Respect to Congo, but this game realistically could have been 6-2 at this point without some incredible saves and goal line clearances.

 

[Bigman38]

Congo just couldn't threaten them in the second half.

Mexico v England will be a must see game.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Alright England. Now go beat Mexico.

 

[jdoggivjc]

England gets rewarded with for all intents and purposes a road game at el Azteca.

Like how the co-anchors were giving Rebecca a round of applause.

Second best sports studio show after Inside the NBA IMO. Zlatan and Henry are so good together. Especially on US match days when Lalas isn’t around to ruin the vibe.

Someone needs to throw a ton of money to have Zlatan do MLS. Having a good entertaining studio show would do that league wonders. Especially with the momentum the national team is giving soccer in this country.

Personality-wise I don't mind Lalas; it's just that it's clear he has no idea what he's talking about most of the time.

African teams continue to be problems for opponents in this World Cup

I only tuned in for the last few minutes of the half and saw the score. Has it been evenly matched, or has Senegal looked better for the most part?

Senegal has mostly been the better side. Should be up 2-0, still not sure how they didn't put that chance away early in the game.

I'd say Senegal looked better for the most part. Way more possession and threats.

 

[Bigman38]

With our back 4 I didn’t want anything to do with Doku, but Senegal looks pretty sharp today

 

[vdub4cy]

When did Scott Drew start coaching soccer?

 

[jdoggivjc]

That escalated quickly

 

[psycln11]

WTF was the Senegal GK doing on the 2nd goal?

 

[cycloneman003]

I don’t think I’d say there is a preference between the two as a possible matchup next round. I’d just say make it go to extra time! The more tired legs the better with just 4 days off before next round.

Lukaku just refusing to let his international career end. Love his energy down the stretch.

I would love for Lukaku to use all his energy in this extra time. Having him not so fresh would be ideal.

Meh, you get to the round of 16 and don’t have to face one of the favorites to win it all you feel pretty good about it.

 

[jdoggivjc]

that is clearly going to be a penalty kick for Belgium.
