Lol, you're so mad. This will only make it more fun in two days when Tunisia wins.

I wouldn't assume he's supporting England btw.

Shit Nigeria were absolutely woeful. Croatia not up to much tbh.
Looking forward to GER-MEX today.

Croatia are a QF team once they beat Denmark.

yes - a debate about football.

thought schmeichel did v well yesterday and kept denmark in it, a good bramhall boy

How do you think Croatia gets Denmark in the round of 16, xyzzz? You think they're better than Argentina?
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 10:58 (five years ago) link
And yeah, without Schmeichel it could have been a quite big loss.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:01 (five years ago) link
more like without Schmeichel it would have been the big Lossl pulling you out of the shit!
― calzino, Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:13 (five years ago) link
did Nigeria have shots i can't remember?
― yes Ndidi (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:26 (five years ago) link
Well, I remember one, but on their own goal.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:30 (five years ago) link
allegedly 12/2 on target according to beeb stats, but I think Subasic still found time for a bit of leisurely crocheting.
― calzino, Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link
Croatia, Argentina or Iceland could beat Denmark in the 2nd phase Fred - you going down!

Lol, you're so upset. But Peru, Australia and France could beat us as well if we don't have as much luck as we did yesterday. I'm not sure there's a single team at this tournament we couldn't lose to. Perhaps Saudia Arabia. I'm just saying, I'd really really like to beat Croatia. Really don't like that team.
Rooting for Costa Rica in twenty minutes.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:44 (five years ago) link
i've given up rooting for anybody already, it seems to jinx them
might root for England tomorrow
― yes Ndidi (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:45 (five years ago) link
Serbia should win this.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Sunday, 17 June 2018 11:55 (five years ago) link
European home advantage a factor so far?
― A Warning to the Karius (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:04 (five years ago) link
costa rica do look proper shit. we've yet to see a truly good performance from a non-european team
― ogmor, Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:11 (five years ago) link
It would be kinda insane if a European team wins for the fourth time in a row.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:17 (five years ago) link
That is, wins the World Cup. Only other time European teams have won even twice in a row is Italy in the thirties.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link
the WC is a time to recalibrate prejudices and allegiances and I find myself getting behind this likable bunch of lads even though they're from serbia
― ogmor, Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:19 (five years ago) link
love will serbia

think CRC look fine tbh
― tired culché (darraghmac), Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link
yeah, missed 20 mins while i was having my dinner but they've got goals in them
― yes Ndidi (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 17 June 2018 12:53 (five years ago) link
Nothing in it at the moment really, milinkovic-savic looks like he might somewhat live up to the hype.
Always think of serbian teams as being a bit flaky, no-one doubts their ability brian its their hearts that there are questions over
― A Warning to the Karius (Bananaman Begins), Sunday, 17 June 2018 13:02 (five years ago) link
sorry i think youll find that was trevor
― tired culché (darraghmac), Sunday, 17 June 2018 13:04 (five years ago) link
crc no way near as hopeless as they looked in their friendlies once serbia's fierce start petered out
― ogmor, Sunday, 17 June 2018 13:12 (five years ago) link
woooof

Cracking free kick

Was just about to say they should be getting Ljajic on the free kicks.

Bit of aggro, that's what this WC has been missing.
― We can be herpes (Tom D.), Sunday, 17 June 2018 13:50 (five years ago) link
Seven and a half minutes overtime. Wonder how that ranks on an all time list.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 13:55 (five years ago) link
I'm expecting at least one match with 10+ minute extra time in this tournament.
― We can be herpes (Tom D.), Sunday, 17 June 2018 14:01 (five years ago) link
issue is ppl treating overtime like some magical thing
its just time
― tired culché (darraghmac), Sunday, 17 June 2018 14:04 (five years ago) link
issue is people calling it overtime
― thomasintrouble, Sunday, 17 June 2018 14:07 (five years ago) link
Whether you call it 'most overtime' or 'longest match' it's kinda the same thing, though.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 17 June 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link
that one hasn't even gone into Fergie-time territory, 7 mins no biggie.

I think it’s a very good team but nobody I’ve spoken to in Mexico agrees.

such a glorious anthem. they'll probably get absolutely mullered but let's have a game eh?
