World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 1 (14 June)

They've done well to convert this from an athletics stadium.

Don't tell West Ham

 

[cwy21]

God dammit, that's such a clear offside, give it lino! Stop fucking about waiting for VAR.

He did give it. Play restarted with a indirect kick to Saudi Arabia. He just delayed the flag while it was crossed in like he was told.

Oof, Dzagoev did his hammy there.

Oof, Dzagoev did his hammy there.

That's his tournament done.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Oof, Dzagoev did his hammy there.

Shame, the only decent Russian player.

 

[Marty]

I would not like to be in this Saudi side when they come up against Salah for Egypt, or Cavani and Suarez for Uruguay.

 

[rez9000]

Oh no! I have to watch Iran against Morocco on ITV! The only chance Iran have of getting a point in this World Cup and I have to endure that as well!

 

[Marty]

Shame, the only decent Russian player.

Isn't Golovin supposed to be the next big Russian talent? That's based on the pods I've listened to.

They'll be ripped to pieces. I've actually predicted Saudi Arabia to not get a single point in this WC.

Immense football this.

I remember him being the only player who had a halfway decent match in the Arsenal-CSKA second leg match. That game was utter dreck, but he had an OK match.

Are you telling me that you're not excited for the eventual UAE vs Jamaica World Cup match in 2026?

Unfortunately I will miss that one since I will boycott anything involving UAE and football.

 

[LSUY]

Well, that's settled who finishes 3rd and 4th in Group A.

 

[Marty]

Well fucking played by the Russkies but my word Saudi are even worse than I thought.

 

[werty]

Nice finish.

 

[Shadydan]

Gonna put money on Salah and Suarez scoring hat tricks against this lot, they are so shit.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Hackney Marshes defending ..

 

[rez9000]

I know it's only one match, but can someone explain to me how Saudi Arabia are ranked higher by FIFA than Russia?
