MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 I don't know how the announcers are in Canada but the US ones are borderline unlistenable This afternoon, we have an over/under on how many times this one guy says "Quality" in a match I now feel your pain John, Wish I was still watching the Canadian feed, these commentators are not good. The woman who throws in the comments every 3 minutes sounds disinterested and her analysis seems forced. It turns out, I was better off listening to the Spanish feed at the pool bar yesterday for BRA-BEL Link to post Share on other sites

Untilted 158 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Love hearing "God save the Queen" chant in the middle of a WC match I have family living in Sweden, but....... Come on England Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Whoever was doing g the color in the Brazil game was angering me. Made comments that never actually fit what you would see. Guy dives and the replay shows very minimal contact and they say "he bulldozed him over". Guy gets totally demolished and during replay they say "just a little touch". Go England! Go Croatia! Go France! Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Ive been rooting for those teams too, but now Im thinking an England-Russia matchup might have a lot of tension behind it too, all the fans there. But I still hate the way the Russians made it this far, esp the garbage win over Spain. I would be excstatic with a semifinals of Bel-Fra-Eng-Croatia. Ive loved the way all 4 have played this tourney, all deserving. but first, England needs to finish this. Link to post Share on other sites

Untilted 158 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Ive grown to hate extra time Just goto penalty kicks right away. The wear and tear on the players body is not good with such short recovery times between games Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My nephew is 21 and loves soccer. He bet Belgium 11-1 and France 6-1 Pre tournament. I’m trying to teach him how to lay off money so he can guarantee a win. His response? ‘Why would I do that, Belgium is going to win.’ Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I want to throw up. Spain is so much better than Russia. Sometimes thats just how it goes in this sport, but I despise teams who sit back, defend and stall for penalty kicks. Not deserving. Makes my Croatia/France picks look better. lol I was hopeful to watch an England-France final, but this above makes up for it Link to post Share on other sites
