International Soccer: POCH

Czech Rep
Slovakia
Slovenia
Serbia
Croatia
Ukraine
Georgia
Germany (reunification counts?)

If it’s those 8, there are lots of people playing that’s true for. Anyone born pre-1990 would qualify.

I don’t think you understand how little I follow international football. I don’t know what to make of it. I need someone who immerses themselves in this stuff to do it for me.

Pepe is coming off a pretty good season at Porto, and he played well in this tournament. His position is the one where speed is the least necessary.

Ronaldo was washed two years ago, and isnt one of the 5 best attackers or 3 best players in his position for Portugal.

Their coach has just always been terrible and after finishing bottom of the group with Belgium, I have no idea how Portugal hired him

Soccer is confusing. How was that not even a check for a handball on Spain?

Agree.

In the end, it was a good no call, but I’ve definitely seen less intentional than that called before.

Was offside right before so they didn’t bother

This Canada Venzuela game is like a basketball game so far. Just back and forth down the court.

This is wild. I’ve never watched a game like this. Defending is completely optional.

Hearing that makes me regret spending the last hour fixing my toilet. More.

It’s crazy how these donks keep getting jobs. He already ruined Belgium’s golden gen, now Portugal’s, wouldn’t surprise me if USA goes all in on him so he can ruin ours.

Switzerland are free $ with this England lineup.

Loved the corner that they took short only to have it back at their keeper 3 passes later.

He’s a fine talking head at halftime. He should just stick with that.

Nah we are better and it seems we actually are playing to our strengths (despite Southgate). Best half by us by a mile.

gotta love how Southgate waits until his team is losing to put his good lineups in, they look like a different team in the last 10 minutes.

It’s not even a good lineup, it’s just not completely awful

Also England are playing with 1CB currently

Should just go NHL rules and punish teams like England and France for their terrorist tactics.

Opposing team double chance and u2.5 has been the play consistently

I don’t think it’s England’s intended tactics so much as the squad selection forces them to play boring tactics
