I'd say they were more than tough calls. More like bullshit to make sure the media darlings go through easier. South Africa got hosed, plain and simple, especially when they drove the dagger in with that second yellow. I guess the player is supposed to pull their leg back while falling backwards and the Spanish team is running in for contact. Apparently, SA missed the memo on that one.

Yeah I pretty much agree.  England and Brazil were impressive today.

My wife actually watched the US vs Thailand match today with me, and wholly shet that was crazy.  Goal, goal, goal, goal...fuggin nuts.  I loved it but felt for the Thai players.  USWNT should be making MORE than the men.  They are 100 times more entertaining.

The US was amazingly sharp but could have scored at least 5 more goals.  Crazy.

Germany only has two goals in two games...but two wins.  Works for me
US took a much different route

This World Cup is going a lot better for me than last years. =)

The World Cup women or mens is so fuggin awesome.  Germany is definately one of the favorites.  France was pushed yesterday bigtime.  Interesting penalty call too.  Hmm.

Copa (and Gold Cup I guess) start this week too.  Soccer orgy!!!

As much as I love WC, my favorite years was ‘16 when Euro and Copa were going on all day.  Of course Euro 16 sucked but still.

Berhalter is already on the hot seat.  If they bomb the Gold Cup he could be gone.

What's everyone's take on the goal celebrations and the controversy surrounding it?

I found them to be over the top and a bit of a turn off. 

I 100% support their attempts to convince scoring though.  If GD was not a thing then I would feel differently but if that is going to be apart of it then you have to keep scoring.

I'm on the fence about it. If it's a person's first world cup goal, then celebrate the hell out of it...you've earned that right. If it's a goal to beat a record or even tie one, celebrate it. If it's your 100+ international goal (in other words, you've been here before), then celebrate but don't go over the top with it.

I guess it mostly doesn't bother me. Hell, I wouldn't have thought anything of it if the public hasn't made it a thing.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
