FIFA World Cup

Tedious game this morning. Spain have been like this all tournament, pointless possession.

@mariner4life I have them as favourites for the cup. If they meet France in the SF, their possession based style will probably win it for them. Also think their defence has been on point and best in the tournament. Cubarsi looks like a 10 year vet.

whos seen the close up of the henderson accident.that looks like hes snapped his forearm in half......unused sub gets a yellow card and a season ending injury

Yeah thats a gross injury

This is the best Belgium have looked all tournament. USA cannot handle the crosses. KDB and Doku will be itching to get on in the second half.

some beautiful goals

Comically bad defending from the US

literally tipped over his own feet

Now that FIFA have disgraced themselves because Trump asked them to ignore the red card suspension, I hope the USA lose.

Down two goals with 20 odd minutes left, things look good.

Perfect time for Doku to come on. USA have to press. Gonna be a lot of space in behind their backline in transition.

Hopefully Belgium hang on, because that goal would play well to Benny Hill music.

or a Minties ad from back in the day

USA almost as bad as the All Whites v Belgium at this rate. 4 - 1.

LOL

Losing 1 - 4 after corrupting the process to try to get the W.

Yah for the team in red, yellow and black!

NZ's 5-1 loss wasn't so bad now.

suck shit USMNT or whatever the lesbians make you call yourselves.

USMNT

Incredibly gay that they do that.

Nice day really, Ronaldo gone. Yanks can stop talking about how great they are after getting stuffed by a pretty average Belgium.
Pleasant. Would recommend.

Yanks yoinked from their own party, Neymar and Ronaldo in tears. Great day or so

looks like a fun chat between two dudes with the same number of World Cup medals.

Very happy with the result. USA looked off their game, not sure a co incidence if the prev 24 hours bullshit.

I don't know why, but seeing Ronaldo lose brings me so much joy. I generally enjoy seeing big teams crash out early, but there's just something about Ronaldo that makes it particularly satisfying.

I'm a lifelong United fan so will always have a soft spot for CR7. That being said, his ego and inability to put his country first makes it a bit more enjoyable watching them crash out of the cup. Everyone can see that Ronaldo drags Portugal down - everyone but Martinez and Ronaldo himself.

Great first half from Egypt

1-0 ahead

Messi has penalty saved

Whoa!! what a run and shot.

The guy down the sidelines keeping control and beating two Argies was awesome.

Haissem Hassan is on fire.

Bloody hell, Argies are back.Relentless pressure+skills.

Great teams find a way

The was pinpoint.

Some guy on the sidelines losing the plot - red card.

That was an excellent game. Must have been harrowing for both teams fans.

Great game. The Egyptians seemed too lose the plot at the end, arguing with the ref, but they reined it in at the end.
Understandable to a degree, and ultimately they sucked it up.
One of those games where you didn’t mind who won.

Day off today

QF commence tomorrow

First team is who I think will win
Second is who I want to win

France : Morocco
Spain : Belgium
England : Norway
Argentina : Switzerland

The competition needs a new winner

Failing that, England

So Morocco, Belgium and England all with a chance to get one over their former colonial overlords.

Some good history in Norway v England clashes. I doubt the Norwegian comms will remember the current England pms name to call him out if they do get one over him though.

If England go on to win it they'll likely have to beat Norway with Haaland, then Argentina with Messi, then France with Mbappe. If they do that it'll be one of the all-time great WC runs to glory. Won't happen, but I can dream.
