The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

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

The protests over the human rights records of those two would be more interesting than any football they'd play

I can't wait until we have a Qarabag vs Astana Champions League final. On so many levels. Host it in Crimea too.

Martinez lost his first international match and hasn't lost since. That was 1 0 to spain. He got out of jail tonight but they are still in. Croatia got out of jail last night. Still there!

For those of you with a sense of humour
I hope England are still in this time tomorrow. The runes say 4 or 5 goals tomorrow but not who too! The tea leaves think Kyle Walker is in trouble,injury or suspension. Red cards predicted for tomorrow so good on to your hats. Could be us could be Colombia could be the other match.

Red card it is! Thats one. so now its 3 or 4 goals left?

 

[Lord Knows]

England.

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Henderson, Alli, Young; Lingard, Sterling; Kane.

 

[White Wolf]

Fuck off Ashley Young, twat. Rose must not be fit, which begs the question why did the idiot not call up Betrand. Dele Alli has had two good England games, ever. I would have Loftus-Cheek in.

Have a fiver on Colombia to win but might put some more on now.

 

[Nando]

Loftus Cheek will be better as an impact sub for me at this stage. I'm happy Alli is back in, he's a clever footballer.

Young can feck off though.

I'm no fan of Young, but Rose's performance against Belgium, particularly on the goal didn't exactly force Southgate's hand. It's the same team we knew it was going to be 3 days ago, so no point getting wound up over it.

 

[Tredman]

Would rather have RLC starts but him and even Rashford as imapac subs will.be good.

But going forward, Rose went past his marker umpteen times.
I would be amazed if Young does this once tonight...cue..run up wing.stop.turn back.pass to Henderson....repeat ad nauseum.

 

[White Wolf]

James Rodriguez is not starting.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's a good team bar Ashley Young over Rose, but that was always rather likely.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

James Rodriguez is not starting.

Not even on the bench apparently. He cannot play with his injury.

 

[Boozad]

Young shouldn’t even fucking be there.

 

[nimrod]

this time... we’ll get it right!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Clive opens up with a stream of bollocks on comms. Encouraging.

Time to put R5 or Talkshite on and mute the telly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I see birdman is back in the stands for Colombia! Not seen him since Italia 90.

Our anthem is dire isn't it? Just had that jaunty Colombian one now our slow paced dirge

 

[Langers]

Last time I was this nervous was before the Cardiff away game last season.

Come on, England!!!

I remember a Billy Connolly skit about that - although it was to do with the athletics. Basically saying that everyone else would be halfway round the track with their jaunty stuff while we plodded to the start line.

Yup one of the worst out there.
