The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Nando]

Correct decision. Well done ref, eventually.

 

[Johnny75]

It's the correct decision but the ref's lost it here.

 

[nimrod]

could easily have got a shot away as well.

shame they didn’t have var for robben’s similar antics in the past.

 

[Dinowolf]

Triple Salko with pike. Should have been booked.

Now booked for thumping the ball thus showing dissent.

 

[The Bear]

Good decision.

I wish Clive would stop saying "Dooglas Costa"

And on Paulinho, Tite has previously gotten the best out of him in this formation. In qualifying he scored as many goals as Neymar.

 

[Johnny75]

Disgraceful decisions not to book the Costa Rican's for the assaults on Costa. Shithouse officiating.

 

[SLB]

Pepes...Pepes everywhere...

 

[b3h]

Thought CR were gunna hold on there. Shame

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hard to argue that Brazil haven't deserved a goal. But still, it's hard on Costa Rica to lose at the death.

 

[YoungWolf]

GOAL

 

[jd1981]

Fair enough Brazil have been drab but deserve the win.

 

[Lycan]

Why do they always cry? Cry if they lose, cry if they win, cry if they draw...

 

[Keef]

Excitable Latinos innit

 

[The Bear]

An unconvincing win but a much needed one.

 

[Alan]

Too bad, I thought Costa Rica would get out of their group. Couldn't repeat last Cup's magic.

 

[Johnny75]

Brazil deserved their win and I must be in a minority in hating the antics the Costa Rica got up to.

 

[YoungWolf]

Why do they always cry? Cry if they lose, cry if they win, cry if they draw...

I think the pressure (was the same four years ago) is just too much. I had them down as favourites before the tournament but after seeing their emotions I just can't see them doing it.

Brazil deserved their win and I must be in a minority in hating the antics the Costa Rica got up to.

You're not on your own in that regard.

 

[Tredman]

FFS BBC did you have to show that.

 

[Jack Regan]

Positive start from Iceland.
