  1. Holy crap. Walker just practically gifted Colombia a goal, and Colombia said "Nahhhh. We'd rather go home."
  2. Sigh. I have no idea what the Japan defenders were doing on that.
  3. Ugh. Goalkeeper error leads to a Belgian goal. 2-1 Japan
  4. GOAL! Inui makes it 2-0 Japan from the top of the box!!
  5. Some exciting soccer here. If you're not watching, you're missing out. ? GOAL! Beautiful strike from Haraguchi! 1-0 Japan
  6. I care. ? Go Samurai Blue!
  7. Well, I'm locked into Japan for family reasons, but they have a tough row to hoe with Belgium, and then if by some miracle they win, next facing the winner of Brazil/Mex... I think that this might actually be the year that England manages to make it to the finals and then break their fans' hearts.
  8. And still manage, somehow, to !@#$ that up...
  9. Or, god forbid, rest your starters in a meaningless NFL regular season ending game if you've already locked your best possible playoff berth. No NFL team would ever do that...?
  10. You described it perfectly. Thank you! Samurai Blue are through to Round of 16. Next monday they will play either Belgium or England depending on results of that match today. If it's a draw, I think it comes down to yellow/red cards.
  11. You should write to FIFA with your recommendations on the proper way to qualify teams for the WC. I'm sure they'll be very interested in your ideas.
  12. If Janoris ever steals one of Aaron Kromer's beach chairs things will really get interesting.
  13. Whew. Salvaged the point. But now they'll probably need to win the match with Poland on Thursday to go through.
  14. OMG, Honda!!! This game is giving me a !@#$ing heart attack.
  15. Oh !@#$! Well, here come Honda and Okazaki. Hope they can save Japan's ass.
  16. Senegal is starting to play very dirty. Clawing guys in the eyes/nose is not cool. Japan has suddenly become amazingly creative on offense, but they have to finish. Senegal really lucky there.
  17. Shibasaki put on a clinic a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, it was in aikijujutsu, not soccer... Wow! Brilliant play by Nagatomo and then a perfect strike by Inui to equalize. I can't believe what I just saw.
  18. Ugh. Big mistake. 1-0 Senegal. Honda is telling everybody to calm down. Lots of game left to play, but the next time Japan comes from behind to win a WC match will be their first...
  19. Let's go Samurai Blue!!
  20. I bet the US could have made it in if we only had to fight Trinidad or Tobago. Both islands together are just too powerful! UNFAIR!
  21. I cannot believe how bad Panama is. They don't deserve to play on the same pitch as England.
  22. I am rooting for Japan tonight vs Senegal. (Starts at midnight over here, and I have an early morning flight back to the U.S., but sacrifices must be made!)
  23. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/19/travel/buffalo-ny-art-refugees-silos-wings.html Apologies if already posted.
