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.

I'd like to see EJ sit and bring on Holden

Then bring on a defender and move johnson to Zusi's spot

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.

Who was the one on here saying Neymar wasn't very good (or was that somewhere else)?

Neymar is awesome but his diving gets old after like 10 minutes.

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?
