The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

That sounds like an amazing night...

 

Dear am: It was more amazing for my grown children, who went with the team on their bus to an after hours club, which may be why they were essentially unconscious until dark today.
PS: Went to a bar/cafe for dinner, as restaurants aren't open on Sunday. When they played the national anthems of both teams before kickoff, everyone stood up and sang the Marseillaise just like in Casablanca. Pretty cool. Last soccer update, back in States Tuesday evening. I'll be very sad to leave, and happy to be home.

 

Mexico flat-out quit in the second half. And Chile is very good.

 

Slate does soccer.

Scared seeing that guy go over that advertising board and the reaction of the players. Looks like he is OK.

Are those boards relatively close on this field?
