The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

And yet, there they are. This attitude absolutely does my head in. They could win the whole damn thing and you'd still say they're shit and didn't deserve it.

Yep. Shit football should not be rewarded. I know you don't and never will understand this so there's no point in doing this again and again.

Yep. $#@! football should not be rewarded. I know you don't and never will understand this so there's no point in doing this again and again.

Maybe we should award points based on how pretty the football is rather than goals, then. You know, have subjective judges hold up signs for points out of 10, like ice dancing.

Alright McLeish.

Football is called the beautiful game for a reason. Probably the same reason why the US have never got football, it's not just about winning.

Why do you insist on wanking off to perceived lesser sides? Are you unable to just watch a game of football and enjoy the game without supporting a team? I want just want to see quality football and neither provided.

 

[Freddeno]

Yeah, good luck England...fucking delighted right now

Then again I would ask, why even make it a competition at all?

At the end of the day, the goals you score determine the winner. Not possession, nor passes completely, nor rabona flicks or any other daft thing like that.

It's the attitude that the "lesser sides" don't deserve what they have that sticks in my craw.

You still don't get it.

That's not the point, smaller nations playing great football are what it's all about (hi Holland) any side, England included, stinking the place out with boring football should get to fuck

You can play good football even if you aren't the best side in the world. I don't get why you defend poor football, if you want to watch bad teams win and shit football go watch the Euro 2004 highlights on repeat.

Nice one, Fred. Very pleased to see your lot go through.

Well Greece won Euro's 2004 & from memory they were fairly dire - still got their name on the cup which is more than England have

Precisely.

 

[SLA]

If teams want to try to win by playing dull attritional football, that's entirely their right. Just don't expect anyone to applaud them for it or to wish them well, especially neutral observers.

 

[White Wolf]

Precisely.

How many games did you watch of theirs?

 

[Freddeno]

Nice one, Fred. Very pleased to see your lot go through.

Thank you, football can be played in many ways..possession is one of the biggest frauds in the game, doesnt mean nothing, chances and goals, thats all..we are a real team that work together..not like for example Argentina

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Is the paint dry yet?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sweden are very attritional. Kudos to them for what they've achieved - knocking out the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and now in a World Cup QF.

It is perfectly reasonable to observe that along with that, their football is shit to watch and their centre forwards are about as threatening as Jake Cassidy.

 

[White Wolf]

Give me a Saudi Arabia v Zimbabwe final any day over this rubbish, would be nice to see an underdog win.
