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

that ref needs to just shave his head

Great, bit of aggreaux, what this WC has been lacking.

simulating or not, pulling player up off the ground shouldn't be tolerated

no it's good

otm

quite enjoyed that wee break in play but it's very unedifying to watch about two dozen consecutive angry interactions, each of them pathetic enough to barely be worth a booking at most

Uruguay are boned

Gary Neville's been doing that thing when he's trying to show disapproval while clearly loving every minute of it.

Uruguay knows this isn't an aggregate match right

Disappointed that Suarez is apparently going to get through an entire World Cup without doing something really cunty.

france are going to win this by beating the 3 top SAm sides in the knockouts before pulping some euro makeweights in the final

jimenez already in tears and it's not even ET yet :-/

weeper sweeper

There aren't really any obvious areas of weakness in this France team, maybe at fullback I guess?

weeping wall

Hernandez you mean? The other guy is good. The guy who looks like a character in an Eric Rohmer movie. (xp)

Uruguay's failure to properly chase this game has been hugely annoying.

crying in the wall

fella happy to kick all around him and turns into a fuckin childeen when he doesnt get his way

turn my fuckin stomach

this looking more and more likely

france the best squad going in and turning into the best team game by game

Uruguay's failure to properly chase this game has been hugely annoying.

they looked like they had already given up

once they realized it would all get blamed on the keeper the pressure was off

how many combined goals will Belgium-Bra have?

I feel like 3 feels about right

Toothlessness of uruguay (lol suarez) makes me reluctant to blame muslera for defeat. Second half they never looked capable of levelling a one goal deficit

i was more expecting Suarez to bite his own ear off in the box and blame it on France so he could get a Pen

kante can't go a year without a big trophy

can't he?

over/under on Neymar flops

naw gimenez

chadli starts!

1Courtois
2Alderweireld
4Kompany
5Vertonghen
15Meunier
6Witsel
8Fellaini
22Chadli
7De Bruyne
9Lukaku
10E Hazard

this is some high level martinez. no clue what formation they're going to set up in

chadli wing back against brazil i mean you have to applaud the man for putting his stamp on the tournament

could be a 4231

Think/hope this'll be open and footbally but if so can't see beyond Bra

If this pays off I reserve the right to recant and declare Bobby M a genius but this looks an awful lot like he's planning on playing a shitty Premiership 442 against Brazil.

do you think Jozy Altidore corrects anybody when he gets mistaken for Lukaku

i think it's a back three, his beloved wingbacks, witsel kdb and fellaini and then two upfront

im seeing it more of a 3421 with hazard and kdb behind lukaku

would kinda enjoy this being a 2-2 time in reg and being won in extra time

not too much difference obvs

looks like a back four. martinez is pure entertainment idc what the haters say

his team shipped two goals to a weak japan side and brazil are hardly likely to be less forgiving

also he didnae play boyata, big mistake (this is an in-joke for aficionados of scottish fitba)

Let's see if F******** manages to last the 90 minutes.

toby pressing neymar deep in the brazil half. kdb the furthest player forward playing centrally w rom and hazard to the sides. what other manager could deliver such football

Lukaku a p impressive run there

look at lukaku move!

This is already way better than France Uruguay.

colossal mishit in the box there

I did say FRABELENGRUS but it's all about BRA so far.

I enjoyed that one for a tug o'war match. this one's gonna be a blast.
