The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Jack Regan]

Never seen Cavani have a good game.

I always say this and no one ever believes me. Either for Uruguay, PSG or Napoli always shite.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I had that same stance and then I did see him play well once in the CL. It happened, really.

Generally though he looks like a shit pirate with a shirt two sizes too small.

 

[Nando]

Impossible to argue with his goal scoring record though , it's ridiculous.

 

[Jack Regan]

Bloody hell that was embarrassing from Pepe in the Portugal game earlier. Pathetic!

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Uruguay have to be one of the least inspiring teams in the tournament, they're so incredibly dull.

 

[Lord Knows]

Uruguay have to be one of the least inspiring teams in the tournament, they're so incredibly dull.

With Uraguay its always better if the opposition score first, if they get ahead they just hold and hold some more.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That was a terrible match. Probably the worst so far.

 

[Jack Regan]

Uruguay are like a South American Italy. 2 strikers and the rest of the team of defenders and defensive midfielders.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Clive - I am sure its really interesting about Gareth Southgate's injury but that could have waited until half time. Concentrate on the game in front of you, you fucking rocket polisher.

 

[SLB]

Can I see Diego Costa getting some Pepe treatment please

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Christ Iran like a roll on the floor.

I do think Costa knew exactly what he was doing there. Another one proficient in the dark arts.

 

[SLB]

$#@! off Pepe. Absolute clown.

William Caralho is horrendous. Horribly immobile, $#@! touch and actively tries to avoid the ball. No thank you.

William's Caralho? Sir I hope you have never seen William's Caralho to know it's horrendous...

Rodrigues needs to read this

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is going to be an absolute siege second half.

 

[sycophantia]

Iran defending brilliantly.....but can they keep it up for 90 minutes?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Terrible spectacle so far. Understandable why Iran are playing like this given the situation in the group but still, crap to watch.

If it were to finish 0-0:

Portugal 4
Iran 4
------------
Spain 2
Morocco 0

And you wouldn't back against Iran getting a 0-0 vs Portugal either, having seen both teams today. Could end up with three teams on five points.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Is that Tommy Fleetwood in goal for Spain?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

19% possession for Iran. Tony Pulis is sat at home loving this.

 

[Nando]

William's Caralho? Sir I hope you have never seen William's Caralho to know it's horrendous...

Rodrigues needs to read this

Hahaha! Excellent work by me there.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's been effective for them but it is a hard watch. Bilic makes a good point that most of the Spanish team are used to this tactic and continuing patiently until the mistake arrives. Pretty sure Spain will get one, and then the floodgates may open.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

One of the great spawny goals :icon_lol:
