MexSoxFan#1 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) It doesn't matter how good the other team is, going from from up 1-0 in the 88th minute to still losing in regulation is choking. On a BS flop by Robben Anyways, a late goal on CR, let's go Ticos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Talking about last minute goals, all three CONCACAF teams have given up very late game goals, the US vs Portugal, Mexico against Holland and CR vs Greece...dat concentration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Greece deserved to lose that game. You can't have a man advantage that long and not capitalize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR was dead out there and Greece still couldnt do anything for 30 minutes. I dont see how Costa Rica will be able to survive the Dutch. CR isnt going to have much left.

Greece had two golden chances to score that he blocked, albeit somewhat inadvertently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see how Costa Rica will be able to survive the Dutch. CR isnt going to have much left. Greece doesn't know how to do anything. They play defense for the draw and hope for a possible counter. They aren't built to attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Excellent penalty shot-out. Some top quality penalties from both teams. Even Gekas' miss was a very good save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mexico: It was a foul in the box, and a stupid one at that since the guy didn't even have the ball anymore. Costa Rica: Nice job on the shootout. Was nice to see after all those painful misses yesterday by Brazil and Chile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I feel like we've been told Costa Rica will be outmatched every game before they win. I'm not betting against them anymore (figuratively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How did Campbell play today for C.R.? I tried to wake up at 4 a.m., then 5 a.m. around halftime and couldn't quite motivate myself to get up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bet Nigeria +1.5 goals -120. Not really happy about that but I'm bored at work. Put big money on Germany -1.5 goals (-110). Feel real good about that. Feeling 4 to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will be letdown This year's games are being played at 1/4/7 pm Rio time for the first two group stage games and at 1/5 pm local time for the third group stage game and the knockout round. If 2018 follows the same schedule, with Moscow being 8 hours ahead of EDT in the summer, games will be at 5/8/11 am EDT and then 5/9 am EDT. Qatar is only one hour behind Moscow, so this is our last chance to see afternoon games for a long time (unless of course 2022 gets moved to the US).
