1-1 tie with Wales.  Damn penalty kick.

[Seight]

Nothing I'd read so far about the lead-up to the World Cup implies that Qatar understands the idea of sportwashing^TM is to make your country look...you know, better.

[Distortedreasoning]

[Jman]

Mexico drew with Poland 0-0.

[Seight]

Well screw it, I’m watching anyway.

Also Japan’s second half stunner is going to propel Blue Lock viewership something fierce apparently.

 

[Farg]

Why keep this neff up? This Ack.

[Jman]

Qatar is gone though.

[Seight]

"So England and USA draw nil-nil and"

*loud banging noises*

"Are...are the Qataris starting to take the stadiums apart? The uh...the World Cup's not over yet" 

[Raptorpat]

 

[Seight]

So Belgium is um...not taking losing to Morocco well.

[Jman]

God dammit Ecuador.

US is playing Iran now, and they must win to advance.

[Jman]

Murica!

[Seight]

Ice King, please explain what happened to Christian Pusilic after scoring the game-winning goal*

 

*I'm making this joke because they've already assured us he'll be available for the Netherlands game

[Ginguy]

The announcers aren't yelling "GOAL" long enough or loud enough.

6/10

 

[Jman]

Sure, beat Germany and Spain but lose to Costa Rica.  That makes sense.

I would like to state for the record that the United States is the only team from CONCACAF to make the knockout rounds.

I got a few Brazilian friends following the World Cup.  Brazil losing to South Korea would just be weird when I’m around them.

[Jman]

Penalty kicks.  Penalty kicks of all things!

 

[Seight]

*Portugal drops Ronaldo to the bench*

*His replacement in the lineup scores a hat trick*

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT, FOLKS.

the correct answer is morocco. 

you gotta love seeing the palestine support from the morocco players. 

[Seight]

Either Messi finally wins a World Cup or France becomes the first team to win back-to-back in 60 years.

Neat.

[Jman]

What a final…
