Now THAT...was a fitba game! None of that fairy assed rollin around...bangin..hard fought man's game. Beautiful.

That guy Mandzukic has heart. Out there limpin like a hurt dog and still gave it his all. Denmark's D is on point man.

Future World Cup champs Croatia up next! I think my amazing 'pick em' record speaks for itself...:D

I've yet to pick a winner! lol!! Great games none the less. Good on Russia.

This move makes little sense. Though I understand the thought process in that Coulibaly is a highly versatile player (CM/LM/RM/DM) he brings no skill set that we do not already possess. Not smart.

Good game...I liked the ref...no candy assin permitted.

?

Well, Luis didn't bite anyone. He did his level best for an Oscar at the end there. Holy histrionics Batman.

Great game!

My first question is...how could this possibly cost $2M? Are they including the real estate? Cool toy though.

Argentina-2-1 Portugal 2-1 Spain - 2-1 Croatia - 2-0--JOKER Mexico- 1-0 Belgium-3-1 Sweden-1-0 Colombia -1-0

mmm...yeah thanks. I think that is a good point...very good. They are unfit for the style he would prefer. Yes...I think that is another thing to ponder. A high paced style based upon sheer fitness can be a distinct advantage in the latter stages of a contest. Cool...thanks main!

I find it shocking to read that a professional fitba team is not fit. Maybe i have followed the sport from afar for too long but is this common? One would think that fitness in professional sports as a team is a given. Of course there are members of every squad no matter the game who show up to training camp 'fat, dumb and happy' but an entire squad? Odd I would think.

Ach Mein Gott! Auf wedersehen Deutchland.

I actually really like that. Fitba...yeah that's nice. Fitba. Thanks Gonzo.

I am gonna give Buster some props. I am watching this Croatia match and his words are resonating about sitting your good folks for the real battles. I think you are gonna be spot on about the Eng/Bel match.

Hopefully, he went peacefully.

Really...well guess what home slice...I call it that. However...in YOUR honor, your grace, I will now refer to English Football as Billyball. You can now die, forever memorialized in the mind of at least one person on this rock. Congratulations.

Though people have kicked animal bladders around since time's beginning the English were the first to formalize and codify the game we see today. Cambridge Rules of 1848 and subsequently, the FA (1870's? too lazy) gave us the start of the modern game. They wrote the book on it...to them go the honor.

You know, with all the cash these teams are getting...markets are markets. Being flush with cash like the EPL is, this may be a real bid. Especially when you look at the transfer fees that the top tier of the league are forking out. New Chinese owners...TV deal slice...7M is chump change. "Given that the vast £8.4bn TV deals from 2016-19 meant that homely Saints received £122m as their share last season, it will be interesting to watch how much additional investment the Gaos come to believe is really necessary." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/15/southampton-jisheng-gao-chinese-owners

mmmm...gotta give the man his cut. He will come knockin sooner or later.

With American Football...absolutely. With English Football, I am torn. Why? Hens play it.

Yeah. That would be prudent. No sense in risking players like Kane and Lukaku when the way forward is already set. I may be wrong, am more than correct.
