@robertmays That's probably the politest response they were capable of.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@Ankaman616 Really surprised Bruno wasn't trying lots of risky passes.
For United he's always trying to create and that game he was playing it safe the whole time.

@MC_of_A I saw old Dwight Yorke play for Sunderland in the Championship. It was clear he had more talent than anyone on the pitch but was slower than everyone on the pitch.

Doing that at a World Cup is insane.

@paddypower Why are you annoyed at fans having fun?

Aren't the Ireland fans having fun?

Oh, that's why.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@paddypower I thought I'd seen everything World Cup related in Boston.
But a Glenn Whelan Ireland top was unexpected.

@FrankConniff Why would he say this?
There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

@Ankaman616 Netherlands Japan vibes

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@MC_of_A But will Spurs smash their transfer record to get him?

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@Ankaman616 Your World Cup eat or be eaten post would fit this game as well.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@MC_of_A @coysblue47 He loses defensive positioning too many times at soccer. He'd be awful as a safety.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

The Netherlands are playing with real positional discipline.
Which is the antithesis of Dutch Total Football.

@Ankaman616 If I didn't know the context I would still say Germany.

@Zonal_Marking On one hand I dislike the break up of the game.
On the other hand as a Scotsman in Boston this feels like the surface of the sun.

@GraceOnFootball I know I'm a biased Newcastle fan but Joelinton would make Brazil so much better.
A player who does all the dirty work and lets his teammates shine.

@Ankaman616 If you insist

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@Ankaman616 I love how the official bus to "Boston Stadium" is $90 so the Scotland fans just hired a school bus at $38 per person.

@Ankaman616 The Brobbey and Williams brothers all played youth football for the country of their birth.
Players like that are difficult to sway unless they can't get into the senior team in their early 20s.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@Ankaman616 Mexico to make the semi-finals thanks to some 2002 Korea style referee decisions.

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@rodger You remember New York rats live in those crawl spaces?

It's not worth it

[William Parker @HonestWill]

@BenjaminSolak I'm predicting Romeo Doubs to have a better season than A.J. Brown.

That won't be a bad thing for New England provided Brown doesn't get upset about it.
