The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

Mexico wins 2-0 over El Salvador with Tri winning the foul battle 15-11 (they committed 15 fouls) but drew in ejections 1-1.

My dad was texting me basically shaking his head but said these knock-em-out, drag-em-out games are common in Central America. And then he pointed me to this wild story from 1969

 

OK, so I was at a concert last night and just watched the goals. How in blue hell did the CR goal stand with that player in an offside position one step away from the USMNT GK?

 

He wasn't offsides. Dest was keeping him on.

 

Also, even if Dest wasn’t playing him on, in a non-VAR world those types of offsides are rarely called during the run of play.

 

Wolves with a you-have-to-be-kidding-me free kick goal to steal 3 points from Villa. Wolves score in 80’ 86’ and 90+4 to go ahead

 

The last 15 minutes made me physically ill.

 

Hey Tottenham, Maryland called. It wants its flag back.

 

Watford looked fucking FANTASTIC yesterday. I chose that over sleep. I chose poorly.

 

It's the pinpoint placement that really makes this PK worth savoring.

 

Steve Bruce out. Took the pile of money instead of the bone saw.

 

Hey Siri, how do you screw up the World Cup?
