I am getting tired of seeing players with their arms all over the opposition all the time tho, feels like a lot of it this tournament, not just at set pieces

ref ignored three bookable offences, one mandatory yellow, before allowing a card. cheating brazil, the fans and the game.

And they don't play a system that's built around feeding a goal-poacher so what's the point?

that reminds me though: some good names this tournament. particularly fond of tin jedvaj, alphonse areola, trent sainsbury, beto pimparel, yvon mvogo, breel embolo and andy polo. we've become numb to its power but eden hazard is the only player whose name sounds like a limit break

I'd guess that Hector will be back for the rest of the group.
They're lucky in that they're facing probably two of the three worst teams in the competition next.

Agreed, though Sweden is solely responsible for keeping both Italy and Holland out of the WC. That must account for... something.

it's all espionage
South Korea's World Cup team responded to spying by the Swedish team by swapping their jerseys so that Sweden couldn't tell them apart. Taeguk Warriors coach Shin Tae-yong told reporters Sunday that his team swapped around their numbers after a member of Sweden's coaching staff was caught trying to spy on their closed training session in Austria earlier this month."We switched them around because we didn't want to show our opponents everything and to try and confuse them," said Shin."They might know a few of our players but it is very difficult for Westerners to distinguish between Asians," he added. The Swedish spy first tried to gain intel on the South Koreans by approaching the team's training base and posing as a tourist, although his plan was quickly foiled. He later convinced a local couple who lived near the camp to let him use their house and set up a high performance telescope and video camera."It took a long car journey up the mountains to reach the house, but it was a perfect spot to observe the Korean team’s training," Lars Jacobsson, the Swedish spy, said Sunday according to Reuters. Sweden's coach Janne Andersson has apologized, saying that Sweden analyzes every opponent before a match, but they may have crossed a line."It’s very important that we show respect for opponents, always and in every way. If it has been perceived in another way, we apologize," he said.Still, South Korea seemed unfazed by the incident."All coaches probably feel their opponents are always spying on them," Shin said. "I think it’s perfectly natural that we all try to get as much information on each other as we can."In recent matches between Bolivia and Senegal, only two Korean players wore their usual numbers, Shin added. South Korea and Sweden face off on Monday at 3 p.m. local time.
