The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Thoroughly deserved win for Uruguay.

I hope Cavani is fit for the next match, the tournament would be worse off without him (plus he's not on our side of the drawer).

I can't believe how many average central midfielders were picked ahead of Ruben.

 

[Alan]

Thought Portugal were actually quite good in the second half but ultimately couldn't finish any chances. Uruguay's CBs were immense.

Sign laxalt, had an excellent game as for cr7, I should have played. Ruben and Diego must be gutted!

Should we be worried if they sack the Portuguese manager?

Diego who?

You mean about Nuno going? He's just signed a new contract and would probably be well aware that there's potentially a vacancy comin up for the national job, so I doubt it.

 

[Kenny]

Where is the news on Nuno signing a new deal? Seen the Neves stuff but not Nuno

I saw it on FB...... (Hangs head in shame)

I'm really enjoying this World Cup so far, has been one of the best I've known. A shame that after this we're moving to Qatar and the winner and then expanding to 48 teams. Feels like the last real World Cup.

The USA will save it in 2026

Spain and Croatia through today, all favourites

 

[Dinowolf]

Spain not picked Iniesta.

 

[Lord Knows]

Spain not picked Iniesta.

Obviously expecting Russia to make them run.

 

[Jack Regan]

I do love that Russian anthem.

 

[Jack Regan]

Defender too busy trying to foul Ramos to actually deal with the ball. 1-0

 

[The Bear]

I do love that Russian anthem.

One of my favourites too.

 

[Freddeno]

Really miss Iniesta

 

[Jack Regan]

The Russian's cannot get a kick at the moment.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Typical Spain football. I don't care about the aesthetes that tell me this is the most wonderful football ever. Its fucking dull.
