    I totally expected a tough group stage. The whole team was playing **** in the pre tournament friendlys, the defense was HORRIBLE in ALL matches, also vs Saudi Arabia they had big problems to defend them although Saudi-Arabia looked like **** vs Russia in their first match a couple of days later. I mean the performances of Germany vs Mexico and Sweden were also bad. South Korea was playing so smart today, they deserved the win and Sweden and Mexico deserved to reach the 1/8final.

    Fully deserved exit.

    Seeing as how Ive seen Westworld brought up before... Im going to do a short venting on the finale.

    spoilers maybe....

    Damn.... damn. I was really, really disappointed in the final episode. What a complete fumble of what was becoming a 'top two' all time series for me. Its as if they totally ran out of time to tell the story properly and crammed what should have been three episodes to do, into one. What made Westworld great to me was its patience, its quality, its understanding of realism, pacing, and the weight those aspects give to what they were crafting. The finale pretty much took everything I liked about Westworld and did away with it lmao :lol: The times they added the good dialogue, it was so out of place that it seemed forced, injected, and pandering.

    In the end, its still my third favorite series of all time, it has some awesome scenes, awesome script, awesome concepts, awesome stories within the story, ect. But just for me, the gap between what the finale could have been, and what it was, taints the series for me.

    Argentinia is playing like **** so far, would be surprised if they pass France.
    Uruguay is a dark horse for sure.

    I think Belgium has a decent chance. Portugal also always dangerous. Croatia is another dark horse. Very strong so far. Brazil also better and better from match to match.

    Will be exciting.

    I'm still torn on Carroll-Geraghty and Saucedo-Zappavigna though, those two are genuine 50/50's that no one should reflexively go with the perceived favorite on.

    Haven't thought about the first bout but agree on the Zappa bout. Saucedo went life and death last time out, two swollen eyes and rocked multiple times in the first 2-3 rounds by a journeymen with no defense. Zappa always starts strong, applies a lot of pressure, goes to the body and is good enough to hack it with Roach at Wild Card.

    I fully agree, I initially picked Zappa, but buckled and flipped over to Saucedo, but the doubts creeping through my head won't be quiet, I keep having flashbacks of the pastng he gave to Ik Yang and the absolute hell he put Lipinets through, and can't shake the feeling that Saucedo, who isn't all that better than Yang, may be in store for a similar fate. And I'll contribute to your thread on the match later, after I get something to eat.

    Please do me a favor and actually watch these videos, you'll be shocked and awestruck to your core. I put a lot of effort into this.:lol:

    The True Meaning Of Trump's Slogan Make America Great Again.:deal:


    While the Left and Right in United States and most of Europe have been acting like maniacs tearing each others hair out for the last 20 years over silly divisive social issues, our cities have literally been falling apart, some of our diamond cities have literally been crumbling, like Detroit Rock City, and sad sight that is Chicago, which has been in the grip of a brutal 10 year crime wave, and no one seems to care, because they want to argue over Chik-Fil-A. And while this petty stupidity that is safe spaces, males gazes, toxic masculinity, may seem trivial, but the reality is, its led us to the point of being on the verge of a full blown dystopian society rife with word policing, thought control and social engineering. All directly and indirectly stemming from the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of Chairman Mao Zedong and his Red Guard, we as a society are regressing into totalitarian collectivist nightmare, we're now emulating the very worst culture destroying era in the history of China.


    Meanwhile, while the US and Europe does its best to imitate and implement Red Little Book Think. China having fully embraced capitalism after the reforms of Deng Xiaoping, while the West was sleeping.... has been doing this. (See Below) As a long time fan of Trump, I know this for a fact, he's been speaking about the rise of China and the threat they pose as not a growing economic superpower, but the already preeminent superpower in the world. This collection of vids, that's only 15 of their cities, they have well over 35 not just cities, but Mega Metropolis' Now tell me, how is America and Europe going to compete with this now, much less when they've built 35 or 40 more? I have no problem with China doing what they're doing, and I don't think the US and Europe should try to undermine them or sabotage them, but it would be nice if we at least made an attempt to stop with the petty nonsense, stop fighting with each other, stop uneven trade policies that have been helping to Make China Great, and focus on Making America Great Again, Like.... RIGHT NOW!

    It's almost like the West and China have traded places.

    It has less to do with our culture, and almost everything with America's economic standing in the world, and after watching these vids, I bet you'll get a massive inferiority complex about your countries too. How could you not?

    People in the West looked at films back in the 80's like Blade Runner thinking how cool it'll be in the future when there's cities like that, now we've moved the goalpost to 2049. Because its still a futuristic notion to us, well guess what, it isn't to China, because their Future Is Now.:deal: There is no need for a Blade Runner 2049, they don't need special effects, they can just go outside and film Blade Runner 2018.

    Watch and be an awe of cities most of you have probably never heard of (with the exception of the last well known three) that dwarf London and New York City.

    Name 3 cities in your countries that come close to competing with these, you can't.:deal:

    NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Boston.:lol: Not even close.
