Was this considered an upset?

 

Iceland has never come out and really beaten a good team, they just sit back and pounce on mistakes and then stall the last 70 minutes and move on without a good reason why

 

Nobody can really tell how good teams are from Africa, Cameroon a few times has gone far into the playoff rounds....

 

It's a surprise, but finally Iceland has been exposed

They almost pulled out a win!

 

 

a few co-workers from there were way into it, the first time I've seen them care about a sporting event

 

so do you want Portugal to face Russia or Uruguay in the first elimination game???

 

 

 

 

 

 [Portugal is NOT losing to Iran, don't worry all that much]

They really upped their game in the second half, I thought. With the chances they got, that game could've easily been 4-0.

 

 

you can't force the better team to try their best....

Loving VAR. Great move and I hope it becomes the norm in all high level matches.  Cleaning up a lot of controversies.  

 

But replay causes a different and worse problem when relied on, the NBA had four vital and bad situations by relying on replay in the semi finals and finals

 

 

 

 

I rarely cheer for a team or athlete, I just want to see the best play, and I’m routinely ticked off by the inconsistency of use and how they don’t call what is clearly there. Or they have ready excuses to ignore what is clearly there.

Its been perfect in the World Cup. Can’t speak to the NBA usage.

Good work Mexico, they attacked  Germany preemptively and earned the spot in the next round

 

 

Best to remove all doubt playing your best in the second hardest group

 

 

I love that the play by play guy said everything  is going well, 5 minutes  to go, no homophobic slurs....

German-Sweden match was excellent.  Germany was behind most of the game.  Sweden got jobbed out of a penalty kick, and played great.  Chippy play.  All 3 goals excellent.  Game winner game scored with less than a minute of stoppage time left.  Just an incredible strike!  Sweden-Mexico will be excellent game, and probably an elimination game.  Wednesday should be fantastic soccer

Especially, because it will determine where Brazil and Germany will end up in their respective group. It is pretty likely that both make it into the next round; but if one of them ends up at #1 of their group and the other one at #2 (a scenario which is rather probable), the Brazil - Germany game that many pundits expected as the final will be played in the round of 16 instead.
