The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh, what a goal.

Xhaka with his occasional moment where he looks good rather than a massive shithouse.

 

[Johnny75]

Ivanovic diving under the ball. Stand up you tart.

 

[Kenny]

One way to deny Mitro...simply have 2 players hold him down. Next up, tie his boot laces together

 

[Tredman]

That was ridiculous, why have VAR and let that go.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was a penalty at Twickenham for crying out loud.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Excuse me but why is the linesman flagging for offside AFTER the Swiss lad has put it wide?!

If you don't know then leave it and VAR will check, fair enough (he was offside though and by a fair distance). Don't stick a token flag up when you know it doesn't matter.

 

[The Bear]

I guess they've been told to not flag until afterwards even if they are fairly sure.

 

[The Bear]

So that Milenkovic lad looks decent. He's played on the right of a back three and at RB for Fiorentina.

Worth a bid?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They have been told to let borderline stuff go. That wasn't borderline. The bloke was a mile off.

 

[Jinky]

Serbia have faded badly here. Switzerland all over them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Switzerland look miles better now they don't have the big lummox Seferovic clogging up every attack. So shit.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That goal has been coming.

 

[Jinky]

And there you go. They’ve been much better in this second half and deserve that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bloody hell, Tosic on the replay. Don't try to play offside there!

 

[Nando]

Deserved. Fair play to Shaqiri, he's been very, very good in the second half. If only he could play like this all the time!

 

[Jack Regan]

Suicidal defending.

Neil Collins against Bristol City and Dele Adebola.

 

[The Bear]

Stojkovic hardly made a great attempt at a save there. Go big yeah but he's obviously going to go across you not near post.

 

[BillyDee]

Too slow off the line too.

 

[Jinky]

We’re clearly going to sign another forward. Would people be happy with Mitrovic?

He's good, I just think Nuno is in the same bracket as Rafa - we want more from our centre forward than what he offers across 90 minutes. He's obviously a beast in the air and a quality finisher.
