    When in doubt blame Ramos.

    That Iceland clap in the game is effing intimidating.

    I just yelped watching that Nigeria goal. Absurd control on the cross.

    So...this "helps" Argentina right? I mean they have to win a game which seems VERY unlikely right now.

    If Iceland won they'd almost certainly be out.

    If Argentina beat Nigeria and Iceland lose or draw with Croatia, Argentina go through.

    If Iceland win it'll go down to goal difference or whatever.

    But Argentina have to beat Nigeria.

  • HermanoHermano Registered User regular
    I can't see Argentina beating Nigeria unless the manager changes, Nigeria look pretty good

    What is football's obsession with Seven Nation Army

    I think it's played at the Allianz Arena every time Bayern score and I think it's being played everytime a match starts at the World Cup as well? It's a good song but it's gotten on my nerves now.

    It's easy to remember and fits a lot of chants

    Yeah, I get why. I just want them to ignore their reasons and cater to me.

    Alright, new observation: VAR is fantastic and should very definitely be the norm from here on out. It's not perfect yet but they'll only be able to work the kinks out if it's implemented more and more. It might break up the flow of the game for a bit but if it lets the ref overturn stuff like the Neymar penalty, then I say it's worth it.

    VAR, it turns out, is great until it goes against you, then it's shit.

    As proven by my twitter feed after the DEN-AUS game.

    Started in Italy if I remember it right.

    The Swiss were impressive turning the game around against Serbia.

    Germany just dodged a penalty there. Looked like a shove to me.

    Portugal looks terrifying so far this cup. Ronaldo is on his best game, and they are tearing apart other squads.

  • ReginaldReginald When I am Pres., I will create the Department of ______Registered User regular
    I don't believe this VAR penalty. I mean, I'm not there, but it seems obviously to not be a handball.

  • DiarmuidDiarmuid Amazing Meatball Registered User regular
    The Iran - Portugal game descended into farce.

    VAR is worthless if it ends up nonsensical decisions like the Iran penalty and Ronaldo staying on the pitch.

  • FishmanFishman Put your goddamned hand in the goddamned Box of Pain. Registered User regular
    Ugh. Wake up at 6am this morning to stream the game only to find my internet is borked. Spent the last two hours trying to watch the game to no avail. Every stream service is unavailable.

    QUITE PERTURBED.

    I expect at least one mass confrontation and so many cards.

    Mascherano was one of the best players at the last World Cup, but he looks absolutely finished now.

    Sampaoli is gonna have to fix that to give Argentina any hope of going further.

    there's a reason Valverde played injury prone Vermaelen over Masche.

    I finally remembered that I had FIFA 18 installed and that they made a World Cup mode.

    They couldn't be bothered getting the squad size right, so you only get 7 substitutes to choose between. That managed to bother me enough to where I just quit after half a match.

    ... heja Sverige!
