International Soccer: POCH

Yeah by all rights it should be 2-2

Germany have had their share of footie glory - I was a few months old last time we won anything.

:soccer: :icecream: :houses:

Now that England has beat Germany, Iā€™m expecting that later today gravity will start pulling up and trickle down economics will start working.

This German team was the strangest in the tournament. Lots of talent, but strange tactics, poor results coming in and a weird mix of youth and veterans.
I didnā€™t think they were a top 5 team coming in and had a little on England to win to nil today.

Thank fuck Belgium and Italy can play football too :pray:

He is a very good player. He would look better if England had a player as good as Son for him to work with

Alas he has sterling and saka and penis head

Iā€™m watching the SWEā€“UKR march, and itā€™s bothering me that the announcer sounds just like Sean Hannity.

Belgium canā€™t do much without Kdb

Itā€™s not about the quality of his wingers, Sterling and Saka have outplayed him so far. Itā€™s that as you say, the entire Spurs team is built around Kane. This England team is built around their defense. Sancho is better than Son and similar fwiw.

A Swede almost split a Ukrainian leg in half, horrific foul

Looks like Iā€™m in the minority here but I thought the red card was wrong, similar to the Son red card that eventually got overturned. Heā€™s kicking a ball and has no idea about the other player. Bad shit happens sometimes, that doesnā€™t make it a red. Swinging through a ball isnā€™t the same as purposely coming ā€˜studs upā€™ into a player.

Whatā€™s with the dude who scored second goal for Ukraine ripping off his shirt only to reveal what looked like a sports bra. Or whatever the heck it was. Are those things just standard now? Am I the only one who thought it was weird.

Those are standard now, yes, but I agree it still looks a bit peculiar

Wanted his own Brandi Chastain moment.

But seriously I noticed this too - is it an anti-nipple chafing technology? Some sort of harness for tracking tech?

This.

In addition to the people telling you itā€™s tracking stuff, a lot of usa sports use them nowadays too

It must produce useful data, when I trained more seriously for marathons I used to have a heart rate monitor I would wear that produced good data for keeping your heart rate in an optional training zone. It was just a band though, I could see how a bra shape would be better for contact sports.
