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

we're at 2.65 goals per game now, just a little under the average for the 2014 World Cup

Poland to win this, bye bye Colombia.

Gadzooks I think notte

hard to tell what Colombia is up to. Played most of their world cup with 10 men.

could've had 6-2 Rodriguez

why do embedded tweets leave orphan question marks now?

FPed for a prediction? The cameramen's eternal search of the crowd to find attractive women is definitely on in this game.

ffs not McCoist

not a fan of this Colombian kit, looks too much like Detroit Pistons circa 1989

injury ball

lol at that Panama clip

You're supposed to be able to restart the game if all outfield opposition players are off the pitch apparently

There was a pic of the entire Portugal team celebrating in the corner with one player standing on his own inside the touchline from the Spain game

^this is not true but has been v widely circulated

panama deserved that result

Well, it's reached Panama, we know that. (xp)

yeah the rule book mentions that the referee has to whistle the kickoff ffs

And having checked up on it, it's total bullshit, but Panama obviously believed it too!

"if two midfielders leave the pitch, you may place a banana peel on the field"

Panama also had a player run past the white line and blocked the US's free kick at close range in 2015's Gold Cup consolation, so their knowledge of the rules seems sketchy (the official allowed it, even more bafflingly)

the red-white-yellow-blue of the crowd makes the stands look like a mondrian fed through a shredder

I thought the accepted view was that contra motson and his 'african ignorance' line (I mean how cld he have possibly been actually confused about free kicks?), he was just time-wasting to avoid a heavy defeat and the repercussions that wld come from the mobutu regime. this panama shit though

they fell victim to fake news.

japan-senegal was v enjoyable, senegal the good sort of burly and it's pleasing to see japan actually get some results bc they have played some decent stuff in past WCs no avail

senegal are a mourinho team of hurdlers and japan are wengeresque technicians surprised and unhappy with ilx pref for former

Even if Japan got a lucky break to have play a 10-man Colombia. xp

As in yeah I am happy for Japan - think they won a match at the WC for the first time? Still want Colombia and Senegal to go through.

Just caught five minutes of this in an Eastbourne pub. Atrocious. Might be the first 0-0

colombia were disgraceful in that game, but it was v entertaining

This match is pretty good! Colombia are playing some good stuff after a slow start.

Agree with you about Eastbourne pubs imago

fkn hell Cuadrado!!

Ally McCoist is clearly angling for a travel documentary series on ITV2.

He needs the work.

Was impressed with the architecture review tbh.

yes!!

beautifully worked

Fkn easy. Poland are shit.

statuesque polish defence

imago wtf colombia have been superb

truly disappointing, Poland. They seemed to have an excellent squad on paper.

what a jump

LOL you can take the goalkeeper out of Arsenal but...

Man I so want an Eng - Colombia round of 16.

the way mccoist recited his notes on maxim gorky when he was in nizhny novgorod was hilarious & champion's "you wear your research very lightly don't you?" was perfect

I must have seen the 5 minutes where Poland were just knocking it around at the back

Pity he has to talk about football really. (xp)
