Think that Saudi player broke his jaw and cheekbone/eyesocket. Is that the worst injury ever in a world cup? Fukn unlucky.
Fuck FIFA. It wouldn't ever happen but would be so good if everyone was like fuck you we'll make our own sport and made a game that didn't go for two hours
Look up "Schumacher collision with Battiston 82" - German keeper destroyed a French player who lost 2 teeth, consciousness and had 3 cracked ribs
God damn it Davies. You don't take penalties for Bayern, David who is a striker for Lille does...your glory hunting killed us with that weak ass PK. If you had told me Canada lost 1-0 to Belgium and I knew nothing else I'd have thought it was great. Having taken the afternoon off and the kids out of school to watch us absolutely boss the #2 team in the world and still go into the half down a goal - I was losing it. Great teams can have an off day - get one chance and take it. Us lesser mortals have to play a perfect game or we're done.
oh man. That Germany-France semi-final in 82 was my first exposure to international football.... I was 8 and I remember it so vividly. there was no red card, no penalty, nothing. Injustice in its purest form. left the whole country traumatized, even awaking bad memories of WWII. sounds silly but it is what is.....French and german heads of state actually released a joint statement to call for appeasement. Just crazy all around. for those who have not seen it:
as for the Australia game, I just want to say I am super glad for Giroud. these 2 goals made him the all-time top goal scorer for France (tied with Henry) and his whole career is a testament to a positive attitude and hard work. Unbelievable to think he started to play in Ligue 1 so late, at 24 and had his first cap at 25.
oh, also: Jewel Runner, you must be new at this sport if you think England is "beast at football" hahaha.....english national team has not won anyting in decades.
edit: Fifa video can't be embedded apparently....here's another archive
