This 18 year old, Yamal, is really impressive.
He's definitely got the green light.
wall encroachment goal disallowed. Never heard that in my life
@bar-down The way some of these tiny countries are playing, I'm glad they expanded the tournament.
@goat honestly. I feel like this World Cup has been a phenomenal celebration of the sport and our country. But I feel like the quality has been pretty bad. Spain started to make progress today but the difference between this and champions has been night and day. I have some personal connections to Haiti’s team and a few others. These are players that are barely mls quality

Absolutely, but the vast majority of us watching don't know enough to detect that lack of quality. Instead, we just see the phenomenal stories.
Curacao's keeper that almost matched the save record last night doesn't even play in MLS, he plays in USL. And he's their star. But his performance was incredible regardless.
@goat exactly!!! And fair. And my connections to a handful of things are literally that low. USL
Damn that goal from Gamze was amazing! Can't believe Kamkatchka is putting it to Northern Macacco like this! Upset of the tournament brewing.

I was going to tag the person who accused me of making up fake countries, but then it turned out it was you, and that ruined the joke. Thanks a lot.
Level again! Cape Verde (yes, @bradstevens a real country) takes advantage of a huge keeper error to knock in the empty-netter!
@goat WTF is going on. No way Uruguay should be this bad
Seriously. I had them as a potential dark horse to make a run. The first goal could be chalked up to bad luck. Sometimes you control 80% of possession and just get caught with an unlucky bounce. And then they came back and bang-bang showed who the boss was. But that goal was an error of galactic proportions. On all sides. The back never should have played that, the keeper never should have come out, and everyone else was just standing around looking stupid. Only the Cape Verde forward seemed to even understand what was going on. I'm definitely down on Uruguay now.
@goat apropo of nothing cape is wearing capelli. dirty company that has come on the scene in the last five to ten years. they landed rush. biggest club in the world. probably 50,000 kids. they adopted the sonny vaccarro approach and pay off coaches to have the teams wear their shit. delivery with them as been so worthless that rush is going back to nike. just nutty to see capelli in a world cup. anyway. random i know
@bar-down Multiple chances for Uruguay late here. Incredible they can't knock one of these in.
