No one will probably post here but may as well have a thread.
Iceland scammed Argentina today worse than Chris Roberts scams retarded gamers out of money for a broken game.
Ronaldo is an absolute unit.
Germany probably still wins even though Brazil is the favorite.
-
Both the Netherlands and South Africa failed to qualify, so I have to pretend to support Australia. Worst World Cup ever tbh
-
Watched Nigeria v Croatia tonight, started out supporting the Nigerians as they have 3 Leicester players, but they were woeful and am glad the Croats won.
But it won't be untill Monday that England play, my prediction is; The Algerian bus will drive into a ravine and all the players will be too injured to carry on, they will field a team of ice-cream and hat sellers who will win 1-0
Edit; We are actually playing Tunisia
-
I hope Mexico upsets Germany.
-
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
-
Mexico do upset the Germans, hey.
And then Brazil start good then falter against the Swiss, on top of that Pizza gets an IT crowd quote in, it's all going on here.
-
Well it wasn't pretty but England won, despite a plague of flies and a ref' that awarded a penalty for a guy running into another players arm, but then allowed the Tunisian defence to practice their judo with impunity at corners and free kicks.
Stirling should never be let near an England shirt again and Ashley Young forgot what he does day in, day out for Man'U, could do better.
-
England wins 6-1? What devilry is this? Is it possible they are competitive or will they take a page from the Dallas Cowboys and flame out in even more dramatic fashion?
-
Let’s not get too excited, it was Panama (pop 4M), not known as a footballing nation, but it’s better than the Euro’s where we were hammered by Iceland (pop 340,000), so I will take the fact that it is the only England game in decades I haven’t felt (at half time), we can still fuck this up.
I have to say I hate Latin American football, there was a corner in the Brazil-Costa-Rica match where the ball sailed over the penalty area and left in its wake a sea of writhing bodies, I thought the corner taker had fired a cannon loaded with grapeshot, but instead it was Brazilians who had felt the breeze of the ball and had gone down for a penalty and CR players who had gone down for a freekick, and Naymar, don’t even get me on that stroppy little shit.
The Russians should get some NKVD style Commissars with shiny black coats who can walk on the pitch and execute any player rolling around with less than a bone showing.
Edit; And we still Played Stirling!!!
-
lmao Germany...
In order, I would be happy with the following teams winning the cup:
Argentina
Mexico
Switzerland
Portugal
England
so I have to pretend to support Australia. Worst World Cup ever tbh
tbh you didn't have to for very long at least
-
Likewise Germany, Huh huh.
Not Portugal, can't stand Ronnie. If Belgium gel, I think they stand a good chance, surprised you don't support them with Man' City's De Bruyne & Kompany in there? There again Brazil (not on your list) have four City players and of course England also. Hoping for a good game tonight (our time), Three lions on our shirt da de da de da da.

I mostly just want to see Messi get one, but Agüero is my guy on City anyway, so the top spot was easy. City has (a record) 17 players from 8 teams in the cup this time around, so that would make it a tough criteria to pick a favorite. 7 of those 8 teams are in the round of 16 except Germany (lmao).
-
Well it went to shit. Arsehole Belgians. They didn't need that game. But no, they could cut us a break. I had to watch England lose agin. ffs. We've done our share of losing. Its our turn.

You're confused. This thread is about 'soccer'. It isn't for you.

Ignore him Rama.
It was a bit shit, Dier lived up to his anagram but Alexander Arnold was decent.

Did Japan really go through on sportsmanship? Columbia seems like a very winnable match for England.

Yes.

I think you know what this means (so do Jura and thork)...
-
I’m Afraid I do.
In a carrot and stick world, I think we spare the stick on our footballers. They are paid vast amounts and given the treatment only available to dim royals but when they fail at a task they have trained all their lives for, carrying our hopes, we bitch a bit.
If, since the last debacle/world cup, Rooney had been walking around with Cunt seared into his forehead with a branding iron, this current crop might have a little more focus.

Stoked for Argentina v. France. Hurry up and start >o<
-
Still stoked?
Messi and Ronaldo, going home.

I have to say I felt sorry for the Japanese, I thought they had it for a while but Belgium are through.

I was sad for them. 2-0 up and the stadium was full of happy Jappys. The Belgians are a miserable race of people. I thought the Japanese played very well, but it was just a matter of time before the Belgians figured out they are about a foot taller and started pinging crosses in box for Lukaku and Fellani. I thought Japan's nippy little striker was good. Held the ball up well. Shame, I'd have liked to see them play more.
-
...happy Jappys.

w0w you really are terrible

When is Thork’s Internet leorosy going to block this site?
I’m pulling for Uruguay I think. I’ve always liked good D. And France, because fuck thork (sorry Jura).
-
No fully understand Rama, I hate the England he represents.
Junker! Not Brazil, not after Neymars histrionics no amount of skill is compensation for having that brat on the field.

Did you see the atrocity? Quite frankly, I don't know how he survived, much less continued the match. Can you fathom the agony of being lightly stepped on? On of the "spikes" may have caressed his muscle to the point of slight discomfort. I am just thankful the medics didn't have to cart him off to have a whole battery of tests done. Maybe after you see the x-ray and MRI you will understand want Neymar went through.
-
I find this very weird behaviour.
As a top footballer, the bulk of your earnings isn't your massive wages. Its actually image rights. And that's the image you are projecting to the world?
Sport lends itself to sponsorship easily because you can piggyback the virtue of sportsman and the qualities they represent. Sportsmanship, bravery, courage, skill, teamwork. It is aspirational. What is Neymar projecting? Lying, cheating, fakery, deception. I'm not sure I'd want my brand associated with those qualities. I wonder if it won't hit him in the pocket in the long term.

lmao england
good luck in extra time

Wow Belgium is looking goddamn amazing against Brazil... I hope Brazil is at least able to make it competitive in the next 60 minutes.

Poor Neymar. His antics aren’t working today.

I’m more worried for the state of South Brazilian football. Brazil has been underwhelming the past 2 WCs now. They totally imploded against Germany in ‘14 and now they don’t even make the round of 16? What gives? Too many flopping practices, not enough dribbling?

Poverty breeds good football. Brazil have been one of the BRIC nations for a generation now. They have more money. There are less kids doing keepie-uppies with an echidna in the streets of Brazilian slums. A bloody good recession would improve their football no end.

Guess what muppet booked a holiday (about 6 months ago tbh) where they were completely cut off, no signal and no TV, had to drive to a town and sit in a pub car park watching a small tele' on a stage with a bunch of southern cro-magnons and their feral offspring, but England won, Harry from Leicester City scored and I still don't see the point in Stirling, now we are home and can watch Wednesday in peace.
-
I give up. What muppet?
-
Sup Junker.
De Bruyne scored a beauty to put the nail in Lady-boy neymar's coffin, and for that I will be eternally thankful.

France looked a bit scary last night.
England have a chance later but think we're screwed if we get to the final, France are much better than us.
-
Only England could fuck up bad enough to make me root for France.
Well done, wankers.
-
Fucking useless!
Southgate gambled that the donkeys that hadn't turned up (Young, Ali, Rashford and the bastard Stirling) would come good, and the gamble failed.
We crawled to the semi's on a good draw some inspired actions by a few (McGuire, Tripier, Pickford deserve a mention) and luck, and then crawled out, bollocks.
-
Bollocks, frankly.
We were second best tonight but we had our chances. If only we’d got a second we might have held on.
Would have got shat on in the final, but still. Probably our best chance of getting there in my lifetime (and I do include 1990 which I’m old enough to remember)
-
ugh who gives a shit about france/croatia. lame.

While we’re here, who gives a shit about England/Belgium.
What exactly is the point of the 3rd place playoff? I don’t think I watched in 1990, I certainly don’t know who won. Who cares?
We came 3rd in the World Cup! Yay!
Meh.

I've been lied to. Everyone said it was coming home. Its probably going to France instead. :'(

Oh well, that's that then. France the standout team for me, deserved winners.
Nice to see FIFA have redesigned the trophy in line with latest scientific discoveries...

Do you think the English would have handled it any better, given how they responded to their win against Sweden?

I'm not sure jumping on the beds in Ikea is quite the same as firebombing and looting shops in Paris, Lyon and Toulouse.

Entirely demolishing a bunch of IKEAs across the country is pretty bad. If it was still Coming Home(tm), I'm sure the True Patriots(tm) could have mustered up a few bombs.

That was the semi-final. England would have gone up in flames had they actually managed to win the whole thing (lol).

A fitting pointless end, England burning and listing horribly drifts off into the sunset, never to be seen again, to the fading chorus of “two world cups and to world wars doo dah, doo dah” sang in a mockney accent to the tune of camptown races.

Mate of mine is in the police and I remember years ago him telling me you get just as much trouble after an England win as after an England defeat.
Football fans are, on average, bloody idiots.
