The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Deleted Cyber]

Brazil have got to have a go now. This could get really messy for them or be the greatest comeback since lazarus. I think they will concede more

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

2006?

Give that man a prize (I told you my memory was going)

 

[Alan]

Willian off for Firmino. Good sub.

 

[AndyWolves]

Brazil leaving themselves vulnerable to the counter attack right from the off. Playing de Byrne and hazard pivoting off Lukaku is working well for them. Vertonghen having a good game.

You feel it Brazil properly got wide they'd have a good chance 2nd half

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Hopefully we'll see that diving prick Neymar in tears in 45 mins time as his team has been knocked out.

Belgium still can't defend though, anything could happen in this half.

 

[Kenny]

FFS ref, just book the cheat.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Game back on. This will be given surely.

 

[Alan]

Lovely touches from Gabby Jesus.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh my word. How have they missed that?!

 

[Kenny]

Game back on. This will be given surely.

or not

 

[The Bear]

Good god VAR how is that not a pen?

 

[Alan]

Oh my word. How have they missed that?!

He's pushed the ball out of play tbf. Not sure what the "foul" by Kompany is actually denying.

 

[Boozad]

Belgium lucky as fuck there.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Blimey! Expected a pen there but suppose it was not considered clear and obvious

 

[Parkins left foot]

Kompany was stupid - really no need dive in for that as was going out anyway

Has got away with that as should have been given

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It should have been a pen but Jesus didn't help himself by rolling around like his leg had been hacked off.

 

[Boozad]

He's pushed the ball out of play tbf. Not sure what the "foul" by Kompany is actually denying.

Huh? He’s taken him out it’s a penalty.

 

[ndorsetwolf]

They missed it because the ball was out of play I reckon. Can't see any other reason.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's pushed the ball out of play tbf. Not sure what the "foul" by Kompany is actually denying.

Doesn't matter.

You don't get to hack down Joe Mason when he's one on one with a keeper because you know nothing at all will come of it.

 

[Alan]

Huh? He’s taken him out it’s a penalty.

Kompany has taken Jesus out, yes, but Jesus is never getting back to the ball regardless, IMO. By the book it should be given, but personally speaking I don't like it when players just wildly bat the ball in any direction in order to win a foul.
