Djoker on to the final. Another entertaining five-setter between these two.

Re: Wimbledon Thread

Amazing recovery from Anderson to extend the rally after that slip up. Could finally have a turning point here with three break chances.

Re: Wimbledon Thread

Tournament organizers should have known this was coming. Have Nadal-Djoker go on first and let these two guys ace-and-hold each other until Saturday morning.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Got caught up in a meeting during the extra time and was away from the internet. Now I gotta get caught up on the England trolling. :L The road Croatia had to travel is insane. Three wins in the group stage, including a 3-0 ass-whooping of Argentina, and then gutted out 270 total minutes (plus two P...

Wow, 1-0 England 5 minutes in. On another set piece, of course.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

I know a few people with UK ties and that #ItsComingHome tag has been annoying since the knockout round began. Put an end to this, Croatia!

Re: Wimbledon Thread

Any chance Djokovic contends? He's been on a dry spell for a while. This tournament’s been the best he’s looked in a couple years. We’ve had a few anticlimactic slam finals as of late, so it’s good to see him back in a form that could give Fedal a run. Hopefully the US Open is where we get another ...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Belgium will be wondering what if they had a couple chances to hit that free kick from outside the box on those missed calls. Interesting to see what happens with them 4 years from now. KDB and Hazard should still be good for one more run, but every field player that started in this game outside of ...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

It’s a shame this Belgium-France matchup couldn’t come in the final game. Both these teams are so entertaining to watch. The talent gap between the two sides of the bracket has been really noticeable throughout the knockout round and in this first half. Belgium controlling possession and getting in...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

After a World Cup full of upsets, France-England is probably the closest we're going to get to a "glamour" matchup based on name recognition of the countries involved. But Belgium-Croatia would be interesting in its own right since we'd be assured of a first-time winner. Two countries with...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Russia's run is done. Great extra time period. Looked like Croatia was running on fumes, but they found a way to survive. Modric and Rakitic should test England better than any full-strength team they've played so far, but who knows how much Croatia still has left in the tank after two straight 120+...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Croatia was a few minutes away from a semifinal date with England and Russia slips in a tying header off a free kick. Croatian player committing that handball must feel like a dummy. Russia's luck has been fucking unreal.

Re: Tyler Honeycutt shot dead.

Only recall that name since he was on one of those forgettable UCLA teams after Westbrook and Love left. Apparently bounced around a few leagues after a brief stay with the Kings.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

2-0 Limeys on their way to the semis—after beating Tunisia and Panama in the group stage, Colombia in PKs without their top player and an offensively-challenged Sweden team. Pickford got a hand on a couple of well-hit shots. But hoping Croatia can get by the Ruskies so we can see what England can do...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Make that 8 of 10 goals coming from set pieces or penalties for England. Sweden was hoping to defend and keep the game scoreless as long as they could. But now they have to play from behind for the first time in this tournament.

IF Brazil loses my Bracket is toast haha. Down goes Brazil. Looked like Neymar's diving leading up to this game was part of Brazil's undoing. Ref wasn't buying any of it, actual contact or not. Anything can happen in a one-off, but Belgium vs France could be the de-facto final. Has game of the tour...
