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

nice!

It's OK I can't see football having any political consequences in the Balkans

Serbia pure shithouses there, did nothing with the lead

The Sporting Spirit

always nice to see Xhaka and Shaqiri on the same scoresheet

They'll be dancing on the streets of Pristina tonight.

If Kosovo had been recognised by FIFA and UEFA sooner, Shaqiri and Xhaka might not be playing for Switzerland got to laugh aint you

ay lads

which replay should I watch:
Nigeria Iceland
or Sebrbia Switzerland?

Serbia v. Switzerland

ty :D

otm

Probably wouldn't bother with either if you're watching in full, but don't sleep on the goals from Nigeria Iceland. I keep watching the first Nigeria goal and it gets better and better.

theres a musa loose abo0t this hoos

Serbia v Switzerland was the best match in the tournament since Portugal v Spain.

better in some respects

Indeed, no billing and cooing over various superstars from commentators and pundits for a start.

BBC Commentator alluding to how pleased Shaqiri would be to score a winner against Serbia without quite having the stones to explain why for non balkan headz

Penaltyball!

Maybe if defenders stopped doing so many fouls in the box, there would be fewer penalties

Anyway, we all want at least one 8-0 this World Cup

Is Mertens the only Serie A player apart from Niang to have scored?

kolarov!

I love this yellow kit

Aha, Kolarov. That’s right.

Good finish.

I'm at work so following this on the BBC site:

Eden Hazard, arriving late like a young David Platt, meets the cross well but shanks his connection and it's a poor finish.

well now

Excellent!

tunisia seem to be playing further up the field this game, obv to mixed results so far. but looks like they decided they need to win this one.

Martinez is still picking Boyata so I don't blame them for their optimism.

8-1 then

ah not a good touch from Lukaku

Lukaku showing shocking lack of respect to tunisia by not trying to blag a penalty there

Rooney-esque first touch from Rom just now.

Appearing effervescently like a young Mick Channon.

Engrossing stuff from the BBC live reporting page:

It took Terry Butcher 35 minutes to buy washing powder, milk and biscuits yesterday. He was wondering about which washing powder to buy and asked a Russia lady, who wasn't interested.

lol Lukaku - could've so easily had a hat-trick

Lol

and so he has a 2nd

Golden Boot incoming.

Maybe Lukaku could sit out the Eng game. Needs rest.

is that zabaleta enchanting my wife on bbc, like a healthy mark strong

Belgium performing as well as any team in the tournament so far?

Zabaleta seems like a lovely chap but he's not very interesting.

Well, yeah, but against Panama and Tunisia, so who knows how good they really are? That said, I'm definitely rooting for another big win for Belgium in their last game ;)

As far as punditry's concerned I'll take lovely over "interesting".

Rom's performances when not managed by Mou are a stonewall indictment of Mou.

Fred fair comment on all counts

fuck is this (bbc coverage)

Halfway through laughing Drogba suddenly noticed the implication that Lukaku might be better than him and tried not to look too pissed off.

Lol same old Lampard

Stick a donck on it
