Robert Lewandowski did his job. The Polish captain got his team on the board with an early goal. Now it was time for Portugal’s star to answer. We waited and waited and waited until finally, Portugal played a great one-two getting the ball on the left foot of their star player at the top of […]

Lionel Messi and free kicks from inside 30 yards? Danger. Danger Will Robinson. In this case it was danger USMNT, and Messi made them pay for a foul in a big way. Skying a ball that Brad Guzan or any other keeper the world over wouldn’t have stopped, Messi netted one of his best free […]

The United States men’s national team came in to the game against Argentina as a 6-1 underdog and it took all of three minutes to find out exactly why. After the USMNT defense was stretched out it conceded a corner, which was promptly taken short and caught the defense somewhat off guard. It took Messi […]

There may be nothing better in soccer then a good team goal. You know the ones that start from good defending work their way all the way through the midfield and then that killer final ball gets played to the striker left back for the finish? Wait the left back? Yes, left back Neil Taylor was on […]

If you aren’t a fan of the English Premier League then you may know Aaron Ramsey as the guy on Wales that isn’t Gareth Bale. You also may know him as the guy with the seriously terrible hair. As of right now he may also be the guy who won the group for Wales. Taking […]

The story of the match was French manager Didier Deschamps dropping Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann from the starting XI and going with a 4-2-3-1 formation. The move was a disaster as France failed to generate any attack. Pogba was subbed on at halftime, with Griezmann following shortly after as France went back to a […]

Through one and a half games Switzerland were one of the least impressive teams at Euro 2016 in France. They were outplayed in their first match against a 10 men Albania side, and it’s very easy to say they would not have gotten all three points had Albania had 11 men the whole match. To […]

Coming into the match Belgium were number two in the FIFA rankings while many people believed this would be one of the worst Italian teams to ever play at a major tournament. Therefore it’d be fair to assume this would be a pretty straightforward contest with Belgium coming out the victors. Apparently nobody told that […]

The first half was all Ireland. Not only did the Irish get chance after chance against Sweden but they also did a great job of keeping the ball away from Sweden’s most dangerous player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Irish finally got their breakthrough just after halftime courtesy of Wes Hoolahan. The goal seemed to wake Sweden […]

With the expanded 24 team format one win, or three points, could be enough to get you out of the group stage and into the knockout round. That’s what made the Sweden vs. Republic of Ireland game so intriguing. With the other two teams in this group being Belgium and Italy, this game was probably […]
