The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

Fucking awful touch there when clean in.

These are NOT good sides.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Should have been a really good game.
Argentina defensively suck
Croatia need to step up. They are there for the taking.

 

[NoodleWolf]

Whoa who was that got absolutely clattered in the background after he'd passed to Modric? I think the ref was playing on but surprised they didn't have a look at it. Looked high and late on first viewing.

 

[Nando]

Having seen him twice now I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. All style and zero substance.

7 goals in 63 games for Celta Vigo. 1 in 9 is terrible even for a winger.

He scored 8 goals in 34 appearances last season! 9 assists too, so a goal/assist every other than game. More than decent.

Both Wiki and Transfermarkt say 4 in 34 last season.

In any case, he hasn't looked anything like effective for Denmark so far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well that was a blatant a yellow as you could ever wish to see.

 

[Local Wolf]

What a cock

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Cabellero you fucking immense belmer!!!!! That is hilarious

 

[Nando]

No fucking way.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

So predictable. War crime of a goalkeeper.

 

[Tony Towner]

Excellent save by Caballero, cue colossal mistake at some point later in the game.

Yep

 

[AndyWolves]

Wow, that's immense

Messi is gonna have to bail them out.... somehow

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think Argentina could be gone. How does the group look after a Croatia draw against Iceland (assuming Iceland beat the wankfest known as Nigeria)?

They'd both go through, assuming this stays as it is.

 

[Boozad]

Argentina are absolutely rank. Take Messi and Aguero out of their starting lineup and that's as bang average a side as you'll ever see at a World Cup. And Caballero takes the biggest fuck up ever award, monumental that was.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Thought so. Iceland win tomorrow and that game is going to be West Germany v Austria 1982 (assuming there is no Messi-based recovery here)

 

[Sniffer]

Echoes of 2002. Argentina gets knocked out in the first round with the countries economy in turnmoil.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Argentina look utterly clueless. And cannot get Messi on the ball even

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep

You don't exactly have to be Nostradamus to predict a howler from little Willy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I cannot believe quite how bad Argentina are. And people moan about Portugal being a one man team?
