I would like to bid farewell to the angriest eyebrows in world football.
Pepe looks like Carrot Top.
Gotta love the Portuguese bench calling for the var for what looked like a handball by there own player at the end.
Nope Giroud distracts defenders and creates space for Mbappe and GriezmamQuote:

What Carvani did last night in both attack and defence will be on a highlight reels for a long time to come. The two goals were first class and the amount of running he did to cover for defenders was immense as well.
Probably the last time we will see Messi or CR7 at world cups and hopefully an end to this G.O.A.T garbage. The greatest players of all time lifted players around them to another level - something neither Messi or CR7 are capable of doing.
CR7 didnt he take a shit Portuguse side and lift them to a Euros??Quote:

He is a handsome fellow and they're only human afterall.Quote:

That Uruguayan mentality was present when we played them, and they still have it. You knew you were in for a game. Nothing was easy with them.
When I was a player, those were the teams you hated playing. You didn’t mind playing a Hamilton Olympic or Magic, but up against a physical and scrapping team like Weston or Southy or Edgy, you knew you were in for a game. (Those attributes have changed since I played haha)!
Ramos claiming an oggie ffs. Yeah...it's all your fault.
Actually, if the defender had watched the ball instead of trying to crash tackle
Ramos and fk his shoulder, he might have stopped the pill!
EDIT: Pen to Russia. Pique's arm...but it was Ramos' fault. :rof:
Fark.
Thought var was gonn give a pen then.
Good call!!
I'm conflicted. I want Iniesta to win but I want Ramos to lose.
Spain is so good to watch in an open game but when they play an opponent like that its horrid
Booooom!
See ya spain!
Russia would be going off right now!
Akinfeev was always a favourite FM buy back in the day. Glad he's gone on to bigger and better things than Grimariosby Town.
This will be interesting. Denmark have been unconvincing. Croatia have been great.
Also, Nizhny Novgorod is a great stadium.
All of them were pretty cool. I liked Samara’s space theme too!
Gee wizz, hope none of you were slow getting to the tv
Where are all those people claiming Spain had an easy path through the knockouts? Oops.
Plague
Pure of Art of Defending etc
See told you Pique dont belong
Has there been a change to the red card rule. Cant work out how that was only a yellow when he is about to score and noone between him and the goals.
Yes.
If the referee deems the player made a reasonable challenge for the ball, then there is a directive not to double punish the offence.
Eg. A penalty and a send off is a big penalty.
Whereas if it happens outside the box, then it’s probably a red card no penalty. In this case it was a penalty, no red card.
Anybody else think this Croatian keeper is creeping forward??
Fark. How good are these keepers though. Doing their part.
Schmeichal snr loving it.
Anyone can win this WC. Anyone puffing big smoke up the big nations are getting egg on their faces
Theve deemed Pen is enough of a penalty so only a yellow is producedQuote:

Even with all that we still only got through via the lottery of penalties.
Id argue our 2006 team had more Talent. Dukes Kewell Schwarzer Bresc etc. I only remember Recoba as a top talent from UruguayQuote:

Lopez played for Cagilari
Montero played for Juventus
RodrÃ*guez played for Shalke
Diogo and Garcia played for Real Madrid
Perez played for Monaco in Ligue 1
Dario Silva played for Sevilla
Sosa played for Atletico Madrid
Regueiro played for Valencia
Australia were nowhere near this standard.
I dont remember Forlan being in the 2006 team for those games?Quote:

Recoba had a night where he coudnt hit a cows arse with a banjo because if he could we would have got knocked out comfortably
Yeah Recoba and Forlan who else did they have at a top level? Honest question cant rememberQuote:

on a similar note, I think everyone in the world who isn't Brazillian (or is old enough to realise how big a prat Neymar is) are hoping Mexico go through tonight
His antics calling for VAR this morning were embarrassing. I’m not even sure what he was calling for, it was one of the clearest pens you’ll see.Quote:
