Yeah. Nah. No cups.
Don’t know why. I used to play hockey which is a similar style and length of game, and everyone wore a cup.
Conversely, shin pads are mandatory. 
Lets check in on our old friend JackAstro:
No cups or shin guards in rugby, although I played with a few guys who used the latter.
As MM pointed out, running that much for that long with a cup is… uh, no bueno.
Getting kicked full on square in the unprotected junk es no bueno, also. I guess everyone has their risk tolerance.
Perhaps a codpiece would be a viable option.
I like how he puts an overcoat on but still is wearing his pajamas.
Sunday’s game is being broadcast on ITV.
That’s pretty much the Middle East in a nutshell.
Australia beats Denmark, to earn a place in the Round of 16. They finish tied on 6 points with France, who phoned it in with a 1-0 loss to Tunisia, with France topping the group on goal difference.
Demark’s dismal showing (2 losses, 1 tie) is a surprise; they were considered by many to be a dark horse to win it all. Of the three teams who were fighting to join France in the Ro16 today, Denmark was the only one that was never in the frame for it.
Go the Wallabies!! Eh? Oh…

I believe the preferred nomenclature is “Socceroos”.
Yes, that was the premise of my joke.

Sczcesny is trying to single-handedly win this for Poland.
He may succeed.

That penalty decision was complete bullshit.
Also, the penalty itself was terrible. Still a great save by Sczesny, justice served.

I didn’t understand what the penalty was. I guess they thought he was out of the box?
He’s incredibly good looking too.
Nine saves for Sczesny in the first half.
To put that in perspective, in Fantasy PL, a goalie gets a bonus point for three saves.
Pulisic is suffering from a “pelvic contusion”. How many ways can they not say “bruised balls”?
He says he’ll be ready to go on Saturday.
I think it was the hand to the face
Tim Howard’s record in jeopardy.
