Don’t see a lot of prime Eden Hazard these days, but that touch and turn right there was prime Eden Hazard.

Still the most terrifying player I’ve ever seen in person. Every time he dropped into the midfield to pick up the ball it felt like he was on the verge of doing something incredible.

Jealous. Would have loved to watch him in person. He was the one that made me a casual fan of Chelsea. His dribbling was just stunning.

I know it is just the homerism in me, but I am beginning to believe we pull the upset tomorrow.

Would be huge if we did. I hope you’re right.

Hopefully a draw or a small damn to keep some hope alive if we don’t pull it off.

Hearing Landon talk about the atmosphere playing South Korea in '02 made me think of the Portugal match, and it got me in the feels.

Go Ghana!

Is it just me or is the camera filming the large field shots out of focus in the Portugal game?

 

[C/O]

I like Ghana’s kits. They are clean with that single star.

No issues on my end

Where is this ref from? Alabama?

 

[NorCalVol67]

My Ronaldo dislike may affect what I saw, but that was a weak penalty call.

And VAR is in Birmingham.

They can win but they are going to need to play with a level of maturity and consistency that we haven’t quite seen yet.. at least not for a full 90. Fingers crossed tomorrows the day we see it

Weird. The wide angle shots look sort of fuzzy. Close up is in crisp 4k.

Just bought an OLED TV for Black Friday. It’s supposed to come on Tuesday. Excited to see how these games look on it.

If I were a Portugal fan, I don't think I would be confident right now.

 

[C/O]

That Brazil squad is stacked. They have Martinelli, Jesus, and Antony all on the bench haha.

 

[C/O]

And then you have Serbia. The team I would least likely want to get into a bar fight with.

 

[C/O]

For those of you more casual fans that don’t like diving and flopping, I would look away most of this game. Neymar is playing.

He’s not as bad as he used to be. At least he hasn’t rolled out of the stadium yet.
