The Portugal-Chile semi match in the Confederations Cup is very entertaining... lots of close calls, but relatively clean play. 0-0 at 74'

 

[dara]

Wow... game went to Penalties, and Chile's Bravo stopped 3 in a row... never seen that.

 

[Kimbo]

Penalto never got to shoot on penalties!!

Penalto never got to shoot on penalties!!

Yeah... he was getting raked on twitter about it. Just remember, Messi blew his penalty against Chile. But at least he had a chance. If you are the best in the world, you either lead off, or you end, but they didn't account for Bravo guessing right 3 times in a row.

I don't understand why there is any underestimation of Chile. They win big tournaments.

Dos a cero, 9'

Could be a rout.

 

[dara]

Well not a complete rout. 4-1 Germany. Mexico gets its sole goal on a golazo by Marco Fabian, but at 89', then Germany returned the favor in stoppage. Mexico was close a number of times, but that only counts in horseshoes.

 

[dara]

USA-Ghana... Dom Dwyer, new American (ex-Brit), scores at 19' in his first game for the USMNT.

Kellyn Acosta adds another @ 52' off a free kick... right outside the box.

Ghana's Gyan answers with a golazo @60'

Ends that way, and first-timers looked good. Gold Cup starts 7 July.

 

[Kimbo]

Final is tomorrow

 

[Kimbo]

Arsenal vs Leicester City 1-1 with just 5 minutes,,,,,good game!!

 

[Kimbo]

Watching Barcelona vs Real Madrid 0-0 so far an exciting game!!

 

[dara]

Ronaldo. ...

But he gets a second yellow for a dive.

 

[Kimbo]

Ronaldo diving???? but he never dives and shoving the referee should get him a few game off too

 

[Kimbo]

6 games suspension to Ronaldo for sexually harrassing the referee!!

 

[dara]

Watched a perfect pass by Christian Pulisic setting up a score for Dortmund in the Bundesliga. He's going to be an international superstar... the one who was promised for the USA.

 

[dara]

USA-Costa Rica WC Qualifier tonight! ESPN at 6:30pm Eastern.

 

[Kimbo]

What a game, it looked like Costa Rica had a home game. Who picked New Jersey which has the largest Costa Rican comunity in the US to be the venue? serious

 

[dara]

This turns Tuesday's match @Honduras as a must win.

 

[ilan]

Sad they got blanked. Tough loss.

Good games this week coming up!!
