Norway and England - whoever would have thought??

Lucky England have the Sunday QF. They'd be knackered after this game.

KiwiPie

What a game, that was exhausting to watch. Hydration break critical for England to reset and bring on another very tall centre-half

Cue the Rorke’s Drift memes

Hell of a shift from England fair play

No Quarter

Always support team USA. It makes the worst kind of euros angry when they win.

The Yanks know how to rub it in as well which is always entertaining

No Quarter

Holy shit this was painful to listen to lol

@Windows97 said in FIFA World Cup:

Well cynically speaking the top players are getting extra games and are against weaker opposition. They should be putting in more goals (which is probably the point of the tournament).

The rules have been tinkered with over the decades, all the tinks in favor of the attackers.

Plus some of the finishing has been absolutely superb.
Almost like the strikers are aiming more for the post, than the goal.

FUCK YEAH

@mariner4life This is the same FIFA that arbitrarily decided that a red card now no longer means a game's suspension?

It's the most corrupt sport on the face of the planet.

Yeah, I’m following the World Cup and getting excited during the games.
But that doesn’t hide how corrupt fifa is.

It’s like watching the Tour De France or the Olympic 100 metres. It’s a spectacle, but it’s also a farce…

Although there has always been some dodgy FIFA dealings going on behind the scenes with hosting etc, I've never really thought there was match fixing etc.

But that's gone now given that Trump has said that "he asked for the review".

Have to assume that this dude will play, and given it's a home tournament that the crowd will be behind him, but every single thing about this is just so wrong.

MajorStokes

Although I argued with @mohikamo above the point that Euro teams are boring to watch is fully reinforced so far for Spain vs Portugal.

300 passes to get it in the box in not a great place for your striker.

Rinse, repeat.

Last quarter now …. Will somebody really have a crack?

He promised change, but Infantino is just a younger Blatter.

Roberto Martinez will be looking for another golden generation to waste.

Merino scores a lot of important goals.
