It's grass. World Cup doesn't allow turf.


Well, the Men's anyway. They made the Women play on turf in Canada.

I know I remember, which is why i was initially shocked that they'd have them play on turf. but of COURSE they arent playing on turf. The dude has black rubber pellets on his face so i thought it was turf.
 
:rofl

It had to be tough for him to watch Ronaldo’s performance prior to his match. The guy has A LOT of pressure on him, and he seemed to have a lot of trouble dealing with it.

Not really.

Iceland has a suffocating defense. It's the way they play. Portugal - Iceland was 1-1 in Euro 2016 as well (no, Ronaldo didn't score)

Messi is a notoriously bad PK taker, given that he's basically superhuman in every other part of the game.

The narratives are silly. Basically "Ronaldo beat Spain, 3-3!" and also "Messi loses to Iceland, 1-1!"

The pressure isn't being compared to Ronaldo. The pressure is being considered a failure if he does anything but win the WC.

I heard on NPR... the brit hooligans are pussies by Russian standards, and that heroin is legal around the stadium, and Cossacks on horseback are doing security.
Edit: and the Cossacks have whips...

That’s what I heard.

Yes, and those who come with their pet bear riding a unicycle get free admission to games.

I sucked Google dick and paid for YouTube TV for the month. Will cancel the subscription by the end of the tournament.

I was just listening to a freakanomics podcast that said the same. The dude from men in blazers was speaking.

Egypt coach during the break: "come 2nd half we need to hit the net asap". Egypt player: "say no more". By the end of the tournament we may have a full team of own scorers.
