Good to see Norm Macdonald in the lineup for Russia.

I'm not sure which US ally/oppressive regime I should be rooting for here.

So are we getting any cool British announcers again or is it all going to be J.P. "pronounce foreign names like a pompous ass" Dellacamera?

Fuck Fox. I hope they lose so much money on this tournament.

Kind of ironic isn't it that the cheerleader station for our Nationalist president is broadcasting the non-American World Cup?

We are blessed with the British announcers here.
You know, World Cup 2026 will be great when the field is expanded to 48, and we get to see a few of the teams that Saudi Arabia can beat in the tournament.

USA would have thrashed that team.
Israel is forced to qualify through Europe because so many teams in Asia refuse to take the field against them. They would have been in the last 2 or 3 world cups easily.
Since 94 - when Saudi Arabia beat Belgium! - their record at the world cup is 0-2-8 with 4 goals scored, 31 conceded.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Asia gets way too many spots already so adding more is going to result in some more stinkers. FIFA keeps trying to get China into the tournament and they’ll keep adding teams until they do.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
I watch a lot of Asian football and they are usually pretty organized. Minnows can usually handle their own third, it's the final third that's the problem.
The Saudis must have been shocked playing the first game. I've never seen two worst center backs in a world cup game.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Anyone have a live stream that I can listen/watch during the day? Xfinity only allows you to watch Fox from your home WiFi. FoxSports is fine, just Fox.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Fox sports Go app carries Network feed. Is Xfinity able to block the network feed only? If so, unaware they could block individual feeds within a third party app.

Also, if Fox app doesn't work, try the NBCsports app since Univision has spanish language rights

The official WC 2018 app is garbage. (Unless you actually want to see the Latvian league schedule instead of just the WC games. Seriously wtf)
Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Going directly through Telemundo works. Thanks.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Consider they're in a group with Spain and Portugal a 0-0 result is basically a loss for both these teams. Could see some exciting back and forth action here in the last 30 minutes. Both teams SHOULD be playing like they're a goal down at this point.
(Then again I said the same thing about Algeria vs. the US in 2010 and they just went into a shell to try and preserve a draw for some damn reason.)

I'm not sure there is enough skill out there to get a goal.

In this game, plenty of both.

That Moroccan player has a major concussion. Looked like he had the fencing response when he tried to get up. I thought there was a clash of heads and then his head hit the ground, too. That looked rough.

It's like these two teams don't know what do now.

Game has slowed to a halt. Might be 10 minutes of injury time.

Re: World Cup 2018 --Pre and Group Stages
Six minutes is bullshit. You're right. It should have been closer to 10. One of these days I'd like to see the refs get that right.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 11:44 am Game has slowed to a halt. Might be 10 minutes of injury time.
