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

Not feeling for Egypt or anything lol, and Uruguay grind it out

Uruguay took an age to get going, Egypt didn't do anything much tho

Egypt good until the last third, Salah will start against Russia unless he's less fit than they're letting on, totally understand not risking him today

Sitting that deep is never good, all underdogs to be mercilessly put down

lol questioning whether Maguire or Cahill when Maguire is head and fucking shoulders the best centre half in the England squad

Head & Fucking Shoulders didn't make the squad

yay Saïss is starting for Morocco altho he plays as a centre half for them, anyway that's my team for this game sortedd

xp lol

can't be doing this cooking food malarkey when there is a 4.00 ko, I'm getting a takeout from the chippy today.

brother and sister-in-law coming round for a chinese and Spain-Wolves later

Lovely to hear Mustapha Hadji's name, not thought about him in years

i think about him every day

lovely pronunciation of wolverhampton by the telemundo lad here

immediately smitten with morocco and espesh benatia just denying everyone

Yay vuvuzelas!

this game is three times faster than the previous two. ziyech seems to be in a completely free role

Yep, I know I'm mildly biased but this has been the best game so far

Iran working their way into it as the half went on has set things up nicely

Yeah, excellent so far

Has there been new guidance for refs cos I swear that's at least twice that this clown has stopped play for clearly non-dangerous injuries

Three games in and the Premier League being mentioned at every opportunity is already beginning to fray at my nerves.

I found the "no commentary" option on my sister's telly but what I really want is a commentary where they just tell you who's on the ball and then stfu

Marco van Basten's colonialist bullshit quoted approvingly

... and don't tell you want English club they play for, they have played for, they might play for, they might have played for, they could play for, they should play for etc etc (xp)

... they will play for, they won't play for, they've played against, they might play against...

RTE commentator has just informed us that the national sport of Iran is wrestling

Frustrating lack of quality from both teams

Glad I stopped off in the pub to see that roll.

Football the winner here.

omg og

sickener for morocco

Deserved in the end

oh no

Russian betting syndicate is the winner here.

brutal

Two late late winners in a row seems very unusual. Hope Spain do it later too.

One for the anti-imperialists!

worthy of Des Walker that one

rad for iran, they played pretty well, morocco were fun though. much more interesting result for the group than a draw, cmon carlos

In the 20 minutes of that game I saw, Iran just dived and fouled. Swift one fizzed in the mixer, one OG. Couldn’t be happier for them.

would like to see better footage of the Renard - Queiroz rumble

Renard's managerial record is quite an extraordinary trip for someone only just knocking on 50:

1999–2001 SC Draguignan
2004 Cambridge United
2004 Song Da Nam Dinh
2005–2007 AS Cherbourg
2008–2010 Zambia
2010 Angola
2011 USM Alger
2011–2013 Zambia
2013–2014 Sochaux
2014–2015 Ivory Coast
2015 Lille
2016– Morocco

Red red red red red. Did I mention red.

ffs Spain

Def penalty

blimey!

Bus parked for rest of game.

WELL

come on then lads let's see what you got

Rather.

this is one of the match ups of the world cup with the most villains on the pitch
