Its been downright abysmal!Uruguay(who have yet to concede from open play),Sweden and Croatia seem to be the only ones capable of defending with some competence I pretty much stopped watching football after the 2014 WC,and I too think I will barely watch the next one. Some news: Neymar has...

So a nervous wreck of a coal black England go through.I'm not sure if this is the best outcome for us,but I am fairly confident now that Sweden can beat England provided they start well(basically don't concede early). Because the winner faces all-white Sweden who we are ultimately rooting for?

I'd gladly nuke it.

Is there any Colombian player who isn't booked already.What a bunch of losers!

Okay,I didn't know that.I'll have a lukewarm feeling about the outcome of this match regardless. Well from this perspective,Colombia is whom we must root for as they will be the easier opponent for Sweden,on paper. And here's the goal This is like watching an Athletico game,ugh.

Here's his goal. And the fact that Forsberg was taken off at the 82nd method tells us how much the coach values him. Just calling him a ******.That's what he,Neymar,Robben,Suarez,Diego Costa are. I still prefer De Bruyne,and he's suffering as he's being placed out of position. And Mertens...

I'm with Shadowlight: This is the bright side of a Belgium win.The second blackest team after France(ignoring Colombia) will face a tough fight from Belgium. And Brazil would look like world beaters against Japan and then the media would fawn over them and they would have a lot of momentum...

Haha,part of me knew it was too good to last. Lukaku missed when it was easier to score. Do you and Engsieg browse on mobile? The Belgium goals btw: Vertonghen 69 Fellaini 74 Chadli 95

Brazil looked legit scary today,and have to be favorites after the ease with which they spanked Mexico. Neymar scored a goal and assisted the other,but I am in no mood to praise him thanks to his sickening sickening theatrics.Robben and Suarez would have been proud of that. A word about Mexico...

Phew Croatia make it through,and I'm glad to be wrong as this is the better result from a caste,footballing perspective. Now one more strong team to back aside from Uruguay.

And guess what,just like that Schmeichel saves a penalty in extra time.

You didn't quote your post properly,so I've tried to fix that. On topic,you give me too much credit.There are and have been posters here who could not only predict scorelines,but also scorers and the phase of play which would lead to the goal,with some accuracy. Regarding tiki taka,Mourniho...

It was just football wankery with no pace,precision or real creativity: Spain made 1137 passes in 120 minutes which is new official world record. Just the same old probing and cutbacks and stuff.Funny thing was they went most direct after Diego Costa was subbed off.Germany and Spain really...

Strongest team in the world so far,by some distance.Godin-Jiminez and Suarez-Cavani won't be matched by any other corresponding pair in this tournament.Muslera is a weak spot though and their midfield while competent,may not be the best. [QUOTE="Shadowlight, post: 724476, member: 3025"]I was in...

It was him all day,bumbling from one error into another.He was so bad I would have taken Titus Bramble or even Papy Djilobodji over him. The buck stops with Sampaoli and its scary that he isn't stepping down and rumors say that the AFA can't afford the 20m compensation that they would have to...

Sensational goal by Cavani after a World Class pass by Suarez: https://streamja.com/6KoA https://www.clippituser.tv/c/xbaxwk https://my.mixtape.moe/ffmvwf.mp4 Uruguay leading at half-time!:cool:

Reports in Turkey that Mesut Özil will RETIRE from the German National team. This made my day. Could be true considering that he will be 33 next time around and he always looks like he is constipated.I'm sure that I've never really seen a "top" player who is as constantly fatigued at the 70th...

I didn't see that till you mentioned it now.And I'm glad you got something out of that tribute. Giroud did brilliantly,but the Argentinean defense was at sixes and sevens really.It looked amateurish at times to be honest,and Mbappe had a bit to do both times to be fair,especially on the first...

I'd end the list at 3 honestly.Portugal is too black,but the bright side is that Ronaldo will get all the credit,and Belgium is fairly white but the problem is that Lukaku will be praised for everything they do. Forgot they are yet to concede.They are very solid and Godin and Jiminez as good a...

Griezmann (13') - 1-0 Di María (41') - 1-1 Mercado (48') - 1-2 Pavard (57') - 2-2 Mbappé (64') - 3-2 Mbappé (68') - 4-2 Agüero (90+3') - 4-3 I'm so angry on the neanderthals that make up the Argentinian defense.And let's not forget that clown of a goalkeeper either. It looked like...

I think this is the biggest problem honestly,losing 3 players like these all at once was a huge blow. He looked really burnt out,reminds me of Jack Wilshere. Hit the nail on the head.This caused unnecessary controversy and not only sowed discord among the team,but also the fans and...

Thanks for the compliments,Shadowlight.I think you are right that Brazil has a real good chance of winning the cup as things stand,but there's a long road on the way,so let's reserve our judgement.Also the team is too dependent on Coutinho and Neymar now. I think you are right that Denmark are...

Two really shocking transfers in the last few hours :nusenuse:: Wayne Rooney joins DC United Jack Wilshere’s moves to Fenerbahce Am I reading too much into this,or are some white players in the Premier leagues subtly,if sub-consciously,recognizing that there is no place for them in the league?

So the group stages are completed,and no team bar Croatia has really set the stage on fire so far.The football in general and the defending in particular has been extremely disappointing.Thinking about Jose Mourinho's Chelsea(the first time) and Greece's legendary team in 2004 brings a tear to...

Loving the fact that this World Cup is being dominated by Europe and South America,with only Mexico and Japan being the other two countries to qualify.14 teams from Europe and South America and 1 from North America and 1 from Asia.Zero from Africa:afro:(for the first time since 1982),and I...
