Round of 16 Matches

The fact that Warren Barton still is somehow employed at Fox tells me everything I need to know. Grade A+++ idiot.

Ha is he? Reminds me of an old joke when he was at Newcastle in the 90s

"How many Warrens play for Newcastle?"
"One?"
"No two, Warren barton and Peter Beardsley. Warren ugly get"

 

[Sharpies volley]

Not sure what my commentators are laughing about (in Spanish) but they are having a great time. lol

It's not that guy on the memes with no teeth is it ?

Who is winning this one Spain.

 

[Pootsy]

Who is winning this one Spain.

I'd say so Carlos but Morocco could surprise the Spanish on the break.

I'd say so Carlos but Morocco could surprise the Spanish on the break.

Reckon Morocco might sneak this, Spanish might not like their high tempo style, want too much time on the ball, I think it will be a decent game.

I had no idea it was this bad!

Fox Sports’ US World Cup coverage is an unmissable abomination | Aaron Timms

The broadcaster has offered up a feast of gaffes, stupidity, and unconquerable on-air awkwardness for American viewers to enjoy

www.theguardian.com

Haha that was a brutal yet largely accurate assessment in my opinion. The author of the article calls their coverage an abomination lol which I can concur. I thought they were a little rough on donovan but otherwise spot on. I loved the part where they theorize lalas gets paid by the decibel lol there is plenty of cringe present in the fox coverage

 

[Curtis]

For Fox he ticks two important boxes.

1) a former footballer
2) he's got an English accent

Expert him. FFS he only knows what he happened to glean off BBC minutes before going on air. Such a massive fraud that likely most Americans can't see through.

Kinda surprised Ian Darke is working for Fox. Big fan of him.

Ian is definitely one of the few bright spots of their coverage. Respect him so much as a commentator , very few for me now I really liked arlo white, then he sold out to work for saudi Arabia's sketchy golf tournament

Go Morocco kill a giant today

I doubt it, but I hope you’re right. Last chance for a real underdog to keep going. Switzerland would sort of count I guess but it’s still UEFA

Yes mate.

Fancy morroco myslef

Got 20 on at 5s

 

[Professor Toffee]

Ref a bit soft on Morocco already

 

[Drico]

Sterile Spain will need to be very careful today. Too much of the style over content nonsense that they so often specialise in will come back to bite hard. They've got to turn possession into goals rather than pained expressions of smiling regret from Dani Olmo.

The term "all foreplay, no penetration" could have been invented for these lads.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Come on Morocco!

 

[Walken]

Tuchel wasted Ziyech
