The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Alan]

Don't disagree with any of that, but other than one deflected goal Croatia haven't looked that different.

I more disagree with the need to see it as an extreme (Alan too with Alex $#@!ing Iwobi). It's ok to say something isn't very good, without feeling the need to paint it in 'turbo$#@!' colours.

Iwobi pisses me off, what can I say?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ok, you draw me up a sliding scale of terms I can use to describe terrible teams and I'll review it.

 

[Jack Regan]

No matter how bad Nigeria may be, that first half was a pile of crap.

 

[Johnny75]

Iwobi pisses me off, what can I say?

Fuck all would be a start

 

[Alan]

$#@! all would be a start

:angel:

 

[White Wolf]

So boring. And Nigeria are sooo bad but we knew that 2 weeks ago.

 

[playtheace]

Bloody awful match, Nigeria are a fucking pile of dog shit.

 

[Jinky]

From the teams who have played so far, I reckon only Portugal & Spain would trouble England. Nothing to fear from Argentina or France - but then again we could serve up a crock of shit on Monday night. It’s still early days!

 

[Johnny75]

I must be in the minority then as I thought Portugal were pretty shite bar two bits of Ronaldo genius and 3 holding defensive mistakes from Spain.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Victor Moses is a diving twat.

I said to trouble England, not to win the tournament!

 

[SSB]

Victor Moses is a diving twat.

He’s spent more time on the ground than the ball.

 

[jd1981]

Nigeria look like it’s the boys on tour and the football is just a bit of a side show.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Was that Ivica Olic on the Croatian bench then?

 

[Boozad]

I must be in the minority then as I thought Portugal were pretty shite bar two bits of Ronaldo genius and 3 holding defensive mistakes from Spain.

Said exactly the same last night, if it wasn't for Ronaldo and de Gea they'd have lost 3-0.

 

[Alan]

Croatia have hardly been any good themselves.

 

[YoungWolf]

Indeed, not been impressed by Croatia at all. They should be taking advantage of a game in which Nigeria have been poor themselves, with the quality they have going forwards.

Most teams haven’t looked very good but I’m not expecting us to look any better on Monday

 

[jlo]

Surely Moses is due a booking for diving now. Embarrassing

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Croatia have hardly been any good themselves.

They've done enough. Scored and subsequently kept awful opposition at arm's length. Not especially impressive stuff but we could play for the next three hours and it's hard to see how Nigeria would score as it stands. What actual threat are they supposed to be posing?
