No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

wd still love it if the Beeb ran, say, the last night of the Proms with a commentator who clearly hated it and sniped about the twats in union jack hats throughout the show

green and gold australian colors represent green eucalyptus and gold wattle flower (wattle is national flower)

sorry, to replicate the Lawro experience the union jack hats shd be the only bit the commentator likes, and they spend the night moaning about foreign composers they haven't learned the names of and how the violins need to play faster

sorry vegemitegrrl just looking to get some education as the bad games were closing off. Good luck in next year's Eurovision :-)

*cough* Thirty years of Eurovision coverage *cough*

i heard the colours thing was actually from waltzing matilda (green = coulibah tree, yellow = colour of most billabongs these days)

Tbf SV I find it pretty insulting when the Beeb does that, too

baffled that ilxors could be put off by lawro's relentless miserabilism

Everyone is put off by lawro's relentless miserabilism, who actually likes the cunt?

Alas for Peru but the defeats weren't blowouts and Guerrero got his well-deserved goals in the end. Next time, etc.

> England use the colours of the British flag, of course.

there was a grey 'away' kit in '96

The colours of the British soul.

grey was the colour of john majors britain iirc

heraldry is the only acceptable answer:

oh i understand that would be offputting for most, but for ilxors?

ilxors dont extend contrarian exceptions to those who were big in the 80s tbf

Croatia are sending out the B team plus Modric. If Iceland go through I think it’s fair to say the whole tournament is ruined.

Argentina have an uncapped goalkeeper who presumably can’t do any worse.

all these amazing players on the pitch and I’m rooting for marcos rojo

Finally going insane and watching two games at once. But only one with audio.

However tonight turns out it will make me sad on some level

Next time! Cheers, and thanks for the help. Could have been well needed since Denmark decided to play at their absolute worst.

And that's saying something.

sadlol. really sad.

Have it :) :)

class

MESSIIIIIIIIIII

Phew at that.

what a first touch - can watch that all day long.

and second!

Iceland goal would be lovely right now. Annoyed that Croatia are playing something approximating a proper team.

impressive couple of dives from di maria lol

Bums go to Iceland

how can anyone not root for messi to advance, I don't get it

literally some of the worst savagery ever, yes

Argentina really on it, not allowing nigeria time to breathe.

Meanwhile it seems like literally nothing has happened in the other game.

How many changes did Argentina make?

what a pass by Messi

Feels a little bit more performative than effective at the moment tho, all this running around at the cost of a bit of care and precision with the passing and as I type that ohhhhh what a through ball

shit looks bad for the keeper there.

lengthy suspension for that imo

how can anyone not root for messi to advance, I don't get it

Agreed but then you realize Mascherano is still playing for them.

Apparently Messi is the first player to score in a World Cup in his teens, 20s and 30s.

Truly he is the Cliff Richard of international football

this argentina side have been horrible for ages, they're decrepit and look to messi to solve all their problems, nigeria have a promising young team and are overdue a WC victory against argentina

Luckyish yellow

Dropping Di Maria for the last game looks like having been a dumb move but dropping Aguero might turn out to be one as well.

kicked his own leg
