I mean, I guess I should feel some sympathy for Croatia, since we only were at the Euro 92 championship because Yugoslavia got disqualified due to the wars. But we always lose to them, and the one time we beat them, in the qualification to the 98 World Cup, the assholes ended up qualifying anyway and making it to the semi finals :( I so wanted to beat them just once.

the chipper Manc lad had got this...but his teammates hadn't

made the right decision to play for Denmark tbh - it's the family firm after all. plus he's the vanishingly rare example of the son who's (almost) as good as his dad

like, most superstar footballer's sons are spoilt wastemen but he's turned out one hell of a keeper

more of a chipper cheshire chap

wild that one of Russia, Croatia, Switzerland, Sweden, England or Colombia will be in the final.

ogmor, Sunday, 1 July 2018 21:18 (five years ago) link

Are Croatia just perennially overrated because of modric and rakatic? I think probably

i know kore-eda (or something), Sunday, 1 July 2018 21:27 (five years ago) link

they did almost not qualify... still if you were ranking world cup sides by number of players on champions league teams they would be in the top 6 or 7?

Also probably the "best" team on paper outside the usual 4 or 5 contenders and I guess pundits have got to say something when they're asked for their dark horse pick

Windsor Davies, Sunday, 1 July 2018 23:25 (five years ago) link

Colombia being in the final would be dope

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 13:59 (five years ago) link

You can frizzle it later and tell everybody you’re Valderrama

btw i dremt a documentary came out that blamed all these WC upsets on me

Honestly can’t believe anyone in the USA roots for the USMNT over México in the first place

devops mom (silby), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:09 (five years ago) link

really?

I mean you must have missed Mexico's dire 2015 Gold Cup performance

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:11 (five years ago) link

looking good so far tho

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:12 (five years ago) link

I have missed 100% of soccer mind you I just find it sort of distasteful to root for the USA when el mundo hispanohablante is out there

devops mom (silby), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:13 (five years ago) link

Who what?

rb (soda), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link

sarcasm, btw

First 15 minutes of this has been better than all of yesterday

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:18 (five years ago) link

from what I've seen so far brazil look pretty useless with gabriel jesus politely trotting around from ineffective position to ineffective position, waiting for something to be dropped into his lap

ogmor, Monday, 2 July 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link

samba vs sombrero in samara sez rte man

im in a pub full of Brazilians its good but itll be better when they lose

mexico want a perfect chance and itll kill them

Good to see Mexico keep attacking from the LEFT

shaqiri tip (nashwan), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:22 (five years ago) link

xp aye, wasteful

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:24 (five years ago) link

julio is on holiday in nashwan's HEAD

mark s, Monday, 2 July 2018 14:25 (five years ago) link

mmmfff did well to withstand that burst

Seems like Brazil have a habit of persisting with players who just aren't performing, the last WC it was the Old Fred, this time it's Gabriel Jesus.

Alan Alba (Tom D.), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:30 (five years ago) link

this is as open as I was hoping. the goals will come. agree with Mexico waiting too long for uncontested opps

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:30 (five years ago) link

Brazil always have these guys tbf

Brazil terrible but luckily for them Mexico are pretty toothless. This isn't a good game

i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:32 (five years ago) link

Suddenly Jesus rises

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link

This is a dece to good game that could get great btw

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:34 (five years ago) link

Probably wouldn't have taken much to wash the taste of yesterday out of my mouth but this is two football teams playing football, would watch again

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link

Pundits feigning bafflement at whether possession is good or bad just a backhanded reiteration of British distrust of being on the ball

Kroos on first (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link

this has waves of attacking moves, last ditch defending and plenty of things to bemoan

ogmor, Monday, 2 July 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link

good game

It's drab come on

i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 2 July 2018 14:39 (five years ago) link

your moaning is drab mate, put some passion into it

ogmor, Monday, 2 July 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link

I'm not your mate
