You know what stuck out to me? The German fullbacks.

They were incredibly static.

Those guys were playing a back 4 like it was the bad old days.

Nigeria up.

I'm a relative n00b to soccer.. But god damn am I pumped for tomorrow. I feel as excited tonight as I was the night before we played Indy in January.

Win and you're in lives here!

Did we not say Ghana was a legit contender after the US beat them?

No one believed us

Actually not surprised. The skull is all hard bone with not a lot of flesh to cushion the blow. The reason boxing gloves were invented is that boxers would break their hands punching each other in the head.

Of course, that made boxing less safe since boxers started going for the knockout with headshots instead of body blows which was normal before.

Dunno if you saw what Mueller's face looked like afterwards.

Yeah, he's gonna need a Band-Aid...

I saw the hit, just didn't think it was worthy of laying on the ground for 5 minutes. I will eat crow if he broke his scapula

Anyone going down to power and light tomorrow?

That shot by Messi.... Speechless.

Sorta, I will be at Johnny's Tavern.

I felt like they were a legit team but....I didn't see them playing like that. Not shocked...but surprised. Good on them for real.

Good to hear man. Throw any questions you have out there. In some ways the game is insanely simple but when you dig it can be very complicated. Enjoy the game bud.
