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

itv (forget who) also said that it was yellow not red bcz the player was at least trying to go for the ball not the man

Bilic was clearly really fucked off they showed all that.

kinda don't matter at this point

xpost

Ref suggested it was only a yellow because he made a ‘genuine attempt to play the ball’.

Xp

Slaven Bilic genuinely pissed off at ITV panel laughing at replays of his reactions to the shootout - grumpy git but also OTM

I mean, I guess I should feel some sympathy for Croatia, since we only were at the Euro 92 championship because Yugoslavia got disqualified due to the wars. But we always lose to them, and the one time we beat them, in the qualification to the 98 World Cup, the assholes ended up qualifying anyway and making it to the semi finals :( I so wanted to beat them just once.

fair enough dude, sucks to have a nemesis

loads of ppl I know have played (and scored) against kasper as kids and they are all v fond of him. he was denmark's best player this tournament... should have played for england B-)

the chipper Manc lad had got this...but his teammates hadn't

made the right decision to play for Denmark tbh - it's the family firm after all. plus he's the vanishingly rare example of the son who's (almost) as good as his dad

like, most superstar footballer's sons are spoilt wastemen but he's turned out one hell of a keeper

more of a chipper cheshire chap

wild that one of Russia, Croatia, Switzerland, Sweden, England or Colombia will be in the final.

Are Croatia just perennially overrated because of modric and rakatic? I think probably

they did almost not qualify... still if you were ranking world cup sides by number of players on champions league teams they would be in the top 6 or 7?

Also probably the "best" team on paper outside the usual 4 or 5 contenders and I guess pundits have got to say something when they're asked for their dark horse pick

Colombia being in the final would be dope

My neighborhood will go crazy

i would love that, personally

Rafa Marquez starting for Mexico lol

cant see mexico winning this one

can only hope

cant get a mex jersey in dub ffs

Bleach your hair instead

i wish

Up for this one. Come on Mexico

You can frizzle it later and tell everybody you’re Valderrama

thiago is so gorgeous but I hope he eats the goals today

Ha, have been contemplating El Pibe rug rethink myself

Lozano hattrick plz

btw i dremt a documentary came out that blamed all these WC upsets on me

Honestly can’t believe anyone in the USA roots for the USMNT over México in the first place

really?

I mean you must have missed Mexico's dire 2015 Gold Cup performance

looking good so far tho

I have missed 100% of soccer mind you I just find it sort of distasteful to root for the USA when el mundo hispanohablante is out there

Who what?

sarcasm, btw

First 15 minutes of this has been better than all of yesterday

from what I've seen so far brazil look pretty useless with gabriel jesus politely trotting around from ineffective position to ineffective position, waiting for something to be dropped into his lap

samba vs sombrero in samara sez rte man

im in a pub full of Brazilians its good but itll be better when they lose

mexico want a perfect chance and itll kill them

Good to see Mexico keep attacking from the LEFT

xp aye, wasteful

julio is on holiday in nashwan's HEAD

mmmfff did well to withstand that burst

Seems like Brazil have a habit of persisting with players who just aren't performing, the last WC it was the Old Fred, this time it's Gabriel Jesus.

this is as open as I was hoping. the goals will come. agree with Mexico waiting too long for uncontested opps

Brazil always have these guys tbf

Brazil terrible but luckily for them Mexico are pretty toothless. This isn't a good game

Suddenly Jesus rises

This is a dece to good game that could get great btw
