Maybe I haven’t given these guys enough credit then lol win or loss, they still would play Bosnia. 10 of 11 players who started were a backup, even the goalie. Quote

This includes indigenous regional groups (such as Bretons, Occitans, and Basques) as well as millions with historical ancestry from Italy, Spain, and Portugal. North African / Maghrebi origin: Approximately 10% to 12% of the population. Black / Sub-Saharan / Overseas French origin: Approximately 3.5% to 5% of the population.

I'm done with this in this thread. I promised edjr that I would stick to discussion of crappy soccer in this thread. It's his birthday and he's sad because sucks in our golf league; it's the least I can do for him. Have a nice day. I guess Ed wants to make it about race now. I know none of you hypocrites will call him out though. Quote

Well, in addition to the fact that I hadn't read this thread in days, I would point out that sidetracking the thread on Charlie Kirk is not the same as mentioning race of soccer players in the soccer thread. So, you managed a failed gotcha by quoting me talking about your failed gotcha. Impressive failure. Quote

I was simply responding to @Engorgeous George claiming that legal immigration was “welcomed.” I provided one example where it wasn’t, and it wasn’t until @Strike questioned that example that I provided another…Kirk.

Voltaire Posted June 30 Posted June 30 LOL at Germany losing to the same laughably horrible Paraguay team that the US easily rolled over. Using Paraguay as a barometer, looking at it as them not being laughably horrible after all, maybe the US has a great team this year. Quote

Mark Davis Posted June 30 Posted June 30 14 minutes ago, Voltaire said: I think rather than a penalty kick shootout, they could have a 7-on-7 overtime. Yep, allow more subs, sudden death. I get the physical toll, the fitness of those guys is incredible. I think that's why they don't keep playing, but penalty kicks is little more than a coinflip. Quote
posty Posted June 30 Posted June 30 15 minutes ago, Voltaire said: I think rather than a penalty kick shootout, they could have a 7-on-7 overtime. That is done in OT in field hockey... If there is no goal scored, then they do a shootout, but it isn't like penalty kicks where the success rate is high... Quote

supermike80 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 I am absolutely loving the videos on social media that are coming out from foreigners who love it here. I don't mean like it here..LOVE it here! Not just the portion sizes or how big everything is here, but how awesome Americans really are. It's great. The videos of the tartan army in Boston are epic Quote

League Champion Posted June 30 Posted June 30 The shootout is corny. If anything move the ball back 5 feet so it involves more skill instead of them guessing what way the goalie is going. Quote

thegeneral Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Guess I’m in the minority on the PK’s. Any other option just doesn’t sound great either. They are dead by the end of 120+ minutes and reducing players I think would be just as gimmicky. The PK is very tense and I thought was exciting enough watching the end of those two games yesterday.

With how many saves and misses, PKs have been glorious! now for the final world cup game they should play till they drop. Quote

edjr Posted July 1 Posted July 1 why doesn’t a team get a player with a Wemby type body and plant him at the 6 yard box on every corner kick? easy peasy Quote
