The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Tony Towner]

If they hadn't beaten us I think they would have made the final

 

[YoungWolf]

Agree TT. They are a bit like France. Lots of a talent but not that convincing. I think Brazil will beat them

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Belgium will win tonight in the end, but it won't be easy. I like the way Japan are playing very much. Then I fancy Belgium to beat Brazil, and then the semi-final against France or Uruguay is a coin toss.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

BTW - Klinsmann (vomit vomit) is actually a really good half time summariser. Works well with Rio as well.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

All be it he was never given a decent ball but I wasn't greatly impressed by Raul today, though to be fair with mexico playing everything up the middle he had two markers all the time.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I didn't see enough to say, but it is somewhat hard to judge him on twenty minutes at left back against Germany and similar time against Brazil. Let's see what he is like in a Wolves shirt I guess.

 

[The Bear]

Finish!

 

[Tredman]

Get the fuck in!! Getting deadly stares for cheering then

 

[Alan]

Sugoi!! Japan!

Get in!

 

[Jack Regan]

How is Witsel preferred to Dembele in this Belgium team? He's playing in a non entity of a League offers very little from a going forward perspective and doesn't exactly put his foot in or cover the ground like someone like Kante.

Get in! Looked like he'd passed up the opportunity.

 

[Alan]

That's really poor from Vertonghen, goodness me.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I think it's safe to say they will win this.

Or maybe not :icon_lol:

 

[Tredman]

Game has woken up now!

 

[The Bear]

Agreed about Witsel. Always looks rubbish to me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody hell. Very composed finish and now Belgium have to wake up.

 

[Alan]

Oh my. What a chance for Hazard.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Really good counter attack by Japan - 'if' they can keep this up for the full match then they have a chance of snatching this

 

[Del Woppio]

This world cup is absolutely fucking bonkers :icon_lol:

 

[Alan]

This world cup is absolutely $#@!ing bonkers :icon_lol:

The best kind of bonkers.

 

[The Bear]

My word!
