The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

And just after a tremendous effort by Iran as well.

 

[Jinky]

They’ll probably win 4-0 now.

 

[Alan]

Back breaking for Iran.

Think they'd rather be beaten by a last minute curler a la Messi in 2014 than by that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They’ll probably win 4-0 now.

At least, I reckon. Iran are going to actually try and send men forward and they could get picked off.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Iran look decent!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Ahhh - disallowed. Well VAR check.

 

[Alan]

I would love for Spain to fuck this up.

 

[Jinky]

Don’t ruin this for everyone Ref... need this goal to stand!

 

[Jinky]

Screw you ref!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ah man.

It was offside though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bit hard to give that really. Hit the guy on the back in an offside position.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Hard to tell on the replay for me, the 19 looked the only one definitely off and I'm not sure he touched it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Why oh why oh why didn't you play like this earlier Iran? Spain are wobbling.

Big problem with international football in general. Underdog managers aren't willing to have a go, it seems. I maintain that that is precisely why Nigeria looked just so fucking awful.

I think they're just awful. Their first half at Wembley was comically poor. Like Martin Allen's Gillingham vs us in 2013 levels of poor.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nigeria looked that fucking awful because they are that fucking awful. Hardly a mystery worthy of Nancy Drew.

I mean, they aren't good right now. But Rohr's management of them makes them demonstrably worse.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Playground stuff on the line there :icon_lol:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Now that is a goal line scramble.

 

[Alan]

This is agonizing stuff.
