Colombia went to quarterfinals last time w/o Falcao, and w Quintero still in diapers. I'm picking them for winner this time.

never happen but nothing wrong with a hipster pick regardless

I signed up but the piece of shit erased the first team I agonizingly selected so I gave up before the tournament started. No idea how I even earned points lol.

A friend of ours is in Colombia right now and sent a video of the reaction to the first goal and it was just off the scale.

the revelation of the finals so far for me is that in spanish they call the last 16 "octavos de final" so i am lobbying for english to either adopt "eighth finals" or "octavos" for this otherwise inconsistently named round of the competition.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 25 June 2018 13:41 (five years ago) link
with semis and quarters, octavos makes a helluva lot more sense than 'last 16' tbh. i'm in favor.

I know #URURUS just started, but this really should, and will, be Iran's day.

Iranian fans tried to keep the Portuguese awake, blowing their vuvuzelas at the Portugal hotel. Cron responded by signing ppl are asleep, it seems. Though I've no idea why he taps on the window.

Ignashevich looked half asleep during the anthems and half asleep there.

Salah has his goal.

Nice finish from Salah

Salah should have two. Misses when straight through on keeper
― groovypanda, Monday, 25 June 2018 14:25 (five years ago) link
And an embarrassing miss in the exact same position.
He will get three at least if KSA defend like this.

Great penalty save from the Egyptian keeper
― groovypanda, Monday, 25 June 2018 14:43 (five years ago) link
KSA have another go.

Second penalty to Saudi Arabia

Or not, who knows?
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Monday, 25 June 2018 14:50 (five years ago) link
Can you give a yellow you personally missed the first time after checking VAR for a penalty?
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Monday, 25 June 2018 14:51 (five years ago) link
No heroics from the 45 year old this time. 1-1
― groovypanda, Monday, 25 June 2018 14:52 (five years ago) link
Stopped watching but KSA have had 82% in the second half?
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Monday, 25 June 2018 15:26 (five years ago) link
Wow are Egypt really that bad?
― Matt DC, Monday, 25 June 2018 15:44 (five years ago) link
Russia lose 3-0 and qualify from one of the worst groups of the world cup (the other being England's).

lmao Saudi Arabia scoring in the last min of the game

KSA win at the death.

Unless Portugal can win on goal difference, reckon they'll have a tougher time with Iran tonight (reckon they could even lose that).
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 25 June 2018 16:01 (five years ago) link
So apparently there was a VAR related fiasco in the Saudi Egypt game?
more of a stramash, not quite a farrago imo
― under a mand'rin tsar (darraghmac), Monday, 25 June 2018 16:02 (five years ago) link
yeah that first pen shouldn't have been awarded really. apparently took 3 mins to award the other pen lol.

If Iran win tonight it will be the greatest

the whole non-Portuguese world is behind Iran.

Al Dawsari to be awarded 12 Rolls Royce cars.
Uruguay were not fucking about today. They'd be favourites against Portugual or Iran for me, and have a good chance against Spain.
