It’s all about him

Rooting for Messi.

Dutch should have won with Cruyff and/or Van Basten/Gullit generation, this team has nothing compared to them.

LOL, Peter Drury.

Verbatim:

"And here, after a brief hiatus. Heavy hitters once again. Crafty creation of a canny veteran coach van Gaal, who may into his 8th decade, still have the ultimate day, the ultimate say. Of all the great intercontinental rivalries, few as vivid...as resonant as this one. They walk here, just as their forerunners did, into the ticker tape of Buenos Aires, the steamy heat of Marseilles, the endless night of Sao Paolo, a game for the ages, of Krol and Cryuff, of Passarela and Kempes, of that ball from De Boer, and Bergkamp's balletic beauty, of then, and of now, an album of memories, and tonight, an abundance of scrumptious possibilities."

Eat your heart out Ron MacLean.

Bergkamp, Rijkaard, Overmars.

 

[Evilo]

Go Messi!

Another gem from Peter Drury, after Morroco's win:

"Drink it in Casablanca, relish it Rabat, this is your night. See it from atop the Atlas Mountains, all above the Marrakech Express, a night Morocco would never forget."

 

[Evilo]

Not a foul.

 

[NyQuil]

Not a foul.

No chance of winning the ball though either, sliding from behind through him like that.

Romero? He got the ball fair and square.

 

[NyQuil]

Referees are a bit leery when, sure, you make contact with the ball first, but you also have no hope of not taking the player completely out from behind.

Nice pass but a little too heavy.

 

[Evilo]

Don't think he even touched him.

 

[bluesfan94]

Simply winning the ball doesn't prevent something from being a foul, much to the surprise of many fans/players

 

[NyQuil]

Not a foul.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Are we seriously talking about Tom f***ing Brady in comparison to a player. Of course we are, because 'murican coverage.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Who's doing the commentary on the Fox stream? Drury & Ekoku are annoying me on the TSN/World feed.

Strong/Holden...and whatever sideline reporter just compared elite athlete Virgil Van Dijk to Tom Brady.

Nvm those two are the worse combo.

Which player is like Jeff Gordon?

Barf.

I can't watch football in English, I have to mute it or watch it in Spanish. Am I fluent in Spanish? Absolutely not.

I would pay an extra fee for Derek Rae, who was with...Aly Wagner? But I haven't heard them since the group stage. Hell, even Dellacamara and (mostly awful) Cobi Jones would be preferable.

Winning the ball, not touching the opponent, not having studs near the other player, yeah that's not a foul.

"depay...bergwijn....Depay...Bergwijn...DEPAY....BEERRRGWIJJNN..."

Argentina hasn't been very energetic in this WC ironically outside of the game they lost.
