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

Still unshakeable feeling they haven't bottled it yet.

How did Dier not end up as an IT technician?

The new Ted Sagar.

Same. One can only hope. Sweden beating England would be sweet, but perhaps a beating by Rassiya in the semis would be even better idk. Either way it needs to happen.

They have you beat by a lion:

Really I just see large cats.

Nail polish is on point for both.

Mark Geiger doesn't need cards and a whistle. He needs a whip and a chair.

I think it's admirable that on the world stage, with billions watching, Mark Geiger doesn't forget who he is

You’re looking at this all wrong. This is Geiger’s moment. Let him cook*

The kitchen is on fire and no we don’t know where the goat came from either

In another life, Mark Geiger was that supply teacher that the kids just don't take seriously.

spurs are going to win the world cup

That's even worse than England winning it.

had to turn pens off but gather we have to suffer thru more of this

Honestly, Colombia being dicks aside, England were not very good for long stretches of this game

did england even have a real shot on goal? danny rose was close in extra time but otherwise??

particularly happy for xyzzzz who now won't have to endure Colombia-supporting hipsters bunkering his chi

according to final stats, 2, but I"m assuming one of those was the first penalty goal....

and this was out of 16

the entire nation of Colombia are suffering karmic retribution for Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) tbf

> think I had england (head) over colombia (heart)

let's ask the video referee...

"col - eng: who knows. eng win? hope it's col win"

we lost to people who eat beans on toast....... what the fuck................

— 🇨🇴 g a b y 🇨🇴 (@gabydvj) July 3, 2018

beans on toast is a long way down on the list of this nation's sins

it's our one virtue

This old fat furry shambles of a win is dedicated to Firmin, Bagpuss, Yaffle, all the lads up there.

cuthbert dibble grubb, yr boys took hell of a beating

you'd think your colombians would want to focus their consternation on the fact that they were 2nd best in that shitshow rather than worrying themselves with superior breakfasts

never mind beans on toast, in this age the fashion is to eat them straight from the tin (in some shithole bedsit!)

I hope the Colombians love their blood sausage too.

all my goodwill toward England at this point is essentially Spurs-based and all my ilx-related goodwill toward England at this point is essentially boiling Tom D's piss-based

Not another ILX Spurs fan!

England weren't great but they were the better team for most of the 90 and the second period of extra time. The first period was horrendous. On balance they deserved that.

Secretly quite happy that Davinson Sanchez had a decent game and didn't disgrace himself as well.

yeah colombia had no real scoring chances either until that cuadrado shank... it was a pretty ugly game. at least the circus reffing made it somewhat interesting

So Drunk right now

— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) July 3, 2018

The refs are clearly under instruction to lay off bookings and sendings-off if at all possible in this World Cup.

Why, pray tell?

He's had a really good World Cup. Could be a big star for us next season

the nations in england's periphery ('greater england', if you will) can only resist its gravitational pull by stubbornly defining themselves in opposition to englishness wherever they encounter it, especially the most obvious and potent manifestations of it, such as the brave lion of albion harry kane. as was explained to me by a scottish friend, the fear lying deep within the heart of all scots is that they are, at bottom, an english cunt, and thus they must protest as hard as possible to shut such thoughts away. it is therefore the noble burden of all humble & goodly yeoman pigs of fair england to embrace the role of villain so that the fragile identities of their truculent friends can be protected

Could be worse, could be the English rugby team.

ogmor otm for the scotch and possobly the welch (or dont they just consider themselves a poor mans english?) but for us, if we were included at all (unlike for instance a gladstone budget) its more about watching what the six counties might like and doing the opposite

To be fair to the Scotch, they never allowed themselves to be crushed and humiliated like the other two, so consider themselves more as equal partners.

lol 2014 vote no to stay in the eu

Vote yes, you mean.

well, indeed hindsight eh

for me it’s very simple: i hate football and i hate the english so if i can hate them both simultaneously it frees up more time for me to hate myself
