Bicycle Kick (6/30)

The bicycle kick to remember

SUNSETPOINT, WEST OAHU, HI - The underdogs took early leads (#48 3E-Slovakia in 25', #74 3F-Georgia via own goal in 18') but 1C-England's Jude Bellingham's incredible bicycle kick at 94:34 (of 6 minutes added) tied it to send it to Extra Time (where ENG prevailed 2-1) and 1B-Spain recovered to rout GEO 4-1.  ENG scored less than a minute into Extra Time and held on.  SVK lost for the second time after leading at the half 1-0 (the only team to lose while leading at halftime).  While ENG had 16 shots, they only had two shots on goal (meaning, the bicycle kick was ENG's first shot on goal).  ENG is purely in survival mode and face 2A-Switzerland next.  

ESP had 36 shots with 13 on goal while GEO didn't have a shot on goal and just four shots overall.  ESP reverted back to their old self completing 823 passes (to GEO's 281) and having 72% possession.  ESP will face 1A-Germany for another class of the titans.

Sunsetpoint

57 had ESP making the Quarters and 56 ENG.  Thus, 55 went 2-0 while the other three went 1-1.  No change to the top 7 with Toast leading with 72 pts.  No change to the bottom 7 either with Cool Guy and Lukakus Lost Brother tied with 52 pts.  Overall, three have gotten all 4 QFs correct while two have gotten just 1 correct.

Have never driven west before past Kapolei and what a beautiful drive that is.  The road ends at Sunsetpoint (there was an option to hike another 2 miles to the actual westernmost point of Oahu but was flying out in a few hours).  I wore my authentic 2016 Spain away jersey and really like the triangle patterns.
