I'm hearing you..
Oh man I collapsed last night and slept 11hrs straight. Would still be there if not for a rampaging Plague jnr and work commitments.
(Note: I usually sleep 4-5 hrs a night at best).
its truly amazing
no alarms - only missed ten seconds of the France Belgium game and saw the kick off of England Croatia
everyone has a super power, this is mine
My alarm went off at 3:45am and i closed my eyes again before startling awake and seeing 3:55 on the clock. Went out and sat on the lounge and the ads came back and said "it's 1-0 England half time". It was 5am

Lets all spare a thought for Kalinic
Having a sook at being a sub and not a starter has now come back to bite his arse at a biblical level
Question has to be asked
Does he get a medal as he was techincally part of the squad???
Mornin.
not yet - it's still night time
by the way its been a tradition in the Plague household to bet the over 2.5 goals in the 3v4 playoff.
never been more nervous it wont pay out this time considering how wacky this World Cup has been.
England play some seriously ugly football.
The knives are finally out in the UK media.
Look at those two teams on paper and tell me England didn't over achieve at this world cup.
I also think people are forgetting that the golden generation of Belgium didn't deliver as predicted. Martinez isn't a good enough coach to win a world cup, Surely they know that now.
England
Lost 3 games
So did Panama and Egypt
They beat Tunisia with a last minute winner
They thumped Panama who even the Socceroos would have scored on multiple times
They beat Colombia who were lame as they were missing James Rodriguez who makes them good and they needed pens to do that
They beat Sweden who played poorly for them and were flat as
So all up England beat teams they should have
Best part about it is the tickertape parade and false hopes for the next 20 years that are coming
Reality is they actually ****ed up
Couldnt beat a nation with a population the size of Brisvegas and with a domestic comp more corrupt than this country to get into the World Cup Final
Couldnt have got a better run if Fifa were rigging it for them
Yet they are happy about this??
Go figure
I'd be ****ing ecstatic if my country went out there and played long ball bullshit, kicked lumps out of the opposition, got bullshit VAR decisions their way, rolled around like Neymar yet somehow rode their luck and made it to the semi finals
(not that England did any of those things)
to be honest I think England have actually been quite reserved and sensible about this success - given how ridiculous they usually are
maybe that's the result of reading sensible media and having English mates who aren't dickheads
We would not score many against Panama. Who would score the goals
tip time people!
france or croatia?
i'm on france in normal time, but i'd love it if croatia won.
Can only play the teams you get given.
I think they’ve done pretty well.
How many of their players would get a start in the French or Belgium teams? I’d say not many.
As a nation, you expect a lot better given their strength of domestic competitions, however maybe they are paying for their reliance on foreign players. Their league is helping develop other nations players.
Really though, their squad is nothing flash. They’ve had a “superstar” team for the previous competitions where players were picked because of their name, rather than their form and ability. This year they picked a reasonably lacklustre team, and Southgate changed up their style a little bit and idk, based on the low expectations due to their constant disappointment over the years, they’ve performed well. Hell. I’d love it if we made the semis. Couldn’t care less who they played. Can’t help who you play.
For all the England haters, at least you’ll be able to have a chuckle when in 4 years time everyone is focused on “doing one better”.
I think France will be too good, unfortunately.
They’ve done that thing where they’ve played rubbish and still won games.
I’m not really fussed on either team tbh.
Heart says Croatia
Head says France.
France. Kante will shut down Modric's time on the ball and I dont see Croatia winning unless Modric plays well
Qui es-tu, une sorte de con?
