The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Paddingtonwolf]

Lovely finish but the defending is shameful. Utterly shameful.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Egypt just aren't very good at all, not enough in the rest of the team to even get Elneny and Salah into the game with any frequency.

If you will play Hegazi and a centre half so bad he couldn't displace Hegazi in the West Brom team as your central defence...

*wanders off to see how the westbrom.com "albion players at the world cup" thread is going*

 

[Jinky]

Russia are a team full of confidence & fair play to them. They play to their strengths and the big lad up top would be a handful for any side in this World Cup. I still think any side with genuine quality going forward would cut their defence to ribbons.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Agreed Jinks. I think they are last sixteen material tops, really. Might scrape into a quarter final with a huge wind in the their sails, but absolutely no further.

 

[Jack Regan]

Gotsta be a penalty?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Goal difference means they'll probably win the group even if they lose vs Uruguay. Odds are they'd play Portugal in the second round then. And they'd lose.

Another success for VAR... Shame it was broken last night

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Another correct result for VAR.

 

[The Bear]

Is that the first time that VAR has over-ruled a decision without the ref going over to take a look at it himself?

 

[darlowolf64]

Salah scores the Pen

Portugal or Spain and they'd lose.

Oooo, Danny Murphy is DELIGHTED with that

 

[Jinky]

VAR just highlights how shocking some of these referees decisions are. How’s he not given a penalty in the first place there? :icon_lol:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oooo, Danny Murphy is DELIGHTED with that

Your Liverpool pharaoh is going home Danny

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Has Salah had an injury? They haven't mentioned it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He sounds so fucking BITTER about it. This is EGYPT losing not England you fucking melt.

 

[Alan]

Well done Russia. I didn't think they'd make such easy work of advancing.

 

[Jinky]

He sounds so fucking BITTER about it. This is EGYPT losing not England you fucking melt.

I think you have an unhealthy dislike for poor Danny. You were the same last time he was on co-commentary :icon_lol:

Compared to some of the others, Danny Murphy is fine.

Can't think of any reasons for Wolves fans to dislike Danny Murphy...

The Salah love in is pretty embarrassing, he's still at the tournament. Plenty of players missing the competition due to injury (including England ones) they don't keep bleating on about them.
