this, I've been using the Nike Elite soccer socks for basketball (mainly to be different 

) and I can definitely feel the difference as opposed to plain ole Nike crew socks

It was especially bad with running socks since they were meant to be low-grip.  

Thought technically, shouldn't footy socks and bball socks have similar feel cuz the movement is relatively similar?

Ugh. I can't even defend these dudes anymore man lol

 

[Sinner]

Ths is great

Props to Ronny for being cool about it... 

 

[zeroregret]

This games needs RQ already bruh. Portugal is so stagnant without him

It depends if he has his head right.  If he's just going to spam tricks and lose the ball or give up possession then that's pointless.

If Germany wins tomorrow, does the winner of this match go to confederations cup next summer?

I wish we had the opportunity to counter attack, just give me one before the game is over.

 

[dragicon]

Ths is great

Someone wake me up when this is in extra time

Playing out almost exactly like the rest of Portugal's matches

Ronaldo's reaction in the team photo is hilarious. I dont know how people can hate on ronaldo after seeing stuff like that.

 

[heggsy]

Whole tournament has been awful

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Ths is great

Whole tournament has been awful

I wonder why, seriously..are players tired from an exhausting club season? Idk only explanation I can think of

2nd half about to be suspenseful.

From an entertainment standpoint, I definitely agree.

Tactically, it's impressive that all these small nations have been able to work as a unit and defend to hang with the bigger nations. But from an entertainment one, the larger more talented nations have been completely unwilling to take initiative and play aggressively. Teams look completely ok with and look like they half-expect to wind up in extra time.

Adding the extra teams. Made the group stages more boring because it allowed the weaker countries to park the bus for the entire 90 in hopes of getting 3 straight draws to advance as a 3rd place team with 3 points.

It just happens sometimes. Same way some World Cups are better/more entertaining than others.

Edit: vtotheinay has a point. Adding extra teams definitely played a role also.

Agree with this, I think it set a bad precedent for the whole tourney that's carried through. But it can't be the only factor. For whatever reason it seems that it's not just the smaller countries playing like that, the better ones are playing with small country conservative tactics too.

This **** going to penalties.

Might as well fast forward the rest of the game :x

 

[d nice]

Bout to record it and head to the gym. I already know Portugal gonna win it.

 

[rolaholic]

Hoping Bale can pull a rabbit out of his hat

 

[Armada]

Has Ronaldo switched to short sleeve at the half of every match?

 

[kanyeezy411]

Why is this game so boring?
I mean it's Portugal, but still...

 

[rolaholic]

Gotta be some sort of superstitious thing for him

 

[eracism]

I think Ronaldo needs to start mushing these fans. It's starting to look like a casual thing now.
