The World Cup Thread

Keown - what an absolute helmet.

 

"Look at the spring" as Ronaldo barely has to jump to score Portugal's opener.

Yeah, that confused me as well.

I like that some Moroccan player has copied Petr Cechs haircut.

Ronaldo is at it again.....the bloke is a freak.

He is a joy to watch. That free kick against Spain was absolutely nuts.

Not anymore pal.

Obviously doesn’t like the comparison

Morocco looking half decent.

Wtf that bloke had Lego Hair, just took it all off and threw it away.

Like to press

Ziyech is a good little baller.

We should have gone in for him 2 seasons ago ho hum

William Carvalho looks utterly rubbish

Morocco a lot quicker to the ball and sharper at the moment. So much better than their opening game....

As per the first game, William Carvalho just waddles through games with no urgency.

They were quite spritely in that first game too for a while but completely lost it after about 30 minutes. They don't look to have much of a final third threat though... as soon as they get to the box the Portugal defence deal with them fairly easily.

These commentators are horrid. I've put on radio commentary. #equalitymess

Horrific isn’t she.

Knawing cheating angry beaver gets his first goal.

Only a matter of time before the land-shark scored

Cáceres still starting for Uruguay, thought he was considered past it when he joined us.

He’s not been great though.

What is it about Uruguay that makes them about as much fun to watch as having your teeth pulled out ?

Suarez?

Its more than that. I cant put my finger on it exactly. Its very negative, cynical, calculating/cunning football.

Disgusting team. Portugal not far behind.

Just seen the Pepe ‘dive’, what an absolute c**t, should have been sent off. Right in front of the ref who does nothing.

Too busy grooming Stephens for his 50k pw starters role. The Cornish Beckenbauer.

‘Bet it’s more fun’ my ar se. Me being a greedy bastard though HT/FT Spain was a gift. Fcking Iran spoilt that half. Although have managed to give Tyldeley a hard on. Doesn’t take much admittedly

Roy Keane - cheer up you paddy p***k.

The old alf-inge haaland smile.

VAR doing its job well again. Iran putting up a good fight though.

Spain look nothing to worry about!

I happened to mention that IMHO anyone who supports England and was going to Russia was rather insane etc.

IF the following is genuine then I feel my case is proved beyond any doubt.

A video showing a group of England fans giving sickening salutes and singing Nazi songs in the World Cup host city

of Volgograd, in which nearly 2 million people died during WWII, has appeared online.

In the footage, which was reportedly taken after England beat Tunisia 2-1 at Volgograd Arena on Monday, the morons

are seen performing Nazi salutes while shouting “Sieg Heil”. They also sang songs which glorify the Third Reich.

Southgate has dislocated his shoulder. And there goes any hopes of progressing through the group now, ffs.

If this is true, I hope the St. Petersburg Ultras tear them apart.

They are not doing that in my name. Stalingrad was horrific (both my wife's grandfathers survived but were captured on the German side, the PoW camp was horrific, and they had to walk back to Austria afterwards).

On the other hand, this could well be Putin propaganda.

It’s true (was linked in the independent yesterday) but in the same breath there were Russians doing the same. Just a bunch of right wing loons that masquerade as football fans.

Clive Tyldesley on ITV is increasingly almost as annoying, it’s as if each match day morning he downs a couple of cans of ACME Spouting BøłIøćks with his breakfast. And whilst Hoddle is at the toaster spikes his coffee with a few drops too!

Ah, Russia Today. No doubt this video of three drunken idiots, singing songs about Spurs fans/Jews, will be served up as justification next time 100 Russian ultras beat the living sh*te out of some innocent bystanders.

Yeah, Clive Tyldesley winds me up. No idea when to stop talking and seemingly on an ego trip. Probably was **** at football as a kid and has a very thin understanding of what's going on.

Nice goal

The only good thing about Clive Tyldesley is that he isn't Peter Drury. But he is still pretty unbearable.

Sisto looking good

Var bit harsh

Do I start booing Tadic in the next game?

Var bit harsh

A bit but IMO the right decision.

Var bit harsh

Can see why it was given.

It’s not VAR that was harsh, it was the ref. It was his decision.

Then why did he not make it straight away?

That was an interesting use of VAR for sure, denmark will feel a little bit agreeved - but it was a handball IMO.

VAR certainly makes games interesting......

Then why did he not make it straight away?

Perhaps he didnt have a clear view of it or benefited from seeing a replay or the incident from a different angle.

The game continued but to be honest I couldn’t give a rats arse as I have no allegiance either way.
