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

heraldry is the only acceptable answer:

oh i understand that would be offputting for most, but for ilxors?
― ogmor, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 17:15 (eight years ago)
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.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 17:22 (eight years ago)
Argentina have an uncapped goalkeeper who presumably can’t do any worse.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 17:28 (eight years ago)
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.

Next time! Cheers, and thanks for the help. Could have been well needed since Denmark decided to play at their absolute worst.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:05 (eight years ago)
And that's saying something.

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.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:19 (eight years ago)
impressive couple of dives from di maria lol
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:20 (eight years ago)
Bums go to Iceland

how can anyone not root for messi to advance, I don't get it
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:21 (eight years ago)
literally some of the worst savagery ever, yes
― Cueva mutilation (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:23 (eight years ago)
Argentina really on it, not allowing nigeria time to breathe.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:25 (eight years ago)
Meanwhile it seems like literally nothing has happened in the other game.
― womp womp that sucker (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:26 (eight years ago)
How many changes did Argentina make?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:26 (eight years ago)
what a pass by Messi
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:27 (eight years ago)
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
― Cueva mutilation (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:27 (eight years ago)
shit looks bad for the keeper there.
lengthy suspension for that imo
― under a mand'rin tsar (darraghmac), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:28 (eight years ago)
Agreed but then you realize Mascherano is still playing for them.
― womp womp that sucker (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:28 (eight years ago)
Apparently Messi is the first player to score in a World Cup in his teens, 20s and 30s.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:29 (eight years ago)
Truly he is the Cliff Richard of international football
― Cueva mutilation (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:30 (eight years ago)
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.
