Bony shouldnt have cut his hair .... its sapped his prowess

 

[Lo Siento.]

Most goalkeepers are disappointed when they concede any goal.

But aye, there's a level of blame associated that often isn't warranted, generally because the 'keeper was able to at least get something on it.

yep, non-goalkeeper watching slow-mo replay lambasts goalkeeper because he doesn't react quick enough to a ball blasted at him from 2m away.

that range you often just get lucky or you dont

Tiote is number 9?!

On the flip side, I'm sometimes a little cynical about 'keepers getting high praise when basically they got hit by a ball blasted straight at them at close range. Still, gotta put yourself in the way; I always say as long as it doesn't go in it doesn't matter how you keep it out

Anyone think Qatar's going to have rocking stadiums like this? They should just rotate it around Latin American countries. What a racket!

You don't want it to rain. Trust me. It can be a foot in an hour!

Not sure where we're playing, but did hear them saying it had been raining and was, I think, below 20. Or maybe it was 27?

Gabby and Phillip are wearing coats, so that bodes well!

You're right. Please, fire the insult of your choosing at me.

 

[Favelado]

It is worth mentioning that it is only 12 degrees in Montevideo today though. It's not like their players don't know what a bit of a nippy breeze is like. Uruguay is quite far south after all.

Colombia are a decent side!

I had them as a potential QF team before Falcao involuntarily removed himself from another big competition.

Two goals by Porto players, one current, one former
