Who TF thought it’s a smart idea to announce yellow cards?!
Curaçao good chance.
This isn’t all over yet.
Why don’t they just stop the clock during hydration break? So that we don’t have this artificial add-on time.

Germany can’t handle this intense physical game by Ecuador.

Cote De Ivorie have looked a bit shit since the hydration break.
At the very least it’s not a snooze fest…
I now understand why caicedo is such a physical player. Looks like that is Ecuador football culture

Ecuadoran teams are notorious for just making their opponents work really hard - physical play, and they try to wear the opponent down. They largely train in Quito at about 2850 meters, so you put them in a New Jersey tidal swamp like the Meadowlands and they will run all damn day.

There’s some vigorous mansplaining by the Vidal Sassoon promoter in this replay

Angelo Stiller coming on. Game Changer
I spent a decent amount of time in Quito, and made the mistake of trying to go running once…
Bolivia is the other country (even higher than Quito). I don’t know if you recall the period when Maradon was Argentina manager (2009). In qualifying, he decided that the way to deal with the Andes altitude was fly in the morning of the match, and just play. Bolivia won 6-1, Argentina were absolutely wrecked.
