If they don't advance, it will be a huge let down. Too much talent to not win. Well the sad part is although the Peruvian players are very good and highly skilled they are not considered a "talented" team. They have the 3rd lowest Player value of all the teams in the world cup. A lot of their players deserve better salaries IMO. Was hoping they'd show it, and I think they did as they really did dominate the slight favorite Denmark. It is what it is, but it's not over yet! Always a chance lol! https://www.statista.com/statistics/865737/value-of-the-national-teams-at-the-2018-world-cup/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Gator that back heal attempt was so wicked. The spin he got was superb. Peru also had a pk airmailed. I really hate that stutter step move. At times I think it fakes out the shooter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to try and use the look one and lean one way and then go oppo upper or lower right side or vise versa. Unless I hated the goalie in which case it was head hunting time.

Knowledgeable and a vicious sense of humor and the accent just adds to the entertainment factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Close battle so far . Gator, well done today... you caught up fast. Two more games for 16 total and first of three games for ea. country. As long as Poland wins tomorrow I'll be happy no matter the other results. @Rippers and @954gator, let me know your W-L records every 16 game round... currently I'm 9-5 (predicted Iran-Morocco draw wrong, Germany loss and Argentina, Spain and Brazil draws also losses). I've got Poland, Russia and Colombia win predictions (hope Salah can play for Egypt vs Russia, don't mind losing... would rather see a star play and entertain us).

Rippers Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I'm 6-8, but got a couple of scores correct. That is the only reason I am hanging in there. If it wasn't for that late goal in the England game today, I'd be 7-7 with another correct score. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire group took a change 3 minutes into Colombia Japan with a blatant hand ball to save a goal and immediate red card for Colombia and being down 1-0, but Colombia executed a free kick goal by a lefty rip low that crossed the line by about a foot. 1-1 at the half. Down a man, Colombia is at 48 pct possession and hanging tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
