I had looked away and was wondering about that dead body. Part of me feels that's a weird injury to suffer through here. Really minor part not worth discussing.

They're probably saving Messi for last minutes and keeping him as injury and fatigue free as possible. Long term and such.

He got hit in the arm with the ball hard enough to break it, apparently.

No, it makes perfect sense. Just kind of weird. Like people drowning in the pool of a luxury cruise liner.

That was an absurdly horrible corner kick.

I can only remember 1 other broken bone in a football match but that was due to an insanely reckless tackle breaking some guy's leg in half.

I expect leg injuries, though.

And concussions.

Concussions happen.

I seem to remember taking a shot to the face once. It wasn't the most pleasant experience.

I played football for one week when I was 6 or 7, I remember playing on a sandy field and at some point during the training I got a ball right in the face, the ball was covered in sand and felt like sandpaper on my face. Despite my dad saying that this wasn't something that happened often I joined a hockey club instead.

edit: Yeah... that's a broken bone...

The most I can remember about my concussions is medics telling me I had concussions. Smiley: laugh

Good save.

Edit: Damn that arm looked like it jellified.

I lost. I laughed.

Still want his teeth violently removed from his skull, though. Maybe made into necklaces for his bite victims. Those choppers are big enough for several pieces of jewelry.

Pretty okay decent French save earlier. Game is putting me to sleep.

Well France doesn't really have much reason to play. Even with a loss it'd take some ridiculous miracle for them not to go through.

And I suppose the opposite could be said about Honduras for that matter...

Poor Honduras.


Also, France vs Ecuador is proving to be entirely unexciting.

I can't see the video unfortunately (stupid work... Smiley: glare). Is everyone lazy today, or is France just playing defense or something?

Nah, they're dominant and Ecuador can't really do squat but France doesn't really have to do anything so they've let Ecuador do the work.

So like France is the person with the laser pointer and Ecuador is the cat.

Basically, except now Ecuador is a cat with 3 legs and the laser is strong enough to burn the cat.

I enjoy this picture.

Ecuador has gotten really lucky in their defense, and that last French shot was **** and a half.

Perhaps the analogy of a cat playing with a mouse is better, they can finish off the mouse but it's just as much fun to poke it a few times and if they forget to finish it off it'll die on it's own anyway.



And France hasn't been particularly sharp on the finishers.
