..... Can someone tell me if Neymar is a world class PK guy?

I'm late to the game on this. Short answer is no, Neymar is just a crybaby prick, but I assure you that he thinks he's the best penalty taker/soccer player on earth. He's arrogant, selfish, and has not won enough to justify his attitude.

This puts a stain on the entire World Cup for me. No doubt in my mind at all this man was murdered.


I just can't believe this...... Grant Wahl is an icon.


Before I get too deep in conspiracy , he did talk about feeling sick on his own podcast "“It had gotten pretty bad in terms of like the tightness in my chest, tightness, pressure. Feeling pretty hairy, bad."

Poisoned. He was AT the Holland-Argentina game WORKING and collapsed. Dropped dead on the spot. Unless he threw a PE because of the recent lengthy travel, this looks really, really bad. Especially because he was "detained" for half an hour during a group stage game and denied entry to the stadium because he wore a pro LGBTQ shirt. Received death threats. Just posted an article blasting Qatar's human rights record and treatment of migrant workers. Started to not feel well just after said detention. There's a good chance not all is what it seems here.

that's a stretch to say no doubt. But I certainly agree there's a chance. Although, why would he be targeted just for wearing a rainbow shirt a few weeks ago.

He apparently had bronchitis like issues didn't he in the week leading up to his death? That would put a strain on the heart.

Interested to see what comes of it though. Sad situation. Rip.

He also wrote a scathing article about the host country the day before he died

Who knows? Not like the Qataris to be that subtle. They’d behead him then issue a statement saying he’d cut his own head off while combing his hair :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

If his family, including his wife, a well known infectious disease specialist and faculty at a large regional medical center thinks something is amiss here, I'm going to believe them. To me, the red flags here are about as subtle as a Scotsman that just hooked his tee shot into a water hazard.

I don’t know of the guy or his history. Had never heard of him. Just the article that he posted. Poisoning is more of a Russian tactic. In the Middle East people just tend to disappear.

On a completely different note it’s interesting how holding the World Cup in a place not exactly known for its human rights record has seen a complete eradication of any football hooliganism. Just shows you that even the hooligans know not to push their luck.
 
In case anyone lost count yesterday there was a grand total of 17 yellow cards issued…

Worst ref ever! He is a total shitshow.

Only thing worse then watching that shitshow of a Ref, is now listening to Ali Wagner blather on in the Mor/Por game.

I literally have to turn the sound off - she is absolutely unbearable. Just blathering on and on. How does she get selected to commentate a WC semi final - it’s absolutely criminal.
 
Absolutely no idea who that is. We have our own terrible pundits to endure.
You are better off being spared - lol. The only good soccer commentators for the US are imported from the UK, the rest are never were, has been relics from the US soccer “golden years” mid-90’s.

Ali Wagner is a former U.S. women’s player who has less personality than my cat’s litter box.

Just painful.
 
Fun fact. Croatia have only led in a game at the World Cup for a grand total of 46 minutes....it was against Canada.....and they're Semi Finalists.
I love the way they play, they are a machine that just wears their opponents down.

Well deserved semi-finalists!

They gave some mad stat last night about how many times they’ve won a game after conceding the first goal. They don’t know when they’re beaten. Smaller population than Scotland. We could learn so much from their attitude.
