    Touche. I still don't like it ever though. Don't think it is a very high percentage play to score more than when everyone is crashing the box off of the corner and anything can happen. The short corner gets a man on you in a second.

    The short corner can be really effective. Give you such a better angle to get a pass through the box. The keeper can almost never come out for a ball cause it is typically to close to on target.

    So we want Panama right? Put Mexico in 4th place just 1 pt ahead of Honduras for 5th!?!?
  • ohiobucks1
    Yes , go Panama.

    Not a pretty game, but 3 points is 3 points
  • SportsAndLady
    9 points out of 9, in their 3 game home stand. Brilliant
  • Fab1b
    Panama down 2-0 after an absolute bullet from CRC
  • Laley23
    Oh well. CR winning isn't terrible. Essentially makes it a 4 team race for 3rd/4th which helps us.

    The Italy/Japan game was quite entertaining. I can't recall a time I have seen Italy in a 7 goal game and coming out as the winners.
  • ohiobucks1
    Who was the one on here saying Neymar wasn't very good (or was that somewhere else)?
  • Midstate01
    Neymar is awesome but his diving gets old after like 10 minutes.
  • sportchampps
    I wasn't all that sold on Neymar until today. First time I've seen him look great against top talent.

    Bruh, Bro, Brah, he's got like 27 goals in 35 international appearances... What else can he do?
