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

stats don't lie baby

Pope splits World Cup between Spain and Portugal.

“The paths to scoring a goal are infinite and they’re all valid,” he said

Didn't really miss anything with last nights match did I

it was like watching Stoke vs W Brom in disguise!

with more ropes and gags

as for the football

'ronaldo produced one of the great world cup performances', 'one-man show', blah blah

fucking nonsense from the bbc as per

it's certainly the most complete performance I've seen from him in recent seasons. Much more involved than he typically is for Madrid

won & scored a soft penalty, won & scored a soft free-kick. basically a scoundrel

Ur right he was shit lol

it is not like he orchestrated open play particularly brilliantly - spain were much better in that regard

idk i hate him, so i'm based

it is not like he orchestrated open play particularly brilliantly - spain were much better in that regard

no shit, Portugal played on the counter

It was not a one man performance, for sure.

Refreshing to see somebody hate Cron

this is prob an opportunity for growth for u lj

Looking at Portugal last night we were kind of staggered and amused that Neves and Jota weren't deemed good enough for that squad, maybe Costa and Cavaleiro too. My one question mark with Ronaldo is that the team is still built around servicing him in a way that is ceasing to be healthy and at some point they'll have to bite the bullet and start to move on.

Kinda love everybody on last night's hate list tho, was arguing with my bruv about Costa's first goal and tbh the "did he jump all over the defender" decision was 50-50 but I love the guy so I don't care

everything about that Costa goal was brilliant

The only way we learn anything about France today is if they fail to batter Aus imo

xp as I said last night it was a supremely Costa-esque goal

I'm just shamelessly Mooy-watching today, and hoping for an upset.

"Griezemann has some dead hair"

- my son

that insignificant 75th min, no impact cameo by Sobhi yesterday for Egypt, was the first time one of our players has turned up in a WC group game since '62, shit stat fans!

Drogba's bald head looks like it's been CGI'd on

well this is gonna be fun

I'm just shamelessly Mooy-watching today, and hoping for an upset.

not happening but at least the conditions allow for maximum glare from the Mooy noggin

he wears it so well!

Oh fuck, Lawrenson

I'm just shamelessly Mooy-watching today, and hoping for an upset.

Is Rogic playing?

Yep.

PUT ARZANI ON
PUT ARZANI ON
PUT ARZANI ON

(I will repeat this to the 80th minute - and get Cahill instead.)

Cahill's still playing!

Oooooooh

nearly!!

Cahill's still playing!

Fresh from the Millwall squad for the Over-75's Five-a-Side Football Championship.

lloris first save since feb

drogba looks magnificent

it's disgusting that australia is allowed in the wc

I dunno are they as bad as ireland 1990 and we had legit talent so

we have no legit talent but

i know but

paul pogba is in danger of becoming a bit of an enigma for mark lawrenson

unpick that one out

mooy mooy mooy
how do you like it

some will say thats good from mooy

i, resident campaigner against risking the opponent, say it was over the ball

whatever you say, Walter !

I, part-time soccer follower from 'straya, say harden the fuck up champ -- and cut out out the diving ya soft bastards

mental disintegration atm - when will one of the french snap

enigmatic pass from Paul there for sure

hatred update: i don't hate any of these players

hernandez seems like he might be a twat
