Depends on how you get it. This will be 2 or 3.

Woooooow Pepe. Disgraceful.

Maybe the US can actually make it out of the group lol. First time I really believe we can.

Honestly, that shouldn't have been red. It was semi headbutt. Muller should have been penalized for flop.

I'm still nervous as f***, I was at that Sweden game where we couldn't win despite a 4-0 lead.

"A bit" excessive? That was a blatant flop and a beautiful one.

Not offensively.


their first two goals came from australia's defense's individual mistakes. it wasn't a dominating performance you'd expect against a team that might have the worst defense in the world cup.

Headbutting is sure fair play.

No wonder you guys love the likes of Melo and Lugano.

What red card? Guy doesnt even touch him on the pitch. He accidently hit him and muller acted like train hit him.

How about penalty? The guy touched his arm and Gotze threw himself to the floor like he got shot in the head. Smh

This is precisely why i am glad Portugal is not a nation with a strong lobby. All correct decisions, but if the ref had simply made these calls against France, his top level career would've been over.

I'm actually liking it. We would lose vs Germany anyway but now finally we will have a fire under our ass for the next few games
