Hard to win on the road, tbh
Same , different day. We're going absolutely nowhere with this bull excuse for a defensive scheme. Thank all your lucky stars that the Chileans don't seem to know how to put a ball in the net, otherwise we would have lost this game by a mile. Yeah, yeah, we all know we can score. No defense, no Copa America, no World Cup, no cup at all. End of story.
Having said that, man do I like Barco. That dude can play.
How the did canada lose 8-1 to honduras? WTF..Embarrsing.
Lol at meAs long as DD starts Benzema instead of Girud, and as long as they dont get caught on counters, they have a chance TBH
Giroud actually scored
AND on a counter
I master the reverse jinx
Spain
How many times did Alexis dive after losing the ball? He always does that in Barcelona.
He faked at least 3 penalties...

Did you ever see freakonomics on why it so hard to win on the road especially in soccer? If not, you may find it interesting. God bless
I looked but couldn't find. If you have a link, I'll appreciate that.
I'm hoping it was freakonomics but here is the basic theory. They said nothing drastically changes in sports with players, it doesn't matter where they play the players play the same. It gave stats in many sports to support this theory like free throw percentage, field goal kickers percentage, strike outs, batting, all sorts of things that you can track home or away in all sorts of sports. So the do entary or website determined the only thing different in wins and losses were the refs. They think the refs don't want to be boo'd or hurt and in soccer they found the home/away difference the biggest in all sports. Giving the rep the fans have over seas, I bought that theory. They gave a much better explanation then I just did. If I find the do entary or a link to the site I will forward to you. God bless
Thanks. I can agree with that. Seemingly the only teams not having a problem winning on the road on a regular basis are mostly stacked teams.
Argentina 3 - Venezuela 0
Higuain 2 goals, Messi 1 goal, 2 assists.
lol Spain
lol Urucry
USA vs. Mexico tonight in Mexico City. Hopefully USA can get out of there with a tie and get a point, but that's wishful thinking.
^^Is Donovan still on vacations?
England vs Montenegro. Either team wins I'm happy. England, obviously because it's England. Montenegro so I can see the implosion of cliff jumpers the following day.
Montenegro has Jovetic and Vucinic. Both of those guys are capable of scoring at anytime so this is going to be a good game for sure. There's a big reason why they're leading the group that has England, Ukraine and Poland.
Anyway, I'm dvr'ing this one and watching the France vs Spain match.
home cooking ref for France so far,
Who's winning Brazil? My stupid channel network is not showing that gamehome cooking ref for France so far,
for the moment 0/0
Spain is dominating, ref didn't call for an obvious penalty against France
