Trying to explain CONCACAF is really annoying.

That's true, the play against Germany and the Netherlands was pretty sweet.

idk what's up with that.

It's why I sometimes prefer women's soccer, less dives mean less shit calls.

How is it that the US ended up in the easiest spot for the knockouts and still fucked up?

OH WAIT

IT'S THE US

MLS refs have been pretty fucking bad in general, I'd say.

Dreadful.

I hadn't considered the plight of you Carolina people in this matter.

Truth be told, the Lions are close and decent and now I appreciate their closeness and decent-ness all the more.

Yes.

Why?

Ooh, yeah, the purple is pretty nice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

THAT WAS SUCH A FUN GAME

Columbus blatantly fouled Larin at least twice while the ref was watching without consequence.

Is this just going to be a 'let's bitch about refs' thread? Because I could get in on that shit.

A fair point.

Would have been 40 if the refs had allowed OC's goal at the beginning of the second half what an absolute farce

That's quite a lot of goals.

Oh my god you guys

did you see the dive Higuita got that red for

i literally couldn't stop laughing

goodmorning · Post Post #175 (isolation #18) » Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:11 pm

I already don't remember who it was he 'fouled' which is hindering my ability to find a gif of it.

goodmorning · Post Post #177 (isolation #19) » Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:12 pm

Looks like it may have been Barnetta? I'll look that up when I get back from tutoring, it's pretty necessary to share w/everyone

p-edit: thanks majiffy

I can't find it anywhere, but it was so worth seeing. Just the usual jostling was happening, Higuita was trying to push Barnetta off his back, got his cheek though it looked softer than my sister hit at 6, Barnetta freezes for a good long while, standing, then grabs his whole face in both hands, flings himself to the turf and rolls around for a good while.

Though not long enough that the trainers would come on, of course.

Reminded me a bit of Suarez holding his teeth after he bit Chiellini.
