AUBwins 10,088 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Either Colombia rematch or a Mexico rematch. Both sound good to me regardless of what we are playing for. 1st or third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,114 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 With all due respect this is way too many updates for a game USA is not playing in. Just give us a final score and an overall summary to your thoughts of the match. You think 10 posts are too many? So be it. Not stopping. I don't mean to be ugly but no one is forcing you to read them. Really an unnecessary comment. As for my thoughts, I think a 0-0 result would have been fair given the balance of play. One of those games where you hate that there had to be a loser. Peru is not a great side and they gave the Colombians all they could handle. I think Mexico, assuming they do the expected and get by Chile tomorrow and being as hot as they are right now, probably has the upper hand going into the semis. There's a good possibility we get a rematch with Colombia in the third place game. Relax man. It just seems like over kill to me but I can live with it. It was just a constructive post with no disrespect as mentioned in my OP so please don't take it as disrespect. I honestly had no clue anyone cared about any team besides the USA til mustache's post. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,412 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Great goal by Hungary in the closing minutes of the euros. Iceland had a chance for the biggest win in their country's history but the kept unnecessarily giving away possession and going for difficult goals instead of killing clock ... They had a chance in the final 5 seconds but deflected wide. I always think is cool to watch a significant event .... Unfortunately for Iceland it turned out not to be one.

AUDub 11,184 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Austria-Portugal is a fun watch. Poor Austria can't seem to hang on to the ball, but their keeper is giving Ronaldo fits. Great duel between the two and Ronaldo's frustration entertains me to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may still advance given Portugal's draw against Austria just now. Final fixtures of group F are intriguing. Iceland against winless Austria, Portugal against undefeated Hungary.

AUDub 11,184 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hah. What on earth was the keeper doing? Caught in no man's land well outside of the box. Messi scores that open net goal 9/10 times. Nice counter by Venezuela to win a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,184 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Messi fouled in the box and it obviously should be a penalty. 23rd minute. Higuain almost doubles the lead but it's blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
