OT: Soccer thread

[Preston]

England was giving up a lot earlier on but when they went into a shell, it required a whole heck of a lot of creativity that Mexico just doesn't have.

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah. Just hoping for a bounce (get pucks on net) instead of creativity

Made worse by the fact that they don't really have a target man who can win those against bigger British defenders.

I guess we're all Norwegian now.

When I’m a nuetral I choose the country with the better food… so Mexico was the obvious choice tonight but rooting for Norway will be hard

Norway vs England was the world cup for fucking shit food finals a few years ago so you'll be in for a treat.

It showed their deficiencies tbh. They just don't have the elite skill up front to take on defenders, create space, overloads, etc. so they spent the entire time putting mediocre crosses in from less than ideal angles.

Mora might have that talent, but he’s just a kid.

England will beat Norway.

We'll find out before the next world cup, kid has been linked to most of the big european clubs. The buzz in Mexico is that he'll go to England. He turns 18 before the winter transfer window and can't go until then.
