sorry, to replicate the Lawro experience the union jack hats shd be the only bit the commentator likes, and they spend the night moaning about foreign composers they haven't learned the names of and how the violins need to play faster

sorry vegemitegrrl just looking to get some education as the bad games were closing off. Good luck in next year's Eurovision :-)

i heard the colours thing was actually from waltzing matilda (green = coulibah tree, yellow = colour of most billabongs these days)

baffled that ilxors could be put off by lawro's relentless miserabilism
Everyone is put off by lawro's relentless miserabilism, who actually likes the cunt?

Alas for Peru but the defeats weren't blowouts and Guerrero got his well-deserved goals in the end. Next time, etc.

ilxors dont extend contrarian exceptions to those who were big in the 80s tbf

Croatia are sending out the B team plus Modric. If Iceland go through I think it’s fair to say the whole tournament is ruined.

Argentina have an uncapped goalkeeper who presumably can’t do any worse.

all these amazing players on the pitch and I’m rooting for marcos rojo

Next time! Cheers, and thanks for the help. Could have been well needed since Denmark decided to play at their absolute worst.

Iceland goal would be lovely right now. Annoyed that Croatia are playing something approximating a proper team.

what a pass by Messi
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link
Feels a little bit more performative than effective at the moment tho, all this running around at the cost of a bit of care and precision with the passing and as I type that ohhhhh what a through ball
― Cueva mutilation (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link
shit looks bad for the keeper there.
lengthy suspension for that imo

Agreed but then you realize Mascherano is still playing for them.

Apparently Messi is the first player to score in a World Cup in his teens, 20s and 30s.

this argentina side have been horrible for ages, they're decrepit and look to messi to solve all their problems, nigeria have a promising young team and are overdue a WC victory against argentina

Dropping Di Maria for the last game looks like having been a dumb move but dropping Aguero might turn out to be one as well.
