
Ditto. *
Posted by illinijohn
|
what a game*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
What’s the reason for eng to not use all subs when down to 10 men?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Was thinking same. Bellingham was gassed.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
They did use all their subs*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Screen showed they had one left.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Used all the windows, right?*
Posted by Potomac
|
I think that’s the window to make subs *
Posted by MC
|
Oh. There was one little notch under ENG on the score bug, thought that was subs*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I thought when Kane came out they showed 0 subs left*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Checked. They had 1 sub but no windows left.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
So yeah my point stands. Not using all 5 - for any reason - seems dumb. But what do i know*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah they used just 1 of 2 at 90'
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Seems like maybe Mexico should try something else at least once?*
Posted by OB25
|
Way too many crosses *
Posted by MC
|
It seems like England doesn’t know how to kill a clock*
Posted by PapaDels
|
These Mexican players keep letting Pickford get settled again after he comes out. Just shoot.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
And to think that we still have a new episode of After Hours with James Corden tonight too*
Posted by OB25
|
Speaking of an eternity.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
11 minutes. Good lord*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Seems excessive. PK but almost no injury time lost*
Posted by Potomac
|
2 reviews*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I mean*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Why are Alvarado legs 2 different colors?*
Posted by ATL
|
Tats?*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Control the ball*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Can England really hold on to this for another 15 minutes*
Posted by Mrap24
|
They are playing way, way, way too deep. And unlike Bosnia, Mexico can actually threaten.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Not like this*
Posted by VIV
|
¡¡¡Todos reciben la tarjeta amarilla!!!*
Posted by ATL
|
They can't even keep that camera steady.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That’s probably my favorite part of Azteca tbh, respect the crowd noise *
Posted by MC
|
Or the poor constructions standards*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
It’s probably fine. Like most things, it was built by Mexicans. *
Posted by VIV
|
I wish that they’d turn down the crowd noise on the audio feed
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
It’s probably loud as shit there *
Posted by VIV
|
England is getting the full CONCACAF experience*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Ha Ha. Yep. Not just that one play.
Posted by illinijohn
|
Yeah, that’s a foul. It’s kind of unfortunate and they need to rethink the rules of the game.
Posted by ATL
|
What is Kane supposed to do there? The guy came from behind*
Posted by Blazer
|
Bullshit he’s trying to play the ball *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Shouldn’t be a penalty, but it is a penalty because he kicked the foot and not the ball.*
Posted by ATL
|
I hate that. It’s a foul yes but he wasn’t gonna lead to anything *
Posted by MC
|
There should be a materiality test*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Why even kick up there if you’re kane. That was just dumb*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
If they call a pen on Kane that’s rigged *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Holy shit. They’re gonna give them a pen*
Posted by VIV
|
He was already kicking when Mexican got leg over him*
Posted by Potomac
|
That’s not a pen*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Great 1st half from Mexico, only to shit the bed in the first 15 of the 2nd*
Posted by OWWDig
|
These England fans at the stadium... good luck to them.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I was at the gold cup final against them at the rose bowl. God that sucked*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
A fair number know how to mix it up...
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Probably glad they have ponchos*
Posted by shua
|
I love that England hired the most English looking German man in history to be their manager*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Makes sense as the royal family is actually german*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
I love the stat that every World Cup winner to date had a manager of the same nationality.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Security doing a great job of watching people throw shit.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie

In fairness, it’s probably only piss*
Posted by Herman Blume

Piss bags!*
Posted by Mrap24

This game is bananas*
Posted by Blazer
|
I could not dislike this bitchy Mexico team more*
Posted by PapaDels
|
First time watching Mexico? *
Posted by MC
|
No, I could have said this any time I watched them*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Same. They’re by far my least favorite team in the tourney. Fucking hate them. *
Posted by VIV
|
If your favorite team is USMNT and you don’t hate Mexico the most of any
Posted by MC
|
Cosign*
Posted by PapaDels
|
So red card on goalie?*
Posted by shua
|
Can’t be. Yellow at most. *
Posted by VIV
|
What if he went in spikes up? Or covered his mouth while spiking him?*
Posted by shua
|
No, yellow is right call *
Posted by MC
|
This match … *
Posted by MC
|
ABSOLUTE CINEMA*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
Holy crap this is nuts*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
This is wild*
Posted by VIV
|
Remember when fifa pretended to care about the “puto” chant?*
Posted by VIV
|
Cared so much, they awarded Mexico hosting honors*
Posted by OWWDig
|
So the Mexican shithesds are still doing the P* chant? Fuck them.*
Posted by ATL
|
Re: So
Posted by VIV
|
While the correct call that likely will ruin this half*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
Or not*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
If they thought the elevation was a challenge before, with 10 men it should be a blast.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Correct call*
Posted by Mrap24
|
England cursed by the red again. *
Posted by VIV
|
Just a terrible tackle *
Posted by MC
|
Bet you want Djed Spence now, England.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
That's red*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
That’s gonna be a red *
Posted by MC
|
This is like the all drug olympics*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Mexico has no answer for Gordon on the wing*
Posted by Blazer
|
Best half of the tournament so far? *
Posted by MC
|
Gonna be hard to beat extra time between Argentina and Cape Verde… but that was great.
Posted by uofi1998
|
#truth*
Posted by OWWDig
|
The 2nd half is going to be insane/electric*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Save for 2 brilliant minutes from Jude, that was pretty dominant from Mexico*
Posted by OWWDig
|
What a fucking half*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Bellingham with a tremendous save on top of two goals*
Posted by PapaDels
|
What’s with the eyepatch on the side of the head?*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Fractured his skull years ago*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
Thank you*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Get your shit together England*
Posted by Blazer
|
My goodness, so close to a tie game*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Pickford with 2 now*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
Holy wow Jude what a save *
Posted by MC
|
What an incredible last 20 minutes*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
England barely holding on*
Posted by VIV
|
What a response. What a tournament.*
Posted by ATL
|
They got right back up from the canvas*
Posted by Potomac
|
“An explosion of Mexican passion”*
Posted by VIV
|
Buckle up*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
WILD*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini

Action has certainly picked up. *

Revival at Azteca*

If Mexico can’t do anything before halftime, they’re players…

Don’t worry, you’re always a goal away from a urine bath!*
Posted by shua
|
DOS A CERO *clap clap clapclapclap*
Posted by VIV
|
As you were saying?*
Posted by Potomac
|
It was briefly correct. *
Posted by VIV
|
Not for long*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Dos a cero fittingly enough *
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
Too bad they didn’t score when they looked better. Since they don’t have…

Give up a 3rd soon and this will have major Brazil/Germany 2014 vibes*
Posted by OB25
|
lol fuck off Mexico*
Posted by ATL
|
This*
Posted by PapaDels
|
BANG BANG. lol, suck it Mexico. *
Posted by VIV
|
Great ball from Kane, too. *
Posted by VIV
|
OMG*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
Haha. Fuck Mexico!

Wow*

Eeets comming hayom!*

|
Disaster at Azteca*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Trademark rhat*
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
Nice delivery by Saka. Really bad defense to have no one back post. *
Posted by VIV
|
It was a great design using Kane as a decoy
Posted by Blazer
|
That was a beautiful counter attack*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
Mexican players making some fantastic turns with the ball so far. Great skill*
Posted by OWWDig
|
I can’t figure what England is trying to do…serious Brazil vibes right now*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Mexico in control and then holy sh*t*
Posted by Potomac
|
I feel like I manifested that*
Posted by PapaDels
|
LOL *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Safe bet that Mora ends up at Real or Barca eventually *
Posted by MC
|
In theory eligible after he turns 18 in October*
Posted by Potomac
|
Key word being eventually
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
That save was outstanding. Really good header too *
Posted by MC
|
Great save*
Posted by VIV
|
For real*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Could have been red*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
So they’re allowed to say Azteca? *
Posted by Potomac
|
They called KC “arrowhead” a few times. And Azteca is a legendary stadium for world soccer. *
Posted by VIV
|
I understand but FIFA has rules. Good to hear it*
Posted by Potomac
|
I think the rules are more strict about sponsorship names on stadiums
Posted by VIV
|
That’s the way I understood it as well*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Choose your fighter: England or Mexico?*
Posted by ATL
|
I want England, but think Mexico wins. 2-1*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
2-1 England *
Posted by MC
|
Looking good! *
Posted by MC
|
I like Mexico in this game. 2-0*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I’m not super familiar with MEX players but by my count the best 6 players are English
Posted by MC
|
Mexico are slight underdogs*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
At the Azteca, England hasn’t been impressive, and they tend to choke as a country. *
Posted by VIV
|
Mexico tends to choke too, no? *
Posted by MC
|
Holy shit at the national anthem for Mexico. *
Posted by VIV
|
If Cena wins we riot*

Top 5 vs Bottom 5 anthem matchup*

Alexi Lalas’ transition to Lee Marvin is nearly complete*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
Not until he joins the Marines, gets filled with shrapnel and becomes an insane drunk…
Posted by LeatherneckIllini

I like how Marvin and Joe Louis are buried next to each other @ Arlington*

Yup. My buddy took me to that spot.*

Great Viking row.

That’s awesome. *

That's what some English historians call the reign of Alfred the Great*
Posted by Sammich

Thanks Vikings and Old Norse for helping to simplify English
Posted by Potomac
|
The rape, pillage and mass enslavement was a small price to pay for that. *
Posted by larue33
|
Yeah, there was that, too, and more*
Posted by Potomac
|
that Tim Robbins looking dude is pretty good, but Brazil played defense like Harden*
Posted by bbonb
|
We have this sport where they measure the smallest motion of the ball with microchips
Posted by IlliniRunner

In soccer it seems like a solution in need of a problem. In cricket it’s very understandable.*

Imagine if they had blown that.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Why is this game still going?*
Posted by John Coctostan

Dude, just end the fucking game already

LOL Neymar. What a wank*

Neymar: Not relevant since 2023*

This is like an Illinois DB flexing after a tackle on a 30 yard gain while down 40*
Posted by IlliniRunner

Keeper should have pointed out the scoreboard *

Exactly. Wonder what Neymar could even say *

NO(R)WAY!*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
This Brazil team is lacking something big time. Guessing it’s an apex midfielder *
Posted by MC
|
I know they’ve been in the dumps for a decade now
Posted by snipes824
|
They beat the crap out of Belgium and were highly unlucky in 2018
Posted by RD
|
To be clear - dumps being final 8 appearances every WC *
Posted by MC
|
Not anymore!*
Posted by Blazer
|
They had no desire to grab the game, keep or retrieve the ball.
Posted by assassin
|
I mean they’re still not really pressuring *
Posted by PapaDels
|
This is so so strange to watch *
Posted by assassin
|
And getting stranger!!*
Posted by assassin
|
This game has been played at such a bizarre leisurely pace *
Posted by assassin
|
Perhaps that will change things. *
Posted by assassin
|
Really good keeper play in this game*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to vuvuzelas?*

Banned by FIFA *
Posted by Potomac

That’s a shame*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Less annoying than the fans that whistle when the other team has the ball *
Posted by assassin
|
I’d say equally for me*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Rather odd halftime subs for Norway *
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
I kinda love the keeper’s strategy of just bombing it to Haaland…go win the ball, buddy*
Posted by PapaDels
|
I'm enjoying the stutter step penalty disasters in this tournament
Posted by UIHuskie
|
I thought you were not allowed to come to a complete stop when taking a penalty*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Brazil sad*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
Clear penalty*
Posted by Mrap24
|
There have been horrific challenges made in the box this WC. Like what are you thinking type fouls*
Posted by MC
|
Definitely a pen*
Posted by VIV
|
How did that ref miss that on the field*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez

It appears Balogun will be available to play tomorrow

Ooo

Another data point for FIFA being corrupt as shit. *
Posted by VIV

What’s corrupt about it? They’re getting right what was wrong
Posted by RD

Well said. *
Posted by harb

Who cares? Great for the US. Plus they misused VAR. *
Posted by harb
|
Belgium statement: seems like they're protesting this decision
Posted by DanSaint
|
I mean, there wasn’t legal standing for overturning the red, either. *
Posted by VIV
|
Article 27?
Posted by harb
|
100% agree. Just don't know what else can be done by Belgium
Posted by DanSaint
|
Belgium and lots of countries are uh not happy *
Posted by MC
|
Hope they are crying into their waffles.*
Posted by Toonces
|
The lack of transparency intra-tournament is a major problem *
Posted by ATL

Astounding corruption. I’d sit him anyway (I know that won’t happen)*
Posted by snipes824
|
FIFA is so corrupt it’s no longer corrupt if that makes sense. There are no rules *
Posted by MC
|
C'mon*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
...why?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Because it’s an asterisk now if we win
Posted by snipes824
|
I think Belgium would get an asterisk if they won it without Balogan out there.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Meh. No one will remember or care if we win
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Everyone will remember. No one in the US will care

Portugal and Ronaldo right before the tournament.*

Exactly. Ronaldo. How many other players and nations?*

Have you heard much about that prior to today? I sure hadn't.*

We don't know at what level the decision was made, do we?
Posted by Potomac
|
So your theory is that infantino was in a good mood and violated FIFA rules?*
Posted by ATL
|
I was joking, sorry, although almost nothing would surprise me with him*
Posted by Potomac
|
Got it. He is supposed to have no say in such matters. The red card was harsh.
Posted by ATL
|
SHOCKING *
Posted by MC
|
Woot. Good news. *
Posted by harb
|
Woot. Good news. *
Posted by harb
|
I’m not sure how this fits within the rules but I like it*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
The red card was extremely harsh. And maybe there needs to be something where the player is sent off
Posted by ATL
|
Exactly where I’m at. Absolutely insane that a red necessarily carries another game suspension…
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
FIFA makes their own rules. Meaning, there are no rules. *
Posted by MC
|
Here's some text from The Athletic
Posted by Potomac
|
“We’ve got rules, but really, we can do whatever we want”*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
True but this time, there is legit cause to overturn bc the VAR wasn’t supposed to happen.
Posted by OWWDig
|
It taking 3 days is the problem. Rules weren’t followed, they knew it, decision could have been made
Posted by Mrap24
|
They also haven't provided the reason for suspending the ban
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Considering the VAR protocol’s argument has been mentioned for days…
Posted by shua
|
They don’t have to admit anything. *
Posted by harb
|
FIFA is shameless. We already knew this. At least this time it’s to right a wrong*
Posted by CWR10
|
They did the same thing with Ronaldo
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Yeah. Feels political but…

Political is letting that Uzbekistan referee do any more games*

It's been said before but I'll say it again...this studio crew is fantastic

Rebecca Lowe and Henry are great. Zlatan is growing on me*

A perfect example of more than one way to play the game.

I’m glad France was not provocated (Zlatanisms)*

Yep, chippy little shits*

What a dumb foul. Going away from goal*

Clear penalty*

Knee on knee. *

Didn’t even try for the ball*

Probably. And then Aaronson for CP with about five left for fresh legs.
