Ya, that was crap. I have to root for the Saudis now.

Laker, read about this Saudi HC. He's a very good team-builder. He won AFR Cup of Nations w/ Zambia in 2012 as a total outsider:

Yes he is smart. He completely outwitted scaloni. Saudi Arabia looked great in the second hf. Argentina didn't take advantage of the high line and then they were stunned.

Use your modeling and ratings to identify EV in second half OVERs, some 1st half too.

Win or lose.

They’re handing it to you on a silver platter, you just have to know how to find it. Don’t be wreckless…

The 5 longest periods of stoppage time for a single half of soccer at any World Cup we’re all played in Qatar this week.

England and Iran had 15 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, but there was a head injury. The second half had almost 14 minutes of stoppage time, somewhat unexplained.

There’s VAR, and other delays, but there is something more intentional.

”The purpose is to offer more show to those watching the World Cup.” - Pierluigi Collina, FIFA referees committee chairman.

He said this before the tournament started. Collina said the directive to referees is not new.

1-0 Aussie. It's a tournament of dreams. Great goal, French guy injured.

Goat Milk · 11-22-22, 05:29 PM

France looked beatable today. Flurry of goals but midfield is wide open.

I don't mind that at all. What a group.

*Saudis are now Must See TV. What a performance.

I'm going to go back and study this Renaud some more. As you mentioned, he's good.

Why does ARG always wind up w/ the most inept coaches?

I value Donovan's broadcasting input. He seemed to think that ARG would still be in good shape to at least Advance.

Laker, even at 0-0 (50')...I think you're going to win the whole thing.

Wow, I haven't seen a team overmatched like this. Ghana is boxed into their own half. This is not a great Ghana team by Ghana standards, 61st world ranking.

One thing Ghana is doing well. They're boxing CRonaldo w/ 3 guys. And the ref not rewarding the PORT diving.

slayer14 · 11-24-22, 12:11 PM

Ghana need to make use better off corners and free kicks

slayer14 · 11-24-22, 12:12 PM

Wow that was close shot from Ghana
