It’s being held in Russia.  Everything that country tocuches turns into grade A shit.

I have a theory. The Russians are not only doping their own players, they are somehow drugging all the other teams to play shittier.

It's probably the food they are providing. Though my guess is Japan brought their own food along for the tournament.

On the one hand, I'm glad to see that playing for a tie was suitably punished by a crushing last minute shorthanded wonder goal. On the other hand, Germany looks like utter shit this tourney. Their defense has been routinely unable to handle the 1v1/1v2 counters, their fullbacks are nowhere to be found on defense. Kimmich looks like the ghost of Alberto Moreno out there. Their midfield is similarly unable to give service to anyone and I don't think it's just because both teams have bottled up and played on the counter. The team just looks disjointed as hell.

Belgium is another team that infuriates me. They are full of world class talent but I've yet to see that they actually play like a team for 90 minutes. Even though they won 5-2, it should never have been 2. They let off constantly and their backline of 3 with "fullbacks" who are wingers with no seeming defensive responsibilities at all makes them vulnerable to the counter, which all the shit teams are doing this tourney (and most World Cups). Tunisia is absolutely an argument for not expanding the World Cup to more teams, as they are shitty shit shit shit.

Are good fullbacks just that hard to find nowadays?

Lahm retired and he was absolutely key to Germany‘s succession 2014.

Also Neuer is coming off of a large injury break and not up too form  why so serious?

That was a pretty amazing turn of events this morning for that group. Good on SK for not rolling over because they were out of the tourney and exposing Germany.

My uncle Heinrich wrote them off after game one. He's from Bohn and he's like "They don't know how to cover one side of the field at all. They suck. We're not going to get out of this group."

Also he predicted the French will win it all, so there you go.

Not bringing Sane starting to look ominous. Theres obviously a multitude of reasons why they were bad, but thats a signifier.

Also not having any striker other than Werner and Gomez didn't seem to help. Werner is decent but not Klose quality.

Not playing Sane, starting Khedira twice?? Putting Mueller on the bench for the 3rd game. Starting shit, winning lucky and then radically switching up the lineup again so no consistency could be achieved.

Suck it Germany, you deserved that loss. 

Low will probably be USMNT HC by end of year  Ohhhhh, I see.

Poor Germany.  But they should be used to losing world-wide contests by now...especially in Russia.

Have to hang this one on Lowe.  Germany were very poorly prepared for this cup. 

Belgium is looking very good.  They have a strong squad.  Too bad they are in the same leg as Brazil.

Jesus that Uruguay/Portugal match  turned into a rugby match. I'm all for letting them play but ffs some of that shit was borderline red.

Yeah there were some really shitty tackles that weren't even called as fouls in that match. That was borderline irresponsible on the refs part because someone could have gotten really hurt. Unfortunately, there was also a shitload of diving too.

Too many shitheads crying foul and so the ref eventually deemed everything a dive. Fuck them that’s what you get for diving.

Fair enough, but with VAR now available, it is still surprising some of those tackles were not reviewed and called.

Yeah, and some of those tackles were egregious enough to warrant a look.
