is it possible to just fast-forward life to Sunday/8 PM ET?
Freal. Was talking about the series earlier and realized this isn't a basketball series. This is a boxing match between two huge punchers. After 6 games we have zero point differential and no close games... Last year we had two overtime games in the first three but yet everyone knows this series is better...
It's interesting that such a good story can be told through blowouts! But so many good stories and massive changes and swings make this a great series...
this hooliganism is out of control.. crazy stuff going on in this euro 2016.
dude could have gotten his hand blown off.. horrible.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7HALPvNXa4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7HALPvNXa4</a>
Yea dude it's wild, first the mma trained Russians attacking fans and now some Croatia fans throwing flares. I didn't really understand why since Croatia was up and on its way to securing qualification with 6 points. They ended up tying after that happened. Just wild stuff that I hope security can stifle.
On another note, I've enjoyed copa america more than the Euros so far which I didn't expect. The European squads have just gotten so tactical with their play that they're almost robotic with their approach. No one wants to give up space or opportunities so few risks taken and not many goals.
The copa america on the other hand has had many exciting games with open play where teams are risking more and bringing more excitement out.
Lastly, I just watched Chile pounce on Mexico 7-0 and I have to say I've never been more suspicious with a team as in this match. Mexico has been playing very well as of late and had great momentum plus the crowd on their side tonight.
So first 15min I see the Chilean players pressing hard and making many full effort sprints both to win the ball and to attack. I'm like ohh crap this is making for exciting play, I wonder if they'll get a goal before they tire. They score and I'm thinking okay the plan worked now they can sit back a little. They keep going max effort everything up to the half and score another to make it 2-0. At this point I'm like okay wow I've never seen a team play at that intensity for that long it's quite strange. If I was the Mexico coach I wouldn't know what to say except keep playing your game and they'll tire, wear down, and we can get back to it.
So second half starts and the Chilean players are back at it again with crazy high intensity pressing and runs to create opportunities. They cause turnovers and keep scoring. I dunno man I've never seen anything like that after watching a lot a lot of soccer matches. Their players look quite strong and stocky (sprinter like) but just the fact they kept challenging with crazy intensity for such a long time made it suspicious to me. I haven't seen the fittest of the fit able to sustain that sort of play. Dunno maybe it's great training or I'm missing something but I just had the feeling of this seems off. The one player who stood out is 30yo and just now making appearances for Chile internationally. He was just amazing in his ability to track back and tackle at full speed (played as a attacking winger) then make full out runs to create scoring opportunities on the other hand and even had two goals himself.
I'll see if I read anything about this tomorrow but it just seemed off to me. They do have two superstars who played great as well but just the level of explosive fitness from the rest of the squad seemed unnatural almost. Just in awe.
Nice! seems like you are heading in the right direction.
